Petition for Exception Guidelines
To petition for a power exception - You may petition an Admin or Moderator to allow your character to have one of the Specialty-type powers. You must send an Admin/Mod a PM detailing your intended character's traits, and, if you are a new member, a sample of your roleplaying ability. PLEASE NOTE that new members, after the 'introductory period' of the board when all members are new, will have a much more difficult time petitioning for exceptions than older, more established members.
General
1. This is a literate roleplaying site. There are no post length limits enforced, but we do ask that you make a concerted effort to put thought and effort into meaningful posts and replies. One word or sentence replies on IC roleplays will sadly not be tolerated here, and neither will 'chatspeak'. Good grammar and spelling is encouraged, though not enforced by any means.
2. No Godmoding or Powerplaying. Godmoding refers to characters who resemble 'mary-sues' and have no flaws or cannot be beat. This is a super-hero themed RP site but even Superman had his Kryptonite! Powerplaying refers to the control of other member's characters without consent. This is NOT referring to the control of another player's character when consent to control that character has already been established prior to the incident.
IMPORTANT - In the case of Mind-control/possession - When engaging in an RP with a character who has either of these abilities, the member playing opposite this character gives automatic consent to have their character be able to be 'controlled' in the context of the super power.
3. All members must read and follow the rules laid out in the Superpower Master List and Classification thread. THERE CAN BE EXCEPTIONS, though these will be rare and at the Admin/Moderator's discretion. Directions/guidelines on what is expected of members who seek an exception to the Power rules can be found below in the 'Petition for Exceptions' section.
4. Be civil, damnit! Kindness makes the world go round!
5. This is an 18+ board. Violence comes with the territory of superhero RPs, as well as swearing and sexual activity. Mature-content-oriented posts are allowed (Explicit sexual content and/or explicit violence) under a strict 'Mark your content in the title' policy.
6. Any breaking of the above and below rules will result in a warning. This site operates on a three strikes system; for infractions, you will receive two warnings before receiving a three-day ban. Two more warnings, and then a week-long ban. Two more warnings and you will be permanently banned. The only exceptions to this system will be any instances of transphobia, homophobia, or treats of rape and/or violence. These will result in an immediate perma-ban.
7. The Password for the character creation template is Centennial.

IC Board Rules
1. This site is operating under a loosely-SkyHigh-based premise. Non-superpowered characters are allowed, but they cannot be admitted to SkyHigh, nor can they teach at SkyHigh. There is no exception to this rule. More information on the setting and background of this board can be found on the World of SkyHigh Unlimited thread.
2. In this universe, Superheroes are not a secret, and they are not necessarily in danger from the general public. Though the general population is aware of superheroes, students and children/teens in general are encouraged to refrain from using their powers outside of a school or home setting.
3. Teacher characters can only be created when there is an advertised opening for a specific teaching position.
