WEBSITE RULES
General Forum Rules
These rules are general guidelines which apply to the entirety of the forum. They must be followed at all times.
Flaming/Rudeness/Disrespect: Flaming is insulting or slandering another rper or even an ideal. It is basically being a jerk. Don't be a jerk. If you run around causing problems and fights with people you'll get a warning, but a repeat offense will land you a ban.
Language Quality: Please type properly; while in the chat you can relax. But when you're posting a character or in a thread, your work needs to at least be legible. If someone can't understand your post and asks you to edit it, then run it through a few spell/grammar checks before posting again and perhaps ask for help with your writing from fellow rpers.
Pornographic Content: [/b]Due to the forum-motion terms of service, we must ask you to not post pornographic images or videos anywhere on the site. 18+ scenarios are allowed in rp, but only if posted in spoilers with a mature content warning.
Spam: Spamming is the act of repeating posts over and over again OR posting something useless and completely off topic in a thread. If you post spam it will be deleted and you'll get a warning. Repeat offenses will lead to a ban. This rule applies both on the forum and in the chat. Although bans for each will be done separately.
Advertisement: We have an [Only admins are allowed to see this link] so use it. The rules about our advertising section can be found within. But don't advertise sites anywhere else. Links to other forums are strictly forbidden. Even through pms. If you're caught doing illegal advertisement, the nature of the crime will determine your punishment. If it seems like you were advertising with the intent to steal members you could be banned on the spot. But in most cases you'll get off with a warning.
Avatars: No pornographic avatars or images that advertise other forums.
Signatures: No pornographic or advertisement material for other forums in your sig please. Also keep the size low enough that it doesn't stretch the page.
Extra Accounts: You don't have to make an extra account for each character, although you may if you want. But we beg you not to because it makes things really confusing and it's really hard to keep track of all your private messages and threads when you have 4 different accounts. So please try to stick with just the one account.
Account name: The name of your account MUST be the name of your character; it may be whichever character you choose, so long as it is approved.(To claim the name of an NPC you must have used that NPC in at least 5 threads and established yourself as one of its main users.)Character Forum Rules
These rules are general guidelines which apply to the creation sections of the forum, as well as to the possession and usage of characters on the site.
Limit of Characters: You are allowed 2 characters when you first arrive on the forum. If you are active with those characters after a month, you may make another. Stay active with all three for another month and you can make another character. You can repeat that pattern and have as many characters as you can manage to keep active.
Race Limits: You are not allowed to have more than two characters of the same race. Arrancar and Hollows are considered a different "race" as are shinigami and visoreds.
Death: All character death is generally disabled by default. No matter how badly you get stomped you wont have to worry about dying unless you are in a plot event that has been labeled "DEATH ENABLED" or a thread that you have agreed to make death enabled before hand by using an RP Request Template.
Mature Content Warning: This RPG is mostly rated PG-13+, with the exception of some instances of sexual content which are 18+ and Adult+. If your profile has ANY sexual content or nudity on it at all, it must be contained in marked spoiler boxes with warnings, stating "Warning: Sexual content unsuitable for minors is in the box below. If you are under the age of 18, please do not open the box, and exit the page immediately." In addition, any written sex in your profile must also be enclosed in spoilers marked with the same warning listed above.
Tier Limitations: Currently the highest tier you can start out at is 2-3. This is considered equal to the power of a new captain still inexperienced in the use of their bankai. The 1-? tier is also off limits, but that is more so because no one has trained enough to reach that level of power. But the highest tier 1-1 is reserved for bosses and plot events as they are simply too strong to maintain their power.
Banned Races: Hybrids of any sort are banned, along with Togabito/Sinners/Demons.
Race Limitations: Currently the only race with limitations are visoreds. Because they start out with the greatest raw power, it is unfair to other players. You might think that means we've made it super hard to become a visored right? Wrong! Anyone can start out as a visored! BUT you will have to start out with your inner hollow in a dormant state. This means no control over your hollow mask, even if you managed some in your history. As you control this character, Staff will be watching. Once you've been actively rping for a while, a staff member will approach you with an inner hollow awakening prompt. This prompt could appear at any moment and will usually be in the middle of a life and death situation. Once you've received this prompt, you may awaken your hollow and begin training for mask control.
Roleplaying with Work-In-Progress/Unapproved Applications: A character can be played as long as their unapproved app is up with basic information filled out. They will be tier 5-3 and will not be permitted to join any organization or use abilities and techniques outside of their default race ones (shunpo, etc.). This allows people to still join in social roleplay threads, events, and just overall get a feel for their characters before finishing the app. However, they must finish their app within a month, as staff already enforce by bumping or moving their app threads. At that time, they may no longer roleplay until the app is graded and approved.Role-playing Forum Rules
Godmodding: This includes all types of godmoding. You can't control another player characters actions without permission. More on the different types of godmodding below.
Meta-gaming: This is when you act in-character based on information you only have out of character. I, the rper, might know from your post that you have a stealthy minion sneaking up behind me. But I as the rper, can't react to that unless my character is somehow able to notice it.
Auto-Hits: This is when you make an attack and say you hit your opponent. BAD! Never do that, even if you are 100 tiers above your opponent. Always use words so you are "attempting" to injure your foes. If they are hit then they type out the damage.
Auto-Dodging: This is the flipside of auto-hits. You shouldn't be able to dodge every single attack or take every hit unscathed. All this will accomplish is upsetting your fellow rpers and make it so nobody ever wants to rp with you again. That's no fun. Don't do it.
Counters: Sometimes mistaken for godmoding, countering is actually a basic method of fighting based on doing something in-character which renders your opponents in-character action impossible or more likely to change. An example would be, I throw a punch and then follow up with a kick in my post. But at the start of your post you cast a kidou barrier. My punch would be countered, rendering my follow up kick pointless. So during my next post, I would start from my punch being blocked, and change my course of action so I never kick in the first place. Counters can be annoying as they might render more than half of your post pointless. But you could always counter back. The catch is that you must find opening and weak points in your opponents posts.
Mature Content Warning: This RPG is mostly rated PG-13+, with the exception of some instances of sexual content which are 18+ and Adult+. Any and ALL threads containing sexual content must be marked with the tags (A+) and (18+) together. In addition, any written sex between characters inside of these 'Mature' threads must be kept closed in spoiler boxes, with a warning above them saying "Warning: There is sexual content unsuitable for minors in the box below. If you are under the age of 18, do not view this content. Exit the page immediately". Violence and blood however is allowed normally without warnings, but if it becomes very graphic or excessive, please include a warning as well.Game Rules
