These are going to be rules that cannot be broken, unless otherwise stated. Now, these are ground rules. They may be added to at any one time. I guess that's all I have to say about that. No If ands, Buts, or Lollerskates about it.
General
1. The Administrators have the abilities to add to these rules or delete/modify them.
2. Do not argue with us, we are Gods here. Be nice.
3. You are expected to follow all guidelines and suggestions given by the Administrators.
4. Always ask permission. If you're not sure if something will be allowed, then ask. Do not do something rash without permission.
5. You will be given three warnings if a rule is broken. After the third warning you will be petitioned for explusion unless you can give a reasonable excuse or promise to do better.
Application
6. This is a comic based site. Thus, players are NOT allowed to have celebrities or "real life" people, anime or manga characters portray their characters. Doing so will invoke the wrath of the administrators.
7. There is a 3 character limit. TWO may be Original but you can NOT have all 3 be Original.
8. DO NOT copy from sources when creating a bio. NOT only is it showing the admins as well as other players that you know NOTHING of your character, you are not showing that you are not committed to this rp. You may use information from other sites, but re-word or summarize what you read.
9. You have 42 hours to finish you application after it has been looked at by your administrator! We don't want idle characters flopping around when others could be interested in playing such a character. Thus, if you have exceeded your time limit after our first comments on the application, your character will be open for anyone else to claim them.
You may reclaim your application if you PM the Administrators and tell them the reason why you're taking bloody forever to finish your biography. And depending on the reason, we'll either allow you to finish or say sorry, too late.
10. We expect each applicant to do their best on their application. Everything must be readable AND understandable. Slang language/Chat language is not allowed and will not be tolerated! We may be lenient at first, but if it continues....the admins will issue warnings. You're allowed two warnings before being petitioned for expulsion.
Role Playing
11. ALL POSTS WILL BE 5 OR MORE SENTENCES! If you cannot think of something your character will say, describe the environment, what they are thinking, what they are wearing. ADD DETAIL PEOPLE!
12. Slang language and/or "chat language" will not be tolerated in a post UNLESS it is the character's or Non-Playable character's "dialogue" (that is when they are speaking).
13. No god moding!!!! If your character happens to have a lot of power for some reason, explain it. They may be really old and have trained for that long. So be it. But if they're going to be THAT strong, give them a drawback that may make them think twice about using this power. And make it a good one.
14. Is part of no God modding, but something I neglected to add * a long time ago* was dont AUTO people. Auto = auto hit for those who dont know. Fighting is healthy, it's ok to battle someone on the board but do it right. Know the limits of what you can and cant do with someone's character.
15. This goes without saying but you should really never say for example. "Iron Man punched Wasp in the face and made her cry like a little baby." It's god modish, but if know, via talking to her my limits. Then we can set boundaries. For instance, maybe Captain America can bash my character with his shield all he wants, so long as i have control over what happens after he wails on my character, Maybe i want a heavy shield throw to send me flying back BUT i'm merely sliding back and not flying out of control like a weakling.
Simple as that, know your boundaries before you auto. But DONT auto unless you have permission.
16. You can only control your character and/or Non-Playable characters. Do NOT control other player's characters. By doing so, you will be issued a warning. After two warnings you'll be placed up for expulsion.
17. No killing people's characters. I don't give a nuts if you're a bad guy. No one will be killed by another character unless they have the permission of the person in charge of the character. That's part of god-moding, you know. This rule actually ties into several rules, which is why it exists. It would be considered character control and god moding to kill someone's character on the spot, after all.
Out of Character
18. Everyone wants the story to go their way. Well how does it feel to want? Discuss things with other members and we'll see how things work out.
19. No fighting or undermining me or other members, mods or characters in or out of context. OOC fights will not be permitted past a certain point. If you want to post an OOC to clear something up, ok. But if you constantly fight OOC and clog the RPG up OR THE CHATBOX, you're going to regret it.
20. There will be no spamming of the board/C-Box tolerated. Doing so will give the Administrators reason to ban your IP address and/or you from the site without consultation.
21. Advertising MUST be placed in the advertising board. Any ads in the advertising board will be deleted without notice.
