Veterans :: Twinside, Kitty Thingy, Miss Sadie Skellington
Members :: Everyone else. XP

Owner - The person who owns the Manse; pretty self-explanatory. They will oversee all individual events run by the different GMs.

Second-in-Command - When the Owner is absent for a short or a long while, this person will be in charge.

Elites - Members who have proven their loyalty beyond normal bounds, earning a position close to the breast of the Manse. Consider them staff; honor and respect them as you would the Owner. Their authority encompasses that of all those below them, and they may also overrule the orders of a GM.

Justices - Members that have been promoted because of their cool head and level judgment. If there is a dispute between certain members of the roleplay that does not involve battle, these people will mediate and see to it that the situation is calmed down and brought to as happy an ending as possible. Their word is law; breaking it will be weighed as heavily as disobeying a direct order from the Owner.

Generals - Members that have been promoted because of their fierce ability in battle. They are allowed to judge disputes that have to do with individual affairs in battle, but cannot override the decision of a GM in their event.

Veterans - Members who have been around for quite some time, and who know how things work 'round here. No real position of authority; consider these folks good people to look to when you're lost.

Members - Regular members, most of you will probably be here; everyone will start here.

Notice the difference? You attempt to deal damage to your opponent. Ultimately, attacking is all about being creative and trying to exploit your enemy's weakness. What about defending and countering, though? Well, here's an example of what not to do:




No, no, no, no, no! Dodging is okay, but doing it all the time to every part of every attack makes the fight boring, and will probably get you kicked out [it will in my threads, at least]. Also, even though your opponent is close, you can't just stab them in the face. That's still considered an auto-hit. Here is a good example of something you could do:







Okay, so when it comes to 99.9% of lifeforms, they have two different forms of energy. Health and Mana. Health, well, that's pretty obvious. The strength with which you can swing a sword, the keenness of your vision, how many hits you can take before going down, etc. Mana is the opposite of this, sort of. How quickly you can cast a fireball, the intensity of your magic, how many magic spells you can cast before running dry, etc.

When it comes to things like robots and androids (cyborgs are a different story), they have one form of energy, Power. This is a sort of combination of both Strength and Mana. Remaining Power and how power is directed will determine a number of things, including, but not limited to, locking on, firing missiles, attacking, defending, repairing, transforming, etc. This can be in the form of a battery or a nuclear core or the like. When it runs dry, the robot is down and out.
















Metaphysics: Attempting to explain away actions which are ultimately magical but with scientific words, anime physics, etc., in order to make attacks and abilities that are considered a God-mode believable and 'legal.'

Atomic and Molecular Manipulation: Anything that has to deal with manipulating the structure or components of atoms or molecular structures. This includes microscopic nanobot alterations. FMA-style transmutation, D20 style negative energy, and forms of telekinesis are not counted as atomic or molecular manipulation. Lycanthropes and other forms of shapeshifters are not considered as manipulation, along with devil fruit user's powers.

Inexplicable and Dimensional Teleportation: Instant phasing between realities, dimensions, universes or planes of existence, moving at the speed of light, etc. A time build up for a teleportation spell, at least equal to how long it would take you to cover the ground you want to travel would be allowed; doing so instantly is not counted as inexplicable/dimensional teleportation; likewise, ritual teleportation is exempted.

Planar Psionics: Anything that involves using the powers of the mind to override the laws of reality on a large scale, create new planes of existences, dimensions, universes; bring in extraplanar materials, or other such actions that are in the realms of what deities can perform.

Clarification on Ring-Outs: Leaving the arena in any way, shape, or form (excluding the methods defined under the teleportation rule) results in a loss via ring-out. No burrowing more than ten feet below arena floor, and no jumping, hovering, or flying higher than three hundred feet. Should a fighter be driven through the floor/walls more than ten feet or thrown higher than three hundred feet into the air by his or her opponent, said opponent is awarded the win via ring-out. This only applies to Tournaments, if the tournament is inside an arena, then these are the guild lines for the area of combat.
