THE RULES
OUT OF CHARACTER
1;; Simple. Respect others. And this means everyone - the staff, your fellow members, even guests. If someone is saying hurtful things to you, ignore them. Saying hurtful things back will only get you in trouble as well. You don't have to be the friendliest person in the world - just don't be the meanest.
2;; Keep your fighting to a minimum. We know sometimes others can irritate you a bit, but don't go picking fights left and right. Be kind to others and they'll be kind to you {sometimes}. And if you must fight with someone else, keep it outside the site. We don't want the chat box being flooded with hurtful comments or the out of character boards and private messages. Use that energy to make darker posts, than harmful OOC messages.
3;; If you will be leaving, please leave a notice on the leaving board. We can understand if it's something that comes up on a short notice, but if it's something that will keep you from role playing that you know in advance, you must let us know. You might be thought to be inactive, other wise, and risk getting your account deleted.
4;; You do not have to log in daily, but we suggest you log in at least once a week to catch up on any updates. If you have not logged in in a month or two without posting in the leaving board, the staff will decide whether to consider you inactive, which will result in the deletion of your account, or another punishment that you will receive when you return. After 3 months of inactivity, there will be no question about deleting your account.
5;; There will be no in character posts in the out of character boards unless it is for a thread in the alternate universe boards or certain forum games. Other then that, keep everything out of character - that's why it's called what it is.
6;; Avatars may be no larger than one hundred pixels by one hundred pixels. Signatures may be no wider than five hundred seventy-five pixels, nor taller than 400 pixels. Any additional graphics in posts also may not be any wider than that for the sake of stretching the board.
7;; If you wish to open a graphics shop - or, at least, something of the sort - feel free to PM a staff member the information you'd like and we'll set it right up for you.
8;; Have fun! That's the whole point of the site! May you enjoy your time here at Sacrificial Disposition!
9;; Create evil nightmares for your characters! Mwhuahaha!

IN CHARACTER
1;; A simple rule to follow. You can not, by any means, control another person's character. They are theirs to role play, not yours, and therefore should be written as such. If you are worried that you might have broken this rule, leave an out of character note at the bottom and we, the staff, will decide whether it's okay or not.
2;; Like above, this is a somewhat easy rule to follow. You may not make your character invincible, no matter the circumstances. Every person gets hurt no matter how powerful they are. Your character may dodge blows, but keep said action to a bare minimal. We suggest a three to one ratio. For every three hits, you may have an attack miss. Remember, it is more fun to be beat up, than the other way.
3;; Though we won't be to terribly upset with you if you stray away from this, we'd prefer this roleplaying forum to remain in past tense third person. It simply makes things slightly more uniform. If you're just too used to first or second person or present or future tense and struggle making the adjustment, of course, we won't bother you about it. Really, this is more of a suggestion than a rule.
4;; Unless one is closing a thread, you should always makes sure that you're writing in a way that the other person can reply to. It is not at all very fun, when your characters are running off or walking away, right in the middle of a thread; we suggest you refrain from leaving threads as abruptly as that. If you've been given permission or there are more people in that thread that can reply, you may leave the thread.
5;; We do not have a specific word count here on Sacrificial Disposition. While we all shudder in disgust at the sheer thought of posts with merely one sentence, we also know that muses are tricky things and it's not always easy cranking out a certain number of words. We expect that you be responsible about this lack of a word count, however, and ask that you simply have one or two well structured paragraphs for every in character post at the very least. You are welcome - encouraged, even - to go as above and beyond that as you wish, however.
6;; Lastly, we ask, beg, pray that you all make good use of the wonder that is the spell check if you are prone to spelling errors or even if you just have the occasional slip. Truly, it is only there to help you. After all - typos can lead to confusion and confusion can lead to mistakes. While we won't get on you about not being absolutely perfect, we do ask that you utilize this helpful button to the best of your abilities.

THE CHARACTERS
GENERAL
1;; When creating a character, you must follow the rules no matter what. If not, your character will not be accepted and denied until the problems have been fixed and your application follows the rules.
2;; Mary Sues and Gary Stus are not tolerated. Every person in real life has their strengths and weaknesses. Why shouldn't your characters be the same? When making your character, think about if their personality would be that of a person in real life. If your not sure if your character is a Mary Sue or not, look up a test and see if they are. If they are, then try to edit them and make them more realistic. In order to do this, just add flaws, limits, and well things they fear. If all else fails, just ask a staff member for some ideas.
3;; We suggest that, during roleplay, you refrain from using more than one character in a post. Sometimes, this can grow rather confusing and throw the entire thread off. If you wish, you may switch characters by: changing accounts or having one leave and another join or - if you absolutely must for the sake of the thread - post as both in different colored text/tables/font.
4;; This is a one account per character forum. Please keep continuing to read if you hate that, do not just stop, there is a loop to that completely.Therefore, you must have one account for every character. In addition, you must have one other account, that will represent "your personal", this specific account will represent you, yourself as a member on the site. It is expected you to post in that account any comments, complaints, or suggestions. You may use that member account to post with all your characters, it is just if you get tired constantly changing accounts. Remember you are encouraged to use different accounts for each post, this is merely to make the site look more active and professional. Added to that, your character accounts must have their name in the account.
5;; There is no limit on the number of characters you may play. However, please contain yourself and don't create more than you can handle. Try to keep them all active if you can. If you can't, putting characters that you feel you can no longer play up for adoption in the adoption board or simply archiving them may be a good idea.
6;; You may start out with as many high-powered characters as you want, however, be reasonable - not every character is going to have strong powers and a backpack full of powerful inventions. A very few like that is fine, but keep the rookies coming as well.
7;; If you are playing a canon character, keep these things in mind. For starters, keep them as in character as possible. We don't discourage members from adding their own personal flare to an existing character, but taking a typically gentle character and turning them into a bloody thirsty murderer isn't going to fly with us in the slightest. If they do differ in noticeable from their original personality, please give us a solid and believable explanation in the history or others section of the application. Yes, becoming an Altered will count, as a reasonable explanation, but you must fill out the form first.
8;; For face claim here you are only allowed to use Deviant art [with permission from owner], anime, and cartoons. No real life people, or characters. You may draw your own characters, nobody is stopping you from letting your creativity fly, just don't fly all the way to Pluto.
9;; If someone refuses to accept your application, please just meet the edits they are asking. If you are still not being accepted, after meeting the edits they are asking, then pm Ginger or another experienced admin. By joining this site, you are promising to be acceptable to everyone's views and differences.
10;; You are required two staff points, in order for your bio to be completely accepted. If you get one staff point member, then you may go and post with that character, however it is not completely done processing until you get another staff point. Admin votes count as two, Mods count as one.

WISH MAKING
Dear Awesome Random User
Hello thank you for reading this deep into The Law of Laws thread. This is the thread that will tell you everything you need to know about wishmaking for humans and incubators. What you can wish for or cannot wish for. If there is any member breaking these basic wish rules, please report it immediately. Also, these are put in place to prevent over-powerful characters, Mary/Gary sues, ending the rp instantly, or/and not to cause drama. These laws can be changed at anytime by the Administrator. If there is unaccepted edits made at anytime, please report it. Again this is to prevent drama on the board itself, it is also to limit how powerful wishes can be made. If there is a wish you want, and is not listed here. You may have it free, though no one else is allowed to wish that if it is too strong and powerful and shouldn't have even been accepted.
Goody-luck, Administrator
DO'S
1;; Wish for a companion; everyone needs a friend. This companion could be really useful in battles. It could be a great comfort to your character and slow the process of becoming an "Altered". A companion however if are not at all ridicules, will be invisible or not at all allowed, depending how crazy the companion you want.
2;; Help another, you could easily make a wish that'll help another character, whether they be NPC or an actual character. This help could be a type of healing, a friend, or a better home. It could be really anything that does not strongly effect the roleplay and setting of the roleplay. If it does not have those huge dramatic effects, go on ahead. Usually one who helps another will usually get a pretty cool power relating to that help. If it is healing, depending what sort of healing could greatly help your character in battle.
3;; Create a new technology, like cyborgs, flying cars, or something. No, you may not make a wish for a portal that teleports everyone back to their original dimension. Also you cannot wish for any sort of cure for the condemned, Dark essences, rebels, or Altered. We want this to be dark not quick and easy. Now if you really really want to make that cure, there'll be terrible side-effects, and yes the staff member can decide what those are.
4;; A sort of super-power, granted this would be something someone would wish. However it does not work like that. They may wish that and will get it, but there will be serious side-effects and limitations. The stronger the power the higher the side-effect. They will keep the power even in Altered-form, but it'll still influence your character somehow. It could something major like taking away mana or minor like use every other certain amount of word or post count. The power you are seeking must be examined closely by the staff members, before accepted. If they fail to do their job right, the administrator has every right to step in and say no, at any time.
5;; A natural talent, like singing/dancing, or heck swordmanship. You can wish this for someone or your character. You could even use it to become famous quickly in the roleplay. Total cheat if you think about it. Also the talent will automatically be a lvl 10 and will not go any higher. This talent will also automatically be the best of ranking, unless there is another users that has their character make the same wish. Then the staff members will decide who is best, by user's popularity and rpg style. Please check talent list for any ideas on this wish category. You may make up your own talent, if there is none available.
6;; Money, yes money. You can wish for lots of money for your character. There will be a side-effect however. Every-time this wish is made, all money post counts will be dropped. Meaning, as of now it is 20 per post, after wish be 19 per post for everyone. Count it as a sort of site economy or after-effect tax. If 20 different characters wish for more money then well, the money will reset to 20 again. No, you are not allowed to have 20 characters wishing for money, yes it is a common wish, however should not be THAT common. Depending on the wish will change how much money you will receive on that character account. Remember you can buy things out of the In-character shop, with that character after that wish.
7;; Wish for Canons, alright it is possible but they will be limited here. If the staff members feel they are too powerful for our little Roleplay here. Those Canons will lost half their powers and abilities, possibly even all of them. The Staff members reserve the right to do this, no complaints. We want things fair as they can be. If you feel that you are being mistreated, pm the Administrator and wait calmly for response. If you throw an attitude, we will tell you no you may not have that canon wish at all. Also Canons may lose all memories, or enter new bodies, at any time. Generally, if the Canon is a real-life face-claim, they must have an anime character face-claim, and have to change their omega hot/ugly bodies. The Canons may be Rpied by you or another player, just they must make a bio and be accepted before the wish comes into play in 100% percent.
8;; Character Information, you may wish for this. However, it will only be little information, and it is up to the Staff Members what you can see. The stronger you Respect the Staff and Everyone, the better chance your power will be accepted. The most basic version of this, will be what a character likes or dislikes. However the most hard version of this will be History&Secrets, for history&Secrets defines everything of a character and will be the hardest information to get. Please read Do not's #4. For more information on this wish.
9;;
10;;
DO NOT's
1;; Any sort of Out-of-character relation wish. Know why? Your character does not know you exist, they could break the fourth wall, if you will it. If they do so, they cannot see your personally, maybe the other writer, but you; never. Again, they are not allowed to help you personally in anyway.
2;; Wishing to not ever turn into Condemned, and/or Altered. The incubator will not do it, ever. That is the whole point of the wish is for your character to transform and release energies to keep the world going and alive. Rebels, will also disagree, not because they don't want to, just they can't they lose the ability to provide that sort of wish. They're powers are much more limited than incubators, and well cannot grant that much strength of a wish. The only way that will pass is high-powered will-to-survive human, themselves. Which the staff members will not allowed, unless it is a shop item or a staff plot/event.
3;; Wishing that this part of the world back to its original home, no way. The character that made that wish, is now dead and who's energy cannot be used without killing everyone there. As such, there will be no wishes along those lines, the main reason will be the life around is too costly and survival is always most important. Also the Altered eats that energy, and prevents it from building up that high. Again wishing this part of the world back on earth, is a HUGE NO NO.
4;; Character information, granted you could wish for a magical eye that tells the character's main weaknesses, but however not everything. That information is guarded very securely, and is not going to be easy to access. The more power you use on that wish, the lower your mana will be. Also if you become an Altered after, you will naturally since the negatives of that character, but not the positives. The Condemned can however, sense the positives of that character rather than the negatives. Again, you may not wish for something that allows you to see EVERYTHING about a character, it will not be fair. This also counts as any character's secrets. Will not happen.
5;; Infinite or More wishes, your character gets one wish, one. The reason for this, is that your character is using life energy to get what they want, the Incubator & Rebel, will refuse to use more energy than what your character is worth. It will not AT ALL Happen. One wish,no matter what, choose wisely. 6;;

OLIVAE KINGDOM
The Culture & Religion
Most of the People of Olivae Kingdom worship Ho-ho, The God of Resurrection and Hope. Those that receive messages or is recognized by this Pokemon will find they can telepathically talk to their very first pokemon, they're also said to be of pure heart, whether that heart is evil or good will be up to the character themselves.
\The people of this land have rituals and usage of magic to allow them to share abilities with their fellow Pokemon. These rituals usually only work with the first pokemon their strongly bond to, but there have been rare occurrences the rules have been twisted.If something in the rituals go wrong it can cause casters and/or those receiving the blessing to transform into spirits, Pokemon, or worse.
It has been considered that females have stronger connections to pokemon, as such seem to show stronger Pokemon powers, whom are sometimes considered to be pure blood witches. Witches must hide their powers from any outsiders, else the kingdom will be attacked for harboring and protecting them. This may be true, however Males have also shown these strong connections, as such it only comes up when a female seems too influential. Pretty much it is used as an excuse to dismiss her from any sort of major Kingdom events. Luckily there is no prosecutions in this kingdom for strong Pokemon connections and witch-like abilities.
Politics
Since th kingdom see males kind of on top, it will take high leadership skills and respect for female of this kingdom to recieve a high ranking. For the most part the Kingdom is pretty basic cliche standard with King/Queen, Heir, Prince/Princess, Knights, Dutch/Dutchess, Priest, then citizens in ranking. If there are any clans or guilds in the kingdom their ranking may be based on popularity by the people and King. Sometimes those gifted will gain rank, but that is a secret.
Currently the kingdom is under demand for its Popular wine, the current/past King had made a law to receive food and resources from its next door Kingdom, Crystal Kingdom. A kingdom that is greatly influencing the Olivae Kingdom and may one day take over this kingdom lands. Gradually each day the Crystal Kingdom seems to sneaks Slavery and slave traders into the Olivae Kingdom's borders. Any citizen of the Crystal Kingdom can come to the Olivae kingdom without any sort of paperwork. Each year it seems that Olivae Kingdom is losing its money and economic resources, even its wine seems to worsen as droughts grow throughout the land. It is only a matter of time before Crystal Kingdom suck the Olivae Kingdom dry.
The Olivae Kingdom is connect to the Diamond Kingdom in selling its prisoners and captives to this kingdom to work for a certain amount of time. Any prisoners or captives sold to the Diamond Kingdom will not be bought back and must work their way back to the Olivae Kingdom, this rule will probably be bent if it is a Royal accidentally sold there. There has been 2 past conflicts, mostly over territory of the colder desert regions of the Olivae Kingdom near by the Diamond Kingdom, otherwise no current disputes. This can be changed at any time when the Roleplay is on the move.
The island several days away from the Olivae Kingdom is considered to be covered with cursing evil Sirens that sing sailors to sleep, the people of the Olivae Kingdom stay clear of that whole Island for fear of being trapped by the Sirens spell. It is unknown to the Olivaens that it is a kingdeom on its own and is actually a perfect paradise for females and freedom seekers.
Terrain
The Olivae kingdom has the most largest land of all the current Kingdoms, it is however the most infertile. Most of the expanded land is too dry of a wasteland to grow different types of crops. Most of this country's income derives from their wine made of the sweetest and best Olives in all four kingdoms. There will be some sailors and ocean exchange, but not near enough to help the falling economy of the Olivae Kingdom.
Guilds/Clans
There is currently any Known

Crystal Kingdom
Culture & Religions[/b]
Many of the cultures and Religions have been lost and accepted as myths or just little superstitious actions. Magic and Ritual usage is not at all accepted or believed here. If one is caught doing any sort of Ritual or magic they will instantly be prosecuted and possibly tortured to death. Females are strictly most believed to betray the kingdom and must die. If a story is told it must be told as that, a story, nothing more, nothing really true.
There are some God and Goddess pokemon lurking here, however they are no longer recognized as deities, but rather Rare pokemon meant to be caught. If one of these rare deity pokemon are caught the citizen who caught it will be given a great feast and honor, possibly even a chance to work along side of the King.
The most recognized Legendary rare pokemon is Mew that lurks around the Crystal Kingdom's Castle seemingly to only visit certain people within the kingdom in different forms. Very rarely has this pokemon shown its true form. Mew is believed to live in the tree of Beginning that is located near by the castle within the crystal Kingdom, if the tree ever died so will Mew. The crystals made around and within the tree are cultivated to be used to catch the fellow pokemon all around. This is where the modern day Ideals of Pokemon had originated.
Since their culture require Males to be on top no matter what, a Queen must marry a male within a month, while a King is not required to re-marry. Princesses are considered to dangerous to choose their own loves and as such always end up in an arrange marriage that will help the goodwill of the kingdom. Females are not allowed to have multiple husbands, however husbands may have multiple female loves inside and out of the marriage. Females are forced into arrange marriages and doing everyday normal house chores. Males on the other hand are forced to hunt, kill, train, and take schooling.
Slavery is an everyday thing here, in a way Pokemon are more respected than the slaves that the Kingdom had Bred or caught. Trades are usually treated worst than dogs with the out-most torments and/or entertainments. Slaves must follow their masters orders, no matter what, else they will be prosecuted and used as examples to other slaves. Slaves have been known to come from all over this Rp world and may carry their own religion, beliefs, powers, and stories.
Politics[/b]
This kingdom follows the usual cliche hierarchy, with a King making most of the decisions within the kingdom. Below the king is his chosen Heir (if male), then and Princes, then the Knights. Below the knights is the Queen, the heir (if female), then the Princesses and advisers. From there is drops to citizens, Dukes, Guilds, and/or clans. The powers between those final 4 will vary based on how much the King admires or uses them.
This kingdom attacks anybody who even has a tiny bit magical ability, so it will be wise to hide it. The politics of this kingdom is pretty calm for the most part, they are making lots of income and have plenty of resources. The kingdom feels it is at peace with everyone, any disagreements are usually in murmurs. The fate of the kingdom will greatly depends on who the king is and how the Plots/Events will come out.

HOME
There are these things called incubators, that grant the wishes of boys and girls, turning them into witch-hunters. What the boys and girls do not know, is that they are destined to become the very thing they hunt.
A girl made a daring wish, to make all the witches disappeared, the only problem, her life energy was not strong enough. Only 100 Miles of the large world got teleported into a parallel pocket; now trapped the citizens of Alma City must find their way back to their original world.
10 years have passed without any luck, and the incubators have grown to have different views, some started to rebel. The humans are starting to learn, learn of the "truth" of the creatures around them, using them, for life energy.
There is going to be a war, but who? What will you do? What side would you pick? Or would you save all and find a way to bring everyone home?
The site skin colors were designed by Ginger, codes used were taken by several code resources such as: Socal, Proboards Support , Gagnam Style, Slightly Insane, Wormocodes, and Studio Zero.
Images used were all found on Google search or screenshot directly from anime.
The idea was originally an Anime series directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, called "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", later rewritten to allow more character creativity & Members by Ginger.
