General Rules

This site has a strictly supported Teen rating. We have chose upon this rating because we have members that are both younger and older, and the Forumotion rules frown upon members younger then the Teen demographic. Things like heavy making out, sex, graphic murdering, or other controversial topics are strictly banned and cant result in a strike, or into a ban.
We allow all members of roleplaying community to join us, from all types of skills. This combines relaxed and competitive roleplay together onto one community, which is why we have a scarce post minimum of 100 words. This is easy to reach, and is suggested for our less experienced members. It's to show that we appreciate roleplayers from the beginner stage to the advanced stage.
We have a semi-canon plot that we follow here. We learned about the Roman camp in "The Lost Hero", but this site actually takes place at the same time of The Lightning Thief. While Percy and his friends are taking a journey for their quest, the Roman campers are doing their own thing.
Please, do not make your character a Mary-Sue or Gary-Stu, perfect with few and limited flaws. Here is a Mary-Sue Lithmus Test to see if your character qualifies as a Mary-Sue or Gary-Stu in this case. Things like clumsiness aren't a flaw, for your information. This also runs the same way with rip-offs of characters already invented, such as Tercy Mackson, who is an airhead son of Neptune who wants to save the world. We already have Jason.
Using text speak, or any form of shorten type of speaking outside of the Chat area or the chatbox is prohibited. It ruins how the roleplay looks and messes up the flow. We understand if your character uses slang, but no 'U r goin 2 da market'. It's 'You are going to the market.'
Do not create multiple accounts unless you are asked to make another one for the use of a plot device, where you will be allowed to control a specific character known as an event character. Outside of that, doing this is completely out of question and results in two strikes
Arguing with a staff member when things dont go your way depends on the argument, and the staff member.

Battle Rules

We follow a sequence battling order here, so that means if it is a two v. two fight, it will go in A-B-A-B order. If it is a tag fight, it will go in the order of A1-B1-A2-B2, and any other forms for variations of the battles that you will use.

Please try to be logical in your explanation. You can injure somebody with a simple punch if done in the right place, and if they are extremely weak. You can't with a slap across the face. Allow the injuring, if needed and asked, to be done correctly.

There will be no killing due to mistakes done in posts, or things that aren't specified in posts. In order to make the rulings more fair, they will have to be hits that could potentially deal death and not mistakes done by the other roleplayer. It takes the spirit out of a worthy kill.

Your character CANT dodge everything. Therefore, there is a rule where you can't dodge or avoid three attacks in a row. And, there is no getting around the rule by taking minimal damage from the hit, and it still counting as a hit. Make the fight fun and fair.

I'm a little confused about the last point in the Battle Rules.
Your charrie can't dodge ANYTHING? What if it was poorly aimed or something? People do avoid hits in real life.

I'm sorry, that was a typo. It was meant to be 'everything'
