General Rules:
1. Flaming or harassing other members is grounds for temporary banning or permanent banning if the problem continues. We are trying to make a community here, not be cruel to others. Any bashing on people due to religious beliefs, race, sexuality, political views, or anything of that nature is not tolerated.
If you are the victim of a harassing attack in the chatbox then the best course of action is to copy the conversation and send it as a private message to one of the staff members. If it occurs in a PM then you can send the offending PM to your visitor messages so the staff can see it. From there, the staff will confer and decide how to proceed.
2. You can have at most four characters in the RP. Each character must be on a separate account, and when you make another account, you MUST inform the staff through messaging and/or posting in the "Introduce Yourself" topic in General Discussion. Failure to do so will result in the other accounts being banned. We can check IP addresses, so don't try to abuse the system.
3. Personal issues should be left on the other side of the login screen. If you are having a bad day, you can't take it out on somebody else just because you are annoyed. Also, constant repetition of whining about a real life problem becomes tedious quickly, do not do so.
4. Spam outside the Spam Forum and Wako Mundo is not allowed. Even in those areas, there are a few rules to follow. Just obey them and there will be no problems.
5. Any posts containing pornography, excess gore (as in a picture, written excess gore simply needs a warning), or examples of piracy will be deleted and are grounds for banning. Do NOT bring these into the forum.
6. Pestering staff about Approving something or checking a topic through PMs does not help. We get enough email as it is without having to deal with 20 from one person. A quick reminder in the chatbox is fine, anything besides that is aggravating beyond belief. We will get to everything when we can, we are not demigods... yet.
7. If, for whatever, a member leaves the site, the staff has the right to take over that member's account. The email and password will be changed and given to either another member or for the staff's usage. If at some point you decide to return, and see that you cannot access your account and posts have been made that aren't yours, you should make a new account or find another way to contact the staff so we can transfer ownership back to you.
8. Advertising belongs in the advertising section, that is what it is for. Don't post ads all over the forum.
Character Rules:
1. You cannot create your weapon/powers until your character has been approved, and you cannot fight until your weapon/powers have been approved. You can, however, post in the other sections of the forum before that.
2. There will be no Shinigami changing into Arrancar or any Arrancar turning into Shinigami. Also, the only way to become a Vizard is to meet with the Vizard maker. You can't just suddenly get "infected" and become one. And you can't do the Ichigo, was a plus and discovered my Zanpakuto at the last moment. It just makes things more confusing and I still don't think it even makes that much sense in the manga itself.
3. The only way to become an arrancar is to be changed into one by the Primera Espada. Just having a cero hit your mask does not change you into an Arrancar. More likely to blow your face off then power you up.
3. Permanent Shikais are also not allowed as it requires specific circumstances for the phenomenon to occur. It also doesn't matter that much since there is no duration for shikai and bankai anyway. No one can fuse with their Zanpakuto, no exceptions.
4. Full hollow form for Vizard, Final Form for Quincies, Bount-Doll fusions, and Second Resurreccions for Arrancar do not exist in this RP. Don't ask about them because the answer is no.
5. The names of kido must be said out loud to use them at half power. No Kido can be used without saying their name. This is regardless of who you are.
Guidelines for Leaders:
1. If you are a member of one of the top 5 races (Captain, Espada, Elite Vizard, Quincy Council, and Superhuman Overseer) or Elder Ones, YOU NEED TO BE ACTIVE! I cannot stress this enough. There will be random activity checks and if you miss them, you are out of a spot.
2. The leader of each race may be given extra plot information. As such they have a lot of power in deciding how their race will respond to various events. Due to this, all race leaders must be extremely active. If a race leader knows they will not be able to make the commitment temporarily, then they are allowed to elect someone to take control of the race until their return.
3. The leaders of the race are naturally going to be more powerful than other members. This is should be expected when fighting them that they are going to be very difficult to fight one on one with. However before people say that is unfair, just remember that there are many ways to fight besides straightforward one on one brawls.
4. Equal and sometimes above even the regular race leaders are the Elder Races. Members of these races are automatically very powerful. To compensate there are a lot fewer of them and it is much more difficult to gain usage of one. It is required that you gain the permission of the staff for usage of an Elder Race after you have roleplayed on the site for a period of time and we are sure that it will not be abused.
5. There are limitations on the number of characters a single member can have. Users can have a total of four characters with 2 being from the top five races, one non-elite character, and one Elder character. However, the two members of the top 5 races cannot be from the same race. So while you could have a Captain and an Espada, you cannot have 2 Espada.
Roleplay Rules:
1. While in the RP, you must make long posts. A paragraph at least is necessary whenever you post. This can include any actions, thoughts, or reactions. Try to be as in character as possible.
2. Be reasonable about all of the things you do in one post. Your character can't do 50 different things while others stand around doing nothing.
3. You can only roleplay in one topic at a time UNLESS, you make a note of the beginning of the post that the topic is occurring in the past before the current main roleplay topic.
4. You must post in third person point of view. ASTERISKS ARE NOT ALLOWED. I cannot stress this enough.
5. Any deaths need to be approved by the staff to make sure that godmoding was not involved and that it was a "legal" death. You cannot just say you "appeared out of nowhere and stabbed the Arrancar in the skull killing him instantly."
6. You cannot control another character's actions or reactions unless they have been gone from the site for three days. This only extends to passive things such as bringing a person with you in a group. If you are being attacked and do not react for five days, the attack will hit for full damage.
However, before the other person responds with a post stating that you have been attacked, they must try to contact the other person via the chatbox or PMs to make sure they haven't just made a mistake. It happens sometimes that the site doesn't register that a new post has been made.
