[align=center][font=Impact][SIZE=20][color=white] BASIC RULES OF THE SITE[/align][/SIZE][/color][/font]
This is a Harry Potter roleplaying site. We are using the world of Harry Potter and some characters and the like, but we have also created our own pieces of it. Whatever isn't J. K. Rowling's creation is © to one of our members. DO NOT STEAL ANYTHING![LIST]
[*] When you join, you must use a character name, like Solomon Tussand or Tavin Joker. You might have to do a little searching but there are plenty of names out there for you to go off of.
[*] You must keep a positive attitude. Please don't flame anyone, for any reason.
[*] You must be literate! No chat speak, l337 5p33k, or symbols anywhere on the board. (Ex: +jumps over a rock+ Look, another rock! +picks up rock+)
[*] This is a 17-and-older roleplaying site - there will be cursing and mature situations. Do not join unless you are sure you can handle such things.
[*] Try to stay away from one liners since it doesn't give the people you're rping with much to work with.
[*] NO GODMODING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Godmoding is when you roleplay not only the actions of yourself but the actions of others. Its obnoxious and disrespectful. Do it and we shall roast your characters head on a spit.
[*] You only have thirty days to complete a member application, past that and it will be denied, if you haven't worked something out with an admin.
[*] UPON JOINING, you MUST have a character app started WITHIN FIVE DAYS. We will delete you if you don't start an application, especially if you are a canon!
[*] Any and all rated
[*]R threads must be put under password protection.
[*] Avatars must not be smaller than 100x100 or larger than 150x150.

[LIST]
[*] We will require ALL canons to stay active, and let us know if you can’t go through with this or need a break.
[*] Canon mirrors are not pre-assigned but you should probably try to keep the appearance similar so don't make the child of Luna Lovegood the complete opposite, at least keep them blond.
[*] All canons posts should be at least 150+ words especially in plot based situations.

[align=center][font=Impact][SIZE=20][color=white] MIRROR RULES[/align][/SIZE][/color][/font]
[LIST]*A photographic mirror must be a celebrity, as in; Someone famous, like band members, people from movies and plays.
[*]A hand
[*]drawn mirror or painting must be your own work or you must have written consent of the Artist. We would like you to put the Name of the piece, or character in the piece, as well as the artist, so we may ensure that they have consented. Do not steal other people's work.
[*]Famous Paintings/Drawings are NOT allowed, simply because the copyrighting is too complicated.
[*]Keep the mirror the same gender as your character! Even if they are normally in drag, ex: Jeffree Starr would still be a male character.
[*]No Double Mirrors, as in, Do Not post the same mirror for two characters. PM either Solomon Tussand or Tavin Joker for any exceptions for this rule, i.e. Twins.

Again, PM an Admin for any clarification on these rules, or questions about anything not listed.
[/LIST][align=center][font=Impact][SIZE=20][color=white] RULES OF MAGICAL CREATURES[/align][/SIZE][/color][/font]
[LIST]Unlike most sites, Spells and Seats has a large variety of magical creatures that one's character may be. We have everything from Trolls to Veelas, and there are some careful rules we'd like you to abide by.

[b]Blanket Rules (Rules covering every species):[/b]
[*]No violence to any character unless it is completely approved by the character victim to it.
[*]No God
[*]Moding (of course)
[*]You must put it in your application if you plan on being it. Now, we know sometimes you have a spur of the moment idea and suddenly want a species, so PM an Admin if you'd like a change into a Werewolf or Vampire later.
[*]All of these species can be killed

Vampire Mapout:
Vampires are the only species that are not self explanatory in JK Rowling's books, therefore, for this site, we will clarify a few things.
[*]Vampires can drink human OR animal blood
[*]Vampires do not have to kill when they feed, and they should not kill unless pre
[*]approved, or a non
[*]character of the site.
[*]Vampires cannot be exposed to the sun for long periods of time, for they literally burn like a human flown to the sun.
[*]They cannot sexually reproduce, they can only change humans into vampires. However, they can be sexually active, and if you need something that violates the rules, PM an admin, and we can work something out.
[*]Young vampires cannot drink the heart blood until they are at least a year old, and have drunk blood regularly (note: The Heart Blood is the very last drop of blood a person is living on, to drink it is to take their life, and change them into a vampire via magical properties)
[*]To change a person into a vampire, one must only drink their heart's blood.
[*]A vampire may eat and drink regular food and beverages, and their bodies dispose of it in the same way as a human does, via digestion, they simply do not gain any energy from it, and it is OPTIONAL.
[*]Any and all liquids from a vampire other than saliva is blood.
[*]If a vampire was a witch or wizard before they are changed, they are still so afterwards, meaning they still have that form of magic at their command.
[*]A vampire does not change into any creature due to becoming a vampire, they may only change into an animal if they are an animagus.
[*]Holy items have no physical effect on a vampire due to them being a vampire, they are only effected by them if they THINK they are effected by them, It's all in the head.

Werewolf:
The only thing I wish to clarify about werewolves, if they are made.
[*] They can be reproduced sexually, and can be made by a werewolf bite.

Werewolves and Vampires;
[*]You may only change a character WITH THEIR CONSENT (the person behind the character, not the character)
[*]While we recognize that it can happen, we would prefer no vampire/werewolf hybrids, because it is simply too powerful. It would like god-moding.
