No one likes rules, right? Well, it's just as hard coming up with them to keep everything organized:
1. Characters
To claim a character, see this thread and follow the instructions. Everyone must go through this process - even the ones who've claimed roles before I put this up (yes, I include myself). I or Kevin (if you want to) will approve or disapprove (I'm sure everyone will be approved ^^. Afterwards, I recommend putting who you are in your signature or somewhere where all will see in every post your character makes.
Characters can only be killed off by his or her host (member) or by another, but ONLY with the presiding member's permission. If someone takes a while to post, give them that time. If the time becomes a problem, the staff will work something out.
Don't post until you've been approved. This also means that no one can control a character that has not been claimed. However, claiming more than one character will have to do if a character is needed VERY BADLY and has not been claimed yet. This will give future members or current members the chance of claiming that character in the future.
However, battles are different. When it comes to battling, set up what's going to happen with whomever is in that battle between PMs or (even better) in those double parentheses from earlier.
Furthermore, the attacks and transformations will be based on every attack/transformation in the Japanese anime and the manga. In other words, use Moon Tiara Action instead of Moon Tiara Boomerang/Magic or Mars Power Make-up instead of Mars Power. However, manga attacks/transformations like Neptune Eternal Power Make-up (I think) and Venus Wink Chain Sword are welcomed. ((Thanks to sailorxmoon for bringing this one up!))
[for Villains ONLY]
Youma, daimons, etc. that are created by a villain can ONLY be controlled by that villain.
2. Posts in General
When discussing plot, etc., put all parts of your post that are NOT part of the story in double parentheses. i.e. (())
If your character says something in Japanese, tell us at the beginning of the post what it means in parentheses. i.e. ()
Please use the original Japanese names of all characters. For example, say Usagi instead of Serena, or Chibiusa instead of Rini.
Please make decent usage of grammar and spelling skills. If there's something you don't know or understand about grammar or spelling in general, ask. Small mistakes are accepted, as no one's perfect. i.e. misspelling a word by a letter or two, using a comma instead of a semi-colon and vice versa.
Don't forget to post at least three well-developed sentences in each post. Details help this alot. ((Thanks to sailorxmoon for bringing this one up!))

If you're going to be inactive, let us all know in a thread in a reasonable location.

These rules may change at any time by me or Kevin if necessary, so keep checking back.
