The Rules
You must read all of these rules before posting here. Failing to comply with these rules will result in the suspension of your account, or, if the offence is repeated, being permanently banned. As much as we do not want to weigh your freedom down, it is vital that these rules are placed in order to keep the roleplay running as smoothly as possible.
You must read all of these rules before posting here. Failing to comply with these rules will result in the suspension of your account, or, if the offence is repeated, being permanently banned. As much as we do not want to weigh your freedom down, it is vital that these rules are placed in order to keep the roleplay running as smoothly as possible.
General Rules:
> Respect other role-players, and treat others like you want to be treated. We do not want any mood dampeners on this forum. Do not abuse this rule.
> You are given five character slots in total. You are allowed to take two canon characters maximum (minors and supporting characters do not count)!
> This RP is told in the past tense and in third person. Please post with this criterion. If you are roleplaying multiple characters in one post, you still must post in the third person. This is to stop any confusion when others are reading your posts.
> Do NOT use script format.
> We discourage one lined posts. Please write in some detail at the very least.
> Don't be afraid of staff members! Please do not hesitate to ask myself (Sophitia Alexandra, admin) any questions at all about the Roleplay! Roleplaying is a difficult concept to grasp when you are completely new to the matter. This is where our beginner's guide comes in!
> We are very strictly against the use of godmodding and powerplaying. People who are guilty of godmodding are the equivalent of rage-quitters, button mashers and spammers in game and online. Your characters are not invincible! Whilst keeping this in mind, please read the full set of rules about godmodding in the 'Battle Scene Rules' below.
Roleplay Rules
> Your character can only be in ONE place at a time in canon. They can be in any one of these places:
o Europe
o Asia
o International
o Astral Chaos*
If you want your character to move from one place to the next, your last post must describe your character leaving that particular place before starting a new thread elsewhere.
You can post your characters anywhere and as often as you like in the 'AU/OOC' section. Feel free to post as much as you please in there!
*Please see the section entitled 'Astral Chaos Rules' below or in the Astral Chaos board for further information on posting in Astral Chaos. Do not post in Astral Chaos without reading these rules.
> There are four types of characters available.
o Canon Characters: These are characters made by Namco and Project Soul. Examples of Canon Characters are Sophitia, Siegfried and Nightmare.
o Original Characters: These are characters of your own creation, and are not made by Namco and Project Soul. These characters are spawned from your imagination!
o Supporting Canon Characters: These are characters made by Namco and Project Soul, however these are ones that do not often appear in the series. Examples of Supporting Canon Characters are Olcadan, Edge Master and Chie.
o Minor Canon Characters: These are characters who are children at this stage in history, and appear in Soul Calibur V. These include Pyrrha, Patroklos, etc.
> You are allowed a maximum of FIVE characters in total:
o 1 Canon Character, + 4 Original Characters OR
o 2 Canon Characters + 3 Original Characters OR
o 5 Original Characters
Minor characters do not count in this system.
> You must ask permission from the user before relating your character to another character. If they decline however, you must change my profile accordingly. E.g, if I wanted Sophitia to be related to Taki, I must ask permission off Taki's user in order for me to add this to my profile.
Battle Scene Rules
> We do NOT tolerate any form of godmodding and powerplaying here. If you are guilty of either of these, you are subject to a warning, or, depending on the offence, a ban. Please do not abuse this rule.
> If you own a canon character which ultimately relies on the uses of magic to fight, such as Algol, your battle scenes will be closely moderated by myself to ensure that you do not use the magic to an advantage.
> Original Characters (or Canon Characters that possess mild magic abilities) are no longer able to use magic in battle.
> You must NOT KILL. The opponent or yourself can only be 'defeated' and have your soul drained.
> Your character and their weapon are NOT invincible! Please take hits! Everyone has a weakness, even the Soul Swords.
> Your character and the opponent can bleed, but please do not cut off limbs, etc. Please do not make your posts extremely gory (blood fountains). You may do so in AU/OOC, providing you use the whisper tag.
> ALL characters must be over fourteen (14) years old to be wielding a weapon. They CANNOT fight if they are under this age.
Astral Chaos Rules
Astral Chaos is the dimension in which your characters can access to bring back lost loved ones, retain their age, and go back in time or to the future. However, there are limits to this.
> You are only allowed access into Astral Chaos if your character has encountered Soul Calibur or Soul Edge in their human forms. Those who have wielded Soul Calibur or Soul Edge in the past must find either of them again in order to travel through the Astral Chaos.
> Both Canon Characters and Original Characters can travel into Astral Chaos if they have met Soul Calibur or Soul Edge.
> Your character can meet either of the swords to gain access. They do not have to visit both.
> You must NOT post there if you haven’t encountered either of the Soul Swords. If you have done so, your post will vanish into the voids!
> Upon your character meeting either of the swords, they must have a valid reason as to why they would like to travel into the Astral Chaos. ‘Wanting to see what is in there’ is not a valid reason.
> Do NOT immediately start your plot with your character meeting Soul Calibur or Soul Edge. Your plot must progress, meeting new characters, etc, etc, in order to for them to finally find either of the swords.
Rules are subject to change, and to be altered, and added to. Updates to these rules will be informed to members via the 'News' section. Please follow all of the rules in this roleplay. If you are looking for further elaboration, please do not hesitate to speak with me! Thank you for reading.
