Welcome to Our Guild!
Rules are easy enough to follow. There seems to be quite a lot of information, I assure you its nothing you haven't heard of before. And though I hate to preach to the choir, rules are always a necessary evil. You can read through that which you are unaware of and skim over the redundancy you have already burned into your memory. If you have any questions and or concerns about rules, or perhaps general Guild questions you seek answers for, this forum acts as a message board. If you have a private matter, my PM box is open to what ever it is you may have need of me for.
Failure to follow rules will result in a three strikes your out policy.
1. Will be a warning, via PM.
2. A warning via PM and a short suspension.
3. You will be banned. You are out.

Rules for Role-Playing
• All Gaian T.O.S applies.
• PG-13 Content is the highest allowed.
• No God-Modding, which means a multitude of Gold like abilities for your character that make them impossible to kill or hit. We have a list of things we hate at the bottom of this message that coincides with God Modding, please make sure you read that.
• There will be NO Excessive Auto Hitting, which is an attack that allows you an unfair advantage, for example:
- "My kick shatters your arm and you are unable to use your powers."
- "I land my perfect attack and then flip backwards to make sure I do not get hit by a re-bound attack from you."
There must be a give and take with this area of Roleplaying. The BattleMods will be around to monitor fights.
• You may NOT control another person's character or move them unless first asked. Usually it is acceptable to take a character's hand and drag them down the grassy hill side. Or take a character into your character's arms. However, example of what you cannot do:
- "I take your character by the neck and tie you to a chair so you can no longer do anything."
• In that same regard, you may NOT kill off anyone's characters aside from your own, unless the situation demands it, or if the person gives you their permission. However, if you enter a fight, be prepared for your character to die. That's what happens when you fight.
• Do not story manipulate. Such as, you are fighting a giant war, and all of a sudden you decided your character is royalty and gets kidnapped. No. Your character is screwed because we are not changing the story just because you want to act like a helpless git. Get over yourself. STICK TO THE ARC.
• Literacy is a must. Correct spelling and grammar, that includes even the mods.
• One-liners, should be a federal offense, so from now on, they are in this guild. You better be able to come up with SEVEN SENTENCES AT LEAST, in order to stay posting in this guild.
• Your character is only allowed to be in one place at a time. Unless there are multiple story arcs, which currently there aren't, you may only have your character in one place. Failure to do so, will result in your posts being deleted.
Rules for OOC Chatting and Guild Etiquette
• There will be no arguing within the guild for any reason. If there is, it will be taken as a serious offense and a strike on your record. Please take it to PM's if you need it resolved. Failure to do so after being asked will result in immediate banning.
• If there is a question left open in the Bleach universe, ask a Mod about it... Don't make your own conclusions about certain facts.
• Please do not flame any of our forums or troll another member. That is not nice and just plain rude.
• Vulgar language is not considered an offense because Gaia has a filter for language. If you don't want to hear it, turn on your filter, stop bitching. However, if language gets out of control such as describing a person out of hatred, we will step in and begin to eradicate....
• Please leave OOC conversation to the OOC, unless it pertains to mistakes made in the posting thread that need to be addressed. But again, please limit OOC talk.
• No more than TWO quotations will be allowed in the OOC, there will be no quoting in the actual RP forum.
• You are to respect everyone in the guild at all times. Being outright rude to another person not pertaining to role-playing will be considered an offense and is taken with high regard. If you are having issues with someone, please use our Reporting Method below if you feel you are being harassed. We take your issues seriously here.
• Please be active. Not posting for a week in any forum is wrong, you will get a message from us, unless you post in the absence forum the times you will be gone. Then that is excusable.
Reporting and Banning
We take your honor very serious in this Guild. We in no way condone disrespect pertaining to religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other formality of that nature. If you are being attacked by another user without provocation, then please fill out the form below and send it DIRECTLY to Lanny. As Guild Owner, it is my responsibility to ensure that you are safe and protected whilst inside of our walls. Do not feel threatened, your identity shall be protected and the problem will be resolved in a professional and swift manner. Your happiness is our priority. Pending the actual defense, we will not be banning left and right, because someone called you a poo poo head, however, vulgar language and blatant disrespect towards another member not pertaining to in character writing, will be cause for immediate expulsion and your eminent banishment.
**NOTE** As of 1/26/2011, this has been altered. If there is an issue, please refer to "The Court" forum for any and all grievances.
Moderators
We follow the "speak softly, but hold a big stick," theory of leadership. We believe in keeping order in our Guild, but we are in no way bullies and or Nazis. Compliance and respect for the Guild's Moderators and Owners is an absolute must. Failure to adhere has dire consequences, but we believe everybody changes with a chance....

Important Character Information:
• All characters start out as E-rank. This is non-negotiable, meaning you aren't E-rank with the strength of D or higher. The only exceptions are the [3] Autoranks per Race.
• Each member is only allowed up to [3] characters. However, you must wait [14] active days between creation of these characters. Meaning you must be active with your character for [14] days at least.
• Only [1] Auto-ranked character is allowed. At no time may one person have more than [1].
• No rip offs of canon characters. In no way may your character make use of cannon powers or techniques. This guild requires absolute originality, though we will allow the reuse of characters you have personally used from other guilds. Copyright is strictly enforced with a zero tolerance policy. If you wish to make a character based on something from an anime or source other than Bleach, simply ask [Lanfaer] if this is okay. Make sure to mention what character you are seeking to use.
Thread Creation Rules
Some RP location threads have a bunch of information in them, some don't. Members are welcomed to add to the general information of planets and locations. Any member is allowed to add NORMAL threads to a particular forum. However, if you wish to add a STICKY to a thread, declaring it a place of interest, or edit the general information, you must first PM the guild captain. The plot and organization of the guild is really reliant on the content and layout of our threads so we would appreciate it if you consulted us before randomly creating STICKY threads. If a thread is created that conflicts with the plot and/or was not discussed with the guild captain it will be deleted.
