General Rules
1: All users are to be treated with respect. This includes all members, staff, and guests alike. We're all here to have fun, so avoid bringing out of character drama onto the game. Seriously, don't do it.
2: Don't copy material posted by others. Don't copy/paste another individual's character from another site or copy/paste a character from some random anime you saw recently. Anime faceclaims are fine but the character itself must be original. Nobody likes to see a poorly disguised Goku/Trigun/Other clone.
3: Literacy: Make an effort to hold good spelling, grammar, and length. At least one paragraph is the minimum for an in character RP post.
If English isn't your first language it's understandable, just be sure to make a wholehearted attempt to have your post understandable. If in doubt, spell check can help make sure your spelling is acceptable.
4: The Rating of the site is PG- 13. However, there is no need for long strings of profanity, gore, or explicit sexual content.
5: All decisions of staff members are to be respected. Anyone that I promote to staff I trust to have good judgment. If you disagree with a staff ruling, PM me directly, but understand that any decision made will be final. Any public tantrums or drama due to a disagreement will result in strong consequences.
6: In-character threads are to have a date and time for when they are occurring. Since the game will be starting in early August, an example might be:
August 5th, 7:30 A.M

7: No Godmodding. Godmodding covers nearly anything where one tries to exert too much control over plot or characters. Nobody likes to deal with the character who seems to read your mind, anticipate your every action, and walks on water while making it look easy.
8: Be realistic. If you character is out in the country at 1:00 PM, it's going to be impossible for them to suddenly be at the high school fifteen minutes later unless an NPC shows up and teleports them for some reason.
9: At this time, users can have a maximum of three characters,one of which may be knights or senshi.* See rule 14
10. Each character must have a separate account.
11. Users are requested to be active should they take on a knight or senshi role. A minimum of five posts per week is requested for any in those positions. Any user whom goes inactive will have their position opened and once a new application is approved, your character will lose that senshi or knight position through some event in character. In most cases, the character will be kept alive and will become a civilian at which point they may apply to another open position, resume their previous position if vacant, or play as a civilian.
12. Keep Signatures reasonably sized. 500 x 200 is the maximum allowable at this time.
13. Rules may be modified or added at any time as the staff deems necessary.
14. Users may now take a second knight or senshi if they desire. However the user must have their first character well established and active with a fifty post minimum along with having no significant issues with posting activity. Both characters must adhere to the minimum limit of five posts per week each. If a user cannot keep up with their second knight or senshi position, and after discussion with the user to try to solve the activity issue by a staff member, they will be asked to focus on their primary character and the position reopened for application, with the other character losing their powers through an in-game means.
