It is advised that new members should read all the informative boards about the site and the types of groups/characters. Reading the threads are very helpful.
After reading these boards, then you may request a character. If you have a question about your character or anything else, please PM me.
After your character is accepted, you may pick a rp board to rp on. Also, you should know what time or day it is and the weather so you do not have to re-edit or repost. This means you should skim the posts that are already on the thread.
Rules for Members:
1) Language. Most of us are adults, college kids, or mature writers. You can have a 'bad-ass' character that curses. If this bothers you, then tell us during the roleplay. Then, the roleplayer has the option of highlighting the bad words or language with black, and the other roleplayers that do not mind will simply highlight it with our mouse and read what is covered.
2) Be nice. Don't start shit with other members.
3) Please put your characters, their ranks, and what class/job they are in your signature.

Rules for Role-plays:
1) The Basics:
-No chat speak unless you use 'Out of Character'. (OoC:)
-No Powerplay, (taking control over anothers character).
-No God-mocking, (acting all powerful).
2) 150 word Minimum.
-Sometimes there will be scenes that leave us speechless and we really don't give a shit to add details about the wind blowing or background stuff happening. And sometimes we don't have time to write something long, but I also HATE one liners, so don't do that. Here is a word counter you can use: www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/countwords.shtml
3) Everyone Rp's together. You don't need to make a new board to have characters talking in this thread. You can have more than one scene going on, for example: Character 1 and 2 are talking by the lake in the garden to 3 and 4. Then, 3 and 4 want to leave the lake, but stay in the garden. Rp them leaving, but stay in the garden thread/board. Just ignore characters 1 and 2. This keeps everything together and the roleplayers updated on the story. As more people and characters join, then we can start making more boards/threads. When you leave a thread, post where you are going and if you are starting that thread/board, or if it's already made, then post the page number. This keeps the story in order.
4) With this in mind, you CAN flood. But not up to 20 pages. When you sign out or log off, bookmark what page you are on, then you can catch up with the story or character. THERE IS NO LIST ORDER. Some people like to keep a story going, not wait for others who are not active.
-If you do not want to read those pages to catch up, simply ask for a small summary of what you missed and we will post it or message you.
5) The seasons are moving along with REAL TIME seasons. This is also based in the mountains, so fall is cold, winter is colder with snow, spring is rainy, and summer is hot.
6) We all make mistakes, but please, try to correct them. Some of us get caught up in the story and type fast and then miss some spelling mistakes that we can modify. No need to judge here. WRITE IN A WORD DOCUMENT OR EMAIL TO SAVE YOUR POST-- Many times people accidently delete their post or the internet cuts out.
7) NO PORN
-Most of us are young adults, mature writers and in college. I do not like to write or roleplay about sex, but many of my friends do...if you want to write or roleplay a scene like that, then give a warning rating in the threads title and the characters involved, (if they're room mates or something). DO NOT RP POKEMON MATING/BREEDING. Your best chance is to private message that shit.
Rules for Characters:
1) Limit 3 characters each player, TO START. NO MORE THAN TEN HUMANS. Remember, you rp not only humans as students, trainers, and teachers...but also their poke'mon. If you begin to lack rp'ing a character, it could be deleted and 'dropped' from the campus/rp/site. IF you do have the time to rp more than three characters, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THEM ALL STUDENTS. WE NEED TEACHERS. So, if you play three characters, (the beginners limit), then you should have at least ONE teachers and two students.
2) Freshman get 1 poke'mon, must be ANY starter, pikachus and eevees included, (but can not evolve during the same year). Ages 18-20
3) Sophomores get a second low-level first form poke'mon, example: mareep. Ages 19-20
4) Juniors get a third poke'mon. Ages 21 +
5) Seniors get a fourth poke'mon. Ages 22+
6) Teachers have five poke'mon. (Starter optional).
7) Professors have six pokemon. (Starter optional).
Rules for Poke'mon:
1) You can not have a legendary, rare, or otherwise unobtainable poke'mon.
2) You must learn to have control over your pokemon, it can NOT be doing damage to the school grounds or it's students, professors, and pokemon.
