    Forum and Chatbox Rules:
    Disobeying the rules listed below will result in a warning, and an eventual ban if sustained.

    Chatbox Rules:

    • Harassment to other players in the form of verbal or textual abuse and/or any other form of abuse will not be tolerated.
    • Excessive trolling will not be tolerated. If told to stop, then you must stop.
    • This is a mature site, so there may be some foul language, but abusing it and insulting other players is unacceptable.
    • Attempting to exploit and/or abuse a system will not be tolerated.
    • Staff must also follow these rules. No exceptions.


    Account/Alternate Account Rules:

    • You may only have up to 3 alternate characters anytime you wish. This means you may have one main account and three alternate accounts. The only requirement is for you to be active on all of your accounts.
    • You cannot role-play more than one character on an account. You must create an alt or NPC account to play other characters. Only exception to this will be ‘pet’ characters.
    • There are exceptions to this rule; you must buy extra slots in order to obtain additional accounts. If you are caught cheating the system or lying, you are subject to a ban.
    • Your FC must be a fictional character. To register your Face Claim or to see which are not available, click [url=LIIIINK]here[/url].
    • If your character dies, you may NOT edit the profile; however you may create a new account and import most of your primary items (Gold, Tokens...) to a new account. You may also import your items if it were to make sense on how you obtained the materials. (Finding the dead body, perhaps leaving it in a box...). Do note that all event items are not transportable unless you have added it to the vault. All of this will need to be done through a thread and must be approved by an admin.
    • If you create an alt, you must list it in the alternate character thread or it will be deleted. If someone with the same IP address joins the site, please inform an admin so as to avoid any misunderstandings regarding characters.


    Role-Playing Rules:

    • As mentioned before, this is a mature site and so foul language in role-playing is mildly acceptable. Please keep sexual actions to a minimum (black out, etc) or do them in the designated sections.
    • Godmodding will not be tolerated and may result locking of the thread for review. If continued, you will be at risk of getting banned. We will still issue warnings before doing so. Godmodding is when a player controls the actions of another player without permission and/or a player performs actions that their character should not be capable of considering the situation.
    • Metagaming will not be tolerated unless the other person you are roleplaying with agrees to it. This, though, cannot be done during an event as well as within certain jobs. If you have any questions, please contact a staff member.
    • Plagiarizing from other players will not be tolerated. You must try to be original when creating your characters. Similarities are inevitable, but we will not accept something completely the same as another member unless they approve of it and contact the admin and or mod reviewing the app.


    Canon/Non-Canon Rules:

    • All users are allowed to freely play as who they like. HOWEVER, we do not encourage members to RP as canon-based characters.
    • Do note that this is an original fantasy RP site and, therefore, it is not tied to any particular anime or manga. Please respect that.

    Character Rules


    1. We don't want to see some straight up copying of characters of other people from any site. Say person A copies a character from Person B. That would be considered as plagiarizing. Your character can be heavily inspired other characters from other fandoms (DC, Marvels, any video games or anime) here, but please do not straight up copy their personality and history.

    2. We will need an exact age on how old your character is. Please take note of the plot, if your character is not human please know the maximum age your character can be is (years before second earth is created)

    3. As for your Alignment please refer to the Alignment Rules for more information. Also please do not simply just put good, evil or neutral. An exact alignment will be needed.

    4. Race perks are similar to passives. However there are a few rules to them. Perks cannot be combative, which means no stat boost, flight during battle and the like for those will require abilities to use. These are RP exclusive abilities. Examples would include the ability to fly outside of battle, transformation (example: if you are a neko you can transform into a cat or if you are a mermaid you can transform your legs into a tail)

    5. Explaining your likes, dislikes, fears and motivations are REQUIRED. We understand if you do not like explaning them however this is for other people to get a more deeper depth to who your character is.

    6. A person is allowed 4 characters, 1 main and 3 alts. Each character must be on a separate account. However a 5th and 6th alt can be achieved via admin's permission.


    Roleplaying Rules

    1. To RP anywhere on the site (minus an OOC RP) you must have an approved character. Any RP posts that is posted by a person whom does not have a character and did not post in a OOC RP will be deleted and the poster warned

    2. No God-modding. Godmodding is basically when one character controls another character. This includes how somebody feels to any thoughts or actions they have or make. Unless you are the owner of a certain character, do not control them. This is strictly forbidden and there are no exceptions to this rule.

    3. No meta-gaming. Remember, any knowledge that you have in a topic is known through IC (in character) experiences. OOC (out of character) you may know lets say Bob but IC you don't know Bob. Mentioning Bob (unless he's widely known ie.being a guild master) in a topic would be considered metagaming.

    4. Auto-Hitting is can easily be one of the most broken rules. This way you're not technically controlling somebody but you are in a way. Auto-Hitting is when you automatically inflict damage on somebody. Say you're in a fight. Person A posts that he threw a punch that was so fast that you couldn't dodge it and it hit. This is auto-hitting. That's not very fair now is it?

    5. Thread order is very important here. Say you joined Thread A and soon Thread B. You cannot mention anything about Thread B in Thread A due to the fact Thread A took place before Thread B.

    6. Posting Order is similar to thread order. If Person A posted first then followed by Person B and Person C it goes in the order of A, B, C, not A, B, A, C, A etc. This makes the thread less confusing and easier to rp. Unless person B hasn't made a post in 48 hours or he/she had requested to skip them, you may not make a post.

    7. Unless this is an OOC post, don't post just one sentence. This will bring the thread nowhere. A minimum of 4 sentences, (it cannot be one worded sentences) is required. Any post that fails to do so will be deleted and its poster will be given a warning.

    8. Any mature topic that is very gory, gruesome, or violent mark the title with (Mature). Any Sexual Content doesn't apply for it is strictly forbidden. If you wish to do anything similar to that, do it through PMs. As stated before, this is a PG-13 site.

    9. Respect the labels. Unless the is marked open, what is stated fits your description (ie. Joining a thread labelled "Open to Fairy Tail" and you are a Fairy Tail member) or your username is in the description, do not join that thread. Especially if its marked private

    10. Fighting, Killing and Permanent Damage will always be an option in a thread for anyone in it unless it says so in the title of the topic. You can use Social, NK (for no killing), NPD (for No permanent damage) or any other phrase in the title. Please put it in brackets.

    11. RP posts here have a paragraph minimum requirement. How long is a paragraph? It would be around 5 to 6 sentences. Any posts that are few than the minimum will be deleted and the poster will receive a warning.
