1) Every account should have a maximum of one character. In order to make an entirely new character, a new account must be created.

2) Characters made by the same user must not interact with one another. This is to prevent someone gaining levels on a character simply by training with themselves.

3) Any form of Goddmodding, such as Autohitting, Metagaming, and Godmodding in general, is not permitted.
• Autohitting is the act of performing an action without giving the other player a chance to respond. Essentially this means that if the person has not defended themselves yet, they still have to option to.
• Metagaming is a broad term usually used to define any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed rule set, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game. Another definition refers to the game universe outside of the game itself.
• Godmodding is in essence when someone’s character has the ability to do practically anything without limits or boundaries. This includes things like automatically dodging or connecting attacks, attacks or dodges with little to no explanation on how it was possible, mistakenly making a character more powerful than they actually are, being able to take any kind of attack and come out unharmed, and more along these lines.
This is in effect to deter some from gaining high positions of power while not giving any true effort.

4) Out of character (OOC) comments should be very clearly notified when talking as such. This usually comes in the form of parenthesis () or brackets []. Though you may use whatever method you desire. It must be clearly able to tell that you are speaking out of character. A sure-fire way to do such is to include ‘(OOC)’ with every out of character post.
5) Be kind to one another. Role-play is meant to be a fun experience that challenges the mind, not infuriates one. Although in-game, characters can have personalities that make them angry, or could be angry at another character, this is fine. However, this should not be taken out of character or into real life. There is a fine line between having fun and not having fun, so please try to stay on the nicer side.
Penalty:
6) Posts should be up to a moderate amount of words. One-liners are entirely frowned upon and should be rewritten.
Penalty:
7) Illegal, suggestive content, or other forms of word-based annoyance or advertisement is not allowed at all. This goes for advertising anything that could potentially cause someone harm or loss of money. It also goes for things such as spam and pointless messages.
Penalty:
8 ) Character designs and ideas must be approved of before usage. There will be areas for both of these, but role-play is not allowed with such characters until it is approved of.
Penalty:
9) All ends must be tied up for a character to leave a specific area. A character cannot just be in two places at once. You must finish up all of your posts in a single area before you may exit or leave the area. However, if the opposing force does not respond within 48 hours without a word of reason for the absence, then either the topic may be skipped over, or a hit may be allowed.
Penalty:
10) You must stay in-character at all times when not out of character. This includes actions such as personality, reasons for attacking, actions, et cetera. Your actions must have reasons, and you may not bring out of character reasons into character.
Penalty:
