Respect the status quo. This roleplay is set in the world of the Mega Man ZX series, several months after Serpent was defeated. Stay true to the storyline of the games. Avoid introducing ideas and concepts that conflict with the canon. Don't try to kill official characters, and if you use them, keep their personalities in line with the games.

Do not control characters made by other players. Don't try to dictate what the other players think or do. You can't control another person in real life, so don't try it in the role play.

No "godmoding". In other words, don't pretend your character is perfect or undefeatable. No matter how tough or skilled your character is supposed to be, he or she can still be injured or, in more extreme circumstances, killed. Remember, even Vent and Aile had their bad days.

Enemies aren't made of cardboard. Even the weakest opponents may become a problem if treated lightly. Do you remember how difficult it is to avoid all damage when playing a Mega Man game? It's the same principle. Making your character slaughter hordes of enemies with ease may be considered a form of "godmoding".

Avoid one liners. Put effort on contributing to the roleplay when you post. You don't need to be doing something important all the time, but you should still try to convey some sense of progression.

Be descriptive. It's important to get the right idea across to the other players, especially in the details to avoid confusion. For example, "Vent killed the enemy" is too vague. A more proper narrative would be: "Vent dashed forward, splitting the bipedal Mechaniloid in two with a vertical swing of his ZX-Saber."

Respect grammar. Even if you don't have the best grades in school, you must have some notions of how to write. This isn't a chatroom; spelling and punctuation are important. Make sure that your posts are at least readable. Also, avoid using emotes/smilies to express emotions; describe them with words instead.

Use logic. Don't do something just for the sake of doing it. For example, don't introduce your character in a scene if there is no reason for your character to be there in the first place. Everything happens for a reason, even if said reason isn't discernible at first.

Post in the right section. For example, don't write Innerpeace events in Outlands. We have these multiple areas for a reason, so make use of them. If you're not sure of where to post, feel free to ask.

Explain your absence. If you're in the middle of a scene and suddenly become unable to roleplay for a long period of time (e.g. vacation trip), try to remove your character(s) from the scene in an appropriate manner or give another player permission to control said character(s), so the roleplay can continue unhindered. Failure in complying to this rule means that we hold no responsibility over what happens to your character(s).

Do not post in script or chatroom format. Narrate the actions of your characters instead. A narrative is more appropriate since it better conveys the details of a scene, even in the shortest posts, adding depth to the roleplay. A chatroom requires you to reply quickly, but you can afford to think your posts more thoroughly in a forum, so put more effort into it.

You are not alone. This is a shared setting, which means that anything you do may affect the other players in some form. When you write a post, think on what is currently happening in that same area and the possibility of other players reacting to your posts. At the very least, wait some time for other players in the same area to post once before writing a new reply. In case your character is alone in the area, post accordingly to other thread activity. This isn't just your world, so make sure that your posts won't conflict with the timing of events in the RP. Remember, interaction is the core of role playing.
