General Rules!! - Follow all these rules guys!! They're not only here just to make guidelines, thy're here for your well beings as well guys ^_^ We're not beat down strict on everything (except for a certain few rules <.<) so just try and follow them~ I know that these may seem long, but they fly by guys! =D
- ABSOLUTELY no bullying, harassing, or criticizing anyone please! Everyone deserves to feel like they're in a fair and safe place to be to have fun ^_^ Besides, there's really no need for rudeness anyway. If we catch you, first time will be a warning then the second time will be a suspension. If we catch you a third we'll probably ban you =/ If you have any problems or concerns regarding anyone, please contact one of the admins and we will do whatever we can to work it out!
- Please be active!! Don't register then leave us! We really want and need devoted Role-players!! We have updates and activity checks every month so please keep tabs on those. If your account remains unactive for two months, we'll have to delete your account unless you otherwise notify us in the 'leaving' board.
- No spamming please!
- Please try not to double post please! If you want to add something to your post, just press the modify button. If you accidentily double post something, please delete it. We'd appreciate not having pages and pages of the same post.
- We ask that you please use proper spelling and grammar. In posts there is a lovely spell check button that you can press to make sure your spelling is correct. PMs really don't need that much of the proper spelling unless you're PMing a staff member. Using proper grammar and spelling gets the point across more accurately. In the chatbox, you can use any spelling you so desire ^_^
- NO STEALING OF ANYTHING!! Not yours, then don't take it or use it. People have put a lot of work into what they've done so don't take it unless you've gotten permission from that person.
- Please listen to and respect the staff, guys. If we send you questions and/or messages regarding your characters or actions, please respond in an appropriate manner. We wish more a drama-free site! Please no unnecessary pleading or complaining. We want this place to be a fun place, please don't ruin that.
- ABSOLUTELY NO RACISM OR HOMOPHOBIC SLURS!! This is a rule that we crack down on, seriously! We're very open-minded people here so we don't need anything that treats anyone as unequal. The instant you see this, report it to a staff member immediately! If you're caught at all, the first time is a warning. Second time, automatic ban!! Now we understand that we all like to have fun and we can joke around from time to time (I do it too but not in a common manner, mind you <.<), but the instant someone feels uncomfortable and speaks up, DROP IT IMMEDIATELY! Also, if you do at all feel uncomfortable in such a situation, PLEASE speak up so it doesn't further!
- There is a five letter word code here in all the rules that you'll need to have your application accepted that shows that you've read the rules. This may change if we feel we need to reinforce the rules. They are in brackets ^_^ Here's the first one guys!! Good luck!! {Find}

Character Rules! - No Mary-sues/Gary-stus! This means that no on is perfect or is "all powerful". Everyone, including characters, have flaws and weaknesses!
- Please don't post anywhere on this site unless it's your character application! After we accept it, you then can post anywhere you want ^_^
- Don't keep pestering us to accept an application after you've finished it. You can let us know that it's there and we'll get to it as soon as possible. If we don't accept right away, we're probably busy with something at the time so please be patient. We are human though, so if we haven't accepted your application within a week, please remind us politely and we will get to it immediately.
- Don't pester anyone about a post or reply. Everyone has a life and may not be able to post/reply right away.
- When making and posting your application, please don't change anything unless we've asked you to. If there's something important that you need to add or want to change, just let us know that you're doing it.
- We ask that you please have one account for every character. I know that this can sometimes be annoying but it's for better organization. Just remain active with all of your canon and OC accounts. Don't create a new character {All} unless you've role played with all your already created characters.
- Remain active with all your characters please! It's sad when a character becomes neglected. Give every one of them attention. For instance: If you have 3 characters and are only active with 2 of them, the inactive one will be deleted. If one of your characters is inactive for at least a month, we will send you a PM telling you that your inactive character will be deleted otherwise. If you do not reply to the PM or the character remains inactive for a longer period time, we will have no choice but to delete it.
-Note: If you want your character to still be active but you can't take on the responsibility, we recommend you put your character up for adoption so your character can be given a second chance ^_^
- Don't kill anyone else's character unless you have been given permission by that person!! Ask them over a PM if you can kill their character if you must. If they say yes, go right on ahead, if not, then it will result in a week of suspension.
- Please post at least once a month! If it's not a possible for that to happen, please let one of the admins why you can't and it will be excused if it's appropriate.
- We ask that you please only limit yourself to 5 characters. If you are very active with all 5 characters and you want to have more, please notify us and we will give it the okay. Just remain active with your other characters or place them in adoption if you can't handle them all.
- You can have as many OC characters as you wish, but we ask that you limit yourself to one canon character, so choose wisely

Role-playing Rules!! - We request that roleplaying be done in Third-Person. And example of this would be Tsubasa looked up at the sky. However, if you absolutely MUST roleplay in First-person, make sure your roleplaying partner is okay with it. If you still don't know what either of these are, ask around and people can probably give you an idea.
- No god-modeling or power-playing! This is where you are all powerful and when you control other people's characters. If it's not your character, you can't control them.
- Every reply must be at least one paragraph (5 sentences). If you can't think of anything think of your character and what they would do in a situation such as what you are in. Think of their interests, personality, and their reactions. Usually that all together can create a good paragraph.
- Please have your character in character (the personality you submitted) at all times when roleplaying. If your character is always cold and rude to everyone, then don't suddenly {The} change them to kind-hearted and pure to everyone.
- Cussing/Cursing is allowed, just please be considerate with it!!
- Color roleplaying is not required, but some people may prefer to use it. Go to this link to see what I'm talking about: www.edenoftheeast.boards.net/index.cgi?action=display&board=t&thread=17&page=1
- This site is primarily PG13 (teenish) rating and this is the rating we encourage! However if it goes beyond this, please mark in your thread title it's over with an "X"
(Note: The rules below here don't necessarily relate to everyone who stays above "X" zone. Understand that the rules below this point are taken extremely importantly to us!)
- PLEASE keep in mind that we DO NOT encourage roleplaying this rating at the risk of being deleted, so PLEASE be considerable. If you feel you absolutely need to do this rating, then please read on to these rules. (Note: this includes violence, sexual content, etc.)
- Please mark somewhere in your thread's title and "X" to warn us ahead of time. Understand that when you do venture down this road, we will follow and monitor your content to make sure it stays within limits.
- We reserve the right to request you to move your roleplays to PMs, your own private chat box room, or any other method you can privately move it to if we feel it's too much. If we feel that it has become too much for the site, we will politely ask you to move it as soon as possible. If you don't respond to let us know you got the message or there are no more new replies on the thread for a week, we will move the thread to the finished/dead threads and lock it.
- If you feel that you wish to continue your roleplay in a more private manner, please notify one of the admins so we can move it to the finished/dead threads and lock it ^_^
- Anything from the collarbone up is allowed so long as it's not done in an overly graphic way. Blood is allowed, just not into too much detail.
-Anything around the torso will be monitored and requested that you move it to PM, your own chat box between the your RP partner, or any other private method if need be. If the blood gets into more detail or an injury goes into way too much detail, we will request you to move it to a more private manner.
-Anything remotely close to the waist line and below is NOT ALLOWED on this site and will result in an automatic deletion of the thread and suspension of your account. Anything that becomes more gore and guts than blood is NOT ALLOWED on this site and will result in immediate deletion of your thread and suspension of your account as well. In other words, please be considerate and know when your roleplay becomes a more private content only meant for you and your roleplay partner's eyes.
-Understand that everyone has different comfort levels. If the person you are roleplaying with (or yourself) does not feel comfortable with going on, respect that and drop it instantly. DO NOT harass them or force them into doing something they're not comfortable of, that's unfair and not tolerable. If we catch you, it'll be a warning the first time, then a suspension the second time.
- Lastly, have fun guys, but not too much fun ;D

Image and Name Rules! - Please don't have an avatar/icon any bigger than 100 x 100. We would prefer that you use a more anime related icon, but you can use anything else.
- Your signature images may be any length so long as they're not so wide that they stretch the page. If your signature does so, we will PM you to ask that you choose a different picture or readjust the size. If you don't know how, please contact our admin, Eryn Elric, and she'd be more than happy to adjust it for you ^_^
- We ask that your icon and/or avatar has a picture of your character, and have this for all your characters please! If you need help to put one in, please contact one of the staff members and we will help you.
- You may decorate your name anyway you want as long as we can read it. Like say if your character's name is Sarah and you wanted to be called that but wanted to decorate it this is how you CAN and CANNOT do it.
$@r@h
~NONE of this, please! This is far too hard to read.
<3 Sarah
~This would be fine, sorry my keyboard doesn't have the solid shapes you can create.

Chat Box Rules!~ - No spamming in the chat box, please!! You can post links, images, and videos in the box. Just make sure they're appropriate please ^_^
- DO NOT pretend to be somebody else online! We don't need any misguidance...and we most certainly don't need any liars. ONLY FAI CAN DO THAT! xD
- ABSOLUTELY NO RACISM OR HOMOPHOBIC SLURS IN THE CHAT BOX!! Like on this site, we take this {Tainted} very seriously, guys! It's nice to have a laugh every once in a while, but not in an insulting way. Also, if anyone feels uncomfortable or offended, not only should they speak up, but everyone should knock it off when it has been brought to attention that it has made someone uncomfortable. If we catch you the first time it's a warning, second time it's a ban! Note: If one of the staff members is not online when this happens, please notify them immediately through PM.
- NO REPEATEDLY SEXIST COMMENTS!!! Every once in a while is okay for laughs and giggles but PLEASE take into consideration some people don't approve of that stuff. If someone asks you to stop, then stop and drop it. If you repeatedly keep talking about it we will suspend you from the chat box for a long amount of time. Note: If not one of the staff members are online and this happens please notify one of them and we'll take care of it.
- Cussing/Cursing is allowed in the chat box. Please try not to make it too constant or unreasonable ^_^;; Especially if you're mad <.<
- Be nice and respectful to everyone!! INCLUDING THE GUESTS!!
