Before you join, please read over all the rules and abide by them.


OOC

»Respect everyone on this forum. And include everybody. We want everybody at Sharayax to feel like family. <3

»Always obey the staff.

»No racist, sexist, discriminatory remarks are ever allowed.

»Don't spam the boards or the cbox. One word posting ICC is extremely annoying. If you are trying to post many times over and over in the same thread to improve your post count, consequences will be issued.

»Post threads in the proper boards. So, never post a calling for a mate in one of the lands. We have a place for that in the plotting board.

»Any time you are inactive, or are going away, you need to post in the absence board. If you do not, you risk losing your position.

»No porn pictures or anything that involves it; links, pictures, or words. It is disgusting and will not be tolerated.

»No negative comments or insults.

»Remember, OOC is entirely different from ICC. Do not hold grudges or stay mad at someone because of something they did during a roleplay. Even the most evil characters can be good people in real life.

»No going into other’s accounts, unless you had permission. That is called hacking, and is generally frowned upon by the public unless used for certain reasons--those do not exist here. Even with permission, it is not encouraged.

»If you want to advertise, do so in the appropriate board.

JOINING

»Make sure you create one account for each of your characters. This helps us stay organized.

»In regards to the above rule, please make sure your account name is the same as your Pokemon’s name. Also, edit the gender to fit. For example, if your character is a male named George, please make your account name ‘George’ and make the gender of your account ‘male’.

»First, always post your Biography!You can start roleplaying only after you've been accepted by a staff member. And for special roles, you'll need to make sure you audition for them first. (insert link for auditions)

»Unlike most rps, you may start as any level evolution you would like. Try not to go overboard with it. If we see the site overrun by third level evolutions only, we may put a ban on them. We want variety, here. ^^

»Be original with your character. Use your imagination!

»Remember, this is a wild Pokemon roleplay. Meaning you can only play as Pokemon and not humans. All Pokemon species are accepted, except for a few. The banned species list can be found here.

»Do NOT use ordinary names such as "Lucy, Bob, Spot, etc.". Again, be original!

»Please stay away from cliches! The 'I am so evil and have a black pelt' gets old. Be realistic.

»There is no limit to how many characters you make. However, please make sure you can keep track of all of them. If we notice you are having trouble with this, then we will suggest you consider putting some of them up for adoption.

»Please post as regularly as possible! We are not expecting any of our members to be online at all hours of the day, nor are we ordering members to post every single day of the week. Notify staff or post in the away board if you will be absent for an extended period of time or you may risk losing your account.

»If you have any questions or suggestions concerning the forums, please do not hesitate to approach a staff member. We will be more than happy to help and listen to you. We love hearing your ideas! :3

ICC

»Please, no god- moding or power- playing.

»Posts must be at least 150 words. I know it is hard to keep it sometimes: we all have writer's block. But we expect you to be literate.

»This is a mature board, so you may curse or be graphic. However, place a warning in your title if your post contains something younger members shouldn’t read.

»Don’t hold discussions that are only OOC in the ICC boards. The free reign board area is for that and you are welcome to post there.

»Try to be literate with proper grammar and no chat-speak. It is ludicrous. If we catch you doing this, you will be notified and expected to change it!

»Liquid time is permitted, meaning you are allowed to be in more than one place at one time, just make sure you can keep track of your threads.

»No killing another character without their creator's consent!

FIGHTING

»Remember to pay attention to one's attributes when going into battle. This can decide who is more powerful and who is not.

»Do not come out of battles without cuts or wounds. It is unrealistic.

»Fights can be held anywhere.

»Dodging every move and always being able to wound your enemy is considered god- moding. And that is against the rules in case you missed the first mention of this.

»Try to be descriptive. Don’t just say. “The Squirtle cut the other Bulbasaur.” or "The Charizard burned him with fire." Say where you intend to jump, in what direction, amount of force, claws, teeth, etc. Again, be literate. Use a thesaurus/dictionary if you must. We do it all the time.

»Adminstrators will observe the fight and judge who wins if you have PMed one of us.

»Fights can be held over mates and hate, but never over the leader position unless both members of opposing sides have agreed to it. Ranks are determined by auditions that will be held and decided upon by the Administrators.

BREEDING/BIRTHING

»You are allowed to have a mate, but remember that mates must be of the same egg group or else offspring cannot occur. Information about egg groups can be found here.

»Birthing is allowed. However, after breeding you must fill out the birthing form and post in the birthing board. Staff will decide the stats of your offspring.

»Please, no 'pleasure breeding'. If you absolutely must do this, then take it to pms. None of us want to read it, trust me.

»Forcebreeding/rape is allowed by members of the Sanctum. However, they must have OOC consent by the victim’s owner.

If you have any questions concerning our forums or these rules, please pm the Administrator account and we will get back to you ASAP. (:
