Rules and Considerations
Be Respectful
It takes two to tango! Respect your fellow players and please respect your mods! Along these lines, respect the IC/OOC division. Respect the general etiquette of RP—to state this more explicitly: Don't Godmode, Don't Infomod and Don't Run Over Other People.
Be Considerate
No graphic sex in the main ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
aather community! The same goes for graphic violence or any other R•NC-17 scenes! You can handwave these scenes, or fade to black or take it to your journal! Use your discretion, we're all adults here.
That being said if there are any threads or posts inaather that make you feel uncomfortable please let a mod know.

aather that make you feel uncomfortable please let a mod know.Plan Ahead
Please consider the character you're apping! Will they be appropriate for a game where shit may go down? Are they appropriate for a game where they will be depowered?
Keep in mind that this is for fun! Sure, maybe you want Mr. Flatten Everyone Because I am a Godmode to stomp around like a badass dinosaur. But putting Mr. Flatten in a tutu might also be fun. On the other hand, this is not a game without heavier themes. There will be serious things as well! Keep in mind this game has both sides and please allow for both sides to occur.

Be Aware of Game Constraints
Characters do not start with the skills they had in canon. This may make it more difficult for some characters, please consider this when you think about who to app.
There is a powercap in the world of Aather! This applies to every character at all times unless otherwise specified!

Stay in Character
Just because this is an amnesia game doesn't mean that you can ignore characterization! Please keep in mind who you're playing and why you chose to play them the way you did.
If you have serious issue with another player's characterization or other 'in play' issue please notify a mod. There will be dialog and possibly a strike issued if the characterization is truly grossly out of character.

Stay Active
Our activity policy is outlined here. Being able to regularly play in games and with your teammates makes for a better experience for everybody!
Apping and Dropping
Currently at Aather you can app as many characters as you want. We may hold an app/discuss with you if you have current characters that aren't being played, however.
You may pick up a character you previously dropped (if someone else has not apped them) by filling out the handy form found here and emailing it to the mods. You can find the dropped characters listing at the top of the taken characters page. You can also check the ctrl+f list on that same page and it will list every "taken" character.
However if a character has acquired more than 8 memories in Aather then that character can only be reapped by the player who previously played them. This will be marked on the dropped characters page. So, for example, if Fred played Harry Potter and acquired 8 memories with Harry and decided to drop Harry for a while no one else could app Harry Potter. Eventually we may add a concession to time, but for now it is based off of number of memories acquired.
Once a character has "completed" their registry they can never be reapped by anyone. For more information read this post on completing your registry.

Aather Issues are Aather Issues
Going off to an anon meme or anon comm isn't going to solve any problems you have. If you have issues with another player, please either seek to reconcile the issue with each other or notify a mod and we would be happy to work with you.
If you have any gameplay or game mechanic issues, please let the mods know so we can try to improve!

Strikes and Bans
We hope to never use this! But there is a strike, strike, ban system in place at Aather. If there is a serious issue or rule breaking going on a player can receive a strike. If a player receives three strikes z/s/he will be banned from the game for at least three months, at which point dialogue may be reopened.
