!RULES!

1. When you enter this room you are out of character until you put your character somewhere in the Academy grounds by using the pulldowns. Please limit out of character posts to 1 or 2. They are necessary to greet newcomers, then all out of character posts should be taken into private messages. All seasoned students are expected to greet newcomers OOC (Out of Character) to determine if they need help before engaging the visitor in a roleplay scene or assuming they have malicious intent.

2. This room is for learning. NO KILL/NO CAPTURE/NO BLOOD BONDING (with the exception of Tremere characters who are blood bonded to the Council as their weakness). Note: You are NEVER obligated to go along with any roleplay that you do not feel comfortable with or that you feel is not in compliance with any of these rules or the rules of this section and this site.

3. This room is for characters created on the basis of White Wolf, Vampire: the Masquerade roleplaying books. Our resources include the main V:tM book, the following Clan books: Assamite, Brujah, Followers of Set(Setites), Gangrel, Giovanni, Lasombra, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Ravnos, Toreador, Tremere(including the Blood Magic books), Tzimisce and Ventrue, and the Book of Nod. Characters that are not from any of these sources (ie., Werewolves, Mages, freeform, or any other types of characters not in Vampire: the Masquerade) will not be acknowledged for interaction or learning in this room. There are plenty of rooms out there that welcome any forms of roleplay, please use those rooms for your day to day roleplay interaction. If you do not agree with this rule......don't enter!

4. No sexual scening(cybering), no submissives or slaves, no avs more than 350 pixels, no nude avs, no real time issues or posting of private personal information will be tolerated.

5. Please do not come in causing trouble and disrupt our roleplaying. It is childish and no one enjoys this.

6. A character sheet will be required for all players in this room. If you are new and do not have one or do not know how to make one, we will help you make one. That is what we are here for and we are pleased to help everyone build a great character and a sheet to go along with it.

7. When envoking your Disciplines you are expected to include the following: the name of the Discipline, the name of the level and the number of the level in parentheses, describe the power what it does, how it works and the outcome or the affects it has on any or all people present. Just naming your Discipline is not acceptable. AND, you are expected to follow this same rule when you are in other rooms as well. Here is an example of the proper way to write the action of a Discipline: "invokes Dominate/Command(lvl1), locking eyes with (subject), influencing your thoughts and actions by speaking a one word command which you must obey instantly and is audible to everyone else present, but only affects (subject) because of direct eye contact: "STOP!"

8. Only Professors approved by Anjeanique are allowed to teach within the Academy walls. So, if you wish to teach, you must prove to Anjeanique you are qualified. If you wish to teach, contact me via email:Anjeanique_@hotmail.com, ICQ: #43642504 or MSN: Anjeanique_.

9. You WILL uphold the Masquerade in all Elysium areas. This means absolutely NO FEEDING while in Elysium! If you wish to bring a friend in to learn and they are mortals, you must make an OOC (Out of Character) announcement on the Kindred Academy Writing Wall to inform everyone else of their presence and they will be housed within the dormitory in Elysium (until which time they are embraced) to prevent a potential progeny's certain death.

10. FINAL RULE! ANJEANIQUE HAS THE FINAL SAY IN ALL MATTERS! PERIOD!
