THERULES
(abide by them, and we'll get along just fine)
FIRST THINGS FIRST
I, Sammy, on behalf of the entire staff team would like to welcome you to Legend of the Avatar, be you a guest just visiting or if you're a newly joined member. We are a mature, literate RPG based on the TV series Avatar: the Last Airbender from Nicklodeon. Even if you've never heard of Avatar, you are welcome just the same, and there is information available here on the site, as well as the Avatar Wiki, so please feel free to check it out.
On a personal aside, I'd like to say a great, big, huge THANK YOU to the staffers Bella and Sammi from EPOCH~Twilight who came over to help me with this project. LotA wouldn't be here today without the tremendous help and effort they have provided me (saving me, incidentally, from several huge headaches). Most of the graphics and the app here are products of their amazing creativity, as I am relatively HTML challenged. So, a big round of applause for the wonderful Bella and Sammi! Another person I'd like to thank is Jecei, also of EPOCH~Twilight, who pointed me in the direction of the Wiki, which is the source for most of the information here.
With this said, let's proceed to the rules.
To prove that you have read the rules, please put "Time is running out" in your app where it asks for the rules code.

TheBasics
-As previously stated, we a re a mature, literate RPG, therefore there will be content that might not be suited for younger members.
-Be nice, IC or OOC, that's all we ask for. No slamming or anything because of differences in opinion (which I know gets a little sensitive with the show sometimes)
-No fighting, we would like to provide a friendly environment to have fun and roleplay in.
-Just have fun!

ICGuidelines
-All posts must have a minimum of 200 words and two paragraphs! No exceptions, there's a word count located at the bottom of the posting box to clarify.
-Please use correct grammar/spelling. No "OMG, he ttly r0cked" or anything like that.
-Teasing is allowed, but nothing too derogatory or graphic
-If you plan on having a thread with mature content, please make sure you make a note in the title.
-No God-modding, a.k.a. no making your character invincible.
-No Power-playing.
Example:
This is power-playing, where the person playing Jack doesn't give the person playing Dean a chance to defend himself. Please avoid this.
-Your display name should be your character's name (you can register with whatever name you'd like, but please change it once your character's been accepted. For example, sk8trchik3 applies for Azula, then once she's been accepted, she'd change her name to Azula)
-Please, for God's sake NO MARY SUES! If you aren't sure what this is, please look it up on Wikipedia, I don't want to start a rant.
-ONLY ONE CHARACTER PER ACCOUNT
Character Limit: only 4-5 characters per person! Anymore created after five will be ignored and the accounts deleted.

Jack ran towards Dean and punched him in the face feeling the nose and cheekbones shatter under the impact of his fist

OOCGuidelines
-Be kind to each other, I don't tolerate derogatory remarks at all.
-On the Creativity Boards: this is for members to show off their creative powers. Some art/fanfiction/ivdeos will be better than others, some will suck, however, NO ONE is allowed to be cruel about it or flame. Constructive Criticism is fine, as long as the owner asks for it.
-On the Avatar Chat board, DON'T GET INTO FIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!! I put it there so people could talk about the show or the upcoming movie and express their opinions, don't criticize said opinions.
-NEVER EVER start shipping fights! I won't put up with it. Fellow Zutara fans: Yeah, we lost out to Kataang, this site will be Kataang as I'd like to stick to canon. GET OVER IT ALREADY. And don't fight me on it either, I love the pairing, but sadly, it wasn't to be. Keep it in fanart or fanfiction or videos.
