IC Rules
Rules you must follow when you are RPing or are in the RP Forum.
• No:
• OCs are allowed on the forum, but they are not allowed to use anything on the Banned Pokemon list.
• Any Pokemon that can alter perception of reality, i.e. make themselves look like something else, such as Zorua or Zoroark, are not allowed to turn into humans. It irks the moderators when that happens.
• Please do not make any direct relations to the canon characters that have a confirmed family.
• You are permitted to create characters that work for the many teams, but remember that they should support the ideals or CLEARLY STATE that they are rogue or questioning the ideals and should at the very least listen to their boss. (Rocket, Magma, Aqua, Galactic, and Plasma. [And soon to be Flare when Gen 6 comes out and we figure out their motive]).
• Just because your OC is not permitted to use Banned Pokemon does not mean that they cannot have had an encounter with them in their Backstory, however, this is a rare encounter, if it happens at all, so please keep it to one legendary. We also do not want to have a whole bunch of OCs who have had encounters with Arceus or something, so please keep this a rare thing. We will start denying apps for OCs if there are too many that have had a legendary encounter.
• You can only have 2 main/rival characters (From different regions) and 2 Misc/NPC characters, and the amount of OCs you may have is as much as you can handle. (This limit will be changed when the member count increases, please do not get angry at us for it.)
• NO MARY-SUE/GARY-STU'S. We do not want these types of characters on the forum, they're rather boring and not anybody will want to RP with them.
• Please put some variety into your OCs. You won't get in trouble for it or anything, but we'd like to see something different other than 'Jordan decided that he wanted to become a Pokemon Trainer when he was 10.' Perhaps you could make like a postman or a traveling shopkeeper? The possibilities for a Pokemon Trainer are endless!
• DO NOT join an RP without the permission of other people currently in an RP. That is rude and they might not wish for you to intrude. Unless the RP is OPEN, do not join it.
• The minimum word count for RPs is 130 words.
• No:
- POWERPLAYING: Taking control of another RPers character
- GODMODDING: Mary-Sue/Overpowered actions done by the character.
- FORCE OF HAND: Forcing another Rper to do something against their will.
- METAGAMING: Any action done by a character using knowledge they shouldn't know.
• OCs are allowed on the forum, but they are not allowed to use anything on the Banned Pokemon list.
• Any Pokemon that can alter perception of reality, i.e. make themselves look like something else, such as Zorua or Zoroark, are not allowed to turn into humans. It irks the moderators when that happens.
• Please do not make any direct relations to the canon characters that have a confirmed family.
- i.e. Making N a long lost sister he's never met before, or making Cheren have a brother whom he's never been acquainted with. Making an NPC like a random Team Rocket GRUNT a sister or brother is perfectly okay, though.
• You are permitted to create characters that work for the many teams, but remember that they should support the ideals or CLEARLY STATE that they are rogue or questioning the ideals and should at the very least listen to their boss.
