One :: To start with, please try to be literate or at least semi-literate. This means try to use correct grammar, and capitals in the right places are loved. Also, when posting in a roleplay please do at least four sentences.
Two :: Before you post in a roleplay, your character must be accepted by at least two Kages.
Three :: For when you have been accepted: in the roleplay please have some way of differentiating from in character and out of character.
Four :: Please do not use quoting in your roleplay posts. It just looks ugly. D:
Five :: If you want more than one character, you may, but please create multiple accounts to do so.
Six :: If you have any questions at all about anything, please feel free to contact any of the Kages. They are likely to be able to help you. Either that or post it in the Q&A section.
Seven :: You may reserve a cannon character if you so wish. You will have a week to provide me with your profile for that character before they become unreserved again.
Eight :: Please do all in roleplay posts in third person. A.k.a., 'he said' rather than 'I said' (first person) or 'you said' (second person).
Nine :: Please keep active, and tell us if you’re going to be absent for more than two weeks.
Ten :: Please keep things PG-13. That means you can swear, but don’t go over the top please. Don’t do it when unnecessary, please.
Eleven :: Please be nice to everyone. Not all characters are going to be the same. Some will have different sexualities, some will be very effeminate guys or vice versa. Please be nice, if you don’t like it, don’t diss it, you’ll have to put up with it. You have simply no excuse for it in OOC.
Twelve :: Please listen to the Kages, we make the rules. If we say something to you about rule breaking, we have a reason.
Thirteen :: Please do not apply for a character in a village that does not currently have its Kage being roleplayed. We need people to apply for the Kages first, because then they can help to create their village roleplaying area. You are very welcome to apply for Kages and as members of villages which already have a Kage.
Fourteen :: When creating a Jinchuuriki for a Bijuu, please take into account that some of them have places the characters need to be from. This is:
Niibi - Konoha
Sanbi - Kiri
Yonbi - Anywhere
Gobi - Taki
Rokubi - Kumo
Hachibi - Anywhere
Shichibi - Iwa
Fifteen :: Please make your username something related to your character. This way it will be easy to distinguish who is who for everyone. This can be a character's name/nickname or anything else they may go by. You should have one account for each character, by the way, and the limit of characters you can have is determined by how active you are with all of them. If you don't post with one of them, either delete the character or don't make another one, seriously.
(NOTE :: When you first join, your name MAY be something unrelated, as long as you remember to change it when your character is created. We are also likely to remind you of it then.)
Sixteen :: If you are a Kage, can you please have your name in the format of 'VillageKage Name', such as 'HOkage TSUNADE' or 'KAZEkage GAARA'. There will be no exceptions to this.
Seventeen :: Godmoding - it's a tricky subject to touch on when it happens. Mainly because when someone godmodes and you tell them to stop it, they get really defensive and insist that they aren't. It's an 'in the eye of the beholder' thing. I know this may possibly seem unfair, but the rule we're going to make on this is: we're right. Keith, Maus and Fugi are the three main admins and if there's ever any doubt then it's us three that'll decide. If we say you're godmoding, we're right and either accept it gracefully and change your post(s) or deny it and accept the consequences. Whatever those are.
Eighteen :: The three main admins are the only ones that can accept characters. Keith, is the main admin of this. You are obviously free to comment on any profile but the admins are the only ones who can instruct change. You are not allowed to roleplay a character before they have been accepted by Keith. If he (or another admin) says there are any changes to be made, could you kindly make those changes, even if you think that they are ‘unreasonable’.
Nineteen :: NOT EVERY CHARACTER NEEDS A KEKKEI GENKAI. Please, Kekkei Genkai in the ninja world are RARE. This means there aren’t many of them. If your Kekkei Genkai is not crucial to your character, please do not have it. Also, Kekkei Genkai normally run in a family, so you will have to be part of a specific clan (Usually, there are a few exceptions to this) to have a Kekkei Genkai.
Twenty :: When creating a character, please take into account that Itachi, Tobi and Sasuke are the only Uchihas. There are no more. End of story. The Hyuuga clan is relatively small, so no additional Hyuugas, either. And DEFINITELY no Uchigas/Hyuchihas. This goes for basically any clan in Naruto. Most clans are too powerful to have many ninja of, and so therefore most clans do not exist unless specifically applied for and accepted in the clan creation board. Not all characters need to belong to a specific clan.
Twenty-One :: If you do have any sort of elemental powers, please make them suitable for your village. There are 5 elements: Wind, water, fire, earth and lightning. There are no people with more than one element, and no additional element, though chakra can be merged to form slightly different elements. Technically every ninja has an element, but not all ninja have elemental abilities.
The first one in each list is the main element of the land, and the elements that correspond with each village are:
Iwagakure – Earth. Some wind.
Sunagakure – Wind. Some fire.
Konohagakure – Fire. Some earth.
Kumogakure – Lightning. Some water.
Kirigakure – Water. Some wind. (Creates ice)
Takigakure – Water. Some earth. (Creates wood)
Amegakure – Water. Some lightning.
Kusagakure – Earth. Some wind.
Otogakure – Anything.
Twenty-Two :: Unless you have the permission of the person who controls the character, you may not kill off anyone’s characters, no matter how much you want to. But also, be reasonable when in a fight, as you are not all powerful and you cannot deflect/dodge everything.
~~There may be more to come~~
