General Premise 42 42 564 Redux is the remake of a now-closed previous roleplay site! We are an OC-based Soul Eater roleplay forum. OCs are characters that you make yourself. There is no roleplaying of "canon" characters (such as Maka or Soul), but when canon characters are needed for a minor part in a storyline, they are regarded as NPCs - or Non Player Characters. This way, anyone can borrow a canon character to further the plot in a minor way easily without having to wait for the roleplayer of the canon character to come online. However, canon characters should not be a main character in your roleplay or history. No being a major assistance in your mission, hooking up with your character, or the like. This does not rule out searching for or finding Excalibur (for example), but does rule out your character owning Excalibur. Out-of-character Rules For when you are socializing with your fellow roleplayers. 1) The Golden Rule Internet etiquette - and general societal politeness - is advised here. We understand if members have had a bad day, but having respect for the other members of the forum is a good thing to have. Don't repeatedly bash anyone, otherwise you will be punished. In the public chatbox at the bottom of the page, there are three warnings before a ban whose length is determined by the severity of the actions. Let's also remember that not everyone may be as literate as you are. Even so, it is good to be respectful - helpful pointers are much different than grumbling about someone's style. 2) "SPAM" Stupid, pointless, annoying messages are completely unnecessary. Let's try not to annoy the other members of your community. 3) Personal Problem Personal problems with other members are not to be fought out via the forums - or the chatbox if it gets too extreme - and would be better taken to a private messaging system, whether Skype, MSN, email, or the like. Please respect the other members and not force them to be awkward bystanders to a catfight. Warnings will be issued for fights in the public cbox, especially for the harassment of another member. 4) Images When an image moves the forum out of proportion (meaning, greater than 800px), please either put it under a Spoiler: click to toggle or link it.5) Signatures and Avatars Do not use too many signatures as they make the forum load slower as well as make it take longer to scroll. If you have too many signatures, the staff may tell you to remove them or an administrator will do it themselves. You may, of course, use a spoiler tag in your signature. The maximum width and height of signatures is now 600x400px - spoiler tags, of course, may have tons in them as long as they're not constantly visible and stretching the forum. Helpful hint! If you don't know what to do with your signature, put a link to your character(s) for easy reference! 6) Sexual content The site does not allow written porn (smut) on its forums. Kissing and hugging is, of course, allowed: there is no going farther than that. Keep thing PG-13, and feel free to fade to black if need be. The same goes for images depicting sexual acts (hentai) - whether posted on the forum or linked, it is not allowed. This rule is enforced on the public chatbox as well. 7) Multiple Accounts People are free to use multiple accounts for the common personal preference of one per character, or to have a "secret identity" for whatever reason. Accounts that use the same IP address may be subjected to rules as one person. Any person with multiple accounts and/or multiple identities must inform the admin and mods. Everyone is generally given the benefit of the doubt in regards to family and friends, but if the staff suspect you of being one person, everyone that shares that IP address will be treated as one person in regards to rules - for example, the character creation time buffer - until proven otherwise. In Character Rules For when you are roleplaying with your character(s). 1) Out of Character talk There are multiple ways to talk with your fellow roleplayer in a roleplay thread, such as ((this)), [this], or even {things like this}. Make it clear you're speaking out of character. Please do not make an entire page of merely chatting {out of character} in your in-character roleplay. There is a private messaging system for a reason if needed. 2) Monologues/purple prose No anime-driven roleplayer can survive with its life blood. Feel free to write as you please; but remember that 10,000 words of fluff in the midst of battle is a tad unnecessary. 3) No powerplaying. To powerplay, for this site, is defined roughly as: i. To avoid all incoming attack. While some characters specialize in dodging or being speedy on their feet, do remember that not every one is perfect. Repetitive back and forth battles are, generally, unfun to write or read. ii. To control another player's character, whether through actions or portraying what they think without help from the other player. The exception, of course, is weapons. However, it is suggested that roleplayers of weapons collaborate with the meister so as to avoid conflicts. 5) Character moderation As modding a character takes a lot of time and effort for both the admins and roleplayer, characters will not be immediately modded if:
In general, we encourage roleplayers to spend time with their characters instead of constantly making new ones without caring for the old ones. To show you read the rules, please put the word "bat" in your profile's RP Sample - remember it has multiple meanings. We have a hiatus box for characters a roleplayer owns, but is no longer interested in at the moment, but may pick them up at a later date. 6) Character type embargoes If the site is getting swamped by certain character types (for example: werewolves or Shibusen friendly witches), the admins can put a temporary embargo on that type of character. This is not to be a bias, but merely to keep things fair and interesting for everyone. There may be exclusions in very, very special cases. Currently, there is an embargo on the Shinigami race, and members of the Star and Hoshi clans. 7) Partnership A weapon and meister (or weapon and weapon) may only partner with a character from a different roleplayer. In essence, you may not partner with yourself. 8) Male Witches Seem absurdly rare if extant at all. We will allow some, but it will require a structurally sound profile that proves determination and skill. 9) Witches Your character may not defeat a witch in a mission or social thread with the intent to eat his or her soul without admin approval. This is to keep fairness. 10) Do not SCREAM It is fairly unnecessary for your character to constantly be talking IN ALL CAPS. When they have a good reason, it's fine of course, but don't abuse it. 11) NPCs or Non Player Characters As said before, any NPC may be used by anyone (whether it is a nurse at the hospital, or Spirit giving you a mission) but are not to be a major part in any storyline. 12) Posting Order Unless it is otherwise stated, there is always a set posting order defined either before the thread starts, or by how the first round is played out. For example, in a thread where no posting order was pre-determined, Bob posts first, then Alice, and then Rick. That order continues for the duration of the thread unless special circumstances (like collaboration posts) occur. 13) RP Style We would like to remind RPers that we use a 3rd person past tense narration style while in RP. While we generally would like this guideline to be enforced, if your fellow RPers are fine with you using a different style in your current thread then go ahead, just be sure to ask before you join a thread. We normally use a 3rd person style for simplicity's sake. It helps separate people's posts and makes it easier to tell which characters are being used. It is less confusing when reading previous posts which then makes it easier to understand what is going on. This in turn makes reading other people's posts less headache inducing when trying to work out what you should post. As 42r's standard form of RP it also makes all the posts more organized. Thanks to Shinigami and Imp from the original 42 for the rules and thanks to Hyst and Tatsuken for keeping it updated. |

Removed the shibusen witch embargo, and I will be elaborating any special rules for them soon. Only thing I am particularly worried about is a sudden influx of shibuwitches, so depending on what happens in the near future we might put limits on their numbers.

Noticed that the spoiler codes weren't mention in the image section of the rules, so I put that in |
