[/b][/size]`The Rules!!!
"No rebelling"[/center]
Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking. More rules? Really? Well yeah, but don't worry, there isn't some secret code word you have to find in order to do the app, but skip these rules at your own risk because you only get two warnings before getting suspended!
`Main Guidelines!!!
[/i][/color][/size]"What you should know"[/center]
1.) I'm only going to say this once! The site rating is PG-13 as per Proboards TOS. If you don't like this then go find some other site willing to break their rules. Cursing, in moderation, is allowed, but there are to be no sex or otherwise mature threads allowed on this board.
2.) This one is a real biggie. Respect everyone. This includes your staff, your fellow members, and guests. You respect us and we respect you, its how the world turns.
3.) Don't leave people out. If you see someone new in the cbox then welcome them or if you see that there's a thread no one has responded to on one of the boards then respond to them.
4.) No stealing or plagiarizing. If you're using artwork from Deviantart or anywhere else then make sure you have their permission and that you credit them. When it comes to your applications, don't plagiarize them. If evidence comes to me that you copied another persons application and you can't defend yourself its an automatic ban.
5.) Activity is what keeps the site running! Be as active as you can be and if you know that you're going to be gone for a few days then please let us know so that we don't think you just ditched us, kay?
6.) When you register you don't have to use your character's name, though it is preferred. DO NOT post anywhere except for the application board and the cbox until you have been accepted. Upon your acceptance you can then change your display name to your characters name and post in the claims.
`The Characters!!!
[/b][/size]"We'd be lost without 'em"[/center]
1.) Only one character per account. I know many don't like this, but I find it to be much more organized when there's only one character/
2.) Currently there is no limit to how many characters you can have, but please be smart about it. Don't do more than you can handle and if some of your characters start to die then I'm going to delete them.
3.) Try to keep the ratios even. We have a stats sideboard so if you see that we're in need of more of one gender or species then please try and join as that group. This isn't something I'm going to enforce unless things get ridiculous.
4.) No creating your own species. We already have a good amount of them and there are plenty of sub-categories.
5.) I don't care what name you register with, but please change your display name to your characters First and Last name with proper capitalization.
6.) Just because this is an anime site doesn't mean the names have to sound Japanese. Pick whatever kind of name you want.
`Roleplaying!!!
[/b][/size]"It's why we're here"[/center]
1.) This is an intermediate to advanced roleplaying site so the bare minimum that you should post is 300 words. It is preferred that you average between 500-600 words, or more.
2.) While large posting counts are good, they don't mean anything if what you're posting is crap and doesn't give people anything to respond to. I'd rather read and respond to 350 words that gives me something to respond to than 1000 words of how your character spends all their time in front of a mirror.
3.) Cross overs are not allowed. This is an original anime roleplay site, so there are not to be characters from anime shows/games or manga.
4.) Originality is amazing! Don't pick a play by and then base your character off of that person in whatever show they're from.
`Graphics!!!
[/b][/size]"They're gorgeous"[/center]
1.) While not required, graphics and play bys are awesome! They let the other members know what your character looks like.
2.) Avatar's are to be no bigger than 100x100. If you have a large image I suggest cropping/resizing because otherwise the site will do so for you and then you have a very squished avatar.
3.) Signatures are also nice! Though not necessary. They are to be no bigger than 500x300 pixels.
4.) Content needs to keep with the site rating! There are to be no sexually themed signatures and if a staff member asks you to remove your signature then you should do so or we will.
`The End!!!
[/b][/size]"See? That wasn't so bad"[/center]
All of these rules are subject to change at the will of the Admin. If a change occurs that affects old members then a mass PM will be sent out.
