COSPLAY RULES
Cosplay Rules
- Cosplays may be reserved via the Cosplay Reserve thread located in the guild. Please see that thread for rules on cosplay reserves.
- In most cases, only one form of a cosplay will be allowed to exist. In some cases, multiple forms may be allowed, and whether or not a form is really considered different enough from the first form in existence will be decided on a case-to-case basis. Criteria for this include:
- Different outfits =/= Different cosplays. If there's a Link wearing red, there can't be another wearing green, and another wearing blue, etc.
- Completely different personalities and/or appearances may possibly constitute different forms being allowed. Examples of this include Link and Dark Link, or Ichigo and Hichigo. In both of these cases, the latter is an "evil" version of the former, different in appearance, and completely different in personality.
- Exceptions may also be made in order to accommodate for certain events that were planned before this rule came into effect. For example, a second version of Sephiroth will be allowed for the purpose of the Final Fantasy event that is planned, since a version of him was created before it was decided that multiple forms wouldn't be allowed.
- In cases in which multiple forms are allowed, the same person will not be allowed to own more than one.
- For more rules on alternate forms, please see NEW MULTIPLEFORM COSPLAY & RP RULES
- There are separate rules for Pokemon cosplays, since we're just a cool enough bunch of Pokemon lovers that we need a whole set of rules for them. 8D

Pokemon/Digimon Cosplay Rules
- Unlike with normal cosplays, a maximum of two versions of each Pokemon/Digimon will be allowed, a male and female version - Except for Legendary Pokemon, who are genderless and one of a kind.
- The same person isn't allowed to own both a male and female version of the same Pokemon/Digimon.
- One person can't have more than one of the evolutions from one family. Own a Pikachu? You can't get a Raichu to add to your collection. D: One person also cannot own more than one Legendary from a set. For example, Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno are considered one set, Lugia and Ho-oh another, etc. ( The exception to this is auctions. )
- You cannot order an official Pokemon cosplay with colors other than those actually found on the Pokemon - Shiny versions are okay, randomly deciding you want yellow and blue stripes is not.
