Site Rules & Regulations

General Rules

-No Godmodding. Godmodding includes things such as being invincible to all attacks or creating an indestructible weapon/armor or starting out as the most powerful on the site when everyone starts on the same level and progress upward. Godmodding is, in short, breaking the common rules of fair play. There are different types of Godmodding as well which are auto-hitting, metagaming and power playing. Performing any of which is a violation of the rules.

• Autohitting is when you decide whether or not your attack is going to hit the opponent and how it is going to hit them (even just deciding that it hits still constitutes as an autohit).
  
• Metagaming is where you as a person give your character knowledge they would not have access too. Say other people are in a topic and said something just because you know it does not mean that your character knows it. This even means knowing the name to people's characters despite no one having told you whether it be that character themselves or another one.
  
• Power playing is where a person blocks or dodges every single attack that comes their way as if it was nothing or being able to take every hit thrown at them as if it dealt no damage at all.

-No Spamming or Flaming.

• Spamming is when you are posting frequent unnecessary topics or comments to increase your post count, as well as posting more than once in a row (e.g. double posting). You will be warned, and if there is a continual breaking of this rule, you will be punished.
  
• Flaming is basically arguing with someone back and forth while also insulting them. If you are going to flame someone then don't do it in a post. Do it in a Private Message (PM) because no one needs to bring other people into a personal problem you may have with someone. Now if there is abuse or harassment then let an Administrator or member of the staff know. Having a civil argument even if passionate does not constitute as flaming unless insults are being thrown at a person directly in attempt to undermine or insult them.

-You are limited to RPing 6 topics.
-Unless specified otherwise in the topic title the topic is open.
-You are not allowed to create topics that say, "(Open except for so-and-so)".
-You are limited to 1 account and 1 character per account. No exceptions.
-Switching accounts is allowed but the action must be approved by the Owner of the site before the action is taken.
-If you have a relative using the same computer and IP address you will have to provide proof of their existence before they are allowed to use their account to RP on the site. The terms of proof will be discussed when the situation arises.
-Do not used the unapproved. If it has not been approved then you are not allowed to use it. You are also not allowed to use something in a topic that has been posted up for approval after you first started/joined the topic. Exiting and rejoining a topic will not be a valid excuse to get around this rule.
-Use the appropriate templates when posting in the forum where it was intended to be used.

-Notes on The Source

• Any form of The Source must use an interval of five. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and other numbers that do not reach this requirement are not approvable.
  
• When casting anything in an RP topic link what was used and subtract the appropriate amount of Source from your total Synchronization.
  
• You can create things that cost more connectivity to The Source than you currently have but you cannot use them until you have the appropriate amount.

-The site is Rated M meaning we do allow explicit things to be RP'd. However, sex scenes are forbidden due to violating Forumotion's rules and regulations. You can merely, "Fade To Black".


Creation Rules


-Characters must be of the humanoid variety.
-You cannot choose to be a character based on an actual historical figure nor have a character have an experience with a historical figure that has existed. Although this takes place in a universe that all the same events happened we do not want people saying, “Oh, hey. Remember that time we hung out with Jesus/Hitler/Napoleon?” We don’t want people making up historical facts or potentially offending people with mention of such things. This includes canon characters of other dimensions (RP sites) that you must have linked. This is only void if you have actually had those experiences on an RP site and not in a made up portion of your history.
-Any special abilities for weapons must take up the appropriate slot.
-Characters who are blatant rip offs from any form of social media will be denied. Using pictures of such characters is acceptable but not when you copy the entire character.
-Any extra limbs would have to be made in their appropriate slots. This means no free third arms, third eyes, tails, wings and etc. However, these can go under your inheritance slot.

-Do not post multiple weapons or pieces of armor (unless full body armor that provides the same protection in all areas) in a single topic. Each weapon and piece of armor receives its own individual topic. This also extends to things such as Beats, Tempos, Rhythms, and Conducts.
-Weapons do not have any special abilities and are solely weapons unless you use the respective slot to give it whatever ability you wish it to have. However, that must be created separately.
-Guns and technology are fueled by Source. So if you have a gun then you will have to use Source in order to use it. Someone without the slot will not be able to use a gun if they were to steal it. The ammunition of the gun moves and does damage based on the amount of Source put into it. This will be discussed in topic.
-There are no multi-wielding requirements and you have access to it upon entering the site

-There are no reversal effects. This means no Beats and etc that make it so if someone is meant to burn something to the second degree they instead heal a second degree burn. Time reversal under proper circumstances is allowed since it doesn't change the effect of something intended.
-There are no absorption techniques that allow you to gain the amount of source someone else has. They can make a Beat that gives their own source away or a drain technique but that is all.
-No full freezing or full paralysis abilities.
-No freelance shapeshifting. If you are going to change your entire body it will take a Rhythm slot and you will only be able to change into that one thing.
-There are no type advantages when it comes to Beats. If a 10 SP fireball and a waterball of the same cost collide they would both dissipate and cancel each other out. If a 20 SP fireball and a 10 SP waterball collide the fireball would be weakened by the same amount that it would be weakened by if hit by a fireball that was worth 10 SP.
-You can have a single "passive" Conduct. A passive Conduct is a Conduct that you can use in RPs free of cost for noncombat purposes. When doing so then all post restrictions are null. The power and strength of the conduct is still kept intact but once combat ensues you must pay the cost to keep them in play. You must choose the passive Conduct preemptively and must wait 30 days until you can request changing which Conduct holds the passive ability.
