Order of Battle:
When attacking someone, you must first state your attack.
Then wait to see how they reply to your attack. (dodge, block, take hit)
once they post how they responded to your attack, you may attak again, or they may attack and the cycle is started over again.

Example:
Kanda: *swings sword sideways at akuma*
Akuma: "Oh no!" *blocks with right arm and takes (X) damage*
Akuma: *Shoots bullet at Kanda*

Example of what not to do:
Kanda: *swings sword sideways at akuma*
Kanda: *swings sword at akuma again*

Daily Actions
When talking, say the characters name followed by : and then "".
When doing something use **.
When saying something out of character use OOC:

Example:
Allen: "Nice to meet you, my name is Allen Walker." *smiles and extends hand.*
Lenalee: *shakes Allen's hand* "Nice to meet you."
OOC: Hey serenityofsand what time is it?

Fighting
When fighting using your innocence, add your strength and your innocence. That number will be the amount of damage you do. If you hit your oppent, they lose that amount from their health, if they block they lose half that amount from their health. If your innocence is an innocence that only heals or does something of the like then you don't add your innocence power.
If your fighting without your innocence invoked then just use your strength. You cannot kill akuma without you innocence invoked.

Health
When your health reaches -1 you will pass out, when your health reaches -2 you will die. Health is regenerated over time (around one day RP time).

Surprise Attacks
A surprise attack is an attack someone wouldn't have seen coming. It's true that after the attack is stated, soemone could say "I saw that coming!", but weather the attack counts as a surprise or not is jugded by moderators.
To block a surprise attack your reflexes must equal the speed of the person from whom the attack is coming.
To dodge a surprise attack your reflexes must surpass the speed of the person from whom the attack is coming.

Blocking
To block an attack, your speed and reflexes must equal your oppents speed (take 1/2 damage). To Dodge an attack, your speed and reflexes must surpass your oppents speed. If your speed and reflexes equal less than your oppents, you take the hit and full damage.

Additional Innocence Power
An additional innocence power is a power your innocence has that isn't it's basic power. You may not get an additional innocence power until you reach level 3. After level 3, you will have the option of making a new additonal innocence power every 3 stages you level up. Once an addtional innocence power is created you can level it up like any of your other stats.
