Rules:

• Minimum 100 Words PER Post
  This is a semi-literate/literate role play, so Juxtaposed Rhapsody's staff expects you to write at least fairly decent posts each time. Penalty of not listening after 3 warnings will result in a frozen account for whatever period of time.
  
  
• Decorative Posts
  Decorative Posts are not required (though encouraged), but it is always nice to see fancy texts or colors, but please make sure the text font and color is easily legible. Decorative codes do NOT count towards your post count!
  
  
• No Power Playing or God Modeling
  No one wants their character controlled by someone else for their benefit. It is unrealistic and obnoxious behavior, and will not be tolerated on JR. Same for god modeling; your character cannot be perfect or invincible. Flaws are a part of life, and this role play should be at least a little realistic behavior wise.
  
  
• This Site is Maximum of PG-13
  PG-13 is the highest this site's content will be tolerated without punishment. That means graphic breeding is not allowed. Swearing and violent fighting, however, IS allowed, but only to a certain extend. Watch your characters' potty-mouths, and keep in mind that some of us have weak stomachs.
  Kitsune has violated the pottymouth rule and the response was not pretty.
  
  
• You May Create As Many Characters You Like
  However, you must keep them all active. If you feel that you have too many, put them up for adoption, or if you wish for them to go down in style, sacrifice them. Inactive characters will be taken away or simply taken off of the site, depending importance on JR.
  
  
• Follow Proboards ToS
  If this is not done, may result in a frozen account for a long time. Proboards' rules are law.
  
  
• No Character May Start with Anything Special
  No character may start off with special items/skills/colors/abilities. They will be only normal cats. However when you get enough mousetails, you may buy the desired item in the Shop.
  
  
• Your Character Is Not All-Knowing
  Stick to only what your character hears, sees, or already knows. For example, they can not know two warriors are having a secret affair in IvoryClan if they are in EbonyClan, swimming in the river. Also, this includes the back story. All warriors were told the false backstory. Therefore, your character should believe it. There can be room for doubt, but they cannot know the full truth. Only Clan Leaders and Medicine Cats would have access to this truth if they ask StarClan with a valid reasoning as to why they have doubt.

Background Story:

Ebony and Ivory were two siblings, sister and brother, who were renowned for their bravery and strong ideals, becoming even more famed once they had driven a pack of rogues out of the area. They drew loners to themselves and formed the Clan, saying that their ancestors - “StarClan” - would direct them with the wisdom of the heavens. Both changed their names: Ebony became Ebonystar, where Ivory became Ivorystar.
Both Ivory and EbonyClan make it clear that the two were brave and honest and powerful- but then the stories diverge.
EbonyClan claims that Ivorystar’s son had gone mad and devoured Ebonystar’s kits when the leader was hunting. IvoryClan says that, out of jealousy, Ebonystar slew Ivorystar’s beautiful mate. Whatever the cause, the two leaders split, taking their most loyal warriors with them and forming a blood feud that endures to this day.

At least, that’s the story that is passed from elders to little ones. The actual events are much different from the tale of legendary strength and martyred kits and mates.

Russetstar of ShadowClan had been assassinated.
After his body was found torn apart, the Clans were aflame with accusations; RiverClan, ThunderClan, WindClan, rogues, no one was able to escape an accusing claw. The Clans, which had been drawing ever closer and drawing strength from one other, were snapped apart once more.
Finally, though, they managed to uncover the truth behind the killing: an assassination plot that stemmed from all Clans, with nearly two dozen supporters. The deputy that had just taken his place - Ebonystar - and her mate, Ivoryclaw, were at the head of the coup. Ebonystar, Ivoryclaw, and all who supported them were exiled.
Mortals weren’t the only ones to be exiled: Russetstar had not been well-liked, even amongst his ancestors, and Ebonystar had only followed the guidance of StarClan. Those who supported the rebels follows the exiles to a new land.
Once there, however, the newly-formed Clan began to unravel. There wasn’t enough food in the forest to support every cat, not to mention the fact that Clan boundaries were still upheld. Finally, Ivoryclaw broke away with his closest followers and StarClan had no choice but to ordain him as well.
Still, the two Clans kept one string of connection: to hide the shame of their exile, they would tell their descendents a rather different version of their story. Soon the knowledge of the Four Clans was lost.

Shop Guide:

Kitsune here! Alright, so, using the shop is easy. Once you've decided what item you want to buy, you just make a new thread in the shop board, copy+paste the description of the item you want to buy (include the price), and make sure to mention what character you want this item to go to.
Review!
1. Make a thread.
2. Include the description of the item.
3. Mention which character this is going to.

If you try to send an item to another member's character, they must approve the transfer first.
If you want to transfer mousetails to someone else, create a thread and say how many mousetails you want transferred from your account to their account. Transfers will be processed as quickly as possible.

On Mousetails--
Mousetails are the currency here on JR. You get five every time you make an IC post, but you also get five every time you advertise on another site (using Kitsune's totally legit get-rich-quick scheme), and you get twenty every time you either
A) Create a character
B) A character you created is adopted.
Have fun and get rich quick~!

Battle Guide:

Fighting is a common part of a Warrior's life. That is why we must have some guidelines when the Warriors on JR fight! When you make a new post, you should see an icon of a die (singular of dice). If you click it, it should say: [ dice = 6 ] without spaces. You must keep it as this.


When you use this die, you are attacking.
If the number you rolled is even, your attack hit.
If the number you rolled is odd, your attack missed.

If the counter-attack of your enemy also hits, the higher roll wins.
