✦ Ʀulε I: No god modding, auto-hitting*, auto-killing, or auto-knowing. Your character cannot be invincible or overpowered with no weaknesses. You cannot automatically kill, mutilate, or maim someone's character unless you have permission from the person who made them, nor may you control characters that are not your own. You cannot have your character knowing things they cannot possibly know just because you know it, such as the weaknesses of a particular character.
1a: Auto-hitting is technically allowed in cases where a character would be unable to block, dodge, or otherwise avoid an attack. That being said, it is a grey area. One person's opinion of what a character can't avoid may be different from another person's, so you should always speak to anyone you are fighting with to avoid possible issues. If you cannot speak, it is best to leave whether an attack hit or not open ended and allow the person controlling the target to decide whether the attack hit or not.
- If this rule is abused and it becomes an issue, I will implement a battle system. I promise you will not be happy with some of the consequences if I have to do this. So play nice, okay?

✦ Ʀulε II: Follow Gaia's ToS. There are kids on Gaia. This means that your character pictures must not show their private areas. You should try not to have any nudity in your posts. If things are getting steamy, timeskip. Try not to be too detailed with any gore. Also, try to censor any swearing your character does (or be really creative).

✦ Ʀulε III: Be respectful of other roleplayers. Snapping at people when under stress is understandable, but try not to do it too often. Constantly being just plain mean will not be tolerated. Do not bully, threaten, or start drama. If you have a serious problem with someone, ask either the Captain or Vice Captain(s) for help to resolve it.
3a: When the mods are contacted about an issue, they will be expected to speak to all parties involved and try to come to a solution that does not require someone to be punished. Only if an acceptable resolution cannot be reached will harsher action be taken.

✦ Ʀulε IV: Be active. We understand if you cannot post every day, but please try to post at least one a week. If you can't post for some reason, let people know.

✦ Ʀulε V: Try to be at least semi-lit. This means your posts should be at least three sentences long. Please, try to spell words at least somewhat correctly and use good grammar. Do NOT use text talk outside of OOC.

✦ Ʀulε VI: Characters must be approved before you start posting. To help avoid god modders, your character must be approved by either the Captain or Vice Captain(s) before you start posting.
6a: There is a difference between a powerful character and a god mod character. Powerful characters are allowed, but their powers must be balanced with truly limiting weaknesses. For this reason, any and all weaknesses you think of must be listed in the profile, preferably in the description of the power it applies to. If multiple powers share the same weakness, you must still list the weakness with each power it applies to. This is to avoid misunderstandings over whether or not a particular weakness applies to a certain power.

✦ Ʀulε VII: The Captain's word is law! If the Captain or Vice Captain(s) tells you to stop doing something, stop doing it. If they want you to change something in a profile, change it. They probably have a good reason for telling you to do things. That being said, if you think we are acting out of line, explain why. We're pretty reasonable.

✦ Ʀulε VIII: No instant hook-ups or popular anime characters. Your characters cannot instantly just fall in love or something like that when they've met for the first time. You can use pictures of popular anime characters, just don't actually create said anime characters. We don't need Tinkerbell running around.

✦ Ʀulε IX: Do not make your own threads without asking. Even the crew has to do this. The only exception to this rule is if the thread in question is the home of one of your characters.

✦ Ʀulε X: If you need help, ask. If you have a question, don't be afraid to ask a Vice or the Captain. Or PM someone. We might seem scary, but we're here to help!

♛ Don't like the rules? Leave. ♛
If you break any of these rules, here is how we will punish you:
☠ You will be warned three times. On the fourth, we will kick and blacklist you if you broke any major rules.
☠ Severe infractions will result in an immediate, and permanent, ban. These include bullying and harassment of other roleplayers.

✦ For minor rule-breaking, roleplayers may be asked to attempt to work it out among themselves. In that case, please at least attempt to do so. If it doesn't work, mods will get involved to more harshly handle things.
