((School Attitude))
Let us begin with the basic etiquette:
0. When signing up, please follow this template: LAST NAME FIRST NAME
1. Respect everyone. This includes teachers, elders, NPC's, other rpers, mods and admins respecting other people. Abuse will be sued and punished.
2. Listen to admins and mods. If they are being unreasonable, then PM Madam Red or King Gabriel. They will handle the situation.
3. Get your application approved first before you go rp-ing.
4. No god modding or being cheap. Also, be realistic. It is not because you got superpowers that you are capable of everything.
5. Be somewhat regular. Appearing for a day and than disappear for a month is not cool. If you have an issue, post it in the announcements along with some idea you'd have of the time you'd be gone.
6. Try to keep your posts and topics clean from grammar and spelling faults along with overly colored/bolded/whatever else text.
7. Do not run in the hallways.
8. Do not copy stuff off from another. That's so not cool.
9. Do not cyber or do anything nasty. This site is rated PG-13. We allow: Bloody violence, language and relationships.
10. There is a limit of characters you can have per person. And that limit is four. No exceptions accepted.
11. You can use an original anime/manga character as your basic model. But simple copy and paste (also called plagiarize) is forbidden.
12. Have fun.
Now, the school's hierarchy:
1. The Co-Headmasters, Madam Red and King Gabriel.
2. The Artist, Zenat.
3. The Moderators.
4. The Disciplinary Committee.
5. The Teachers.
((The RP Rules))
We all have at least heard the term once in our lives: "He/She/It is god modding!" or "OMG! He/She/It is OPed!"
Now, since not all of us what one or the other means, let us give you a short definition of the words "god modding" and "OP".
God modding/God mod:
A Godmodder would be someone who RP's like a God, aka thinks he/she/it can everything without any limits.
God modding is the act of the God mod.
OP:
OP means "Over Powered". I think it's self-explanatory.
Examples of god modding would be:
1. Auto-hitting.
2. Using an attack that your RP character is clearly not capable of yet.
3. Claiming to have something (bloodline, spell, race, character trait etc.) that you clearly and obviously cannot have or use.
4. Ignoring another person's post/attack.
5. Use common sense. A student doesn't get away after having insulted the teacher in the face.
6. When in character, try not to use faces like ^^ o.o xD too much. If you want to express a feeling, write it properly down.
7. When you are RPing and say you have to do something irl. DON'T just say it! Use parentheses () or [] and say OOC. OOC means Out Of Character. This is so people know you aren't in character and you're just chatting.

Be descriptive. The more descriptive your post is the better.
Example:
Ai takes out two kunai and points them at the enemy ahead of her. "You end here." In an instant, she runs towards her enemy swinging both kunai rapidly in front of her as she prepares to take a slash at him/her.
You don't have to type like that you can use your action marks.. *~([.. w/e works. Just make sure it's descriptive and easy to understand. We don't want to see posts like this:
*runs up and slashes his head off before he can even move* HA so thats how its gonna end huh? <--- MAJOR god modding.
With finishers you can auto-hit, but both have to agree on the outcome or it has to try and be dodged/blocked. If disagreed upon, pm a mod/admin and a teacher to handle the fight outcome. They will determine who wins/loses.
When battling: You are given 2 days to reply to a battle. If not, you forfeit. This is so battles don't die and the other person is never declared winner.
What person to use:
This is a pretty obvious thing, but I have seen some pretty strange stuff. When role playing, only post in third person limited to your character. What does this mean? It means you should type this... "Shawn ran across the building, trying her best to get away from the man chasing her." Not this: "i ran across the building, trying my hardest to outrun the man behind me." Anyone who breaks that rule will be forced to retype all of it's posts.
Spelling, Grammar, Punctuation:
Please, my dear rpers, use at least a spelling check. That is the minimum. Checking if your grammar and punctuation are correct too is a nice plus and makes rp-ing for the others also more fun.
Also, do not use sms language. That's just ugly and not everyone can read it. People who do use it will be banned for a day.
Post Length:
This site does not have a word count, but we do not accept one liners. We want at least a single paragraph (which should be long of at least 8 lines for those who don't know). Also if someone typed up a 700 word post and you only give them a paragraph or two the staff will go into the thread and remove your post. Please try and be considerate to the other members took there time doing there thread.

((Graphics))
First off, do not steal any graphics from any artist. If I happen to find a complaint somewhere that this has happened, I will confront you about it. If you simply forgot that's okay, but if you did it knowing what you were doing, I will suspend your account for one day.
All icons should be 100x100, no bigger, no less. That way everything will be unison.
Any and all signatures can be no bigger than 500x300. thus meaning, the width of your signature can not exceed 500 pixels. And the height of your signature may not exceed 300 pixels. Anywhere within that range however is perfectly fine.
-oOo-
((Chat-box Etiquette))
First and foremost, I will not tolerate any spamming of the c-box. It is there simply for communication purposes. I can and will take it off if need be, but I hope it never comes to that.
Be nice to other members. I know some people are sworn enemies of some sort, but keep your fights out of the chat-box. The rest of the world doesn't need to know you hate each other..
Absolutely no advertising. If I see it happened, I will suspend your account for a day. I see it happen again, I'll suspend it for three days. Finally, if you do it a third time, you'll be banned.
You may welcome guests to the site, but don't scare the living day lights out of them. Just give a kind greeting, if they reply go ahead and chat. If not, don't pester them. Because doing so is just not cool.
Guests, you are more than welcome to use our c-box. but do not spam it, don't advertise in it and please, don't bash the site or our members. We take pride in being part of this site and we hope you will too.
Any guests i see bashing the site or our members will be IP banned. And yes, we admins can do that.

And finally, after all this yammering and whining about the rules, please remember one last thing: Enjoy your stay and rping here~
- Yours truly,
The Staff
