RULES//
1. Mature content is not only allowed in this community, but will be a major part in plot. All players must be 17+ and not only able to deal with violence and sexuality, but play it maturely.
2. AIM-compatible instant messaging is required, but it doesn't need to be specifically for this community. Character journals, on the other hand, must be for The City and only for The City.
3. Played-bys (PBs) are required. That means your character will be represented by a real person. If you need help finding someone to represent your character, the mods are happy to help.
4. This is a Naruto AU role-play community, and as such only Naruto characters are allowed. Deceased characters are allowed, as are filler characters, but we expect detailed, impressive applications since many of these characters are not as developed as those who star in the manga. "They don't have much information about them" is not an excuse for a lacking application.
5. One person may have as many characters as they can handle. It isn't necessary, but try to put them in different castes. Pets can only be apped if they have a master lined up and ready for one. (Note: There is a separate application for pets. Please contact the mods if you wish to apply for a pet.)
6. There will be no activity checks, however if the mods feel a character is being underplayed they will talk to the player. If the mods decide a character keeps being ignored at detriment to the community, they will make the player drop them.
7. Play your own character(s) and only your own character(s). You may never speak for what someone else's character is going to do. Also remember that no one character is more powerful than all other characters in the game. Even the strongest character has the potential of being subdued. If the mods tell you your character is too strong, your character is too strong and must be modified. Interaction between characters is also key, so please do not have two characters that you play constantly talking to one another.
8. Respect for other players is a must. What happens in character (IC) stays IC and what happens out of character (OOC) stays OOC. Players may deal with disagreements amongst themselves or take it to the mods. However, if player fighting gets out of hand, the mods reserve the right to remove the people involved from the community.
9. Character pregnancy is not allowed. Marriages, divorces, and relationships of any kind are allowed!
10. This is a player-driven community, not an event-driven one. That means while we will have events, they may not always include everyone (they may only pertain to one caste at a time), and they will not be regular occurrences. The mods have plot in store for The City, but players need to create their own plot as well. If you're having trouble getting your character involved the mods would be happy to help you, but do not complain that you don't have any plot - that's your responsibility.
11. Everyone in The City speaks English. The dirt-hairs are the only ones who would know Japanese, so they are the only ones who are allowed to use suffixes and broken Japanese, but don't overdo it. Hokage doesn't like Japanese and dirt-hairs can get in trouble using it.
12. Enjoy your time at The City! The mods have an overarching plot to offer the players, but players are encouraged to create their own plots as well!
Have any questions? Feel free to IM the city mods on AIM!
