This will be a little guide as to how things work on this board. If you have any suggestions, just post them, then eventually I'll put them all in this post, delete the rest, and sticky it. I think Azmodon pretty much covered it all:

Quote from: Azmodon
Your starting weapons when you join the party can not be "super duper smithed by teh greatest smith evar with teh leetest stones/ores evar."
Some things that seem common in BESM or anime games/stories, are usually very, very silly.
You can not have the skills and knowledge of someone who is 200+ years old and still look 16 without some serious magic/quest to back it up. Something you earned, not just, "Oh, I did it a long time ago, before this story began."
You can not have cheesecake armor. Just no. (Cheesecake armor is silly revealing or just plain nonsense. It covers maybe 30-50% of your body and has better defense and maneuverability than full plate mail.
Your sword/whatever can not cut through stone/adamantine/Jesus' toenails.
You can not fly for no reason.
You can not manifest magical abilities without prior explanation.
You can not be another word for a mule.
No min/maxing.
No power gaming.

+That, and of course, keep it clean. I mean PG-13 clean.
+Oh, and you can say who you think should post next, just don't say "only this person may post", then people will be waiting on that one person to post.
+Don't directly influence someone else's character without their approval. Examples:
Thor blows up the Earth.
Thor kills everyone participating in this story.
Thor smites Alcor, leaving Alcor paralyzed.

+If you're unsure about people's ability to read what you posted (verbiage or downright gibberish) pass it through Microsoft Word/Open Office/Word Perfect. Heck, at least use the spell check button.
+Please read the above posts before you decide to come in and make the story take a right turn into a brick wall.


Any suggestions?

Oh. New one. Take some votes or something, because this typically is an unwritten rule of roleplaying around here.

No Mary Sues.

A Mary Sue a character that seems just too perfect or stereotypical, or has some random quality that doesn't affect it's ability to be perfect. There are other definitions to this, if you know them, please add on.

Examples:
(Taken from a current person who seems silly to me with his character.)
Let's just say someone made a do-gooder Dark Elf, who happened to be Chaotic Good, used two Scimitars to full effectiveness, and was in many other ways similar to a certain intellectual property of Salvatore. That person's character would be a Mary Sue. If that person also said their character was in the same world, searching for said intellectual property, and that said intellectual property was his brother, and that he himself spontaneously had evil dragon blood in him and was still magnificently Chaotic Good, he'd be crossing the line even further. (Bad Dustin, bad!)
Or, let's say someone took their hybrid character, and made them seem better than hybrids honestly are. "I can cast Apocolypse and destroy towns, and still own pure fighters in combat." etc. etc. etc. That is also bad.
A nutty professor. -> Wizard/Sorcerer with low Wisdom.
An extremely intelligent and equally powerful fighter.
Anything that could possibly be related to snakes on a plane. A.K.A. any character who really doesn't have flaws.
