Rules:
1. There is in-character (IC), and there is out-of-character (OOC). Keep them separate. I'm sure that should be easy. If you dislike someone OOC, please try and leave that OOC. Your character does not have to get along with theirs, but your character should not hate theirs without any sort of reason. If two characters do not get along IC, that is not a reason for their players to not be at least civil to one another OOC.
2. No OOC drama. IC drama is fine, expected even. If everyone's characters got along all the time, there would be nothing to do. However, OOC drama is not wanted. Do you have a problem with someone? Try working it out with them first. Talk to them, discuss your differences. Can't work it out? Try and work around it. Don't have your characters interact, or have them interact as little as possible. This won't work? Your differences making you ready to leave the game? Talk to the mod. The mod will be more than happy to mediate or make a ruling, which will be final, but she would prefer that you not take things up directly with her. Try to work it out for yourself first.
3. Activity checks will be conducted every other Friday. Members are required to have participated in at least one roleplay every two checks. That means that you must participate in at least one roleplay every four weeks. Characters do not have to use their journals, but, if they do, they are to be actual journals, private to only the character unless stolen or another character is given permission, or letters, which are private between the characters unless stolen or shown to another character. For stolen and/or shown journals/letters, please have the consent of all parties involved. If Character A wants to show Character C a letter that Character B wrote to Character A, then the players of ALL THREE CHARACTERS must be in agreement. The characters theselves do not have to know, but the players must.
4. In-character actions create in-character consequences. If a subordinate character mouths off to their superior, the character will face consequences, and the player is expected acknowledge those consequences. Two days of solitary confinement do not need to be played out, but the character should react as if it happened.
5. Marriages, divorces, pregnancies, miscarriages, abortions, drug-related and other such storylines are allowed but must be discussed with the mod first. The mod wants to be sure that they will be handled appropriately and that there are not marriages and divorces happening in the blink of an eye. Relationships do not need to be cleared with the mod, only marriages.
6. Underage sexual content will NOT be allowed. The age of consent for the Crystalis Solar System is a blanket 18-years-old. If you are going to roleplay sexual situations either in the community or post the logs of it, you must be 18 or older (or at least give the mod no reason to think you are not) and your character must be as well.
7. RP logs must be under cut, and any mature themes must be specifically stated in the description.
7. Your journal name must be related to your character's name and not have excessive numbers, underscores, or other such things.
8. Holds will be good for one week, and one extension will be offered. After that, the PB is considered free game again.
9. The primary sort of roleplaying done is third-person, past tense, full sentences. If you and your partner or partners choose to play differently, that is fine, but please agree on it beforehand and accept that the majority of players will prefer third-person, past tense, and paragraphs.
10. A hiatus may be applied for. Simply tell the mod how long you expect to be gone for, and it will likely be granted. If IC roleplaying is done, you will be assumed to be off hiatus and will have to submit to activity checks again.
11. Do not use another person's character without permission. This includes that character's reaction to something yours says, does, or the like. If you aren't sure if you need permission for something or not, get it anyway.
12. One warning will be issued for breaking rules, then you will be removed from the community.
13. Be respectful to everyone. Mature behavior is loved.
14. Please write a biography post (at least 4 paragraphs) or a list of 15 detailed facts about your character and put it either on your character's profile or in their journal.

The planets that the characters can come from are discussed here, though a character may be from any walks of life mentioned in the planet description, such as citizens (of whatever class for those planets with different classes), captains (be they pirates, pirate hunters, tourist ships, merchants), crew members (same list), members of the governments of the planets, and so on.
