STATS OVERVIEW ▼ The site uses a loose stat system. We don't plan on forcing members to whip out a calculator or start doing dice rolls at any time in order to figure out whether or not an attack hits, or how much health they have, or how much damage they do, but stats are useful to use a guideline for how strong your character should be while you're writing them. To start, there are six stats: Health, Mana, Strength, Defense, Speed, and Magic. Here's a breakdown of what those stats mean: - Health: How much health a character has. Literally how much damage they can end up taking.
- Mana: How much magic a character has. How many spells they could cast at once.
- Strength: How strong a character is. How much damage a physical attack does.
- Defense: How easily a character can shrug off an attack. This differs from health in that-- health would be falling, breaking a leg, and still being okay. Defense would be falling and not breaking a leg.
- Speed: How fast a character is, and how agile they are. How good they are at dodging and how acrobatic they are.
- Magic: How strong their magic is. This differs from Mana; the former is how many spells they could cast, but this is how powerful each spell would be.
Each stat has up to five possible levels, shown like below: - Health: ☆☆☆☆☆
- Mana: ☆☆☆☆☆
- Strength: ☆☆☆☆☆
- Defense: ☆☆☆☆☆
- Speed: ☆☆☆☆☆
- Magic: ☆☆☆☆☆
When first creating a character, you are allowed to fill up to ten of those stars. However, no category may be left blank, and no category may have more than three filled in. An example is below: - Health: ★★★☆☆
- Mana: ★☆☆☆☆
- Strength: ★★☆☆☆
- Defense: ★★☆☆☆
- Speed: ★☆☆☆☆
- Magic: ★☆☆☆☆
Don't worry, there are ways to increase a character's stats! The easiest way is to join a Union, which you can do from the very start. Each union offers a bonus. A glance at this sample stat makes it pretty clear that this character is already a good fit for the Solaris Union, so we're going to put them there, so now we can fill in a bonus star in both Health and Defense: - Health: ★★★★☆
- Mana: ★☆☆☆☆
- Strength: ★★☆☆☆
- Defense: ★★★☆☆
- Speed: ★☆☆☆☆
- Magic: ★☆☆☆☆
If you app a Mentor or a Villain, you'll be granted the same opportunity to have bonus stars, though the bonus stars are more flexible and will be based upon the character's strength. How can you further increase stats? Every time you rank up, you can fill in another star. At this point the stars you fill in are entirely up to you, though it's important to remember the roll of your Union. Focusing on speed and magic and ignoring increasing Defense and Health any further if you're in Solaris might seem like a fun way to 'fight the system', but it may be something you regret in the future. There are ten ranks, giving you ten chances to fill in additional stars. Once you hit the rank of Master, roughly five ranks in, you will be given one chance to upgrade one stat beyond five spots. This stat must already be full and must be one of the two stats given a bonus at the start. It would look something like this: - Health: ★★★★★✭
- Mana: ★☆☆☆☆
- Strength: ★★★☆☆
- Defense: ★★★★☆
- Speed: ★★☆☆☆
- Magic: ★☆☆☆☆
The only time that this bonus may be used later is if your character was a civilian who, through character progression, joined a Union later in time. |

RESERVES/CLAIMS ▼ Canons can be reserved for 72 hours. Please use this site to see what time it would be in EST (the time that the admin currently exists in) so that your claim can be processed in the correct form. If you do not finish within the 72-hours, your reserve will be deleted. You may still finish your app, but if someone else makes a claim for the canon then their app will take precedence. If you know you won't be able to make it in the 72 hours, please contact staff. Depending on the circumstance, we may extend the deadline for you. We want to try to work with you! But we can't promise an extention without knowing the circumstance. To reserve a canon: [b]OOC Name:[/b]
[b]Canon:[/b]
[b]Date Reserved:[/b] Put down both the take and the time (in EST). The reserve will be removed at the 72 hour mark.To claim your canon: [b]OOC Name:[/b]
[b]Canon:[/b]
[b]App:[/b] Put a link to your accepted app here |

DISNEY CANONS ▼ If you have an interest in a disney canon, please let us know. Because of the long list it would not be feasible to list them all; rather, we will only list the ones taken here. We will only take disney canons from movies that have appeared in game. Disney properties that have not shown up in the games will not be considered. Villain CRUELLA DEVILLE |

MENTOR SYSTEM The mentor system is designed to reward members who have shown themselves to be reliable, dependable, and helpful to the site. It's a way to give new members people to turn to when staff are not around as well, and to let them know that they can trust the information they're being given by these people.
First, what is a mentor? A mentor is not a staff member. It is extremely important to note this. A mentor will not be involved in application review, in disciplinary procedures, site updates, advertising, running events, or general site upkeep (of course, becoming a mentor is a good step towards becoming staff if that is something you are interested in). Mentors are members.
A mentor is a member who is familiar with the site. They know the rules, they know the guidelines, they know what is it and isn't acceptable for characters. They understand how the stats and the abilities work. They're active, often around, friendly and chatty. In short, a mentor is someone willing to take a newcomer under their wing and guide them through the initial application process and even through their first couple threads to help them get acquainted to the site.
There are perks to being a mentor. Additional races are opened up, as well as keyblade armor, dream eater companions, and other character quirks.
Why are these limited to Mentors?
Because Mentors are offering a service to the site and it's only fair to reward them for this.
In order to become a mentor, you must be a member of the site for at least two weeks. During that time, you must be active, courteous, and engaging. It's not a requirement, but it helps if you have two characters or show an interest in playing another character. Finally, you cannot apply to be a mentor. You can only be recommended to be one by another mentor.

EXPERIENCE & MUNNY EXPERIENCE ▼ One experience point is earned every time you do an IC post. That's an important distinction; plotting, playing games on the site, and anything else won't count. You start at level Zero, and can work your way up through ten levels. To get to the last level you'll need to total of 325 exp which is... a lot. Most of the important level ups and bonuses are given prior to that, so don't worry. The levels, and the bonuses they are, are as such: - Newcomer: 0 Posts. At this rank, you can only use three abilities or spells, and only at level 1. Civilians will only be at this level regardless of their experience.
- Initiate: 10 Posts. At this rank you can only use three abilities or spells, with one being level 2.
- Trainee: 25 Posts. At this rank you can use four abilities or spells, with two being level 2 and two being level 1.
- Rookie: 45 Posts. At this rank you can use four abilities or spells, with one being level 3, two being level 2, and one being level 1.
- Apprentice: 70 Posts. At this rank you can use five abilities or spells, with one being level 3, two being level 2, and two being level 1.
- Examinee: 100 Posts. At this rank you can use five abilities or spells, with one being level 3, two being level 2, and two being level 2.
- Master: 135 Posts. At this rank you can use six abilities or spells, with one being level 3, two being level 2, and three being level 1. This is also the level will you can get the bonus stat star. Please see the stat guide if you have questions.
- Grand Master: 175 Posts. At this rank you can use six abilities or spells, with two being level 3, two being level 2, and two being level 1.
- Archon: 220 Posts. At this rank you can use seven abilities or spells, with one being level 4, two being level 3, two being level 2, and two being level 1.
- Grand Archon: 270 Posts. At this rank you can use seven abilities or spells, with two being level 4, two being level 3, two being level 2, and one being level 1.

MAGIC & ABILITIES BASICS ▼ So you want your character to be able to kick some butt. Who doesn't? A lot of the fun of roleplaying is taking a character who can barely lift a stick, and turning them into a beast waving a sword. In order to properly do that, let's talk about how Magic and Abilities are on the site. First, let's talk about the difference between Plot and Battle magic or abilities. To sum it up, Plot abilities would be what your character can do in a cutscene, while the battle ones are what they can actually do in a fight. Plot is what you can do in a normal thread, and because of this you have quite a bit of leeway. This is where you can add in unique twists and flairs for you character. An example would be how Tarzan has Wind Armor and Ariel has Aero Potion, both of which have the same effect as the Aero spell. Battle magic and abilities is what you would actually be using in battle. These abilities would be far more restrictive. Using the example above, Wind Armor has its equivalence in Aero. You do not need to have a battle version of every plot ability. You just can only use battle magic in actual battles. MAGIC ▼ The list of spells that can be purchased can be found in the shop, but we're going to go over how those spells should be written out there. Name: Self explantory. This is the name of the spell, such as Fire or Blizzard. Level: There are four levels, 1-4. Civilians cannot learn anything past level one, and Union members need to rank up in order to learn higher levels. Description: What does this spell do? Cooldown: A rule of thumb is that the cooldown (posts needed in order to use the spell again) should be the level of the ability plus one. Depending on the Union of your character though, there is some flexibility in this. ABILITIES ▼ The list of abilities that can be purchased can be found in the shop, but we're going to go over how those spells should be written out there. Name: Self explantory. This is the name of the spell, such as Strike Raid or Slapshot. Level: There are four levels, 1-4. Civilians cannot learn anything past level one, and Union members need to rank up in order to learn higher levels. Description: What does this ability do? Cooldown: A rule of thumb is that the cooldown (posts needed in order to use the ability again) should be the level of the ability plus one. Depending on the Union of your character though, there is some flexibility in this. |

CHARACTER GROUPS SOLARIS ▼ The Solaris Union is a union based around strength and protection. Essentially, the tanks. They're strong and can take a beating, but they're not the best with magic and while they can dish out the hurt, they can't do it really fast enough to often matter. But they can soak up the damage like no tomorrow. Solaris is lead by Sol. THESE ARE TANKS. They have health and defense bonuses. LUNAR ▼ The Lunar Union is made up of swift attackers who know how to deal damage. They might not be able to take it but, through both magic and physical attacks, they know how to dish it out. Lunar is lead by Luna. THESE ARE DPS (damage per second). They have speed and strength bonuses. GAIAN ▼ Gaian Union focuses on supporting the other two unions. They are almost solely magic users and use solely support magic to protect them and bolster their strength. Gaian is lead by Gaia. THESE ARE HEALERS. They have Magic and Mana bonuses. CIVILIANS ▼ In order to join a union, a character must be at least 16 years old. If your character is younger than 16, or if they are not a fighter, then they would be a civilian. Civilians have no bonuses, and they also cannot enter (thread) in any of the highly dangerous worlds. MENTORS ▼ If your character is already skilled, you can petition for them to be a mentor. The bonuses they would recieve would be based upon what they could teach. VILLAINS ▼ While fairly self-explanatory-- villains are villains. Those who would want to tear the unions apart. |

RULES CODE OF CONDUCT ▼ - RESPECT - Respect the staff and fellow site members. Do not insult someone for viewing something differently, for having a differing opinion, for disagreeing with you, etc. If a site member or a staffer requests you to stop doing something please listen to them or else staff will take actions to ensure you do listen.
- PROBOARDS TOS - Proboards has revealed their options for sites with higher than PG-13 ratings, but this site has not opted for that option. Due to this we ask that all mentions of anything that would occur between the sheets be taken off-site, as well as any excessive amounts of violence.
- ACTIVITY LEVEL - We ask that all members be able to be around and post roughly one a week. Additionally, canons are required to maintain an activity level of at least two posts a week. If this is not followed, staff reserves the right to take a canon character away from the player. Should you know that you will be gone for any amount of time please inform us so that your characters and claims are not placed back up for others to use. Any absence that lasts longer than seven days should be posted so that site members can adjust their plans accordingly.
Additionally, if a thread does not receive a reply within a week, and none of the participants have given an away notice, the thread will be moved to an 'inactive' archive. Should no further posts be made in the following month, the thread will be deaded and archived. Threads will only be brought back out if all members agree to have it unarchived. This is so that members do not find themselves stuck in a thread that no longer fits in with their character's personal timeline.
ROLEPLAYING CONTENT ▼ - WRITING LEVEL - there is no minimum word count on this site but we would classify ourselves as 'literate' to 'advanced literate'. We are more than willing to work with those who are beginners or those who are still at a lower writing level but only if there is a willingness and a want to improve. This means that we ask for you to not take offense if a staff member contacts you about the quality if your writing. We do this to help you, not to embarrass or insult you, and we would never do this is any public manner.
- RELATIONSHIPS: 'Shipping' characters together is immense amounts of fun and both your admins enjoy doing so. This site, however, is not just for that. This is designed for those who enjoy plot and story as well as simply deciding that character A and B are meant for each other. If you only want to join because of that then please take some time to consider either finding a new site, or exploring a new area of roleplaying. Telling the story is immensely rewarding.
Please be aware that just because a relationship occurred in canon does not mean it will play out here. Every player has the right to decide their character's orientation and who they do and don't like, regardless of canon. No one can be forced to play out a ship they do not like. - PAIRINGS: With that being said, we fully expect that relationships will emerge. We would just like to remind all members that no one owes you a pairing, no matter how badly you may think that two characters belong together. Players may also support ships you do not - this is their right.
GRAPHIC RULES ▼ - AVATARS - Please make sure your avatars, both for the site and the box, are not .gifs. Staff will remove them if they are.
- SIGNATURES - Signatures are not used on this site. They have been removed from the skin.
- GIFS - The only place you may use a gif is in the 150x150 avatar of the miniprofile. Please refer to the miniprofile set-up guide for more information.
CHARACTER CREATION RULES ▼ - OOC NAMES: Please do not use the name or nickname of a canon character for your OOC name. Staff will ask you to change it if you do not comply with this rule. Please also do not use an original character's name as this will make it less confusing when referring to a member versus a character.
- REGISTRATION: When creating an account, please register using the character's first name only, for tagging convenience. If your account's registered name does not comply with this rule, staff will request that you reregister.
- APPING NEW CHARACTERS: The first two characters on the site are 'free'. Afterward players will be required to make fifteen IC posts with their characters before being able to app another one. This amount is required from all their characters; if there are two characters currently apped they both would need fifteen posts in order to app the third - when apping the fourth they would need thirty and the third character fifteen. Etc., etc.
- CANON/ORIGINAL CHARACTER RATIOS: In order to make sure canon characters are available for all members, players are only allowed one canon for every two original characters they play.
- ACTIVITY REQUIREMENTS: If playing an OC and there has been no absence posted, all claims and character information will be archived after two weeks. For canon characters, this time period is reduced to one week. Please inform us of any absences so that we do not archive a claim if you still intend on being active.
- CANON CHARACTERS: If you wish to app a canon character, post in the Canon List thread to reserve them. After reserving them, you have 72 hours to post a completed application. Once that has been done, staff will review the app within 24 hours. We may ask you to make changes to the application, or request a sample of how you play the character, which must be completed within the next 48 hours.
The sample prompt will be randomly generated and PMed to you by staff. These prompts are meant to test your ability to play the character ICly, and are made to ensure that you cannot recycle a post. (As a side note, if you find that you can, in fact, recycle an old post for the prompt, please let us know, as we would love to check out the site you used this on.)
We do not often ask for samples unless we deem that your app has a number of grammatical errors or does not provide enough insight into how you would play the character. This being said, staff also reserves the right to revoke the privilege of playing any canon if it is clear that they are being played grossly OOCly or is not following the canon activity requirements.

THE STORY THUS FAR ▼ ♚ The Seven Lights stood against the Thirteen Darknesses, and they won. The worlds were safe. Xehanort has been defeated. The keyblade wielders have won. In doing so, Kingdom Hearts was restored to its full glory. It left a large, looming task ahead of the warriors-- Several, in fact. To protect Kingdom Hearts, to rebuild the ranks of the keyblade wielders, and to protect the worlds from the now-permanent heartless threat. Kingdom Hearts itself had the answer. Three beings were born from it: Sol, a being of the Sun, Luna, a being of the Moon, and Gaia, a being of the Earth. They were to be the leaders of the new Unions and, where the Unions were based around competing with one another before, now they would be focused on working together. The Unions would work together to protect the worlds. |
