Main Rules

The Main Rules of Darkest Dawn


_______________________________________________________________


Rule 1: You can't start to role play until your character is accepted. We will reply to your character profile as soon as possible to tell you if you are accepted or if you need some more work. If nobody checks it within 3 days, contact a staff member yourself.

Rule 2: Since we can use the same character in multiple threads, I have decided to make a timeline thread. Basically, you make a thread for a character and place what the dates the threads he is in take place. That way we don't get confused. Also, you can only make threads current between January 1st of 2411 to March 31st 2411. Once the month changes to April you can make threads taking place during the month of April. If it's earlier then that, you have to make a past RP. If it's later, that's a future RP and you can only foreshadow things.

Rule 3: If you wanna have your character effect the DBD/Canon storyline, contact a staff member, who will refer the case to someone higher or more experienced. While limited, it is not entirely impossible for YOU to have the next main villain.

Rule 4: Respect all the members of the site and no excessive fighting amongst each other. If I see any of this you might be kicked, banned or blacklisted from the site. Although this is not avoidable... really isn't...keep it to a minimum. If it gets out of hand, contact a staff member or try to resolve the issue. If other people are fighting, butting in and trying to stop them doesnt always help, leave it to the staff.

Rule 5: There is no Godmoding or perfect characters[Mary Sue/Gary Stu], as well as Metagaming! No one is perfect so everyone has flaws although they might not always be visible. Ichigo isn't perfect because he doesn't always win on the first try. aEven against weaker characters, you more likely than not will get hit at some point.

Rule 6: Be active, if not you'll lose your rank, unless you post in the Leave of Absence Board or tell a Mod/Admin. You must have a really good reason like your computer broke down or something. School is also a good reason, and can be an excuse to be less active than usual.

Rule 7: The fastest characters on the site are the fastest for a reason. They tend not to be as gifted in other fighting techniques, though characters like Yoruichi tend to be very well-rounded. To be as fast as Yoruichi, or know Shunko, you must contact an admin and get permission.

Rule 8: Sex: Is allowed, but if you are going to use it make sure you put it in the mature board since not everyone wishes to read such things.

Rule 9: You can't kill a character without asking the character holder permission first. The only time you can do this is when an event is in place and you kill them there. But, even then, you must fill out a Death Application so everything is processed. You may also use the Death Application in a non-event thread if the reason is good enough and gets staff approval. Sometimes certain characters may be killed off in order to avoid strife.

Rule 10: So nobody has too many canon (characters made by Tite Kubo), each person is limited to 4 canon characters each. This is to keep a single person from taking a large portion of canons, so others cant have them. Also, a single person may not have more than 3 canon captains at once OR 3 canon Espada at once, as to prevent control over an org by one person. Also, characters like Lilynette automatically go with the owner of their equivalent of Starrk, and dont count as a canon.

Rule 11: If you have a problem with "Drama" or "negative elements", speak with a staff member. When the staff member hears it, they'll refer to the proper channels to resolve the issue peacefully. Remember that cooperation is in everyone's best interest and will lead to their best time here!

Rule 12: Toxicity is NOT alright. If you feel passive-aggressiveness towards another person, please bring it into a public place with a mediator and have it resolved as soon as possible. That will do nothing but bring problems that could hopefully otherwise be resolved. We're all mature here, and we should be expected to act like it.
