These include character and/or account deletion and up to a lifetime ban from the server, including the discord.

	* PERMAKILLING - Only you, the player, have the right to say when your character should (if ever) be permakilled. It cannot be enforced upon you by another player. There are exceptions to this when a particular character has become a known villain, and does something to warrant such a fate. This can only be done by a DM through events with consent granted ahead of time. ~~A new character may be granted if it~~ is ~~destroyed in this particular instance~~.		* PERMAKILLING - Only you, the player, have the right to say when your character should (if ever) be permakilled.

This can only be done by a DM through events with consent granted ahead of time. Character deletion is also rarely used as a form of punishment by the DM team.

	* CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS - It is strongly recommended that you work on a description for your characters. Descriptions are tools many people use for determining RP compatibility, and not having one can adversely impact your ability to find RP. ~~You are responsible for the~~ listing of your ~~own lights. Only if someone violates your listed lights do you have any option for DM recourse. It is also advisable to ask the other player before indulging~~ in ~~extreme fetishes not listed~~ in ~~their lights~~. You, as a player, have the right to remove yourself from any sexual situation which makes you uncomfortable OOCly. ~~These are primarily IC spaces~~ used to ~~further enhance RP. This is not a place~~ for ~~folks~~ to ~~vent about their OOC~~ dislikes ~~against certain character types or players~~ in a ~~hostile~~ manner~~, AKA bashing. People read descriptions for the IC info, not what pisses you off OOCly~~. If a Description is found to be particularly offensive, you may be told to adjust it.		* CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS - It is strongly recommended that you work on a description for your characters. Descriptions are tools many people use for determining RP compatibility, and not having one can adversely impact your ability to find compatible RP partners. Your description is encouraged to include ERP lights, which may range from very extensive to simply listing your disinterest in ERP in general. You, as a player, have the right to remove yourself from any sexual situation which makes you uncomfortable OOCly. The description is not to be used to blacklist specific players, and lights are generic and for kinks only, and are only to show your likes or dislikes, and should not be worded in a manner that bashes specific kinks. If a Description is found to be particularly offensive or otherwise inappropriate, you may be told to adjust it or have a DM adjust it for you.

	* CLONING - You may only have ONE active version of a character with a specific name across all your vault at any one time. Switching between several versions of the same character is against the rules. This includes both renaming characters and possessing/controlling other characters in your vault that represent one character's will. This also means characters cannot have the same names as each other, IE twins with the same surname not giving at least their first initial. Different characters of different builds may be used as long as they're appropriately labelled.
