OVER ALL RULES
Rule One;; Listen to the Staff
I, the head admin, have chosen my staff with care. I have found only the best to be your staff because I want this site to be as fair and as fun as possible. Please listen to the staff because they have been chosen for your safety. What they say, goes. They do a lot to keep this place running. This is one of the most important rules there is.
Rule Two;; Don't cause drama!
Another very important rule. This site is meant to have fun on and to be enjoyable. I don't want fights started or Drama to take over my site. I get enough of it in real life and I'm sure you do to. Also, about dating, please keep it off the site, that also starts drama and makes even more of that for us. If you need to talk about something or need to yell at someone just to yell then please pm me or my Co-admin. Leave my mini-admin out of it.
Rule Three;; Be respectful to everyone
I cannot stress this enough. Respect is important to everyone and if you can respect other people then you yourself deserve respect. However, if you can't respect other people then you don't deserve respect in return. Please, even if the person is being a jerk try your best to deal with them kindly. Because that could easily become a fight and that goes against rule two.
Rule Four;; Keep it pg 13
I don't want any sexual contact that goes beyond the general kissing. If it begins to go past that, please fade out and don't continue. I don't want this site to be deleted because a sexual thread was found. Also, we as staff will be looking out for that. As for violence I don't want it to be too gory. If it gets to be that way, then staff will give a warning.
Rule Five;; Absolutely no power playing
It gets awfully annoying when people make their own characters almost impossible to defeat or perfect in every way, because we all know that this is not possible in real life. Never. Everyone has problems and everyone makes mistakes. We won't even go any deeper into that issue. If we find you power playing we are going to have to ask you to take a lesson in the schooling thread on Powerplaying.
Rule Six;; Role play style
When it comes to roleplaying a normal scene without any fighting you should roleplay in third person in a closed style role-play. Which means, you play your own character and cannot touch the other person's character. You leave their side completely open to however they wish to respond. Please don't God-mod in normal threads. Because honestly, how would you like it if the other person made your character respond to theirs but thats not how you think your character would respond? And who knows your character better then you do? No one. So please don't take that chance away from other people. Fighting is a different matter, but that will come later on in the Character rules.
Rule Seven;; Mini-mod yourself, not others
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it if someone told you that you did something wrong even though you didn't know you did it wrong. And then you find out that that person isn't staff. How would you feel? If you don't like feeling like that, then other people won't either. If you find something that you don't like, or goes against the rules of the site, please let the staff know and we will deal with it as we see fit.
Rule Eight;; Profanity to a minimum
We will try not to restrict you too much on this subject, but we ask you not to speak cuss words after every other word. Once in a while is fine with us, but we don't want to much of it. If a staff member tells you to let up on your cussing, please do so.
Rule Nine;; Cut the spamming
No double posting guys. If you have more to say, just modify your post. Its so much easier and neater. Spamming just makes the site and the threads messy and unprofessional.
Rule Ten;; Stealing is a crime!
Most of the codes on this site, do not belong to me, their names are in the credits if your wondering, and so if you steal them I'm going to have to report you to them and you can deal with their wrath. But I do have some codes, like the board and thread lists and most of the template codes belong to me. I will not be happy if you steal those without my permission. Please just ask. If you decide to steal from any of the characters, Plot, or rules/other stuff, I, XXSPADE, will personally delete your account right off the bat and then I will find you in real life and tie you in a tree hanging by your big toes wearing a pink tutu and I don't care if your a guy or other.

CHARACTER RULES
Rule One;; One Character per Account
Each character is going to get their own account. This is so that we can keep the site clean from clutter. If you stop using a character we will put away the character bio in an archive area that will be under your name and a password of your choice so that people don't steal it. Then you can get that information whenever you'd like to. A good idea would also be to save the bio on your computer in a word document. We will also be doing this just incase something crashes and we can't get the information back up. If this does happen, you can find me on proboards support as the username of XXSPADE.
Also, you are allowed one OOC account to keep records on and to talk to everyone without having to use your IC account. This account can be called whatever you like.
Rule Two;; No Mary Sue or Gary Stu's
Its no fun to play with a perfect character. Then there is no character development or any chance of servival and there isn't much of a roleplay there cause then the perfect character always wins and never gives anyone else a chance. They are also very God-mod and thats already against the rules.
Rule Three;; Be as realistic as possible
You know how sometimes some people like to say how everyone important in their character's life has died and thats why they have so much pain inside? Come on guys, don't do that. Thats not even realistic. I mean if your parents die, and then your uncle who's caring for you dies, and then your sister dies from cancer and your Brother falls off a cliff, and your best friend gets crushed under a rock, we're not even talking realistic anymore. If your parents die and leave you to live with your uncle, then thats a more realistic outcome than the one above. Please try to stay as realistic as possible. This is a kingdom hearts site, though, so you can be a little bit more creative about what happens to your character anyway. Just don't make it to weird.
Rule Four;; Canon characters
For now we are going to have it to where you have to make one original character before you can start roleplaying canon characters. This is because specific canon characters are important to the site plot. You also have to put your one character into at least one thread with another character. Once you can make your canon then you are going to have to audition for them and there is going to be a thread for important plot canons. Some are more important than others and may be a bit harder to get ahold of. You are allowed to have two canon spots unless you buy another slot. All canons are open to play except Mickey, Sora, Zexion, Riku, and Roxas.
Rule Five;; Another Universe Canon
These canons are people from another universe or from other shows/books/movies/games/ect. To roleplay one of these characters you are going to have to audition for them also, because I need to know that they are not being stolen from a show, but rather used as your own. So, to do that your going to have to use the audition form that is provided. Please be honest about this. This area is a little bit more free so you don't have to lie about it. You are allowed only one AU canon, unless you buy another one. If a canon's playby is being used, then you cannot make this AU Canon.
Rule Six;; Face claim
We currently have no limit to what kind of face claim you can come up with. If you like using Anime face claim go ahead. If you would like to use celebrity face claim, fine by me. If you like to draw, as long as your drawing is recognizable and we can actually see the just of what your character looks like then be my guest to draw your character. This may or may not change in the future.
Rule Seven;; 5 Characters max
I don't know how well you can keep track of five characters, but it's still difficult for me. I can't keep up with so many different roleplays that my head is spinning just trying to post to one and then have to deal with another. If you can, try to keep your characters at 5 max. Then you won't be hopping around quickly because you don't have enough time to reply to everything. This includes 2 canon spots and 1 AU canon spot if you wish.

ROLEPLAY RULES
Rule One;; Character Deaths
You are not allow to kill another person's character unless it is alright with that person AND with someone in the staff. Becuase, the staff could have decided that this character was important to the plot. If you yourself would like to kill off your character, let the staff know before you do. If you would like to abandon your character because you cannot roleplay them anymore or have absolutely no muse for them, please let the staff know and we will set you up with an adoption thread. If you have a canon character that you would like to get rid of, please let the staff know. Unless the canon is to die in the plot we would appreciate them being alive. So if you cannot role-play them any longer, please let someone else get the chance.
Rule Two;; Character Development
Yes, this is a rule if you were wondering. Character Development [CD] is very important to roleplaying and a good story. Though, its not like we're going to ban you for not having CD. It just makes roleplaying with you a lot funner. If your character changes throughout the story, it makes everything all the better. But it needs to be over a long period of time. Not over a couple of seconds or days. A personality changes because of things that happens around the person, not just out of no where.
Rule Three;; Getting Pregnant//Marriage
Please keep these to the very minimum. If you are going to have a character get pregnant or a couple get married, first speak to the staff about this. About who and why. Then, please speak to the other person involved to find out what they think.

CHAT-BOX RULES
Rule One;; Don't Mini-Mod
I'm pretty sure that we already discussed this in the Over all rules, but I'm going to repeat multiple Over All Rules in the Chat-box Rules. If Someone does something in the chat-box, please allow staff to deal with it. If there are no staff in the c-box at the current moment, depending on the situation, if it's not that bad then don't worry about it and report it to a staff member later. If its one of the worse offenses then feel free to let them know. However, don't allow it to turn into a fight. If they don't stop, then ignore them.
Rule Two;; Don't cause drama!
Another one of the rules that I've already put into the overall rules, but once again, please don't cause Drama, if you need someone to talk to, you are more than welcome to pm me or my co-admin. Please don't involve my Mini-admin.
Rule Three;; No Advertising
I understand that you would like to have people come to see your site, just as much as I would like to see people come see my site. However, the advertising is meant to be used in the advertising board. Even if your just showing your friend your site or something, please pm them. Don't go pming people to join your site. If I find out that you are pming people your site link you will get banned for a week from the c-box.
Rule Four;; Try not to Spam
Spamming in the c-box is when you send in like four random posts at a time that don't mean anything. We probably won't get on your back too much when you spam in the c-box, because we do it ourselves. But try to keep it to a minimum.
Rule Five;; Identity Theft
Come on guys, No taking someone else's identity. I wouldn't like it that much, even if it was a joke. It would be confusing and extremely obnoxious. I know that it'll be harder to do that on this c-box or profile accounts, but please try not to do it anyway.
Rule Six;; Begging Is Not Allowed
When it comes to your character bio or some kind of audition type thing you need to wait at least two days before you ask a staff about it. Also, if you need someone to respond to a post, please ask once and then wait until the next day to ask again. You don't need to be annoying or obnoxious to get someone to reply to your thread.
Rule Seven;; Profanity to a minimum
We will try not to restrict you too much on this subject, but we ask you not to speak cuss words after every other word. Once in a while is fine with us, but we don't want to much of it. If a staff member tells you to let up on your cussing, please do so. However, since this is a c-box and guests and perhaps even younger then 13 years may get on it, please use less language in the c-box then in the posts themselves.
