GENERALLY SPEAKING,
- NO DRAMA. PERIOD. While things can get tense IC-wise, that is no excuse to bring that out of character. If you don't get along with somebody, no one is forcing you to interact with them. If problems persist, please contact an admin via PM and be prepared to show screencaps.
- No drama means no flaming. If you can't handle talking civilly to another member, tell a staff to help mediate. Don't fling shit at each other, guys, and don't spread rumors on the site or off the site.
- Respect the staff. We are your staff for a reason. We try to be chill, but remember that we also lay down the law.
- On PRE, we go by the card system. Yellow card means you get another chance. Red means you're out.
- If you have any complaints, please do voice them to the mods. Don't stay silent. We need to know.
- This site is PG-13. All content must follow this rule, both in posts and in the C-Box.
- PRE is game-based. Special/Adventure characters do not exist. Canon characters may share similar appearance or names, but this does not necessarily mean they are the same person.
- Icons must be 100x100 and signatures must not stretch the site.
- Bugging the Staff is not appreciated. We know your app is still pending. Please understand that the staff is busy as well.
- Swearing is allowed to a point. Abuse of this rule is frowned upon.
- Liquid Time is in play.
REGARDING CHARACTERS,
- Canons and OCs roleplay together on Predormitum. We expect activity and involvement from both.
- Only two canons per person to start with. Of those two, only one can be a main canon like Red or N. You may have as many OCs as you can keep active. If you are active with both canons, we'll allow more canons.
- If you create more than one character, it is required that one belongs to Nox and the other belongs to Lux to keep an even ratio of members. If you create five characters, at least one must belong to The Republic.
- Characters must pick a side. Even common citizens are either cooperating with Lux to survive, secretly sympathizing with the Nox rebellion, or seeking a peaceful solution under the banner of The Republic. Your character doesn't need to be actively involved from the get-go, but at least list who they're rooting for!
- Your new best friend is spell check and a dictionary. Please use proper grammar. We understand that English may not be your first language, but chatspeak makes everyone tear their hair out.
- There will be absolutely no God Modding, Power Playing, or Mary-Sues. Make your characters unique and diverse!
Note: Click here for a crash-course in god-modding.- Face Claims must be animanga, though CGI ones (ie: Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts) are allowed only if their face claim icons are of animanga fan art.
- Your character may have up to six Pokémon in their party and four Pokémon in their PC. This makes for a total of ten Pokémon.
- No TM or HM moves are permitted and must be bought through the Commissary. However, you are allowed one egg move or one move tutor move per pokemon. We go by the Gen V movesets.
- All Pokémon that your character does not begin with must be purchased via commissary. However, you are permitted to roleplay out the catching of the Pokémon and they may be wild if you wish.
- No Legendary Pokémon. That's a given. There's still the opportunity to run into one, but you will not be able to catch it.
- Keep everything PG-13. Predormitum is considered a 'dark' roleplay, so be careful not to overstep that line. If you're going to spend a night together in a hotel, FADE TO BLACK. PLEASE.
- There is no minimum word count, but we still expect quality posts.
- Try not to center-align your roleplay posts. It makes for difficult reading.
- Pokémon do not talk. The only exceptions to this rule are certain psychic type Pokémon or Pokémon that have been shown to speak via other methods (Lucario through aura, Chatot through repetition of words, etc.).
- Do not post where you are not supposed to. This rule. Just in case.
- Posts are to be in third person.
- Acceptable trainer classes can be found on Bulbapedia. However, please try to avoid classes unique to specific game characters.
- Any characters joining as "Twins" or a class that includes more than one character must all share the same Pokémon (totaling up to 10) and be played under one account.
- Level systems do not exist. Be smart. A Bellsprout is not going to survive charging a Charizard head-on.
- PRE does not have a battle system, so we leave this up to poetic license. Be sure not to god mode or power play.
- Characters may not start out with shiny pokemon. However, they can earn them later through rewards.
- Please update the PLAYER DIRECTORY each time you take on a new character.
- Abilities do not strictly apply here. Poetic license will be applied. A Shinx will not be intimidating an Arceus any time soon. Please be logical about this. If you are concerned about whether an ability would apply, simply ask a mod or admin.
- Also, please include a link to your profile and pc in your character's signature.
- After creating two characters, accounts must reach a minimum of 5 posts before members are permitted to create a new character.
- All applications must be written in the third person.
