Please read the rules carefully, this is so everyone has an enjoyable time roleplaying. There'll also be a hidden message within the rules that you have to send to me. This will guarantee your acceptance into our school.

I. Roleplaying

You should know that this is an ANIME roleplay forum. We only accept Original characters, and you are not permitted to take an anime character from a different manga or series. Same goes with characters from different roleplay sites. Please be original when making your character. If there are any questions on how to roleplay please PM me, Kirai.

When roleplaying, please use proper english and try to refrain from swearing. It is allowed to swear, or cuss if you prefer, but please don't go overboard with it. It's just more annoying, and you might offend someone. Please take other people's feelings into consideration, because the world doesn't revolve around you(or me, even though I tell everyone it does XP).

To prevent an overload of topics, only admins are allowed to create topics. Users may post new topics in Pending Applications and in the OOC area. Also only use net lingo(lol, OMG, etc.) in the OOC area or when you're trying to talk to a member.

Ex: Kirai walked down the street, looking just as gloomy as ever. ((HI!!! Today is my cat's birthday!!))

Did you notice that it was put in double parentheses? When talking like that, it does not affect your roleplay.

II. Sexual and Violent Content

Everything must be PG-13. I'm sure there'll be violence and affection, but keep it PG-13!! There'll be NO pornographic content or an avatar or siggy that is too "revealing." Anything beyond a kiss, will lead to a warning and any pornography will lead to an immediate ban! Cybering, is also a no-no. Please cyber in a PM or elsewhere-most preferably elsewhere. Just keep in mind that there may be younger viewers on the site.

To both genders: There's nothing wrong with roleplaying as the opposite gender. Just enjoy yourself, no one will care.

III. Harassment

If anyone has the nerve to harass or bully you, through a PM or in the OOC, you let me or any other warden know right away! Then we'll smack them silly! But in all seriousness, please let us know.

IV. Character Rules

THERE SHALL BE NO GODMODDING! Here's an example of godmodding:
Kirai hated pickles, so she pushed her shopping cart out the market, and took out a bomb! She threw it into the pickle aisle and it went off! Kirai made it out of the market alive, without a single scratch on her.
Ok, I don't know what you are, but as a human I wouldn't be able to survive an explosion. Neither would Kirai.

THERE SHALL BE NO METAGAMING!! No OOC information in roleplay. For example, Kirai has not yet officially met your character yet. So when I roleplay or moderate the forums I don't want to see:
"Hey Kirai! Happy b-day to Hamlet, your cat!"
"Um, how do you know my name, and I never told anyone it was my cat's birthday today..."

ROLEPLAY FOR YOURSELF!Do not roleplay for anyone else!! EVER!!! For example:
Kirai and her good warden friend, Bob, walked down the hall. "Let's go this way." Kirai said,pointing down a spooky hallway. Bob agreed and followed Kirai down the dimly-lit hallway.
If you do something like that, the other person roleplaying, won't know how to reply to that, and people wouldn't want to roleplay with ya if you're constantly roleplaying as their character.

Ok, you can have as many characters as you want, but it's one per account. I don't suggest this, because it becomes tedious, especially during activity checks. We also expect you to keep them all active, so you can have as many characters as long as you can maintain them.

V. RESPECT
I'm going to fly right through this! Respect the site and its members, that means nothing hateful or abusive. No mean comments or bullying the Wardens and patients. Catching my drift?

In order to begin roleplaying you must first create a character application, and prove that you have read the rules. To do this, you must send this quote to me, Kirai. "This is bad, Lenalee! You have to think more sexy thoughts, or else, you'll never find a lover!" -Lavi
Thank you for reading the rules!
