Just some rules to follow and learn if you want to roleplay.

Golden Rule:
You must follow the threads specific rules. Each roleplay thread is unique and has a similar set of rules.

Important:
Follow Gaia ToS


The Ten Commandments of Role Playing:
1. The creator is the role play Goddess/God, thou shall not have any Gods or Goddesses before me. (Obey my rules and show me respect. I have the right to kick you out. I also have the right to add, change, and take away rules)
2. Thou shall not God-Mod/Power-play. (That’s pretty self-explanatory)
3. Remember to keep holy the role play language. (BE LITERATE! At least one paragraph per post, correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation, and write in the 9-10 size font. Any colors are fine. Use [] or (()) for out of character comments. Write in third person.)
4. Thou shall honor thy role play rating. (This roleplay is rated PG-15. Romance is allowed but KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON. Fighting is also allowed but keep the gore to a minimum.)
5. Thou shall not kill. (Unless you have my and the other characters permission.)
6. Thou shall not steal thy creator’s works. (Yeah, no stealing, or else I shall sue)
7. Thou shall respect thy fellow role player. (Be nice to each other, okay?)
8. Thou shall respect thy profile rules. (See post four for details)
9. Thou shall be loyal to thy role play. (Do not join, post once, and leave. Post at least three times a week. If you are not on for at least two weeks without an excuse your character will be erased. If you need to leave, TELL ME.)

]Advanced-Literate:
Hotaru stepped back a bit as Pyro's fire soared to extremely high temperatures and she shielded her eyes from the light. As the fire disappeared she looked to Pyro glad to find that he was almost completely unharmed. She turned her gaze then to Peyton reaching her arms out to her water lacing down them. She pushed out from her hands wondering if she could possibly distract Peyton from Pyro to give him a chance to land an attack, but the water it something about a foot or so in front of her. "What the..." She whispered to herself. She pushed it as hard as she could, the force of the water against the mental shield was like a thundering waterfall, but it wouldn't budge. "Mia." Hotaru cursed under her breath. She let the water flow back to her watching Mia out of the corner of her eye to see when the shield might falter and she could destroy it.

Godmodding - What Is/What Isn't

Godmodding this is one of the easiest, and most frowned upon actions to be taken during fighting 'sequences' in RPs. The easiest way I can describe Godmodding is that it is when an RPer acts in a way that prevents the opponent from hitting then or letting them get a hit in, and when they use abilities that exceed even those of the fantasy world.

Here are some examples of Godmodding:
- Attacks that kill instantly.
- Attacks that are unavoidable/unstoppable.
- Never being hit by an opponent.
- Using skills that can bring the dead back to life, without consequences.
- Bringing yourself back from the dead, without consequences.
- Moving characters without their permission.

Those are most of the major signs of Godmodding.

Here is a written example of the Never Being Hit By An Opponent:
-(I'll be using my friend's character Gane, as an example)-
Gane phased away from the opponents attack, and appeared behind him.
So-in-so spun around, and launched a point black energy blast, that exploded in from his hand expanding to cover a thirty foot radius from his hand.
Gane avoided the attack, and got behind the opponent.
So-in-so gathered power into him and then launched a 360 degree energy wave.
Gane avoided the attack and stood in front of him .

]This is a very basic example of never being hit. As you saw even a 360 degree attack was avoided without any evidence of how.
