General Rules and Guidelines:RULES:- You must be at lest 18 years of age or older to participate. This is an Unrated RP that contains mature content (i.e: Torture, Sex, and Swearing).
- You must create a new account for your character. The use of your personal account is prohibited.
- The name of the account used for your character must be the characters, Rank (if any) First and Last name. (i.e.: Captain Commander Kyoraku | Ichigo Kurosaki | Lt. Hisagi Shuuhei)
- This is a NO KILL RP. Which means your character cannot be killed off. They can be beat to near death, but not killed.
- Do not "spam." If you forgot to add something to your comment/reply, edit the existing comment/reply.
- Fans are not allowed in the RP Threads unless given permission by a leader.
- Know your character well and know the other characters you are RPing with. It saves a lot of stress if you know what you’re going up against.
- While RPing, do not develop a "God Complex" (i.e: God Mod). You should know the limits of your character.
- You are to be in character at all times in an RPing Boards (i.e: Human Realm, Hollow Realm, Soul Realm, Godly Realm). NEVER are you to be OOC (Out Of Character) in any RPing Board or Thread. NEVER. There is a Board and Threads created for OOC moments. (i.e: Locked Down Threads and Threads marked OOC.)
- When OOC, use the brackets ((_)) to indicate that you are speaking out of character.
- OC (original characters) are allowed, but they have to be authorized by the Leaders to make sure they are within the rules of OC characters. (OC Guidelines here)
- No one outside of the Bleach Leaders is to know what character(s) you are playing.
- If you are harassed, be it by a guest or an RPer, let a Bleach Leader know. Do not handle the situation on your own.
--- GUIDELINES: - Along with these set Rule’s we have written and unwritten Guidelines, a code of honor. The unwritten rule of being courteous and communicating with your fellow RPer’s. If you are unsure about something ask; ANYONE! If they don’t know the answer they can direct you to someone that does. And I promise you, you will have an answer that day.
- Having more then one role (character) is permitted. BUT, only to our most experienced RPers. A new RPer is only allowed a maximum of two roles and more added once they gain more experience in the RPing field, or prove they can handle the two they have. (IF the RPer wants more characters).
- We have Open and Closed RP’s here.
Open RP: Any Character can join.
Closed RP: ONLY invited characters are allowed.
This can be a little tricky sometimes with the Open and Closed RP’s with the different realm’s and what might be going on. Your best bet. ASK. It saves hard feeling and stress on everyone.
- We also share ALL MAJOR Ideas, Plans and Plots. If it is going to effect the RP in a whole it has to go through ALL RPer’s and be discussed. There we tweak it, add to it and make it better. NO Major Ideas, Plans or Plots are one persons in this RP. We all have a hand in how this RP runs. If there is an issue we all get together and talk about it. NO ONE moves alone here. Now we do have what we call our “Wrench Throwers”. Which are the ones that will come up with a small inside Plot and attack. These are what I call builder plots or ideas. After the main idea is planned out they fill in the rest with their smaller ideas and add excitement.
- Outside of these Rules and Guidelines there are also character Rules and Guidelines. They cannot be bent or broken. NO HOW, NO WAY. Once they are made they are set in stone, unless it is talked about to have them changed. And that has to take place with ALL Realm Leaders and the Bleach Leaders involved.

RPing Guidelines:These are guidelines to make RPing smoother and more fun and you will notice some are repeated from the above Rules and Guidelines. The reason being is because they are guidelines that are stressed here and how we keep things calm and fun for everyone. In saying that, lets continue. Any quirks can still be a part of this RP. Trust me, a few of our RPer's/characters toss in little plots that change things. That’s fine. It’s what makes the RP fun and a surprise for us RPer's. As long as they are IN character, you can play your little games. But if you want to throw in changes for the WHOLE cast, or give your character a new face - you need to make some hints in your writing or share the idea. If it seems people are getting lost by your hints, ask Juushiro or Kita if they understand the hint. They can help you and you can continue forward. Some of this may seem like more than most RP’s. We did take the writing to another level. We try to cover all loose ends and make the transitions smooth and easy to follow. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of fun to be had. Take your time to get used to the way things are done here. Share with the family - even if it is only with ONE other person. Because in the end, they will relay that message to all the others to make things move along like needed and in time you will start sharing with the others just like we all do. ~~~~~~
- Number One: WE ALL HAVE TO DO THIS. I can't let you march to the beat of your own drum for rules. It would not be fair to the others.
- Number Two: I WILL NOT IGNORE what our readers have to say. If I do that, they leave and then where does that leave us?
- Number Three: WE ALL have to compromise. No one person gets their way completely. Even with the shared ideas. So know if you submit an idea it will be nit picked and added to and maybe even parts removed. Here, we work as a group. Not as one person against everyone else. If we did, this RP would not have the readers we have. To make the story/RP move smoothly and fun we have to share ideas, plans and MAJOR plots that affect EVERYONE. It’s the small inside evil/good plots that add the fun for the RPer's.
- Number Four: As far as ideas go. We all have last minute idea that we share with the person(s) we are RPing with. We don't just broad side people with MAJOR things here. It will cause hard feelings between you and everyone here. Now little things are fine, but a MAJOR change will make your character look MAJOR OOC to A LOT of people. You have to write in ACTIONS and/or THOUGHTS as of why your character is doing this.
- Number Five: With sharing our ideas with the others, there is a better chance of us getting exactly what we want for our character or story. Not saying the other character(s)/RPer(s) will make it easy on us to get to that point (we can't make things look like they were planned), but we will get it in the long run because we are all aware of what needs to be done to get the character to were he/she needs to be or the RPer wants them to be. It’s a win win situation when we cooperate.
- Number Six: We do understand character growth and we know it IS NEEDED. Without it the character would become boring and stagnant. Now I know every RPer wants their character on the right path, but we need to know what direction you’re taking him/her and leading him/her for growth or change. If you take your character out in left field and we are in the right field. They are going to be doing their own thing while we are following what we have had planned for months.
- Number Seven: The RPer's here will call you on not paying attention. Either in the RP, in character, or getting a hold of you (PM, Skype, whatever way they can). If you're not sure what I am talking about. I will use an RP with Kisuke and Juushiro as an example.
Now, in the RP, Juushiro was written in as sleeping on a cot in the room they were all in. When Juushiro's RPer entered the RP, instead of waking up and sitting up on the said cot/bed. He walked in the room. Kisuke called him on it.
Now this is not done to be mean. It is done to make you see you're not paying attention. The RPer's would rather not have you redo a comment or delete it. So they try to fit it in without it looking odd. However, sometimes they can't; that's when things get deleted or you're told to redo your comment. Do NOT argue with the other RPer(s) over this. If you have been asked to change your reply or delete it, it is for good reason. Not because someone is being an ass. Also know, replies do not get deleted unless it is cleared by me or Juushiro, and nine times out of ten it is deleted BY me or Juushiro.
