1 >> Yes, this is an above average roleplay community. We do not expect mediocrity from you, but we do not expect "OMIGAW amazing" stuff. Just take things seriously, follow the rules, etc etc.

2 >> There is no real limit for posts, yet please keep them at least above 100 words. Remember, you're trying to get in a character's dialogue, actions, and thoughts! It shouldn't be too hard to eke out a few sentences. But don't be redundant. That's annoying.

3 >> Before you can roleplay, you must have applied for an available character and been approved.

4 >> "Liquid" roleplaying is allowed here; i.e. where your character can be in more than one place in different threads at the same time.

5 >> Double posts will be deleted. Yes, I'm neurotic, and I do look at almost every post that is posted.

6 >> While conversing OOC during a roleplay, make sure it's obvious. Use parentheses or brackets. Don't just bold or italicize.

7 >> Don't clog up the roleplay boards with your discussions! If you're just roleplaying and adding comments back and forth, that's fine, but if it dissolves into the OOC parts being longer than the posts, you definitely need to take it to the OOC boards.

8 >> You may make sub-plots of your own as you roleplay, but above all things, STICK TO THE MAIN PLOT. If you haven't read the plot yet, you're in trouble, so read it here.

9 >> Onshuu is set up so that those who roleplay write in third person, paragraph form. Do not deviate from this, please.

10 >> Use italics, not /italics/. Use bold, not -bold-.

[[ Fighting Rules

1 >> Absolutely, under no circumstances are you allowed to god mode. You are not allowed to totally beat someone into a pulp in one try. You are not allowed to control someone else's character in a fight without their permission. You are not allowed to say how much damage the other took. If you try and god mode, you automatically lose the battle and yes, an admin/mod will be there to tell you.

This isn't saying that if you're like, Pein and you're fighting an ordinary genin, that you have to draw out a battle with them. Think about what you're roleplaying. With Pein-and-the-genin, of course Pein would crush them in a second! But, if you do that and don't list what damage was done, just what you did to them, you wouldn't be god-moding. It's subjective, and really depends on who all are in the battle.

2 >> You cannot kill another character without permission and killing canons is DEFINITELY off limits unless you've had an audience with the mods (both of you) and it's been decided that all believe this would be the best way to further the plot. But we don't like it when canons die (admit it, you've cried at someone's death in the series) so there's a very slim chance you'll be approved.

3 >> If there is an issue in the battle and you want it to be over but can't decide who'll win, PM one of the admins.
