Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Note: I copy-pasted most of these rules from my guild. I will edit some with the help of the crew and your suggestions as we go along...]

Lesson one:

Actions
For RP actionsm use these symbols: *, ^, ,(,[,{,-,~ . Just place one at the beining of an action, and one at the very end.

When using Quotation marks, ( "") you just reverse it. Speaking will be inside and everything else outside. It makes it take a little longer, but it makes it easier to make a lot of actions with god moding.

Lesson 3: GOD MODING

We all can't deny that we all godmode in some way. And it's not always because we want to but because we don't know how to RP very well or know the rules. Some of us don't always know how to create a character and forget the strengths and weaknesses. Here, we will emphasize god moding, why isn't it allowed most of the time, how to prevent god moding and tips on avoiding it:

There are a lot of different actions, abilities and strengths that can be called 'God Moding'.

The term 'God Moding' means that your character, attacks, items, powers are too strong unlike everyone else's characters. Auto-hitting is also god moding and so is ignoring your opponent's actions as well as two actions that involve attacking. I will show you some examples of god moding auto-hitting-wise and ignoring your opponent's attack:
An auto hit is when you attack twice in different posts and don't let your opponent go when it should be his/her turn.

Example:

P-1: *hits you with hilt on your head*
P-2: *dodges and swings at you*
P-2:*swings sword around and slams it on you*
P-1:*dodges first hit* **Can't do nothing about second hit**

It's unfair to post twice if you didn't let your parnter go next and its around the lines of God Moding or a form of it. So please watch out for that.


Some tips on how to prevent God moding:
~Don't overpower your character. Keep your character true and have powerful abilities used on occasion rather than regularly. Try balancing your characters powers with weaknesses.

~Attacks have to make sense! Use logical poses and attacks that aren't superhuman (And even if you are, give yourself some weaknesses or downfalls to your character).

~Character Stats. If you want to make your character make sense, look up information on what kind of class and race your character wants to be! Then create your own special characteristics, strengths and weaknessess!
