RULES
OUT OF CHARACTER
- Lets Show Some Respect to This Person...; Respect one thing I'll advocate heavily for without it communities will not exist. Please respect others, yourself, and basically everyone. Yeah. Let's go with everyone. If you do not show respect to others, you'll be promptly kicked out the door.
- Listen To Your God(dess); Staff are elected for a reason. Me, or another staff member politely asks you to not do something listen to reason. If you believe what a staff member says is unfair, please talk to a staff member who you trust.
- We Have Many Faces...; We are a account per character site. So when you register; please use your character's name. Although there are exceptions, if you want to join the site but have no idea what your character will be called you'll be allowed to join under a OOC name until your character is created. Once you're character is created, please change your name to your character's name.
- Behold! I Am Actually a Zorua!; Do not impersonate as others, do not spam, troll or anything of the sort. If you are caught trolling someone you'll be banned. No questions, ifs, buts, or whys.
- We Only Speak Americano...; We appreciate if you speak to everyone in English. Since we're mainly a English speaking forum.
- When in Doubt, Ask Staff; We're here to help out, don't be afraid to ask!
RULES
POSTING
- We Keep Count; All though we have no word count, we ask that posts be a paragraph or more in length in order to give your roleplaying partner something to work with. We consider 5-7 sentences a paragraph.
- I Need An Adult; We understand that relationships happen, but we're a PG13 site. So please fade to black when things get a bit too saucy for child's eyes. If we go past the PG13 slot our site will get deleted.
- Basics; Keep in mind proboards rules, and the rules of conventional roleplay. No metagaming, no bunnying, etc.
- We Run On Liquid Time; I personally find semi-liquid time easier to follow and make sure everyone is role-playing. So we're going to run on semi-liquid time.
The following situations is when liquid time does not matter;
-When a character is injured in battle.
-When a character is courting a another character or caring for an egg.
-When a character finishes a dungeon with an injury. - It's Dangerous, Take This With You...; Each character is allowed ONE dungeon thread. Each dungeon thread you must post the following; Type, Moves, Abilities, Belly and HP.
- Be Warned; Death and injury will happen, when you're character gets injured it will take 3 threads for the injury to heal.
RULES
CHARACTER
- Limitations Are In Place; All characters in base stage that can still evolve, start with moves up to level 20. First stage pokemon that can still evolve start at with moves up to level 40. Final stage, and only stage pokemon can start with moves up to level 80. Canon roles can start with moves up to ten levels more than the normal character and are allowed one TM move. All character are also allowed one egg move.
- Rule of Thumb; Characters that are in base stage can be any age, but characters that start in first stage must be older than 15, while characters in second stage must be older than 35. Base stage pokemon will more often be younger than second stage pokemon unless they just decided that they do not want to evolve. Rattata will probably not live past ninety due to their short evolution pattern. A ghost or dragon pokemon could possibly be centuries old.
- Movesets; Here in NoStars we allow pokemon to have 6 moves to start, but as they level up they do not fully forget moves. They can easily be relearned during roleplay after replacing one move and a IC trip to the move tutor. We allow one egg move for each character, and an extra TM move for a canon roles. Egg moves and TM moves are not affected by the 'move forgetfulness' that comes with replacing moves, and can be relearned easily.
- Majestic, Celestial, Ethereal Legendary Pokemon; You are allowed to choose legendary pokemon as a character to roleplay as long as they are not banned from character creation. The legendaries that we allow you to choose from must have shown to have either the following; parents, multiples of their species or are able to breed. It must have solid evidence, either being the PMD games or the pokemon anime/movies. Legendaries that only have one of them, however, are only allowed vita auditions when they are needed for the site-wide plot. Please check character census in character creation thread for details.
- You Can Be A Sparkle; Here in NoStars, due to the radiation left by the meteors' dust it is easier for pokemon to be shiny. If you want your pokemon to be shiny, please note that only one free shiny pokemon is allowed per member at any given time. If you want more shiny pokemon, it can be bought at the site store for 10,000 Stardust pieces.
- We Don't Always Look The Same; Characters are allowed to have small details that make them look apart. It means they can have eyes that are unlike that of their species, they can have small accessories that serve no real purpose and it also means you can have a character with scars, tattoos, etc. When in doubt, ask staff!
- Currency; The currency for this site is called Stardust pieces. Stardust pieces is gained whenever you post in character, or start a roleplay thread. It is also won when you finish a dungeon along with the usual endbox loot. Stardust pieces can be used to buy items your pokemon needs for evolution, dungeons, basic necessities or more.
