Rules Store

These are in addition to the FEU forum rules. The moderation team (Crimea River, Kei, and Memento Mori) have the final say in everything, and may deviate from the rules if necessary. Major updates to rules will be announcements thread. These are the official, updated rules.

Out of Character

 * 1) Be respectful to other members, regardless of who they are. Don't be rude, and DO NOT discriminate. If you are having difficulty with someone, please inform a Roleplay Moderator or myself.
 * 2) Respect the decisions of the staff. Don't try to go behind their backs if you don't get what you want. They work hard to maintain the site and keep it enjoyable for the members. Don't feel afraid, though, to come to them for anything.
 * 3) No SPAMming. The only exception is the spam board.
 * 4) Do not link to, or post images of, pornographic, offensive, or illegal material.
 * 5) If you see someone breaking a rule, inform a member of the staff. They will take care of it. Don't try and handle it yourself.
 * 6) If you're going to be away for a while, let us know in the Leaving/Returning board of FEU.
 * 7) Do not ask to be a staff member. I decide who will become staff members when this site needs them. Asking to be one lowers your chances.
 * 8) DO NOT steal from this wiki or the RP. This includes writing and graphics. Alternatively, don't steal from other sites and use their work as your own on this RP.  (We will find out).  The exception to this is, of course, your stuff, such as a character of your creation that you made on another roleplay.

Roleplaying

 * 1) DO NOT start roleplaying until you have an APPROVED character!
 * 2) *For Nationals, this means the approval of the nation's respective leader. For example, if you create a Sable Knight, you'll need to get Mori's approval first. The exceptions are the lower-ranked (as in, the commoners). If so, just post them; if a moderator or leader has concerns they will post them.
 * 3) *For Independents, this means that you merely need to post the character or discuss them with a moderator.
 * 4) *See the character creation guide for more information.
 * 5) In writing as your character, past-tense, third-person is preferred, but not required. You can write in first-person or present-tense if you want to. Just don't keep switching back and forth between the two.
 * 6) Put dialog in "quotation marks." Put thought in italics or 'apostrophes'. Put telepathy and inter-mind discussion in.
 * 7) Keep a working timeline of roleplays your character has been in.
 * 8) The preferred amount of RP threads per character at one time is too. However, if you can manage your timelines and plotholes correctly, you may do one or two more as long as at most two are combat-related.
 * 9) Inferring that two characters had sex is allowed. Actually roleplaying out the sex is not. Do other members a courtesy and take your lemons (that is, sex roleplays) to IM or elsewhere, please. If a thread is borderline, put (M) in the title.
 * 10) Not everyone can write a massive post, and anyone on this site can also understand how difficult this is when you've got a dead muse or feel uncertain on your character's emotional responses to certain things. Thus, this roleplay does not have a minimum or maximum word requirement. Please, however, do not make one-line posts, and put as much thought into your posts as you can. That being said, you can of course make large posts if you want.
 * 11) Please check your grammar and spelling, and use it correctly to the best of your ability. If you need help with this, please let a member of the staff know. And also, if English isn't your first language, please inform people of this, or at least tell a member of the staff.
 * 12) No god-moding/bunnying without permission. God-moding/bunnying is the act of controlling another person's character, which includes having a character hit by a blow or blast, giving a character's emotional reaction, or simply taking complete control over the character's actions and reactions. If you're going to do it, get the permission of that character's player, and note that you have their permission in OOC. If not, don't do it.
 * 13) No character is invincible. Don't play them as if they are. All characters have their weaknesses and strengths.
 * 14) There are some things you may know, but your character won't. Make sure and distinguish between in- and out-of-character knowledge.
 * 15) Keep out-of-character (OOC) posts to a minimum. If you need to put an OOC comment in an RP post, please put it in parentheses or spoiler tags at the top or bottom of the roleplay post.
 * 16) Don't make people wait forever for you to post, but don't continuously hassle someone to post. Try and find a way to get everyone in the thread posting at a pace that they feel comfortable with. If there's some reason you cannot post for a while, let people NPC your character, or have him/her "disappear" for the duration of your leave. Make sure and inform members of the thread before disappearing.
 * 17) Don't use chatspeak in in-character posts. Don't use asterisks to denote action, IE *dances*
 * 18) People who make threads run those threads, unless otherwise stated. Don't take over their threads; contact them before railroading their plot.

Characters

 * 1) You cannot kill other people's original characters, and ask for permission before you kill their NPCs.
 * 2) There is no limit to the amount of characters you make. Only one Commander-ranked or higher character per person for now, however.
 * 3) If you wish to play a character related to a canon, you must get permission from a moderator. Be prepared with a good reason for it, however.
 * 4) Supports are merely for character development, and have four levels: C, B, A, S. Only one S-Rank support is allowed. With moderator permission, characters may start with supports if there is a good reason for it.
 * 5) High-ranking characters must be approved/denied by the leader of the nation in question. Characters unaffiliated with any nations have their own section though where they are posted must depend on where they reside - if they do.
