Basic Rules

There are some very simple rules you should know when you start role playing. These are the rules that make and break a game.

1. All standard forum rules apply
2. No multiple actions. When you post, you should not be doing more than an attack a turn. Making a circle, and creating the alchemy is one post. The Alchemy being made is another. Let this be stated here.

3. When you go Out Of Character, note that. To go OOC in a post, make it bold and state OOC: before you type it. Thank you.

4. Use clean and correct writing. Try not to swear to much, don't be a jerk, and spell check dude. Please.

5. Make your post worth it. If you post, make it more than a sentance. we have certain standards we hope to meet, if you can not meet these standards, don't bother.

6. No God-moding. Your character is not invincible, and his alchemy is not limitless. Play out both the strength and weakness of your character, and don't go on a power trip.

7. No sudden character killings. Please remember people do put alot of thought into making a character and it is not for you to run and kill. Unless stated "Character death" Character killing will not be allowed.

8. The Game Master's word is final.

9. The limitations of a Game Master's powers. A GM can make a character and play it just like anybody else can. The GM is not GOD he is a player just like you. This means I can do nothing you can not. We have to work the same as you guys. Remember that.

10. A maximum of five characters. Five characters allowed per player.
NEW: Good RPers will be rewarded with an additional character.

11. Chracters in multiple threads. you can have the same character in multiple threads at once as long as he is only training/learning a new skill in one of them. If he is learning them in all of them, he will be killed off. That is cheating and will not be tolerated.

12. Canon Characters.

Cannon characters are character like Ed and Roy Mustang. No, you can not be them in this roleplay board. It would make no sense being that the RP takes place 50 years later. You can not have a character from the anime as your own, plain and simple.

Characters related to canon characters are also prohibited and may not be registered as both NPC's or RPC's. This is mainly to ensure people are creative and do their best with what they can.
**Let it be known, though, that there are very RARE cases when a canon-relation can be made. They must be menial and not alter the RP in anyway/shape/form. That is all, and canon relations will be supervised by your friendly admins and mods.
