- Sim Rules-

The Bleach: Chronicles of the Soul Sim is a roleplaying experiance for everyone. We focus on Mature and sometimes Adult situations and themes without interupting the quality of the roleplay with vulgar ideals.

We have basic rules, and we have basic ettiquette. Its really very simple. Lets start with the rules first:

■RP Rules■                                                                                                                                                                                           ■RP Rules■

➊ Godmodding and metagaming are not allowed. If you have an ability that is considered godmodding, the Admin's can ask you to alter it.

➋ You must have a RP reason for being in another race's base.

➌ Once you leave the OOC areas, you are expected to be in character. ( You may be OOC in IC areas but you may not disturb Role Play )

➍ Gestures are allowed but remember not to spam them, they can get annoying. We would like it if gestures are primarily used if they fit in an RP situation (like if the gesture says the same thing you are saying, or if you use a gesture with effects/words for releases, etc)

➎ If you are captured, you cannot IM someone or use group IM's to let people know you have been captured unless there is a valid RP way for you to be getting a hold of someone.

➏ Vizards and Bount are by Admin Approval only. Do not RP as a Vizard or Bount if you have not been approved into the race.

➐ Do not take things that happen IC personally. Some people play jerks IC but they may be really nice people OOC. They don't mean the things they say to actually be offensive to you as a person.

➑ GUNS are allowed for use in the sim with Admin Approval Only.

RP Godmodding and Metagaming - (See the definition of godmodding and metagaming) Any RP Godmodding or metagaming that has been confirmed as such by three or more of the Admin team. 1st offense- verbal warning 2nd offense- 2 day ban 3rd offence- 2 week ban

Any offense after that is a perma ban until a "counseling" session is held with an Admin.

➒ All Non-Human types of species are restricted to the Shinigami and Arrancar races only (including hollow and visored branchoffs).

➓ You cannot kill someone's character without the other player's permission (see below for Death Rights). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

■Ethics■                                                                                                                                                                                                 ■Ethics■

➊ Respect others and you will get respect in return.

➋ We ask that you help us keep this a drama free zone. Any issues you have with another player or Admin/GM or anyone for that matter should not lead to any trash talking. If you have a problem with someone, use the chain of command.

➌ Harassment and blatant, rude disrespect will not be tolerated.

➍ Teleport huds ARE allowed, however you MUST have permission from the person you are TP'ing to first so as to not interrupt something that may potentially be going on. The only exception to this rule is Admin's may use them to deal with Admin matters. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

■Rezzing Objects/Griefing■                                                                                                                                        ■Rezzing Objects/Griefing■

➊ The sim will have auto return on. If you are renting or have permission to rez due to position (ie captains, espadas, etc), then you must remain within the prim limit given to you. If you wish to purchase more prims, you can.

➋ Absolutely no vehicles. Violators will be given a warning then banned. Things like the piggy back walks, etc that might be considered vehicles are allowed.

➌ Griefing is NOT allowed at all.

Disrespect griefing- Constant name calling of any other player (including GM's), not listening to requests from a GM, or harassing a player in any other form. 1st offense-verbal wanring 2nd offense- 1 day ban 3rd offense- week ban

Object griefing- any throwing, dropping, mass creating, or illegal copying of object. 1st offense-1 week ban 2nd offense-3 week ban 3rd offense- perma ban

Any offense after the 3rd for both types of griefing will be perma ban until a "counseling" session has been held with an Admin.

ANY SERIOUS GRIEFING THAT IS THE CAUSE OF MASSIVE SIM LAG OR SIM CRASHING IS AN INSTANT PERMA BAN. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

■Uniforms■                                                                                                                                                                                        ■Uniforms■

Alright, so that we can easily distinguish a Shinigami from an Arrancar we have decided to place a dress code for the sim. Don't worry there wont be a specific uniform you will have to buy. We're not that mean. But there will be specific colors you will have to wear so that it is easy for everyone to know what role you are playing. Below are the specifics for each group.

- Shinigami: ➀ Non-seated Shinigami - The Shinigami were found wearing mostly black shihakusho with a white sash. So we ask that your outfit consist of mostly black though it does not have to be completely black. (Just do not wear a white haori as if you were a captain. Some consider it disrespectful for non captains to be wearing captains haori)

➁ Seated Shinigami & Captains - Seated Shinigami and captains can differ up their outfits a little. Though the seated shinigami, like lieutenants, also wore mostly black you can change up some part of your outfits. Captains will usually have a bit of white on them because of their haori though again still mostly black so that it can be seen.

Note: Captains Must wear a full Haori

- Arrancar: ➊ All Arrancar must wear something white. It does not have to be plain white but it must be visible that you wear white. In the Anime/Manga, arrancar's outfits were not all alike. The only thing they had in common was that their outfits were predominantly white and a bit of black

➋ While the Arrancar uniform is mostly white you will also get to use different kinds of clothing for your Released form. An arrancar's appearence changes once they call the name of their sword, so you will have a bit of free room to make an outfit for your release. No it does not have to be all white.

- Quincy: ➀ Not a lot is shown about the Quincy except for what Ishida had worn. So for this we ask that you mimic his clothing of white and a light blue mixture.

➁ While on earth you may wear normal clothing.

- Vizard & Bount: ➊ Vizard and Bount basically has free range with clothing. They live on earth for the most part and try to blend in so they are not required to wear a uniform as Shinigami and Arrancar do.

- Fullbrings, Ie. Humans ➀ A Fullbring has free range with clothing as well.

- Gigai ➊ If you are a race that uses a gigai, your gigai should try to blend in with humans, therefore normal clothes are allowed then. But you should note somehow that you are in a gigai.

We ask that you do not imitate the clothing of another race/rank without valid RP reason.

[CoS] RP Ettiquette (NOTE: I use the word 'douch' in this...don't like it? Grow up and don't be one. Love ya's.)

These are not official Rules, more like Semi-Rules. These are not bannable offences or anything like that, they are however (only for the heavier ones), RP voidable offences, or even demotionable offences if continued.

This is basic RP ettiquette, how to, and how not to be a total douche in RP and instead be someone respectable.

Please take note of them, and if you find yourself committing them...best to stop before you get in trouble.

(NOTE: Admins should never need to be called for these offences, a GM will do just fine.)

1. RP in DETAIL! You cannot expect your opponant to understand your attacks (eg, where your aiming, what your actually doing etc.) if you do not detail them proficiently enough. Say where your aiming, say exactly what your doing, and describe your CHARACTERS REACTION TO YOUR OPONANTS ATTACKS! (non serious)

2. Basic punctuation. Wherever possible, remember your little friend, the 'comma'. He is your friend, and helps make your posts legible. He is supposed to be placed wherever you would take a pause in your sentences if you were speaking in real life. Best way to know when to put it is by speaking the sentences as you type it, either in your head or outloud. It helps, trust us. (non serious)

3. Multiple attacks in a single combat situation. This is not being made a hard official Rule in CoS because of the many different variations of attack and combat style. This is a difficult one to pinpoint in when your doing wrong, but obvious in some area's. For example, it is not against the rules to ATTEMPT to attack someone, and RP that IF it succeeds you follow it up with a certain meneuver. Thats perfectly fine and a tactical application of your abilities and combat style. Well done. HOWEVER, you CANNOT say you attempt to do one thing, and then another, and then another, and then another and do MANY attacks based soley on the base principle that the first was a successfull hit. THATS BAD FORM. Multiple Bala's? Fine. Multiple Bala's followed by a kick to the head before another kick to the side and then followed by a point-blank bala to the face? IS DOUCHINESS. Be a fair RPer. (Serious and may warrents RP void and if done CONTINUOUSLY even after being warned, may result in demotion.)

4. Breaking rules based on someone else having bad RP Ettiquette. Two wrongs do NOT make a right. If you Powermod or Godmod because someone else is being douchy in RP, YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AND WILL BE PUNISHED FOR IT. (Serious and depending on what you do may be considered against RP Ettiquette, or against the outright Rules.)

5. Just because you may not like someone's OOC attitude...do NOT ruin events, others RP's or basically be a douche and refuse to RP with them. Honestly, your not children. Just RP with them and get it over with, you never know, through RP you may find something you like about them. (Semi-Serious, if this causes issues and drama that upsets an event or carries on for longer than it should, it may result in Demotion.)

6. Roleplay is about give and take. While we all want to win, its not always bad to take loss. Always rememeber to be FRIENDLY and "Sell" your attacks. Even if someone is coming at you with a towel, or a rubber duck, while this might be silly, don't just blow it off or act like its nothing. Always remember people put alot of heart and soul into their characters, as we know you have. (non serious)

7. Spelling. This is a minor but very common one. CHECK YOUR SPELLING. Even if it means writing your post in Microsoft Word before posting it. Yes we all make typo's, I'm sure I've made a few in this NC. But make sure your post is at least legible or you cannot fault your opponant from misinterpreting your post. (non serious)

8. If you have IRL issues when your RPing, its perfectly fine to go AFK. However, if your on something like Skype? Dont take the piss if your actually at your keyboard. Other people might have other things to do after the RP. So play nice and be considerate. (non serious)

9. EXIT POSTS! If IRL is calling and you must log, do an exit post. no matter how short or quick, just do one. its Standard politness. (slightly serious)

10. OOC! DSuring an RP, try not to have lots of OOC. its annoying. (slightly serious)

[CoS] Death Rights

Death Rights are the sims way of keeping your character alive. There are basic rules for Death Rights and overall its pretty simple.

As a standard, Death Rights are usually perminant and can only be waved by yourself. It's your choice to have them with the basic rule being:


 * No one can kill your char without your permission. They may only greviously or almost fatally injure them.

These rights may be wavered at any given time of your character's rp in the sim. It's your choice to have them or not, and they work and apply in almost all sim situations. There are however, two single instances where Death Rights are automatically wavered in the sim.

Here are the situations where Death Rights are automatically wavered without player consent or control:


 * Unauthorised invasion of another races base. (e.g. if an Arrancar invades soul society without IC permission from the Granado and OOC permission from the Captain Commander.)


 * A traitor faces against their betrayed Race Leader. (Basically, if you betray your race leader, your Death Rights apply to all situations still except one. If you face against the Race Leader you betrayed, YOUR RACE LEADER CAN KILL YOU. Your Death Rights are instantly wavered against your Race Leader.)

If you value your characters, best to avoid those instances above, that or play it smart. In all other instances Death Rights are as standard unless voluntarily wavered by the player.
