These are the rules. Please follow them. I am sorry if they are annoying, but that is just how things are.
Role Playing Rules
1. No godmodding or powerplaying. This is a terribly annoying thing and very unacceptable. For those of you who do not know what godmodding or powerplaying is, it is simply being invincible as well as controling someone else's chatacter. If you need a better explanation, feel free to contact me and I will try to explain it more.
2. No Mary Sues or whatever the male versions are called. I know that for some people it may be hard not to make them, but please don't. For those of you who don't know what a Mary Sue is, it is a fictional character(usually a super-great version of the creator) who seems to be flawless, extremely beautiful/handsome, and wants to be the main character in every plot. If you need further explanation, ask me or you could probably find a good definition on Wikipedia.
3. You may RP characters from different animes or mangas on this site as well as video games(ex. Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts). However, make sure no one else is RPing that character on the site. A list of taken characters from various animes/mangas/video games will be listed(You can still create original characters though).
4. There is no limit on how many characters you may have. However, please keep them all active. If you wish to no longer RP a certain character(original or not), you can put them up for adoption.
5. Any type of race is allowed. Magic is also allowed. This is a very free-based and there is no specific plotline. RPers are very welcome to make their own little plots.
6. Romance is allowed! Dating, kissing, and hugging are all welcomed. I will not allow public RP sex though, in case some people are uncomfortable with that. However, if you really wish to do a sexual RP you may do it through PM's or you may ask an admin to make a passworded board for it.
7. I am allowing yaoi and yuri on this board. So guy and guy romance is allowed along with girl and girl romance. Still, straight couples are very welcome too!
8. No killing other characters! Unless you have permission from the creator of that character and the permission of the admin, do not kill someone else's character. Fighting in the RP is allowed though.
9. Please try to be literate! I know no one is perfect and I will not enforce spellcheck. However, try to make good, readable post. Put effort into it! I am asking for five sentences minimum! It is understandable if you have writer's block though.
10. If you are RPing with two or more people, RP in a certain order. This way no one will get too far behind in an RP. So if Jerry, Mary, and Larry are RPing together, Mary goes, then Jerry, then Larry. So it would be Mary, Jerry, Larry, Mary, Jerry, Larry. However, everyone must be active to make this work. If you are in the middle of this type of RP and someone becomes unactive, PM an admin and we'll talk about it.
Out of Character Rules
1. No fighting! Do not fight with any other members. If there is a problem, please just contact an admin.
2. Please respect the decisions of the admins. If an admin asks you to change something about your profile or how you post, please understan that we are only trying to help.
3. NO RACISM. Do not bash people because of their races, ethnicities, religion, etc. This is a BIG no no! Punishment for this will be severe.
4. Have fun! Seriosusly, why join a board if you're not going to have fun?
Currently, those are all of the rules for now though they may change as time progresses.
