Basic Rules
Respect
Please respect one another. If you have a problem with another member, do not bring it up in the chat box! For gods sake that's what pm's are for! I know it happens sometimes but I will exercise my right to ban you if I have to! I really hate fighting. So none of that. Also, no racist, sexist, religious, sexual orientation, or other discriminatory comments. Short jokes are okay though.
Possessiveness/Cliques
Don't get possessive of other members or characters. This rule applies to adoptables, and canons if they ever become a thing. Do not apply for every single character. This is also another base rule for basically every RP site, but still it happens, even here. Don't start getting possessive of anyone. No one character or member is contractually bound to thread with you and only you. Sharing is caring, and I'm hoping to god that you all care.
It does seem that we can be pretty cliquey around here. We don't mean it, and we are very friendly individuals, it's just that the majority of us have been playing together since this site's predecessor and it's been literal years. It is hard to break away from rping with the same group of people that know as much about the universe as you do, but I promise that we will all branch out and RP with new members and other people. Just know that clique-like behavior is frowned upon, but it does happen. Please just try and be all inclusive, and point it out to us if there are cliques forming here.
Site Rating
This site is rated Accordingly. Try to keep it around Proboards TOS Standards. Usually around PG(13) levels.
Things you may read in posts here: Moderate violence; Mention of nudity, drugs, weapons, sex, alcohol, swearing;
For anything more than that, please take it to Skype, Discord or Email. Believe it or not, but the TOS Mods can in fact read your pm's to one another.
Character Limits
You are allowed as many characters as you can handle. However, they are one per account, like most sites are now. If your characters become too much for you to handle, you can move them to the adoptions or inactive/retired section. If you put a character up for trade, you are accepting to delete the account related to that character, as soon as an applicant is approved for that character, so that they may use that character. We also have the option for NPC characters, which all have their own accounts and their own bio. These are characters that you can claim if they come up actively in your threads, but aren't musey enough or important enough to be actual characters. There is no limit on NPCs either.
Character Bios
You are REQUIRED to use the bio that is PROVIDED! I reserve the right to reject any application, and I will, however, if your character is denied you will be told why and be given a time limit to fix the mistakes. If you are still not approved, message the admins, and we can work something out. Most of the time, I am more than happy to work with people about their ideas. All you need to do is ask. I don't bite. And I would rather you ask about questionable things, than reject an application.
Also, you cannot start roleplaying until your character is accepted. If you have other characters, fine. Log out and go play as them. Anime/video game pictures are accepted. No real life fcs please. Ruins the aesthetic. You can draw your people too if you want to. Just make sure hand drawn, or electronically drawn characters have the proper sized graphics. If you need something edited to the proper size, admin;tsunami is more than willing to help out.
Who's Who, Face Claims, and Loyalty Directory must be placed before, or immediately after your bio is accepted. But you do not need to wait for an admin to update the claims before you start rping. As soon as your bio is accepted and your claims are posted, you can do whatever you like. Admins will update the lists periodically.
Be Creative
Alas, there is no real word count. But I would like at least one VERY DECENT sized paragraph. Got it? Usually it's acceptable at around 100 words. A paragraph here is 4-8 sentences, but I would really like to see more than that from you. There is no word limit either. Meaning that you can make a post that's 200 words or a post that 2000 words. Just remember, quality over quantity.
Time Era/Setting
This is a fantasy based rp in a made up world. The era itself varies somewhere between usual fantasy settings and modern day times. There might be technology, but don't expect it to be the kind that humans have, like laptop and cell phones are out. But there are still ways to communicate.
Godmodding/Powerplaying
No Powerplaying or godmodding without permission from your partner. You will be given a warning the first time or two but after that the punishment will get as severe as being banned. So watch it. Also, your character may not automatically know everything about another character just because you, the player, has read over that character's bio. Fights are allowed and they will happen. Your Character is allowed 3 dodges before they have to take a hit. Just so ya know. You also cannot control the other person's character, unless they agree to it. If they want to dodge an attack that you said hit, they can dodge it. That's that. They also cannot die unless their player decides to let them die. Also, try and keep your characters powers accurate to the level that they have. If you have questions about this, contact an admin.
To go along with this, please be aware that the admins have a few really overpowered characters that are like that for plot reasons. Do not go up against these characters and expect things to go well for you, as these rules do apply, but at the same time they are very bent. Please be aware that these few characters do have the ability to fuck your shit up. If you do not want that, do not challenge them. That's really it. Just avoid them and you'll be fine. But if I hear any whining from anyone about these characters, that's just too bad.
Account Activation
Please make sure that at least one of your accounts is registered to an active email. This is to ensure that if we need to contact you, mostly for activity checks, that you will receive the information and not be left out.
Activity Checks
These handy little things let the admins know who is still coming on the site. We may, or may not, send out an email telling you there will be an activity check. You will know there is one if you come online. If you do not respond to the activity check, you will be deleted. That's final. We will however save everything to the archives. So don't worry about it if you want to join back, we have everything, just the way you left it.
Activity in General
Please try and be active on the site. One or more posts a week is acceptable. admin;tsunami is absolutely horrible at following this rule, so please feel free to poke people on discord if you've been waiting more than a week for a response. Also, be active in discord. Keep us updated on your activity and whether or not you'll be around.
Ask Questions
I'm being totally serious here. I have been known to be really picky about things from time to time. But I am also always open to ideas and don't usually limit my members creativity. Because this is an original plot, built from my creative mind, I want you to ask questions about things you don't understand. If you questions about the rules, about the races, about the characters themselves, anything. PLEASE ASK!
If you don't ask and I go to review your bio and you are completely ignoring my requirements, I will not be nice about rejecting you. I have the right to be upset at people breaking the rules, when I am more than willing to work with you. So please. Ask.
Disclaimer
All rules, lists, plots, guides, are subject to change at any given time. The admins change things quite often, as ideas for things come and go. If changes have been made to something important, and announcement will be posted. And yes, if something has changed, you are required to read it.
