These are the basic rules on any RPG, I hate writing them, you hate reading them, but they have to done, if you have played any RPG please read them because this site has certain rules that are different to other RPG's. I ask you to read them, I trust you, there isn't a password you have to hunt for or anything like that.
Godmoding:
I very big thorn in the side of any site, this is particuly true for a human based site. This basically means taking control of anouther persons character for example:
Bob attacked Lennie and shredded him into small pieces and then threw the pieces into a nearby river.
That is not cool and very annoying for anyone on the receiving end of the post, this is a better example:
Bob sped at Lennie his claws sharp and he swiped at Lennie knowing that the attack would shred him to pieces.
Okay so the examples are a little bit weird...
my point is don't godmod.
I don't like the whole 'Bob aimed a swipe at Lennie' because it's lame, it would then be up to the other person to say 'Lennie dodged the attack and lunged at Bob with his sword' get the point?
Swearing:
This is okay both in character and out of character as long as it is meant in jest and as long as you don't mean it that would be just ebil...
Perfect Character and Character Creation
This goes without saying that every character has a fault, nobody is perfect, if you make a perfect character, it will not be excepted. There is a form that has to be used in order to create a character, any charcater made not using the form will not be excepted, please read the rules on the creation board before submitting a profile. Thanks.
The Races and Accounts
The rules are once account per person, a maximum of four character per account, however you can create a different account for each character if you want to. Please use the character profile form for each character you create, and wait for it to be accepted before posting, one power per character please, remember that your character can only have a power based on thier race, see The Gift Within You, for more details.

Underworld
Order in Rank
King Among Thieves: {1- Wolf} Every Criminal underworld has to have a mastermind behind the operations, in Ariafrost the King is the leader, nothing happens without him knowing, no deal struck, no pocket picked without his say so, this does not mean that the thieves go running to him for every little thing, generally the best of the best he is elusive and rarely seen even by his own kind, everyone from the beggars to the burglars answer to him, this doesn't stop them going behind their back, after all they are the scum of the earth, skilled in lock picking, sneaking around unseen and maintaining a cool air of calm, he is as harder to catch than smoke.
Prince Among Thieves: Thrand of Glennara {Fox}
The right hand to the king he is one of the only men that the king can rely on fully, and even then he must not forget that the Prince is first and foremost a thief, a liar and a notorious betrayer, the Prince in the one that most thieves recognise by face, he is seen everywhere fulfilling the bidding of the king, feared and in most places hated his job is neither easy nor without risk, however as the right hand to the king he is rarely attacked by fellow thieves out of spite or political reasons. Perhaps the most frightning thing is that the Prince or the King could be anyone, walking along with normal people and no-one not even the thieves themselves would ever know.
Lord Among Thieves: {2 - Hawk and Viper} The notorious and dreaded henchmen of the King, they answer mainly to the Prince, gliding through the streets or wilderness like smoke, they are like paid assassins but far more deadly and dangerous, skilled in the arts of unseen movement and deception they have earned a nasty reputation, almost as bad as the Prince, they are not to be trusted even by the King, they could and would betray him in a heartbeat, their identities are not known by any for they wear black masks at all times, some say they are able to turn into smoke and glide underneath doors, this rumour has not been proved true...or false.
The way the underworld works is you pick the name of an animal, no one uses their real name not unless they are either stupid or have a death wish, the most famous names are adopted by the leaders, the King, Prince and Lords, their names are recognised instantly by all who hear them.
*Characters with a star next to them are key characters for various mini-plots that I personally am running, because of this their bio might already be written out - by myself. Please double check before creating the character yourself.
