What sets us apart from most Anime message board RPs is that we follow the old RP rules and these forums will mostly run on Original character RPs.
If you ever played D&D - did you ever know a player who was able to be Drizzt Do'Urden? Hell no! Just because you're playing IN a world, doesn't mean you get to be the characters in the story!
Here are our rules:
1. New members may only play Original Characters (OC's) - and only up to two at a time.
2. Members shall earn points based upon their number of points combined with their karma and RP skills and they will actually go up levels! This point system shall remain secret and Teh Boss shall let it be known when you go up a level.
3. When you begin, you are assumed to be a level 1 character. Your abilities will reflect your status. As you go up in levels your character will earn more experience and abilities. If you are not playing a supernatural character, your OC may be granted Items of Power, giving them supernatural abilities that were otherwise not available to them!
Human characters are restricted to very little special equipment and abilities. If you desire to have something particular, ask a MOD for permission.
Supernatural characters are restricted to only three abilities and/or weapons - choose them wisely!
After your character profile is made, one of the MODs may step in and offer your further guidance and perhaps even additional skills and abilities.
4. Once you have your character's profile set you may NOT alter important information. (For instance - my OC Kasumi is a chubby girl. If somebody comes around with a bishounen character that I just adore but he only likes thin women, I can not alter her appearance to suit any current sneaky motive of trying to hook them up. Over time I could, if I wanted, say that Kasumi was actively trying to lose weight - but I won't since that would go against her personality!)
5. You may NOT speak for another character out of your control (you may speak between any characters you control). You also may not state what another person is doing.
6. When it comes down to supernatural abilities, most things can be worked out in role play. If there is an arguement, here is how they will work:
If the ability is used on a human who is without any means of protection from the ability, it automatically succeeds.
If the ability is used on a demon of any kind or a human with some protection from the ability, it will succeed for a short period of time.
If the ability is used on someone who is immune to said ability, it will fail.
For instance: A fox demon attempts to charm a small group. They consist of a human girl, a half-demon and a full snake demon. Her charm succeeds with the human and temporarily works with the half-demon if he did not choose charm immunity as one of his skills, but completely fails with the snake demon since most snake demons are immune to charm and hypnosis and that was one of his base abilities.
If you are unsure of these rules or at any time you want clarification or a my hero (that's me!) ruling, feel free to PM me or my other account - Kasumi.
7. All RPs are assumed to be taking place at the same time. You must make a separate thread from the one your character is currently in and state whether it happens before or after your other thread if you want to be in more than one at the same time. This is an important rule, as it keeps a time line for us.
8. An RP can end at any time the characters (or just the person who started the thread) says so. If the characters are done with their particular "episode" in the thread they are working on, feel free to place a "the end" or "until next time" (or something like it) in the last post. Make certain to ask teh boss to lock the thread.
9. If you have your heart set on playing a particular character from the show, you can earn the right to play them through activity on the site and excellent RP skills.
Until such a gift is granted to a player, each of the characters from the show will be played (temporarily) by my hand-picked MODs.
You will not get that character by whining. There are many other Inu Yasha boards where you can jump in and play without even an audition to see if you can correctly play that character. These boards can be fun, as they are carefree and even sometimes silly. But in my opinion the RP is lost when a character is not properly portrayed.
If you are looking to have fun, adolescent interactions with your favorite anime character and some other interesting OC's, I'll direct you to our sister site: www.inuyasha0rp.proboards53.com/index.cgi
If you are looking for a RPG that tries to stay true to the characters from the show - and a chance to have your OC become as legendary as they are - stick around!
