GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Updated, January 20, 2019
- The Lucha Xtreme Wrestling or LXW for short is a brand new e-federation that fuses both the lucha libre and American styles of professional wrestling that will debut in the e-wrestling world in 2019. LXW is new to the e-wrestling world, but the owner/founder of LXW is surely not, with over 10 years e-wrestling experience Omar Azure is determine to lead this fed into a sensational one.
- Lucha Xtreme Wrestling is a fictional roleplaying wrestling promotion. None of it is real so there's no affiliation with real wrestlers or real wrestling promotions.
Mission Statement
- Our mission is to be a fed dedicated to provide an efedding experience for people that don't always have several hours a week to devote to the hobby. From students that have to focus on school and homework to e-fedders with full time jobs and overtime, LXW will evolve into the place for you. We realize that efedding is a hobby, not a way of life; we want to provide an overall fun atmosphere for old and new efedders alike.
Motive Statement
- Our motive is to strive to have fun, and for our members to become like a family. New members will quickly notice that we offer a fun OOC environment rarely found anywhere else.
Events
- We have one show every other week, either a Fight Night or a PPV, both on Friday. We count one roleplay a week for match judging purposes, with some exceptions. For more information continue to read this handbook.
- The LXW typically holds shows ranging from small to large in the United States with plans to eventually hold shows in other parts of the Globe. Even though LXW is a fairly small to moderate sized promotion that is regionally based, it gets quite a bit of exposure through its bi-weekly television program Friday Night Fight which airs live in prime time every other Friday evening on facebook Live and is rebroadcast in syndication on several national, local and international online networks. There is only a 1 roleplay limit for matches unless the show card says otherwise.
Pay-Per-View
- LXW will run one PPV every other month, however during this time we may run some supercards every now and again when there is no PPV scheduled. Again, there is only a 1 roleplay limit for all matches, nless the show card says otherwise.
Championships
- Welcome to Lucha Xtreme Wrestling!

However, if the rules or anything are to be modified, Management will usually send out notification of doing so. Still, with that said, please check up on the rules often to see if anything has changed.
- Lucha Xtreme Wrestling was created with the intention of having fun. Please refrain from applying to LXW if you have a habit of being a troublemaker. If you wish to argue In-Character, please, feel free to. But if you have issues with someone Out-of-Character, please keep them off the Social Media like Facebook and etc., and the Community Forums. If push comes to shove, and the handlers involved cannot handle their issues maturely, Management will try to mediate as best as possible.

GETTING STARTED
GETTING STARTED
Updated, January 20, 2019
- Original applications only. No real wrestlers or celebrities/public figures of any kind. This includes blatant rip-off's of real wrestlers/celebrities.
- Our picture base and theme song policy is TWO per CHARACTER. This means that if ANYONE has a picture base or theme song you wanted to use, you’ll have to select a different base and/or theme song. If the character uses anime, custom posers or anything along the lines, please make sure to have resources as they can be tough to find and create.
- This rule is specific to Omar and his graphic role on the site. We ask that you only select picture bases who have plenty of large (800x600 and above) high resolution images to work with for cuts and blends. Working with low quality images for roster icons and event posters makes things look less attractive and is an unnecessary stress. It can be avoided by using bases where good quality imagery is plentiful. Thank you.
- Finishers and Trademark Moves are also exclusive to individual characters. This means if someone else uses a specific finisher or a trademark move, you cannot share that move and must select another. This keeps moves unique and individual to roster members.
- Once you join the fed, you have FIVE (5) days to select your application and submit a fully completed one for your character. This must be filled out in full to be accepted. If after this time you have not submitted an application, you will be removed from the site.
- You can have as many characters as you can handle. They can be decided on wrestlers/non-wrestlers as long as you're able to handle more than one or two characters. We don't want you to burn yourself out.
- Fight Night events use a dynamic booking system for their matches, meaning that there is no set match order for shows. Instead, match order is determined by merit, with the main event spots going to fights where the participants put the most effort in. Conversely, show openers will tend to be the fights involving handlers who put less of an effort in. It means anyone – regardless of status – has the ability to get the main event slot and enjoy the salary bonuses that come with it.
Disclaimer

Characters
Updated, January 20, 2019
- Once you have registered and been approved you must create a character's contract as in profile, biography, move set and etc. Please Note…..you have 5 days to post your contract up. Whether it's a wrestler or a non-wrestler you must post a contract or else your account gets deleted. If you need more time to do it please notify LXW Management. You have to create a character bio before you will be booked on a show. The profile serves two purposes. First, it is a reference for your opponents so they have something to work off when writing a RP for a match against you. Second, it is a reference for match writers so that your character can have a unique style that is consistent from match to match.
- As time goes on, check your profile and update it as necessary. You might need to update the titles won, switch your status from heel to face or vice versa, change your entrance music, change your attire, or even change your pic base. Your opponents and match writers will check on the bio so keeping it up to date is a nice thing to do.
- The use of theme songs and/or character base pictures are on a first come-first served basis. Also, LXW has the right to hold and reserve songs and pictures for future uses. If you’d like to know whether a particular picture or song is reserved or already in use, please contact Management. Only pictures of real people or prior custom posers will be accepted as pic bases at this time. (XCW is in the works to be a Poser Picture Base Efed later In 2019!)
- No one will be allowed to use a character base picture and/or a theme song that is already in use without permission from Management. For more information concerning this rule, please contact Management.
- Although use of the same base picture is generally prohibited, you may use a picture of the same person, in a different look. For example, if you want to use the old, purple [and/or gray] gloved Undertaker as your character base picture, someone else can use the American Bad Ass [aka Biker Taker] look as their character base picture.
- Classic faces vs. heels approach, if we have too many faces or heels we may ask handlers to switch sides.
- Must be an original created character, by you!
- Introduce your character to the Owners ….. Once you complete your character's profile, let the LXW Management and other members know that there is a new character on the roster, probably best done by saying "Hello, I just made a new character named " in a post on the LXW Efed facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/luchaxtremewrestling. This will get on the list of people tagged for show sign ups.

GENERAL RULES

General Rules
Updated, January 20, 2019
These are general guidelines you need to know before joining the promotion.
1. Be Respectful of Others: There is no tolerance for racist, sexist, or intolerant messages/images/allusions in the Out of Character environment!No drama or anything offensive. Please don't cause any. If you have a problem with someone either let the staff know privately or talk to the person you have a problem with privately as well. No need to make it public either on social media or on the site. Also, please no offensive remarks or content towards people as they will be removed and lead to a possible ban. In simple words, Don't be a dick to anybody.
2. If you need to take a break or have upcoming plans in real life and can't be booked, make sure to post an LOA in the LOA board so we won't forget.
3. You CANNOT reuse old promos or others' promos.
4. All decisions are final! By submitting your application, you are giving members of LXW staff to write your character within the context of shows and other in character content. Staff will always make the final decision on who wins and loses each match. If you do not agree with a match result, please contact staff privately on the matter for a discussion or an explanation. It is okay to be upset about losing, but not okay to make such a feeling a public affair.
5. Three Strikes: No showing three (3) events without explanation will have you removed from LXW. Going on a hiatus is fine just let a LXW staff member know. If you no show, your character will be written off/used in any manner that we deem fit.
6. LXW is NOT a PG promotion, this community will most definitely include mature themes throughout; if this offends your sensibilities, please DO NOT APPLY.
7. RP activity is a must! We want to have promos cut in a timely manner so, it fills up the downtime between shows.
8. In the case of a previously fired or suspended competitor, while on leave all titles will be stripped and rewarded to a new champion or champions. Thus, a previously fired or suspended competitor will start fresh; at the bottom of the league.
9. If you want to quit, we won’t stop you. But can you have the common courtesy to let us know before hand and at least finish your booked obligations? Also, by let us know, I mean let me know privately. So we can write you off with class. We reserve the right to continue to use your character if you leave in what is seen as poor taste to finish any open angles or stories. We reserve the right to end your character's tenure in our fed any way we see fit if you are a docuhebag when you leave.

EVENT INFORMATION
FIGHT NIGHT/PAY-PER-VIEW INFORMATION
Updated, January 20, 2019
- There are FOUR (4) bi-weekly FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHT NIGHT events per cycle, followed by a PAY-PER-VIEW event to end the cycle.
- To confirm, all FIGHT NIGHT/PAY-PER-VIEW events are aired on Fridays (bi-weekly).
- All FIGHT NIGHT/PAY-PER-VIEW events will feature full matches and full segments.
- Cards for FIGHT NIGHT/PAY-PER-VIEW events are posted 48 hours after the results from the previous show are posted.
- Staff will post an “opt-in thread” for the next card, approximately 72-hours before the final deadline in the current cycle. If you WANT to be booked for the next card, you MUST opt-in by responding in the thread, telling us to book you. If you do not opt in, you will NOT be booked.
- For FIGHT NIGHT/PAY-PER-VIEW events, only one RP will be used when determining a winner. You still may RP as many times as you like, for there is no specific roleplay limit, but only your best roleplay, as determined by the Roleplaying Grading System, will be used for determining the winner of a match. or in some cases by storyline, if the need arises.
- MATC, I'd say around 90-95% of the time, will be determined by RPs. However, there may be times that the RPs are really close and we can't pick a winner because votes are tied. In this instance, we reserve the right to go with a finish that is used to advance a storyline(in other words, an angle-based outcome).
- The RP cycle for FIGHT NIGHT/PAY-PER-VIEW events is TEN (10) days total, running from 48 hours after the previous event results are posted, so most likely Sunday night when the card is posted until the Monday even after next.
- Handlers have THIRTY (30) minutes from posting their RP to make any edits or amendments to them. After that time, any editing is strictly prohibited. If a handler is caught editing their RP after the 30 minute window, that RP will be disqualified from the judging.
- If you do not RP for your match, please notified a staff member asap.
- Segments and strats for the FIGHT NIGHT and PPV events are DUE as the same RP dealine.

STRATS AND SEGMENTS
Strats And Segment Information
Updated, January 20, 2019
THE ART OF THE STRAT: Strats, or strategies, are small write-ups sent to the writer of a match by a competitor that describe specific spots the handler would like to see in their match. This can (and should) also include reactions to winning or losing, if they want to use a specific prop during a match that allows it, or even if they wish to not submit, or so on and so forth. If you have any match strats for whoever is writing your match (usually myself, unless noted otherwise in a match writing thread), please have them in as soon as possible. If sent after the match writer has completed the match, the choice to use them will be at the discretion of the writer. Also, send strats to me if you're not sure who to send it to. I'll make sure they get into the right hands if necessary.
SEGMENTS MAKE THE (WRESTLING) WORLD GO ROUND: In-show segments, typically interviews or anything happening backstage during the event, truly spice up match results and can help move a storyline forward or start a new feud. Taking the extra step will help you get noticed in BWF! Segments can be submitted until the show is posted, but the sooner you get them in, the easier for me to make sure they end up on the show. Any segments or strats submitted after final deadline may be excluded at my discretion. I am not responsible if you procrastinate in getting me a segment and the show is posted before you are able to get it to me.

ANGLES/STORYLINES
Angles/Storylines
Updated, January 20, 2019
1. You can feel free to come up with your own storylines and ideas, although the staff will attempt to come up with some of their own. If you do come up with an angle or story you'd like to run with, please drop the staff a PM or contact via IM or e-mail to let us know. This way you are not booked into angles you don't want to be part of.
2) Occasionally, matches are angled to progress the storylines. The Staff will discuss this with you ahead of time so you know. You may even come up with an angle that requires a match is angled. Once again, please confirm this with the staff if you are doing so.
3) If you want to do a segment to be included on the show, PM me by the RPing deadline and it should be included.
4) When you and your opponent decide you'd like to storyline the finish to your match, you must get it approved by me! PM me or contact me otherwise as soon as possible.

STRATEGY INFORMATION
Roleplaing
Updated, January 20, 2019
1a.) For both Friday Night Fight and Pay-Per-View events, only one RP will be used when determining a winner. You still may RP as many times as you like, for there is no specific roleplay limit, but only your best roleplay, as determined by the Roleplaying Grading System, will be used for determining the winner of a match. or in some cases by storyline, if the need arises.
1b.) In the case of tag team action, of all sorts, each member of the team will only need to post one roleplay. Winners will be determined by the team with the best overall team score.
*Exceptions to the tag team posting rules consist when a team writes as a unit- if that happens, the TEAM will have to write two roleplays, or take the consequence of what posting one rp in a tag match can constitute.
2) As previously mentioned, there are no specific roleplay limits. However, if you fail to roleplay, prepare to face the likelihood of being squashed. It may not happen, but the possibility is there.
Also, if you fail to roleplay for three (3) consecutive events, without giving Management the proper notice, then your account may be deleted when it comes to issuing roster cuts. Please make sure you roleplay or at least give Management proper notice.
3) If you chose to include another LXW Character into your roleplays, make sure you have permission from the handler(s)’s of the character(s). As for Non-Played Characters (NPC), such as LXW Staff, make sure you have permission of Management before you use or attack them in your roleplays. Failure to comply with this request may cause removal from LXW.
4) Length isn't a big issue. Do not expect to win just because you wrote more than your opponent. Needlessly padding your roleplay doesn't make it better. If you're to the point and can add some development, it will beat the roleplay that beats a dead horse with padding.
5) There will be absolutely no personal attacks in roleplays - this goes for race, family, or religion. You will be immediately withdrawn from the LXW and depending on the violation - banned from the boards and from social media. With all efed experience over the years I have seen this happen a lot in the past and it will not be tolerated.
6) No sexual roleplaying please. No detailed roleplays about it either.
7) Do not reference any real organizations or wrestlers in your rp's or segments.
8) Please don't complain if you lose. You're going to lose somewhere along the way. It happens to everybody. Use it as motivation for the next round. Mostly winners are determined by the Roleplaying Grading System, but in some cases they are determined by storylines, if the need arises. If all you're concerned with is compiling a massive win/loss record, rather than working with your opponents to create a good story, LXW probably isn't the place for you.
9) Introduce your character to the Owners ….. Once you complete your character's profile, let the LXW Management and other members know that there is a new character on the roster, probably best done by saying "Hello, I just made a new character named " in a post on the LXW Efed facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/luchaxtremewrestling. This will get on the list of people tagged for show sign ups.
10) We're going with the hybrid format but still a competitive rp base fed. Meaning, there will be times where someone will lose to progress storylines and feuds but still showcasing quality writers. So in short, to go by how much competitive we are still, it's 80% rp based while 20% storylined. If you lose, there's no need to throw a fit about it, it happens. Do what you can to improve next time and if necessary ask on how to improve.

JUDGING ROLEPLAYS
Judging Roleplays
Updated, January 20, 2019
-
Quite simply, single highest scoring RP wins. In the event that the highest scoring RP’s from opponents ties, it will fall to second or third highest scoring RP. In the unlikely event they also tie, the fight will end in a draw. The judging rubric for ALL EVENTS is as follows:
-
CONTENT (Scored out of 60 total)
-
Build (10): How much did you sell the fight? We don't necessarily mean "how much did you talk up your opponent?" because that's not what this is about. If we’re fans and don't know about either character, how well did you entice us into tuning in to see your fight? Was there intensity? Was there controversy? Did you tell us why this is a 'can't miss' encounter? Respect isn't a factor. We don't want to watch a fight against two people who like each other. We want to watch violence between two enemies.
-
Continuity (10): How does your piece encompass existing stories within the fed, including your own and your opponent’s?
-
Creativity (10): How creative where you with the piece? The more creative you are with your pieces, the higher you’ll score.
-
Entertainment (10): This is simple. If you kept our interest, you’ll score high. If you had us eating out the palm of your hand with every word, you’ll score high. This is totally subjective so we cannot elaborate any more than that.
-
Realism (10): How realistic is the piece? This is fairly relaxed given the nature of an 18+ fed, but did you commit a crime on camera? Are you defying the laws of physics? Etc. It needs to be believable.
-
Relevance (10): How relevant was the piece, overall, as it pertains to your match? Was it all a little random and self-indulgent? Or was it cleverly linked to the fight in question?
-
-
ARGUMENT (Scored out of 30 total)
-
Sell (10): We hate it when characters totally no sell their opponent’s gimmick or personality, whatever it may be. Just sell it. We’re not asking you to be nice or respectful or anything of the sorts, but at least acknowledge that if your opponent says they’re a pirate, then they’re a fucking pirate. Make us believe that this is real and that we’d be dumb to miss it.
-
Specifics (10): Avoiding the use of generic trash talk and tailoring the promo to your opponent based on the digging or research you’ve done on them. We want to see a little bit of effort in dissecting your opponent and evidence that you’ve done your homework, rather than just sit and waffle for 1,000 words.
-
Valid Points (10): We absolutely hate irrelevant trash talk like “you’re ugly, your mom is fat, you smell, your hair is lame,” etc. We want to hear your character’s argument for why they’re walking out the winner and not just because “you suck” nonsense.
-
-
GRAMMAR (Scored out of 20 total)
-
Flow & Structure (5): We grade subjectively on how well your piece flows as a result of proper form.
-
Punctuation (5): We deduct 0.2 for every incorrect use of punctuation that we catch.
-
Spelling (5): We deduct 0.2 for every spelling error that we catch.
-
Vocabulary (5): Use of the correct word or staying true to character’s vernacular, even if purposely flawed.
-
-
BONUS POINTS (Scored out of 25 total)
1. Did the writer submitted a SEGMENT for the current show/event? (5):
2. Did the writer submitted the BEST SEGMENT for the current show/event? (5): (if both opponents submit one)
3. Did the writer submitted a STRAT for there current match? (5):
4. Did the writer ROLEPLAYED EARLY before the deadline? (5): (posted 24 hours + before deadline)
5. Is the writer a CURRENT CHAMPION in LXW? (5):
-
PENALTY POINTS (These are points that could be deducted from your roleplay)
1. [SANDBAGGING] - Did the writer waited to submit there roleplay until the very last possible minute before the deadline? (-10):
2. [GRACE PERIOD] - You will get a (-10) point penalty after deadline has ended to produce a promo up to 48 hours. You will get a (-20) point penalty from 48 - 72 hours late. After 72 hours your roleplay will count as a (0) ZERO!
-
Staff and Non-Staff Scoring Volunteers are given a score sheet to use. The non-staff members who volunteer to assist in scoring roleplays submit the score sheet to the CHAIRMAN, DWO, or AWO. The immediate staff uses the score sheet to help them make a well rounded decision on who should win the match. Helpers DO NOT say "This person or That person should win". They simply hand in a score card for each role-play. They do not vote or have an actual say in who the immediate staff picks to win.
-
If you lose, you lose. It happens to everyone and you can be rest assured that you lost because you were fairly beaten (whether close or not) by your opponent. We have no favoritism here and are always fully transparent with scores and judging. Any cries of foul – be it public or otherwise – from handlers after defeat will be treated seriously. In certain cases, handlers can be removed from the fed.
-
After each event, handlers can request their scores from staff, allowing them to see how they fared, what they did well and what they need to improve upon moving forward.

STRATEGY INFORMATION
Championship & Point System Information
Updated, January 20, 2019
1. Championships are earned, not given. The outcome of championship matches will depend solely on role-plays.
2. A championship must be defended in order to continue holding it. If a title cannot be defended accordingly to its outlines, it will be stripped from the holder.
3. You may only hold one singles championship at a time. If holding a championship while winning another championship match, the lower tier belt would be vacated. You can hold a singles championship and half of the tag team championships at the same time.
4. The Contendership Points system is there as a tool to make sure that all characters get fair chances at Championship matches. But not all title matches will be won off of the points system alone. There will still be number one contenderships, battle royales, etc. Think of the CP System as a supplemental, In-Character system.
-
10 Points/Inactive - The LXW World/Universal Heavyweight Championship (Future First Tier Belt) must be defended at every Pay-Per-View and can be defended in the weeks between.
-
8 Points - The LXW Championship (Current active First Tier I Future Second Tier Belt) must be defended at every Pay-Per-View and can be defended in the weeks between.
-
6 Points - The LXW Xtreme Championship (Current active Second Tier I Future Third Tier Belt) must be defended at every Pay-Per-View and can be defended in the weeks between by hardcore rules only.
-
4 Points/Inactive - The LXW North American Championship (Future Third Tier Belt) must be defended at every Par-Per-View and can be defended in the weeks between.
-
3 Points - The LXW Tag Team Championships (Stand Alone Tier) must be defended when there is a challenger.
-
3 Points - The LXW Women's Championship (Stand Alone Tier) must be defended when there is a challenger.
-
2 Points - The LXW Television Championship (Stand Alone Tier) must be defended at every event.
NOTE: You may cash these points in at any time, any show, anywhere - but the cash in MUST be approved by CW Staff.
Here's the rundown on cashing them in:
- We prefer you cash them in to book a future match. If it's a World Championship match, we like to book those solely on the PPVs, but exceptions are willing to be made.
- You may cash them in to make yourself a part of an already existing championship match, IF Staff and all members of the existing championship match agree that it is okay for you to do so. If there is a disagreement, your points will be used to book a championship match at a later date.
- You may also perform a 'surprise cash in', where most of the Federation will be kept in the dark that you are challenging for the title during that show. The rules are the same as if you would make yourself a part of a championship match - you must get permission from the champion, any challengers, and Staff before doing this. The difference is, you, as well as the champion/contenders will be asked to Roleplay during that show WITHOUT mentioning the fact that you will be secretly cashing in, as to keep the surprise for the viewers of the show. Winners will be judged solely off of the Grading points. (Note: It's extremely difficult to win a championship in this way. Be forewarned.)
- LXW has the right to change and modify its rules or anything that's in this handbook at their discretion and without notice. However, if the rules or anything are to be modified, Management will usually send out notification of doing so. Still, with that said, please check up on the rules often to see if anything has changed.
- Lucha Xtreme Wrestling was created with the intention of having fun. Please refrain from applying to LXW if you have a habit of being a troublemaker. If you wish to argue In-Character, please, feel free to. But if you have issues with someone Out-of-Character, please keep them off the Social Media like Facebook and etc., and the Community Forums. If push comes to shove, and the handlers involved cannot handle their issues maturely, Management will try to mediate as best as possible.

- The fed does have a Twitter account (@theofficialeow) that we will use to promote the site, attract members and network with the community. If you are on Twitter and part of this fed, we expect you to conduct yourself appropriately. Any instances of antagonistic behavior that leads to OOC drama will be looked at and, if we feel it necessary, can result in your removal from the fed. We do not entertain handler conflict of any kind.
- While we’re on Twitter, we don’t monitor it heavily, so if you initiate storylines, feuds, alliances or anything else then we cannot guarantee that it’ll be seen. Because of that fact alone, we’ve created an in-house social media board (Chatter™ Media) that each roster member will have. It’s a personal thread for the character to post updates, photos – whatever they feel like, all IN character. Characters can reply to comments on their own threads and on other threads, engaging in back and forth chat as they would on Twitter. This just means that we will be guaranteed to see who’s interacting, who’s friendly, who’s clashing, etc.
- While there’s no public ranking information, staff do have an official ranking system that we use to determine who gets opportunities on each show. Characters accrue points over each cycle and at the end of the cycle, those who finished highest on our rankings will be rewarded with the main opportunities in the following cycle.
- For the benefit of total transparency, we award the following points for our ranking system:
-
Winning a match = 8 Points
-
Per Event Roleplay = 5 Points
-
Per Event Segment = 3 Points
-
Per Match Strat = 3 Points
-
Social Media (Facebook etc.) = 2 Points
-
Per Fan Access Answer = 1 Point
-
Per Vote in any Staff Poll = 1 Point
- In addition to the ranking system we use, we also consider general attitude when making our decision over who receives pushes and opportunities. Everyone will be given a chance regardless of “reputation” and you will only be judged based on your conduct on the boards here and on Facebook. However, if you’re negative or behave in a way that we deem instigative then you won’t get any pushes or opportunities. In fact, the chances are you’ll be removed from the fed. We want to encourage a positive, friendly atmosphere here and we can only achieve that with positive, friendly handlers. It doesn't matter if you're negative publicly or negative to one of us privately on a regular basis - we don't want it and if you do it, you're out.
We have a salary system in place for characters to earn money based on performances. These earnings can be used to purchase items in the LXW Store, which vary from advantages in fights to enhancing their attributes to make them a stronger performer in key areas.
The amounts for certain actions vary as follows:
Signing a Contract - $5,000
Winning or Retaining a Championship - $2,500
Winning Bonus - $1,000
Competing in a Match - $500
Posting a role-play for your match/before deadline - $300
Posting a role-play for your match/after deadline up to 48 hours - $150
Producing an Event Roleplay - $125
Producing a Event Segment - $100
Producing a Match Strat - $75
Per Fan Access™ answer - $50
Per Chatter™ Media Interaction - $10
We have a board called Fan Access™ that allows the Official LXW account to pitch anonymous questions to your characters. Staff handle the account and will submit these questions directly to your character’s individual Fan Access™ thread. You are required to answer these. Think of it as an in-house ‘Ask.fm’ account for your character. Questions will vary but will generally be used to enable staff to get a better understanding of your character, build matches, hype feuds and stir the pot IN character.
If you ever need time off, just drop either myself or an other staff member a line to let us know. If you don’t want to be part of LXW anymore or decide that it’s not for you, all we ask is that you let us know via private message. We understand that finding the right fed for you isn’t easy (we struggled finding the right place as handlers) and we don’t take it personally. The only way you’ll burn bridges with us is if you flake or leave without having the decency to let us know.
And finally, staff reserve the right to remove handlers at any time for breaches in any of the aforementioned rules. As much as handlers have a choice of where to roleplay, Omar Azure – as the fedhead – has a choice on who plays here. Choice goes both ways. Come in, get involved, be active, be positive and be friendly. Those are the behaviors of handlers we want to make part of the LX core.
