1.) Currently, we ask that each character has their own account. This will make things easier to seperate when it comes to money and whatnot. There's an easy way to switch accounts on the lower right hand corner of your screen to make things easier when switching accounts.2.) Regardless of character class, each character is only allowed to carry up to six Pokemon at any given time. You can change the team your character is carrying each new thread, but once you call out six Pokemon in any given thread, those are the six Pokemon you're allowed to use until the remainder of that specific thread.3.) When creating characters, please consider what type of character your writing as Mary Sue's/Gary Stu's aren't really favored on this site.. These are characters who seem to have no flaws, or any 'flaws' they might have are just simple character traits. If you're still unsure, here are a couple descriptions from Urban Dictionary:'A Mary Sue is a character who is so perfect that he or she warps the world around them to display their perfection. It seems as though nothing in this universe except Mary Sue is even real, and is instead a plot device to make Mary Sue seem flawless and loved. A Mary Sue can destroy a piece of writing or media, since the characters existence will often forcibly make the world and people around them defy logic to simply display how amazingly radiant they are. The term is meant to describe any and all characters that seemingly warp reality simply to display their perfection, but some people do use terms such as “Marty Sue” or “Gary Sue” as a male nickname for a Mary Sue. It’s also important to know that in an attempt to make a character seem less Sue-ish, authors will often give their Mary Sue a “flaw” that is actually just a stale trait in disguise. This has lead to many different sub genres of the Mary Sue, thigh all are just as boring and cliche as the original.''A Mary Sue is an original character (oc) and has no flaws. Of course the author of this oc will say "they are clumsy" or "they are not very good at maths" or whatever. They will most probably have a power or an evil twin/ dark side. They also might have an impossible bloodline. Such as a half werewolf or half fairy.'4.) Currently, there is no minimum word count for the site. We simply ask that you use proper grammar and punctuation. However, more words might equal a better story, and in some cases with certain mods, extra things after the end of a modded thread.5.) Characters are allowed to go wherever they want, as OMS is technically an open world roleplay. However, many of the gym leaders and elite four members will still have Pokemon leveled according to what order you fight them. Levels will only differ after defeating them and challenging them to a rematch.6.) We do allow face claims on here, however we ask that you refrain using any characters that are from the Pokemon Anime, games and show as we will be using a mixture of those three things on here and don't want to have any confusion as to why someone looks like a gym leader or Ash Ketchum when they could potentially be modded characters here on OMS.
7.) When starting with a new character, we don't force each character to go into the lab. When accepted, the mod that accepted your character will give you your starter, however will just come with the basic moveset and ability. In order to receive egg moves and a chance of your starter being shiny, you'll have to request getting a starter at the lab instead.
8.) Once you start in any specific region, your character must stay traveling there until they either receive three badges or one ribbon. Once they do that, they're allowed to travel to the other regions as they wish. Note that this rule does not apply for special areas, such as the Outside Isles catogorey.
9.) Characters are allowed to have more than one thread at a time going -- however, they are only allowed one modded thread at one time. As well as, once a thread starts, you're only allowed to use the Pokemon you had at the time. So if your character has an active thread with another character in a city, but you create a modded thread and catch a Pokemon while the first thread is on going, you can't use the Pokemon you caught in the new thread as they haven't existed in the new thread.
