Hello, and welcome to To Pokemon Seivaa, a Pokemon Site. Though we have Canons, The story does not revolve around them. Below are the simple rules of the site:
Basics
- If you are inactive for four weeks, then your account will be deleted and your character archived. This is not permanent, and inactiveness is expected from time to time, even from the most ardent writers. However, if you are going to be inactive, please notify the Admins so that your account is not deleted. If your character has been archived, let us know, and we will endeavor to give them back to you.
- There is no character limit on this site. Yes, you may have twenty characters, but they ALL have to be active. None of this 'I'm on with one character, so I'm on with all of them' crap. Every character must have a separate account, so that if one goes inactive, it will be archived.
- This is a PG-13 site. Romance and violence are okay, but get anywhere in the mature range, and your thread has to fade to black and you can take the continuation elsewhere. Proboards has strict rules about this, so no sex, rape, blahblahblah. Killing another writers character is only permissible with EXPLICIT WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM THE OTHER WRITER!
Characters
- Your FC should be a manga/anime/video-game-that-looks-like-manga-or-anime character. Basically, if it's drawn in a japanese manga style, you're fine.
- Your character should not act too much like their Face Claim or too much like a character from the actual series (Unless Canon). Let's not be lazy here, people.
- Please make your characters realistic. If your character is younger, don't make him a psyenergy god, able to bend the laws of physics and the rules of the universe to his whim. That's just...wrong.
- We don't want any Mary Sues or Gary Stus. Nobody is perfect, no matter what you think. If you don't know what these are...go look them up, you really should have some idea.
- As mentioned above, you can have as many characters as you want, all on different accounts. THEY MUST, HOWEVER, ALL BE ACTIVE.
RPing
- No god-modding! If you are ever caught god-modding in a thread, especially in a battle one, you will be reprimanded sharply, and depending on the violation, the staff will decide your fate. A second violation will result in a ban.
- There's no minimum word count on this site. We hope you can at least achieve a minimum of 250. That isn't too much to ask is it? Just give the people you're writing with something to work with.
- Use good spelling and grammar. No chat-speak in posts please and spell things correctly. Spell check when you post. Easiest way to do this is copy paste into a word document... Boom, mistakes are highlighted. Be warned that certain people are grammar nazis, though the staff members (for the most part) are not, though we do expect a certain level of fluidity.
- Every so often there will be events which are limited to a certain group/guild or amount of people. If you don't get a chance at this said event, Don't be discouraged, You will get a chance soon, We try to make them all fair so everyone gets a chance at one!
