First Things First[/b]
This site does not have an age setting (i.e. PG, PG-13...) but I will assume that you all know how to play nice and not give the other children rabies.
I will also assume that you all know how to write at least four sentences and know about the mechanics of roleplaying (i.e. ooc, ic, powerplaying, godmodling, and other such things).
Another thing, please listen to the administrators and moderators. We like to keep the site fun for everyone.
Please don't double post or spam, anyone caught doing this will receive proper judgment.
Registering
Any problems registering, please don't be afraid to contact the staff (including me).
After being registered, post in all the OOC posts you want as you create your character. Once done, put your character up in the submissions using the template.
Language[/u]
Again, there is no rating for the language. Please, use what language you think is appropriate, and if we find you abusing the power of speech on here, we will be forced to suspend your account for a limited amount of time the first time. The second time, your privileges will be restricted to great proportions. And the third time is the last and we will delete your account. This is not to be mean, but to merely keep everyone happy on the site.
OOC
Okay, please don't go around flaming other people (sorry, a habit from being on fanfiction, but flaming means insulting and basically being the biggest internet bully on the metaphorical block).
There are many different ways of talking in OOC, the three most common are ((like this)), ooc// this, OOC: and this. I don't ask you to use these three specifically, but please make it obvious that you are ooc.
NO CHATSPEAK!!! I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but that hurts my head! And sometimes you get the wrong word! I will warn you, this really gets on my nerves!
(i.e. OMG, ths is lyke te mst anying w@y to t@lk!!!)
NO CHATSPEAK!!!
Character Number
There is no limit to how many characters you can have, but please be reasonable and make what you can keep up with. That's all we ask. If we find that some of your characters are being neglected, we will send you a warning, you have a week to reply...
If you reply, we will talk to you about it.
If you don't reply, you will soon find your character in the adopt section.
I'm not trying to be mean, just trying to keep the site in check.
Fighting[/b]
I might be no good at fighting, but I do know that it is a part of roleplaying. But we ask that you don't make it your mission in life to fight with every character ever made.
Major fights must be notified to a staff member who will judge the fight. Major fights can be to win something, prove something, or over someone. The victor will be determined by the staff who moderates the fight, unless the winner has been decided already between the two players (in which case, notify the moderator).
Small scraps are allowed. There is no winner, no loser, no death, and is not over something like a mate, to prove something, or win something. These will mainly be over views of opinion and both characters walk away intact. These are not moderated by a staff member.
IC
First, if you are talking out of character, please make is obvious that you are back in character, whether is be the words ic// or a change of font color.
Code word of character creation is iguana
When your character is speaking, as well as using quotation marks, please bold it. You may also use color, but at least bold.
NO powerplaying or godmodling. If you don't know what those are, I might suggest going and brushing up on those at a roleplay information website.
As for the post length, all I ask for is at least four sentences? And the only rule about that is they can't be some of those baby sentences that they had you write in first grade. FOUR SENTENCES.
The age of your character is totally up to you, though the age for the students is 16 (15 is cutting it close) to 23 (24 and 25 are possible) and anything thing else above that can be a professor.
Your character can be in up to four threads at one time and when your character is leaving, please inform the others about this in some way or another.
The looks of your character can be as wild and wacky as your imagination can handle, just be reasonable and no perfect charries.
Please fill the forms out correctly for the character template. It makes approving your characters a lot easier and sometimes can be less for you to fill out.
The appearance should be at least 150-200 words (200 is preferred), or at least look like it. Personality should be at least 125 words, or enough for us to understand the inside of your character. The history should be at least 200, but 250 is what I can only hope for. Please do something original with your history, not everyone has a terrible life.
The rules of powers are explained in the 'Powers' thread.
You're going to need the code word for character creation later...
The limit of the number of pets is one. We don't want the little critters overrunning the place, and don't worry, it's not required for you to have one.
Mates
Love is in the air, and yes, this roleplay can hold some romance.
If your character starts dating, please alert a staff member by PM. Same thing if they get engaged, married, mated, ect.
Sorry folks, but kiddies are not allowed. We do not have a daycare center, and though I know that pregnancy in school is not uncommon, we must be reasonable here.
Sex. Yes, I said the vile word. Sex. It happens, honestly it does, but still no kiddies. We will all know sex happens when it spreads around in the gossip loop or someone randomly mentions it.... or I get evil and put it up in an announcement.
Dating happens when two people get close and lovey dovey... you know, complete with the heart shaped eyes and cupid's arrow sticking out their butt.
Engagement and marriage are terms mainly used by the humans, mating is the equivalent to koutai and half-breeds and is more common around Kurohyou.
We please ask that you do not do mating scenes... this can cause some uncomfortable situations for others.
Pets
Pets are not always cute little cats and dogs, they can be tough as a lion... or a chihuahua.
They can have up to three forms on here...
Each pet may have an element (see powers), but it is not as powerful as a koutai, human, or half-breed may have. It can be enhanced if their owner's power is the same or if they have a strong connection.
A strong connection is when the pet accepts its owner and forms a mind link with that one specific person.
Most anything goes with the form of your pet from blobs to wolves. I ask that you not go overboard and create a crazy animal like a neon green chicken/snake/baboon with giant fangs. Markings are fine, and one piece of jewelry is accepted.
Mating can happen between pets... just like with people.
Mythical pets are accepted, but as these are rare, there are limits.
Punishment[/u]
If rules are broken, we will give judgment based on how bad the offense is.
There is no guidelines for how much warning is given each time, it will be given based on the offense. Like an accidental double post could be 5% to 10% warning, and cursing a staff member out will result it 90%. Those are examples and might not necessarily be what you get, but please keep the site with the rules.

Pets
Pets are not always cute little cats and dogs, they can be tough as a lion... or a chihuahua.
They can have up to three forms on here...
- Small Form: One that may ride on your shoulder, not all pets must have this.
- Large Form: One that can be ridden or used in a fight, not all pets must have this.
- Pendant Form: Some pets will change into a small gem pendant which can be worn around the neck of the owner, not all pets must have this.
Each pet may have an element (see powers), but it is not as powerful as a koutai, human, or half-breed may have. It can be enhanced if their owner's power is the same or if they have a strong connection.
