We know rules suck, but please be aware of them and please follow them.
They help keep our site fun, organized, and safe.
Thanks!

1. Respect each and every member of this board. If you disagree with them or do not like them for any particular reason, then please refrain yourself from exhibiting this negative, "feeling". In addition, listen to admins and mods, if you have any problems, Tell Me.
2. No excessive use of vulgar language.
3. No persistent references to sexual preferences.
4. You are all entitled to your own suggestions and comments, however please be nice about them.
5. If you are using anything that is copyrighted, be sure to add a disclaimer.
6. No Spamming, no one wants to read it, and no one really cares.
7. No posting of illegal links, images, or grammar. This would include vulgar and false information, pornography, etc.
8. If you're going to PM me, or a staff member, and it's urgent or important. In addition, don't ask us about approving your bios. We promise to get to them as soon as possible.
9. All Federal laws, etc apply here. So no racism, threats, etc. Proboards TOS apply as well.
10. Do not be rude or demanding when it comes to someone posting, requesting for a piece of work, or simply asking for something. Learn patience and you can have the world.
11. No chain letters. The internet is not magical, or mystical in any way, just because you do not make 20 people read a message, will not result in your death. No one cares, and no one likes it.
12. There is not to be any sort of harassment in the C-box.
13. Please keep things simple, at Clash of the Finest we appreciate the freedom of expression but conversations on touchy subjects such as religion and politics should be kept to a minimum (or avoided all together).

1. Characters must be submitted in the "Bio Format" .
2. Your application must be filled out within five days If it is not, you will receive a PM and/or e-mail from us. If you reply back within three days with a logical explanation, you will be given another three to five days. If not, your application will be archived.
3. If you would like an OC please make sure they are original! If they are going to be another version of a canon character staff will ask if you would prefer to adapt the canon instead, otherwise the powers will be limited to less then the canon. Humans are more then welcome, as civilians, heroes or villains. Not all have to be meta human or alien, or super powered.
4. In order to complete the registration process, you must receive at least one character approval from a staff member of this board. It is only until your character has been moved to the “Character Database” is she/he approved, and when you can begin to roleplay.
5. A user can only create an original character after he/she registers as two canon characters (One a hero, and one a villain). You may not pick characters that rival with one another, i.e., Batman and the Joker, Superman and Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman and Cheetah. Additionally, you cannot pick characters that are on the same team. After you have played as the two canon characters, and the staff feels that you have done an excellent job, then you are allowed to create an original character. *Please don't complain about this, as some sites do not allow Custom characters at all*
6. There are certain canon characters that cannot be applied for; these include mega-powerful characters, such as The Spectre, Monitors, Amazo, Dr. Fate, and the latest incarnations of Doomsday. Furthermore, there are certain characters that may have been killed that cannot be chosen either. Finally there are characters that may not be on the board for general plot reasons. If you have a question about a specific character, it is best to ask an admin before registering.
7. If you are applying for your second character a Sample RP post is optional but not necessary. However, if we feel that you are not portraying your character appropriately we reserve the right to revoke player's rights.

1. This is a Realistic RPG. I don't want to see you dodging attacks constantly or still being able to attack after you have obviously been beaten.
2. No one is allowed to kill other people's characters. Unless that person gives you their consent, then go for it. In addition please refrain yourselves from killing canon characters, unless the user states otherwise.
3. Refrain yourself from making Super Strong Characters. That's automatic rejection to your bios. refers to Non Canon Characters
4. No Character Control, it's their decision as to whether or not an attack will hit, they are thrown, or something bad happens to them.
5. No "Ruining the Moment" for couples. No one likes that, and they won't like you. Unless you ask first!
6. As per the Proboards Terms of Service, sex, graphic violence, swearing, etc, is not permitted on this board.

- There may be an exception to this rule, if the user presents valid data and reasoning for the usage of such powers that are listed above. Valid statements would include, limitation of powers, drawbacks in usage of power, etc.
- This list only pertains to characters that are created by a user, not to characters from the DC universe.
1. Copying any appearance/ voice/ whatever from another character.
2. Copying powers.
3. Copying thoughts/ habits/ knowledge/ memories. this is in a way like character control, and only the person whose character it is could do it right
4. Complete magical abilities, like a magician. this gets god-moddy.
5. Superspeed. above-average speed is okay.
6. Immortality (age and looks is ok, so long as they can be killed or defeated one or the other... you know what both is perfect ha ha)

► A F T E R W O R D
Before RPing, you must read these rules. If you do not, then it will be assumed that you just aren't following them. This will result in negative consequences for you.
If you disagree with a rule, you're welcome to talk to me about it and I may amend the rule. Please check them every now and then. Not knowing a rule is not an excuse for breaking it.
Many Thanks,
Clash of the Finest Staff
