- you are required to write two hundred words per post. this gives the person(s) that you are roleplaying with something to go off. if it's too short, you will be notified to change it. of course, everyone has their bad days so it's reasonable to be a bit under the word limit but do not make it a habit.

- no one is allowed to have the same faceclaim so please make sure you have claimed your faceclaim and that it's not already taken. not only does it make things easier but it keeps the site a bit more organized. speaking of looking nice, please avoid using faceclaims that aren't from an anime or manga if you can. it helps to keep a constant face but if you can find a person that's often seen and isn't in an anime or manga that's fine too.
- W o r d C e n s o r s h i p
- cursing is permitted. of course it's best not overdone. if you are caught excessively swearing you will be warned. if you do not improve in language than you will receive punishment. as a part of the community, be conscious of who you're around. some people may be more sensitive about things than others and can be set off.

- creativity is always allowed here. however, please don't allow your posts to become unreadable. it's one thing to be detailed and creative but it's another thing for something to become explicit. if you find that someone might find your post to be mature please warn the readers of that thread by adding a mature warning in the title of the thread or post.
e.g. - [M/Open] Lust is Not Love
- D i s c r i m i n a t i o n
-sexism and racism along with other forms of discrimination will not be tolerated. it's one thing to be joking but if you're a serious sexist, racist, etc. then you will be banned from the site. it, technically, is a joking matter but will not but overlooked.
- P o w e r P l a y / G o d M o d
- powerplaying and godmodding is not allowed. powerplay is when you basically make your character all powerful while godmodding is when you take control of another person's character or making your character better in every way, a god. even if it's just for a second, it's really not appreciated. please avoid doing so or a staff member will have to confront you. powerplay and godmodding is oft done when fighting or battling. you have to get hit sometime and cannot dodge everything. failure is a part of life. accept it.
e.g. - Before John had a chance to move, Jane had landed a perfect punch against his jaw which dazed John allowing Jane to strike in another hit. A hit so powerful that John blacked out. (Doesn't seem very fair for John huh?)
-M a r y S u e s / G a r y S t u e s
- no one is perfect. don't try to be. plain janes and joes are preferred more than someone who is perfect. if you're going to have a lot of positives, you must have a lot of negatives. it's only right to balance on one's personality traits. any character with potential of being a mary sue or gary stue will not be accepted.
-A p p r o v a l
- it's common sense. don't post before your character is accepted or your account will be deleted. if this action continues, you will be completely banned from the site. simple, right?
-A d m i n i s t r a t i o n
- relax. admins and staff members are people too. talk to us if you have a problem but do not argue. rather negotiate or debate calmly. all staff members are trying to make your experience here as enjoyable as possible. if you have a question, ask it.

-S p a m
- spam is sending pointless annoying messages. don't do it. 'nuff said.
-C h a r a c t e r s
- one character per account. this is also something that makes the site much more organized. there is not a limitation on how many characters you have as long as you can keep them all active. however, there are requirements! your most recent character must have at least ten posts before you create another character.
-C h a r a c t e r A p p s
- all applications should have the last name; first name in the title along with the species they are creating. If this is not done you will not be accepted.
e.g. - Harkuri; Melophane - Kurori
-C h a t b o x R u l e s
- first off, be courteous. no one on there wants to hear you cussing the minute you come online. be respectful and think about who might be on the site.
2. please limit IC chat. it is allowed but it tends to confuse people so please try and only do it if you have brackets around your words.
e.g. - Neme: [John: COME BACK HERE SUSAN!]
Neme: How are you today members? (easy no?)
3. if an admin tells you to stop something please do so. we do have the ability to ban you from the c-box. thank you.
