First and foremost, this site is here to help me organize my thoughts for my books. I hope you will keep that in mind.

This is very important, please read:

The ideas, creatures, and places in this site are from a world I have designed for my books, which I am currently writing, and planning to put into publication. Please respect this, and observe that these ideas, creatures, and places, etc. are copyright to Saniyl Riza. If you use them without permission, you are stealing.

Any relation or similarities to other people's ideas are purely coincidence and incidental.

Any artwork created by Saniyl Riza is also copyright, and any that does not belong to Saniyl Riza is copyright to the original artist.

If you want to use any of my art, please ask permission first before editing, taking, or using any art or writings. Thank you.

Here are the Rules for this site.

Before posting with your character, you must post your character bio in the “Characters” board and wait for it to be approved by 3 staff members.

If you wish to be a limited character, you must apply to all of the staff members and have at least 3 accept your application. THEN, you may begin making your bio. If you do not apply, you will not be accepted. NO EXCEPTIONS Save yourself the trouble, and ask before you make your character.

1) Have fun, and enjoy yourself
This site was created for entertainment. It is a place for people to use their imaginations, and have a good time. However, please remember to obey the rules and listen to the staff.

2) No Spamming
Meaning: No posting twice in a row, no short sentences, no random sentences in your IC posts.

3) Stay in theme
This means do not go walking around with a gun or anything. Do not use modern day slang when posting IC. (That means no 'Wassup?' etc.)

4) Keep it PG
This site and everything in it is PG rated. This means no swearing, no drug referencing, and no sexual references. Battles can be described in depth and such, but avoid gruesome or gory descriptions. All other posting must also be within the PG rating.

5) Romance
Romance is aloud, but keep it tasteful, nothing vulgar. Whatever anyone else says, romance at a PG level is possible. I do realize that romance over the PG13 level happens, but if it must be used be extremely discrete. Romance is in no way encouraged, however, to anyone under the rank of advanced. There will be penalties for breaking this rule. First offense, you will receive a warning. Second offense, you will be banned for one (1) day. Subsequent offenses will be dealt with on an individual basis.

6) Respect
Respect others, even if you do not agree with their opinions or ideals, be respectful and open-minded. If you have a disagreement, talk it out calmly or speak with an admin.

7) Write, don’t just post
When you type a post, please try and write your posts descriptively and clearly. Try to avoid computer slang or one-sentence posts. Literacy is HIGHLY encouraged. This rule is bendable in the OOC boards.

8) RolePlaying
~No Mary/Gary Sues. Meaning: Your character cannot be perfect and have awesome skills in everything they do.
~All roleplaying must be in third person: "He walked up to Jack." not: "I walked up to Jack."
~When speaking out of character, type OOC before saying whatever (when speaking in roleplaying boards). When you switch to speaking in character, type IC before saying whatever
~Use proper spelling and grammar.
~No God-Moding. Meaning: You cannot control other people's characters. The only exception to this rule is if the person specifically tells you you can use their character.
~No Power-Playing. Meaning: You cannot make your character invincible, and they cannot have unbelievable traits.
~One account, one character. You may only have one character per account. In order to rp a second character, you must apply to the Admins asking to create a second account. Once your request is accepted, you may create your account and make your character.

9) Activity
You must be active, or let the administrators know that you will be gone for a period of time. If you do not let the administrators know of you absence, your character bio will be moved to the Inactive Accepted Members board after two weeks. If your bio is not accepted and you are not active for two weeks, then your bio will be deleted. After four weeks of inactivity for accepted characters, the character bio will be moved into the Graveyard. Once it is in the Graveyard, it cannot be retrieved without my, Saniyl Riza’s, permission, in which case you would have to send me a pm explaining why you were absent, then it will be my decision to let you have your character back.

Please read the Terms of Service below, and remember to follow them. If you do not, this site risks deletion.
