Rules of the Guild


- Follow the Gaia TOS. That's simple. You can re-read it here. [x]

- Follow the rues of the regular thread as well. You can re-read them here. [x]

- Do not create topics in the main thread unless given permission to by a Mod of this guild.

- Do not post in other peoples journals.

-Rules regarding RP-

- Do not post in areas you are not supposed to be posting in, unless you are given special permission.
( IE: If you have an imperial character than don't have him in the Republic unless he has a reason. Same goes for the rest of the groups. )

- Charater fights happen. Not every character will like your character, but do not take the fights to RL and argue with each other about it.

- Keep the Yaoi/yuri/Make out stuff of any couple to private. I do not want to see any of that stuff. This place should be were people can RP and feel comfortable about the content. ( more on this topic will be covered in F.A.Q )

- Godmoding is a BIG no-no. Humans are not all powerful and your character will have weaknesses. It's no fair to play "superman" and be all invincible to everyone. That sucks all the fun out of the game.

- Characters from the old guild are able to play here in this guild, but they will not have the same status as they did in the other guild. The ranking system is different here. ( more on this topic will be covered in F.A.Q )

- Some characters have a bad temper, but keep the language use to a minimum. I don't want to see a cuss word every other word.

- Death may happen to your character, but you will get a fair warning before entering into an RP with a dangerous character.

- Be sure that if your character is aggressive and homicidal warn the person you are going to RP before RP happens. ( more on this topic will be covered in F.A.Q )

-Play in character. Don't take things that a character does personally. RP is "Role Play".

-If you are involved in an OPEN role play area, than please remember to close out your charater before you leave. If there is an emergency than state you have to go quickly. If it's a really really big emergency than no worries than it's best you take care of that. If you fail to close your charater out that it will be stated that they: 1) Walked away 2) passed out or something like that.

-Don't play another person's charater for them. Saying they walked away when they are off is one thing, but trying to play them and do vocal actions for them is not allowed.

GunSniper
To all you happy RPers,

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if you are in an RP with some one, try to finish it. Do not leave them hanging. That is quite a rude thing to be doing. If you say that you are having a brain fart, that's fine. Farts happen, but than don't go off and start a new RP and leave the previous one alone in the dust. ( I'm not saying that you can't have more than one RP with a character. Don't take this the wrong way. That's not where it wants to go.)

You -can- abandon an RP and close it as unfinished, but doing this will severely hurt your chances at rank ups and missions. But be sure to let the person you are RPing with know that you do not wish to continue any more. A summary will than be agreed upon what happened so that the story doesn't make sense and just cuts off.

Thank you guys. Much love here.

About Military and What Not
Second note I will talk about is authenticity of military character. Needles to say I was very very very disappointed in the rev raptor RP where the characters were all acting like rogues. Yes, I understand that it is your character to develop a personality and that is fine, but also be aware of their back story. It was posted that those raptors belong to hand picked individuals by the emperor himself! You'd think that he would know a good and faithful pilot when he saw one. Bickering during a mission is not something that military personnel do before an important missions. You'd also think that if they are where they are now that they would have been trained to follow orders despite a quarrel they have with another team mate. To take it up with them after the mission when they are on their own time. If you are going to create a character through an event ZOID read into the part! The hand picked thing was a surprise, but being in the imperial army was not. Characters actions affect the outcome in a story, and the Imperial and republic army have every authority to confiscate a ZOID from any individual if they severely disobey orders.
Another note about military, they are not morons. Don't expect a character to be able to raid a base all on their own. It is not like in the cartoon where they are all incompetent and lazy. Bases are heavily guarded and a through background investigations are needed to get on base without a military ID. Knowing the advance technology they have, there are very clever ways to check for fake IDs. Also, hacking a computer is a MAJOR feat for any one person. Hacking a military computer is extremely complicated and near impossible to do.

(( Before I continue I want to heavily note I'm not picking on any one individual. I'm stating these things so that multiple persons do not try to pull this in their RPs. It's unheard of. ZOIDS are make believe and do over step some reality boundaries with their technology and existence, but there is a logical line even they do not cross. ))

So on those notes, try to RP logically. A military character can be a jerk and act a bit of a rouge, but they know the rules of the military and should follow them when watched. They have most likely passed basic training.
If not they will defiantly learn these qualities of a real soldier. A rougue/mercenary cannot storm and defeat a base all on their own. Even Riot can't pull a stunt like that. Much less break into a military database and steal information on his own. Doubt Riot can even use a computer though.... (Don't tell Dreamer I said that!) >3> With this in mind, develop a character and stick to the background. Not every one in the world is bipolar or has some emotional disorder.

If anything else is needed to be said than it will be posted. Party threads will be set up to get the ball rolling. Rogues already have one ready to go, so feel free to party. Thank you guys for sticking with us and keeping this shop alive!

Frequently Asked Questions


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- Alright, so you mentioned about the Yaoi/Yuri not being allowed. That's not fair... you're such a homophobe!

A- Fist off, I'm not scared of the homosexual thing. I know some people who are and it's a rational fear. Like Arachnophobia, people who are scared of spiders are not in the wrong. If I see this labeling going on You will be BANNED from the thread.
(This goes for ANY type of downgrading labeling on the intent of making someone feel horrible. )
Second, I don't want to see any sexual RP or pictures of any kind. A small kiss is alright, but RPing making out is something I don not want to see. romance is fine, but keep it PG13 as the Gaia rules state.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- I have a character form the other guild and they was all powerful and highest level!

A- The rank system here is going to me much different. For one, going through the imperial, republic, rouge status, you need to actually RP. Its not going to be based on random senseless battles. Battles are fun, but they need a purpose... And the high ranks should go to people who are actually dedicated to being part of the guild.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- Organoids, how can I get one?

A- Organoids are going to be easy or hard to obtain depending on what they do. The powerful ones are going to be VERY hard to obtain while others can be obtained via custom.
Dr. Fox experiments with these things and has created weaker versions.
Powerful ones will be handed out, again, depending on RP. Quest and what not. These are rare rare rare. And did I say rare?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- The Artist won't re-draw my pilot again! It's been done wrong three times! That's not fair. I think you should fire them.

A- That's not a question... Anywho, the artists work very had on their drawing. Re-drawing it three times is generous, very generous. All the Pilot artists have guidelines posted in their section in the main thread. You have to read the rules they have there too...
You have to provide a good description on what you want, if one was not provided that it is your fault. We can't read minds. So please don't complain.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- You mentioned that Characters can actually die? I don't want mine to die. They are full of win and awesome!

A- Yes, it is possible for your character to die. But you have to get a warning that you are getting into a RP session with an extremely dangerous character before RP starts. If they fail to warn you than they have no right to kill anyone.
Example: The Judge is homicidal and there is a good risk she will try to kill your character.
Now you can either still get on with the RP or decide not to. RP at your own risk kind of thing. But Because danger can be fun it's not -that- likely that a character will die. As stated below, they'd have to be doing some pretty rash things.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- But there is a story line event and there is a noted dangerous Character! I don't want Mr. Mcawesome to die. Do I have to sit the SL out?

A- For story lines there may be Character deaths, but only if permission is given. (Which I don't see happening.) Otherwise, for SL event only, they can get injured but not killed if permission was not given. So every one can participate. :3 We want that kind of thing.
Do note though that if a character does stupid things they are at risk of loosing a limb or something worse. RP responsibly. Try try try to stay in character.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- I totally want all my Characters to be killers and evil and twisted and bad and very crazy and have emotional issues and hate everyone and be mean! Cool?

A- Though Creating a character is up to you, I ask that we keep the crazy psychopaths to a minimum. Not every one in the world is crazy and it would be sad if this one was cramped with a million of them. Normal people can be cool.
( I know the shop is "Dark Century"... but normal good awesome people rock too.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- Hey, I want my charater to be a rouge leader... How do I do that?

A- You have to submit a form to me and have at the very least five people in your group. If you are trying to over turn and take over a group you have to win a battle against the current leader. Of course you have to have permission to get into the battle in thge first place. D: I'll have a thread set up in the Rouge area explaining this....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- My Character is the descendant of ( or parent of or related to closely to) { insert any character from the Zoids series. } okay?

A- We would say no to that. ( Especially any character from the Zoids Zero.) Why? Well it may cause conflict with another person and we don't want that at all. So no, please don't argue with this logic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- Can I play {Insert character from the zoids series}?

A-No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q- My character looks JUST LIKE and acts like {Insert character from the zoids series}! Cool?

A-No, not so much. Common now, be creative here. None of this being a copy machine.
