Rainbow Railroad RP Expectations

Brave Space

  • We are shifting the narrative of a safe space to that of a brave space to encourage individuals to move beyond their comfort zones by taking risks in expressing diverse perspectives which can sometimes mean being confronted by difficult issues. This shift focuses on giving individuals the ability to create their stories in a way that fosters growth, learning, and authenticity while also understanding that individuals in this shared space have a personal responsibility to take care of themselves. Brave Space is an important exercise in challenging one’s perspective and empowering one to undertake self-care practices and well-being into their own hands.

Respectful Representation: Anti-Racism

  • Roleplay provides a unique opportunity to create and explore different character experiences. However, it is important that the Rainbow Railroad Roleplay server emphasizes the importance of respectful and accurate portrayals of characters from different racial and/or ethnic backgrounds. The Rainbow Railroad RP server’s mission, vision, and guiding principles align with that of an anti-racism intersectional model. In understanding this, character portrayals of BIPOC by white identifying individuals will not be tolerated on this server.

Organic Roleplay

  • Our roleplay philosophy centers around organic narrative driven performance fostering an environment that encourages improvisation. What does this mean? We value and act on storylines that aren’t preplanned. Character choices are yours alone, and there are no strings being pulled behind the scenes! We believe that this creates a more freeing and less structured RP experience.
