►GENERAL RULES
1. Respect each other.
I don't feel this needs to be explained, but if it does, expect a personal message from yours truly.
If you feel you’re being disrespect, please follow this process:
1) Privately address your harasser. Sometimes they simply aren’t aware it bothered anyone.
2) If it continues, or they get nasty, contact a staff member, preferably someone online at the time.
3) Give us at least three days to settle the issue and get back with you on it.
**Sub-rule of Respect:
If anyone has any particular triggers which bother them, we're going to request that they not be mentioned in the general area of the site. A trigger is something which causes others to feel uncomfortable. These are not allowed to be mentioned in mod threads; in casual threads, they require a title which has "!" somewhere within so those who don't wish to be triggered can avoid mention.
1) Homestuck. Graphics in signatures and profiles are banned, as well as face claims with such.
2) Self-harm in detail. Graphics in signatures and profiles are banned; if you must use this concept, please use it tactfully and not as an "accessory" illness.
2. No power-playing or such.
Your character is neither nigh invulnerable nor are you able to control other's characters, unless the plot allows for it or you are given express consent.
3. Try to keep the roleplay PG-13. If darker, more mature, or simply more raunchy material must be roleplayed or discussed, please take it to PMs.
4. Concerning threads.
You are allowed to be in as many casual (non-modded) threads as you please.
At this point in time, each member is allowed one modded thread; modded threads are almost exclusively encounters or your character seeking items, perhaps both in the same thread. Make sure to put mod in the title if you're expecting one to post.
5. If your character starts off with a team, please read this section.
While the levels of each team will be judged on a case by case basis, please use sound reasoning. Unless your ten-year-old character is some sort of prodigy (or overly enthusiastic), they're not going to have a level fifty anything. That being said, pre-made team restrictions* are as follows...
For humans/gijinkas age 6 through 11, they are allowed one pokemon.
At age 12-16, a human/gijinka can have three pokemon.
Humans age 17-24 may have six pokemon; gijinkas may have five.
Humans age 25-35 may have nine pokemon (this means you are required to get a base as soon as you get off the beach); gijinka may have eight pokemon.
Humans age 36-46 may have twelve pokemon (again, a base is absolutely required as soon as your character gets off the beach); gijinka may have eight pokemon, again.
Humans and gijinka over the age of 47 may have eighteen or more pokemon.
*Further notes: characters over 17 are allowed to have pseudo-legendaries and their pre-evolutions right off the bat. Their basic evolutions are still, however, available to characters under this age. Try to have younger characters with basic evolutions; keep it reasonable! Also, each character, regardless of age, may start off with a "companion" pokemon; this pokemon cannot under any circumstances battle. They are strictly there to aid the character outside of battle.
6. You may start off with pokeballs but
cannot be more than 20 and cannot be anything but your average pokeball. We see you trying to get away with 20 ultraballs, someone is going to get hit.
I don't feel this needs to be explained, but if it does, expect a personal message from yours truly.
