These are just the RP rules. If you haven't already, please read the General Forum Rules.
"It's a lot of stuff!" is NOT a valid excuse for not reading the rules before you start. Using it will make the staff vary, very angry...
The Rules
1: Follow the General Board Rules!
2. No killing people without their permission (meaning ask them in the discussion thread or over PM)
3. Your character cannot accomplish the impossible, keep it realistic. (I.E. no laser vision, no miracles, and no Force powers if your character isn't Force sensitive).
4. After creating your RP character, you must change your SN to your character's name. This doesn't have to be done right away, but should be done shortly after your character has been created.
5. You are allowed only one main RP character (Unless an admin states otherwise as a plot device only-this is NOT a seperate acct btw.) NPCs (random bystanders for your character to interact with) are fine, as long as they stay minor characters.
6. Your character can't be in two places at the same time
7. Your character cannot read other character's thoughts without permission. Not even if you're a Jedi!
8. Your character cannot read other character's thoughts without permission.
9. You are not allowed to give yourself -or other members for that matter- your/their allowance, this will be done by a staff member.
10. Your character can't harass or stalk other characters without their permission. If you annoy someone you will be warned and expected to stop doing so. If someone is harassing you, inform a staff member.
11. Your character can't just "have" major stuff, you have to purchase items (With an exception of what you start out with). Things like food and clothes, you can have, but not weapons, vehicles, property, or other major items. In some cases this rule may be bendable, so talk to a mod if you aren't sure about something concerning what you're character may own.
12. If you want a new character you must proceed in telling an admin. You cannot simply change your SN to your character's new name. First you have to tell an admin and they will lock your old account and you can create a new account. But before you do that, think about it. You can't go back to your old character. Frequent character changes are discouraged- it's troublesome for everyone.
13. If your character is caught in the act of sneaking aboard public transport without paying by a staff member, you will be forced to pay double the transport fee. If you don't get caught it's ok though. So stow away, if you dare
14. Absolutely no godmoding! You can't play for other member's characters without their permission, unless it is a small sentence. (In rare circumstances staff members may be able to play for them without their permission). This is a pretty major offense, especially if you do it to gain an advantage in a fight.
15. If a bounty hunter who is hunting you, finds you and posts that he has captured you in the thread your character is in, you must allow him to capture you.
16. You can't post a bounty on someone (yourself included) until you have first cleared it with a mod or admin.
17. As you know, your character has to travel in a ship in order to get from planet to planet. For this to happen you must post in your ship (Or whatever ship you're taking) at least once. You can skip time once you are in your ship but you must post at least once in between the time you leave a planet and arrive at your destination.
18. OOC is not the same as IC. For example, just because you know something out of character, doesnt mean your character knows it. From now on, your character needs to find out things before they act on that knowledge. (ie. the character needs to find out that someones been captured before going rushing off to save the person in question)
19. Characters cannot, and we mean cannot engage in any sexual activity. Unmarried characters cannot sleep in the same bed, married characters can. However no character, none whatsoever, can sleep with another. No hinting towards such actions are allowed. No making-out. No nudity.
Kissing, hugging, holding hands and other innocent actions are allowed. Being pregnant is allowed as well, we just don't want to know the details of when and how it happened
Rules for Force Users:
20. If you want to be a Jedi make sure your character starts out as one. The Jedi may not take a person to be trained as a Jedi if he is too old. It's their choice, not yours.
21. Only Mods and Admins are allowed to have Jedi Master characters (unless stated otherwise by an admin)
22. You cannot become a strong force user unless you are trained under a Jedi Master/Knight. Minor Force abilities are okay for non-Jedi Force-Sensitives, but no lightsaber expertise, no mind reading, no mind tricks, etc.
23. You have to be a Jedi in order to start with a lightsaber. If you are a Non-Jedi, you can kill a Jedi and take his lightsaber, or be given one by a Jedi. HOWEVER, simply walking down the street and beiung handed a lightsaber for no reason by a random Jedi will get you in serious trouble.
24. Only Masters and Padawans and those Jedi with strong force connections are able to telepathically speak through the force. (force-sensitive but not trained people may sense the general emotions of those close to them, close as in relation, not proximity)
Rules for Bounty Hunters
(Bounty Hunter rules are included under the Bounty Hunters part of the Instructions.+
Rules for Minor Characters
1. Minor characters cannot make money.
2. They may own one house, a comlink, two weapons and one ship (talk to an admin about aquiring other things, it may be allowed)
3. IF your minor character buys anything besides a house or ship, you must pay for it with your main character's money.
4. All minor characters (not Jedi Master characters) must be put in the Minor Chars thread, here.
You're 2/3 of the way to being RP-savvy! Only the RP instructions are left.
