You will also be blacklisted, and in serious cases, be reported to a mod.
5. No stealing of the artists’ art work. It is art theft and against the law. You will be reported to the mod for this and kicked out of the shop permanently.
6. You must read the entire front page because we do not want anyone pleading for appointments, or breaking a rule. If you any issues with the shop, PM the mule and not the artists. If you have issues with the art of YOUR appointment, PM the artist.

Role-playing
1. Do NOT god-mode. Even if you own a God/Goddess, you are not allowed to kill or permanently hurt a character.
2. Do not create a power for your child; they already have an established list of abilities.
3. Only the God/Goddesses have the power to train a character in their specific field. You are, however, allowed to train them in cooking, gardening, etc.
4. Your pregnant character cannot be more than half anything other than human. That means you can't be a full-blooded vampire, etc.
5. If you are going on hiatus, please notify your RP partner if your child is involved in a relationship. In such cases, you may grant your partner to role-play your child in your absence, but may not have any control of anything that affects the child such as powers, growth, injuries, etc.
6. No anime cosplay character pregnancies. This is because of copyright laws and it is generally wrong to do so. To get more of what this means, you cannot have Sephiroth breed with a goddess or your avatar / OC. You are allowed OCs (original characters) and your avatar only.
7. There is to be no cybering. We already had an incident with this in the past. If you want to do things above Gaia T.o.S, go do it over AIM or any other Instant Messenger system.

4. They are not allowed to grant powers, kill, maim, hurt a fellow Goddess or God. Same applies with a child of the shop.
