RULES & FAQ

• Being in the discord is a requirement for membership, however you are able to take breaks from the server if it becomes overwhelming-- just make sure that you let a staff member know. 

• No harassment or bullying of any kind is tolerated. Respect your fellow members and treat them as friends. 

• We do activity checks every once in awhile. We promise they don't have any crazy requirements.

• If we receive multiple complaints or find that you make the group majority uncomfortable, it's in our best interest that we consider your removal from the group. Should this happen, it will remain a private matter. 

• On that note, if another member is making you uncomfortable, please speak with the mod(s) about the situation. There is always a very real possibility that you aren't the only one feeling that way. 

• While in our group, we ask that you do not speak poorly or gossip about other groups within public channels. It brings into question the integrity and values of our own group, so we prefer that these conversations only take place in private DMs or circumstantially the vent channel. 

• We have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy on art and literature that depicts minors in an NSFW way. This includes kink/fetish work. If we find out that you are doing this, you will be promptly removed and blocked from the group without appeal. 

• No spamming, hate-speech, or bullying is tolerated. 

• Do not ignore others, and try to acknowledge someone if nobody else has. It's not fun for anyone to be left out. 

• No mini-modding. There are some situations where this is okay, such as directing someone to a particular page to answer their question-- we allow some long time members to answer questions as well. Please do not moderate if you are not a mod-- it only stirs up drama. 

• Post in the correct channels. If you are unsure, ask! If you post something and its not in the right channel, no big shakes, just fix it!

• Keep NSFW content in the designated channels. Access to NSFW channels will be automatically granted to members. You are more than welcome to ask for the role to be removed if you do not want it. 

• Please keep any venting / dark or negative topics within the designated venting channel. It is an optional channel that you must opt into via role selection. 

• Try to stay on topic and let the chat flow.

• Please try to avoid using flashing bright emojis/gifs in our server. If you must post one, please spoiler and tag it. 

• Follow all of the guidelines in the character creation guide.

• There is no limit to how many of the same pokemon members use for characters-- to a certain extent. There isn't technically a cap, but if we get twelve umbreons, we may have to implement limitations. Try to keep your character of the same species as another character looking different enough that we can tell who is who. 

• Please keep your visual application SFW. No visible feminine nipples, bulges, various creases, excessive gore, obvious fetish content, etc. 

• The character design you are using must be 100% yours to use, or you have been granted explicit written permission by the original creator to use it. Designs from you have purchased/acquired as adoptables are fine as long as you are following the creators rules.

• There is no anthro vs. gijinka debate. They're both awesome. 

• Please avoid self-inserts. 

• No godmodding, power play, mary suing, mega-op character interactions. Your character is not an omnipresent being or a god. 

• Do not purposefully ignore another persons character, especially if they are directly interacting with yours! If you have an issue with the interaction and do not wish to respond, please contact a mod. 

• No ship chasing, please.

• Keep roleplay and personal interactions separate. Do not use IC conflicts to justify OOC hostility. 

• Explicit, graphic, or mature themes must follow the group’s content policy. Mark sensitive material appropriately.

• Do I have to have a deviantart account to participate?

Nope! As long as we can access your application, there won't be any issues. We  definitely prefer for our members to have accounts, however, as submitting art to the gallery helps us to appear as active as we are!

• Is there a limit on how many characters I can create?

Technically... no. But we do think you should only make what you can keep up with. 

• Can my character die? How does that work?

Your character can die! Only with your permission though. If you want them gone during a group event or something like that, feel free to ask the mods and we will arrange something. Outside of events and raids, it would be up to you to carry out that deed. This will not open up a character slot.

• How can I join the mod team?

At the moment, we are not open for any additional moderators! We’re super comfy with the team we have now. It's possible that we may ask for help in the future, though this is most often handled privately behind the scenes with members that we trust.

• Does my character have to come from a system that matches their pokemon typing?

Nope! Your character can come from any system. It’s just more common for mons of that type to live on the designated systems.

• Legendaries, UB's, Mythics, Megas, Shinies?

Yes, to all of the above!
