CONTENT
The Black Jewels Trilogy is often dark. Rape, slavery, and murder are common topics in the books, and will likely be topical in game as well. We are not here to police content and largely will not do so. If you're not comfortable with extremely dark content played around you, you should not be here. That said, the game will not be a perpetual trauma conga. Regardless, we ask that all characters be at least 16 years old or, in the case of inhuman characters, have the maturity of a young adult.

BEHAVIOR
Bullying and harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. Keep in mind the IC/OOC divide and remember to respect it. Because of the sensitive topics that may come up in this game, the mod team expects you to treat each other well.

Do not godmode. Do not infomod. You play your character and only your character. You may find that you as a player know information that your character does not. Do not act on that knowledge, no matter how tempting.

Remember that IC actions have IC consequences, and remember that is especially true when dealing with a race of people like the Blood.

ACTIVITY CHECKS
AC will start on the 1st of every month and run through the 7th. AC results will be posted on the 8th. You must provide any combination of two of the following for each character you play:

► A network thread (or threads) consisting of 10+ comments from your character OR
► A log of 5+ comments from your character

Players on hiatus are exempt from AC provided they have given the mods prior notice on the hiatus and drops page. Failure to meet AC will result in removal from the game.

The mods will be frank: individuals who regularly exceed AC are more likely to receive plot-critical information.

CHARACTERS
You may play canon characters and regular OCs. We ask that you not app CRAUs, AUs, and characters native to the BJT canon.

When selecting your character's Birthright Jewel, you may do one of two things:

► Choose your own Jewel up to Opal for your character's Birthright.
► Try your luck. On the reserves page, you can request a Jewel by RNG. The mods will roll 3 random numbers from 1-10, representing the Jewels from White to Red. You may ask the mods to reroll any one of these numbers if you are unsatisfied with your options, but once you've rerolled you must select from the three options provided. This will become your character's Birthright Jewel.

Due to the overwhelming power of the Ebon-gray and Black Jewels, these two ranks will not be allowed in game.

THREE STRIKES
The mod team understands that sometimes mistakes happen. However, should we see a pattern of inappropriate behavior, we will ask you to leave the game. The mod team reserves the right to circumvent this rule at their discretion.

POSTING

► agentlenet is the game network and should be used for psychic communications between the Blood and any text, video, or image sharing by means of Far-caster.
► agentlelog is the game log community and should be used for all long-form prose or action spam, open or closed. All logs with sensitive content should be locked and appropriate warnings should be added to the post. Failure to do so will result in a warning from the mod team.
► agentleooc is for all memes and OOC communications.

TAGGING
Tag all your posts with your character's tag.
