The following are the rules we ask that you follow here on this forum. We are pretty laid back, but we WILL enforce them.
- No God-moding: Now there are times even when the best roleplayer wants to just blow the world up and laugh about it, but use logic while fighting and if you try something crazy like being in 5 places at once, or magically evading every attack, then expect to have an admin or mod to interfere and fix things. We want fights and the RP to be fair. Remember, no one is invincible, no matter how awesome your character is.
- No meta-gaming: Your character doesn't know what you know. Meaning just because you, as the player, know it's a trap doesn't mean your character knows it's a trap. Remember this always.
- Respect: This is a big rule here. We all ask that you respect your fellow members. Being a total dick will not put you in great light with anyone, including the Staff who approve your profiles.
- Ranks: RP accordingly, so don't try to take a captain on with you full power when you're a 3rd seat, you will just get beat to a pulp; all admins will back the captain on this fact, so please don't try to attack captain when your stats are low, or try to take on a menos when you just made a new character.
- RP: Do not RP without an approved character and weapon, you will just be banned for a day if you do so. Repeat offenses will lead to a 5 day ban and then a Perma-Ban.
- Profiles Do not, (DO NOT!), post in other peoples profiles. Only Three Types of people are allowed to post in a persons unaccepted profile.
- Faction leader - As a leader they have the right to speak up on unapproved characters to aide them in fitting with the faction better.
- Moderators - They Check, Give Suggestions to fix things, and Approve or Deny profiles.
- Administrators - They have the right to overrule the Moderators should the need be. This is rare however, and is only done when something slipped through the approval process that shouldn't have.
- Faction leader - As a leader they have the right to speak up on unapproved characters to aide them in fitting with the faction better.
- HAVE FUN: We are laid back and make stuff for you all to have fun, we are here to just sit back and RP, so if ya got a bad attitude because something happens, take it out in a training post or just simply don't post and take a breather because we all have bad days; no need to make every one else have one, though.
- Accounts/Characters: You are allowed up to one (1) Captain class starting character, three (3) Vice-Captain class starting characters per faction (Las Horda/Factionless count toward either Las Noches or Ootoriha/Viz Corp depending), and any amount of low tier (sub 300 starting Stat points) characters.
- Of your low tier characters (sub 300 starting Stat points) only 2 may progress beyond Vice-Captain class through training. All other low tier character will be capped at 350 Total Stat points.
- If another character in a higher slot dies and you choose not to cycle them, one of your low tier characters can have their level cap raised.
- You may sacrifice your 3 Vice-Captain class slots in any faction to instead make a second Captain class character.
- You can only do this for a faction in which you do not already have a Captain class character.
- You can do this only once. This means you are capped at two (2) Captain class starting characters.
- Vice-Captain slots cannot be transferred to other factions. This is to stop one player from acquiring too much influence within any one faction.
- Of your low tier characters (sub 300 starting Stat points) only 2 may progress beyond Vice-Captain class through training. All other low tier character will be capped at 350 Total Stat points.
- Character Death: When a player character dies they are given the option to either start fresh with a new character, or have them move through the Cycle of Reincarnation. This usually involves losing all of one's memories.
- Spirit Characters (Ex: Shinigami, Mod Souls, Hollows, Arrancar and Vizard) may reincarnate as one of the Human classes with a starting boost equal to 1/8th their highest Stat upon death. This does not effect their Captain/Vice-Captain slot designation. (Ex: if their highest Stat is 600 at death they get an additional 75 points to distribute at start)
- All Human Characters may choose to pass on to Soul Society peacefully, willingly sacrificing their memories and reincarnate as a Soul with high spirit energy. They may then apply to become a Shinigami.
- Humans can also choose to linger as a Lost Soul in the World of the Living, but for each post they make as a Lost Soul they become closer to Hollowification. Once they reach 20 posts as a Lost Soul they will Hollowify, and lose their memories. The resulting Lesser Hollow gets an starting boost equal to 1/4th their highest Stat. (Ex: if their highest Stat is 600 they get an additional 150 points total to start with) [cannot start as Gillian, Adjucha or Vasto Lorde]
- Any Character with a total of 300 in at least two Stats may reincarnate with their memories intact so long as they pass a test. A story coordinator or Admin will create a mini-Event to determine if you succeed. Success for a Human means not only that you you retain your memories, but your powers as well. Humans who retain their power as Souls may still become Shinigami, but their latent powers will weaken as it fuses into their Zanpaktou.
- Finally, you may forgo the Cycle of Reincarnation entirely and make an entirely new Character.
All rules are subject to change. Check back often and keep your eyes open for updates.
