Core principles

• Roleplay is the priority at all times. All players must stay in character in the city unless an admin situation requires otherwise.
• Respect all players and staff. Harassment, discrimination, or toxic behaviour will not be tolerated.
• No random deathmatch (RDM) — killing without roleplay reason is a bannable offence.
• No vehicle deathmatch (VDM) — using vehicles as weapons without roleplay context is prohibited.
• No metagaming — do not use information your character would not reasonably know.
• No powergaming — do not force outcomes on other players or use exploits to gain an advantage.

Communication

• All voice chat in-city must be in character. Use out-of-character (OOC) channels only when necessary.
• Discord is the out-of-character platform for reporting issues, staff contact, and community discussion.

Requirements before applying

• You must be verified in the Discord server.
• You must have read the server rules in full.
• You must be 16 or older to apply.

What the application asks

• Full name — your real first name and last initial.
• Discord username — used to link your application to your account.
• Age range — 16–17, 18–20, 21–25, or 26+.
• Roleplay experience — beginner, intermediate, experienced, or veteran.
• Character concept — describe the character you plan to play and how they fit into the city.
• Why you want to join — explain what draws you to Capital Roleplay specifically.

Tips for a strong application

• Be specific about your character — a vague concept is harder to approve.
• Show you understand the difference between serious and casual roleplay.
• Mention specific things about Capital Roleplay that appeal to you — not just generic roleplay comments.
• Proofread before submitting. Grammar and effort reflect your seriousness as a player.

Essential first commands

Legal weapons

Legal firearms can be purchased from the licensed gun shop in-city. To purchase a legal weapon you must:

• Have a valid firearms licence (obtained through the licensing office)
• Pass the background check process (handled in-roleplay)
• Not be under an active criminal restriction

Illegal weapons

Illegal weapons are obtained through criminal roleplay channels. These weapons are not licensed and carry significant legal risk in-character. Possession of an illegal firearm by a civilian character without criminal faction backing is not recommended.

Storing weapons

• Weapons can be stored in your personal inventory, your vehicle boot, or your house storage.
• Weapons in the boot are accessible when near your vehicle. Press G to open the vehicle storage interface.
• You cannot carry all weapons at once — weight limits apply to the personal inventory.

Weapon ammo

Ammo is purchased separately from the gun shop or obtained through criminal channels. Ammo is stored per weapon type in your inventory. Running out of ammo mid-situation is a genuine risk — manage it accordingly.

Purchasing a vehicle

• Go to the vehicle dealership (marked on your map).
• Browse available vehicles and test drive before purchasing.
• Once purchased, the vehicle is registered to your character and stored in your personal garage.

Using the garage

• Drive to any garage blip on the map and press E to open the garage menu.
• Select a stored vehicle to bring it out. You will spawn inside or beside the vehicle.
• To store your vehicle, drive to a garage and press E — select "Store Vehicle".
• Vehicles left on the street overnight may be impounded by police or automatically despawned.

Impound

• If your vehicle is impounded, go to the impound lot (marked on the map).
• Pay the impound fee to retrieve your vehicle. Fees vary based on the reason for impound.
• Vehicles with outstanding fines may require those to be paid before retrieval.

Vehicle customisation

• Visit a mechanic shop or mod garage to customise your vehicle.
• Available modifications include: colour, wheels, engine upgrades, suspension, and body kits.
• Capital Roleplay uses custom vehicle packs — not all real-world modifications are available.

Finding a property

• Available properties are marked on the map with a house icon.
• Walk up to a property and press E to view details and pricing.
• Properties range from starter apartments to large detached houses.

Purchasing and renting

• Some properties are available to rent (weekly in-game fee) or buy outright.
• Rent is automatically deducted from your bank account at the start of each in-game week.
• If rent is unpaid, you will be locked out of the property after a grace period.

Using your property

• Press E at your front door to enter. You can lock/unlock the door from the interaction menu.
• Access your house stash from inside to store items, weapons, and money.
• You can set your house as your spawn point from the character menu.
• Invite other players in via the interaction menu — uninvited players cannot enter a locked property.
