1. Rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks, or flaming attacks to any member are prohibited. Characters may use moderate language towards another character, however no complaining if that character takes offense.
2. Multiple, repeated postings are not allowed. This includes in and out of character. No one likes spam.
3. Do not post in character until your character has been approved (see below). You can, however, post in the Out of Character areas.
3. If you are having an issue with another forum member, please take your concerns to a moderator, Council Member, or Administrator. If you are having trouble with a person in charge, you are safe to bring the issue to another forum moderator. We take these issues seriously, and your concerns can be addressed anonymously.
4. The Concerns and Suggestions boards are for legitimate issues, and not a place to air out grievances against other members. If you continue to post in that manner, you will be suspended.
5. You are free to advertise another site in the Advertisements board. However, do not post an ad in any other area, including the shoutbox. If someone asks about your site, please continue the conversation via private message.
6. Trolling is a very good way to be suspended, and possibly banned.
7. Above all, try to be respectful of your fellow members, and have fun!
1. Your username must be the name of your character. In addition, each character must have their own account.
2. Child characters will be met with extreme scrutiny.
3. Crossover characters are allowed but will be met with extreme scrutiny. They may be disapproved if there is evidence of plagiarism, or they do not fit the forum.
4. No user may post on another person's character sheet with the exception of staff members. All advice that a player wants to give must be done via private message or in the chatbox.
5. Plagiarism is not tolerated in any form. If you are found to have copied parts of your sheet without permission or credits, you will be banned.
6. Three votes from Council Members and/or the Admin are needed to approve or disapprove a sheet.
1. All characters must act in accordance with the original sheet that was approved. This in no way prohibits growth as a character, but this should happen logically according to your character's personality.
2. There can be NO GODMODDING of any sort performed by any character, nor can a character be created with any sort of unbreakable weapon or inescapable ability. This can include but is not limited to: Describing another character's actions, thoughts, feelings, or emotions, or performing actions that are outside of your character's range of abilities.
3. Metagaming is not allowed. This can include, but is not limited to: Having your character aware of information they would not logically or could not possibly know, making your character dodge attacks by "coincidence" to the point of absurdity, stumbling upon information or the perfect solution to a problem through sheer luck, etc.
4. Any member who has not posted in an active thread within 48 hours without notifying a staff member or posting in the Members section may be controlled or killed by any other member of that thread.
5. Post logically. Your character must be played in the way you have described them in their character sheet. Characters cannot, for example, instantly learn a new ability or gain a new skill without any warning or preparation beforehand.
6. Romantic activities are allowed to an extent. Do not post pornography within any topic. Such actions will result in deletion of the posts, and repeated offenses will result in a permanent ban from the forum.
7. Post headers must be clearly identified as either an Open, Closed, or Solo post. Open posts are free for any characters to enter, Closed posts only allow the author and those they invite to enter, and Solo posts are for a player's personal story without interaction with other players. Mission posts will also be marked and will act the same as a Closed post.
8. Any player who wishes to use another player's character(s) in any canon material must receive documented permission. This can include any stipulations on usage the player wishes to impose.
9. Your posts must always be written in third person past tense and should include actions, thoughts and speech of your character which are easily recognizable.
10. In order to avoid events becoming confused in regard to their placement in time, as well as to allow individual players to be in more than one thread at a time, we request that all threads begin with a timestamp. Please note that these times must make sense in regard to the general time period that the site is set in ("modern day").
1. Advanced Humans are allowed powers and abilities unique to their specific character, different to any of the other races.
2. When creating an ability, think logically and be realistic. Explanation is key to having your skill approved.
3. If you wish for your character's ability to "level up" with experience, include the various levels of your ability in your sheet, as well as the specifics on how you will move up the ranks.
1. Any character of any race can kill or be killed.
2. If a character is killed, the owner must report this death to the staff.
3. If a player would like to dispute a kill, talk to a staff member before responding in the topic. If you accept the kill in your post, you forfeit the right to dispute it.
4. New members are allowed one month of protection for their first character. Starting the day of approval, their character cannot be killed by any means unless they wish it to happen. However, they cannot fight other players without their consent, lest they forfeit their protection.
1. All humans are potentially capable of using magic with the proper training. The undead and supernatural are not capable of this.
2. Some humans have a natural disposition towards magic.
3. There are three categories of magic: Space, Divination, and Aether.
4. Rituals, a form of magic, are divided into two categories: Faeth and Naether. The undead and the supernatural are capable of using this form of magic.
5. Alchemy is not considered magic, though it does function using basic magical principles.
6. Creating contracts to enhance a character's magic is possible but will come at a cost.
