| By creating a character on this forum and using our chat box, you automatically agree to abide by our rules and by any staff decision related to these rules. Please click on each section and read the rules thoroughly before you submit anything.
- Common Rules:
1. Romantic activities are allowed to an extent. Do not post pornography within any topic. Such actions will result in deletion of the posts, and repeated offenses will result in a permanent ban from the forum.
2. Actions performed by ANYONE can be disputed by ANYONE. However, keep in mind that you should not enter an dispute without reason. If you are not related to the issue at hand, it is probably best to let others take care of it.
3. Rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks, or flaming attacks to any member are prohibited and will result in an immediate warning followed by a permanent ban of the offending member if such offenses continue.
- Game Rules:
1. All characters must act off of the character they were based off of or the original sheet that was approved. This in no way prohibits growth as a character, but this should happen logically according to your character's personality. If your character can't clone themselves, they can't be in more than one place at a time. Similarly, a character shouldn't be able to perform more than four actions in one post. Your posts must always be written in third person and should include actions, thoughts and speech of your character which are easily recognizable.
2. There can be NO GODMODDING OR METAGAMING of any sort performed by any character, nor can a character be created with any sort of unbreakable weapon or inescapable ability. This can include, but is not limited to: Describing another character's actions, thoughts, feelings or emotions, or performing actions that are outside of your character's range of abilities. Also, any rigging of Slaughter Points will be treated as godmodding and punished in the same way. Any breaking of this rule will result in an immediate warning followed by a permanent forum ban if it continues.
3. Any member who has not posted in an active thread within 72 hours without notifying a staff member or posting in the Arrivals & Departures section may be controlled by any other member of that thread.
4. Any character after said grace period of any race can kill or be killed. If a character is killed, the owner must report this death in the Obituaries section. If a player would like to dispute a kill or an action, they may post their dispute in the Disputes Board in the staff room. All disputes must include their reasons for the dispute and a copy of the original post for review.
- Character Registration Rules:
1. ALL new members may start out with no higher than a Category F vampire or its racial equivalent. Members who have been active on the site for two months or more may apply for characters with no higher than a Category D ranking with the same rules for disapproval. The abilities of your character may not be higher than that of the category you have chosen unless it is essential to a plot point previously approved by staff with conditions stated in the character sheet
2. Any characters under 16, crossovers or characters with extreme personalities will be met with some scrutiny and may be disapproved because of it. Plagiarism is not allowed and any offense will be given a warning and then an immediate ban if it persists.
3. No user may post on another person's character sheet with the exception of staff members once voting has started.
4. All users are allowed to play only four original characters at once. Users can, however, play as many canon characters as they would like. Canon characters do not count towards your four OC limit. If user is making a new character and it is approved, but already have four characters, they are allowed to write a character out to make space. To reward our loyal members, if you previously had a character on this forum who either died or was written out of the story, you are allowed a one time revive of that character. Simply post in the Registry section the name of the character to redeem this offer.
5. Special Humans are allowed powers and abilities unique to their specific character, different to any of the other races. For all humans without augmentation, "peak human" is generally defined as Category F vampire physical attributes. When creating an ability, think logically and be realistic. Explanation is key to having your skill approved. If you wish for your character's ability to "level up" with experience, include the various levels of your ability in your sheet, as well as the specifics on how you will move up the ranks.
- Group Registration Rules:
1. Group registry must be submitted to the staff through private message, including a short summary of the group's goals, origin, members interested in joining, etc. Please keep in mind that submitting a group does not necessarily mean that it will be approved. Normally, only one original group is accepted at a time. This is to prevent clutter and stretching thin of members, especially during a plot.
2. A minimum of four members must remain active at any time for a group to remain in play. If this number falls below four, the group is given two weeks to recruit enough members before it is disbanded.
3. A designated second in command must be selected from the group's members in case the leader becomes indisposed and is unable to lead for an extended period of time.
- Slaughter Points:
1. The number of kills/Official Missions must be recorded in your character's signature if you wish to benefit from the Slaughter Point system and each race ranks up differently from it. Each counter is reset to zero with each level up. Example: I kill one player to level up. After that I now need 3 players to enter the next level.
Vampire Slaughter Point System
Category F into Category D: 1 player kill/D.M. Mission
Category D into Category C: 3 player kills/D.M. Missions
Category C into Category B: 5 player kills/D.M. Missions
Category B into Category A: 7 player kills/D.M. Missions
Total: 16 player kills/D.M. Missions
Familiars
Upon reaching Category B, you can have one familiar for free.
Category B additional Familiar: 5 player kills/D.M. Missions
Category A additional Familiar: 4 player kills/D.M. Missions[/quote]
Lycan Slaughter Point System
Cub into Juvenile: 1 player kill/D.M. Mission
Juvenile into Youngling: 4 player kills/D.M. Missions
Youngling into Lycanthrope: 6 player kills/D.M. Missions
Lycanthrope into Mature Lycanthrope: 8 player kills/D.M. Missions
Total: 19 player kills/D.M. Missions
Cyborg Slaughter Point System
Beginner into Advanced: 2 player kills/D.M. Missions
Advanced into Armored: 4 player kills/D.M. Missions
Armored into Elite: 6 player kills/D.M. Missions
Overhaul: A cyborg can be redesigned and refitted with new parts to gain additional weaponry, upgrades, and even a new appearance for 4 player kills or D.M. Missions.
Iscariot Reputation System:
Regenerator Serum: Available at 5 player kills/D.M. Missions (to human members)
Holy Church Relic: Available at 5 player kills/D.M. Missions (to human members) or 7 player kills/D.M. Missions (to Regerators/special humans/Cyborgs)
Human Escape Card System:
Available only to human characters, upon amassing 3 legitimate player kills or D.M. Missions, the character shall receive a one time use escape card. This card can be used in order to save the character from what would normally be an inescapable situation that would lead to the character's death or severe injury. The card is a one time perk and must be earned once again by amassing another 3 player kills or D.M. Missions.
Artifact Quests:
For 5 Slaughter Points, an Artifact Quest can be requested in the appropriate board. These missions are harder than the norm; there is, as always, no guarantee of coming back alive, but also no guarantee you will receive the artifact if you do not fulfill the mission requirements while on the quest. If this happens, your 5 Slaughter Points will not be refunded.
- Mission System:
If an enemy (a large group of NPCs, a "big bad", etc.) is required, the staff account Dungeon Master can be requested for use.
- Missions exist under a tier system by difficulty, ranked by Easy - Normal - Hard.
- Easy ranked missions would be the equivalent of isolated threats that the organization in question needs removed, but the overall magnitude of the threat is very low. A single vampire or a pair of low ranked vampires, some heathen mercenaries disrupting operations, informants gone bad, wanting out, and offer up long-time secrets for amnesty. (Yields .5 Slaughter Point Per Completion)
- Normal ranked missions present a significant challenge in that there will be quite a few targets, all of which may be outright hostile and dangerous. (Yields 1 Slaughter Point Per Completion)
- Hard ranked missions would be the equivalent of a direct and immediate organized assault on organization's Base of Operations, with multiple armed opponents, and some possibly of a ... ahem ... mystical persuasion. Otherwise, significant threats that may endanger the organization, a large population center, or worse. (REQUIRES 5 PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED MISSIONS TO ATTEMPT! Yields 2 Slaughter Points Per Completion)
