General/Common Sense Rules
1. Respect other players. Be sure to get permission from the other player before you involve their character in an event; no godmodding will be tolerated.
2. Be IC with your characters, and IC =/= OOC. If two characters are fighting, that does not mean the players are fighting. The same things should hold true in reverse.
3. If you feel you have a problem with another player that you cannot resolve on your own, please request the mods to mediate. We will not tolerate harassment.
4. Do not break the Fourth Wall without permission. This means do not reference works of fiction to characters who are from said works of fiction unless the character already knows there are stories written about them. Example: Don't tell Guan Suo he's the fictional son of Guan Yu, but Sanzang is familiar with the Journey of the West and that other people know it, so speaking to her of it would be more acceptable. Make sure you have permission first regardless.
5. This is a multifandom game. That means any fandoms may apply. See the app FAQ for specific limitations and requirements. We currently do not accept OCs, but we will be opening up the ability to do so in time. You may app into this game with past RP memories. All fandoms must have an English translation or reference, so we can do the research when judging your app.
6. Players must be 16 in order to apply to this game, and all character journals, if you are below the age of 18, must be made with your actual birth date, as we will be requiring posts to be marked with 18+ content if they contain sexual or heavily violent content. All NC-17 posts will be locked to the community. Characters must be 16 to be involved in sexual content. Players found providing false information to access NC-17 content will be banned.
7. If two characters have significant canon CR they cannot be played by the same person. Anyone lying about their player information to bypass this rule will be banned. We do not outright bar a player from tagging themselves (as we cannot always predict when CR will overlap), but we encourage this to be kept at a minimum. Any thread between two characters played by the same player cannot count toward AC. And anyone abusing our leniency to manipulate other CR may be punished. (Ex: Using two characters to bully a third into doing something they shouldn't, which might force a player to play OOC to circumvent.)
8. Hiatuses must be announced on the official hiatus page in order to be valid. A post in the OOC community does not count toward a valid hiatus without special circumstances. We require that all players post their own hiatus, but we will grant exceptions provided there are special circumstances (loss of power, etc).
9. Activity checks will be determined based on the pace of the game, but will likely involve two proofs per month. A permanent AC page has been set up for keeping track of your activity, and it is up to the player to make sure they have listed enough activity before the monthly check on the 1st of the next month.
Setting Specific Rules
1. All events will have set guidelines to follow. Anyone abusing those guidelines may be penalized.
2. NPCs in the main camp are protected by the guards and cannot be killed or maimed without mod permission, as these NPCs serve specific purposes for the game. Nameless soldiers are free game, and they can be found all over the landscape. Animals can also be hunted for food. Exceptionally large animals or raid level bosses are not to be engaged outside of an event without prior mod approval. This includes any monsters brought into the setting by characters bringing bits of their canon in. If you are uncertain if you need mod permission, ask anyway.
3. Follow the World Building guidelines as to what is available in different zones. Players abusing the world building system to acquire items that "may have been" available to gain specific advantages may be penalized. If you are uncertain if an item is allowed, ask the mods.
4. Powers are allowed in-game, but some powers may be limited. If your powers are limited, you will be notified in your application. At the moment, we only intend to limit world-breaking abilities. If your character's powers interfere with another player's control of this character (possession, mind reading, etc), you must obtain permission from the other player to use them. On the reverse side, any player using their character to harass another character and intentionally avoiding IC consequences may be penalized as well. (Don't intentionally piss off Vegeta if you don't want a Final Flash to the face and then deny the Vegeta player the right to deliver it. IC actions will have IC consequences, and permission goes both ways. )
5. Characters without special powers may earn them through events, and may acquire weapon skills from NPCs or other players by joining up with a faction. (Example: The Takeda may provide cavalry training to all who join them.)
6. We are currently devising an award system to reward active players for their extra participation. You will be awarded coins for making double AC, and you will be able to use those coins to make OOC purchases. Purchases will include granting your character powers, lifting a lock on a current power (within reason), or even additional character slots.
7. There are no Private settings on the in-game network. If you need something private your character will have to send a written letter by courier or speak face-to-face. Everyone should have an OOC inbox on their journals for letters, but ICly, the courier will just be running up and handing it to them.
