The Evangelion RPG: Rules and Regulations
(Written by Avatar and revised by Tenshi)

I know no one likes rules, but there are some that MUST be followed. 
This is to insure that everyone has fun and that there are no 
inconsistencies.

1) No canon characters. There's no Shinji, Asuka, or any other 
originals running around. This is so that we don't run into a lot of 
troubles with inconsistencies in the character (Shinji, no matter how
much the guy deserved it, would not punch his lights out) and so that
everyone has a shot at being the pilot of Unit 02.

Note: We might, MIGHT, make an exception for bridge staff... any that
DO get included would be classified as NPCs. (That way, at least
everybody gets to use them.)

2) Supernatural events. Nothing spectacular. Angels are running 
around, sure, but do we *really* need to throw vampires, werewolves 
and poltergeists into the mix?

3) Rival organizations. Only with my approval. These are more or less
plot devices and can get old, very fast.

4) No killing other's PCs. Dirty pool. If you want your character to 
die, email me with a VERY good reason why. If you are leaving the 
club, wouldn't it be much better to put your character up for
adoption so that someone else can have fun?

5) No Ranma/Tamahome martial arts, or Rally Vincent gunplay, or 
Washuu scientists. No one is beautiful, a great cook, a defender of 
justice, parent of three, strong and the president of the community's 
glee club, though two out of the load isn't too bad. We don't want to
read about super-people. They are not a lot of fun to read about, and
really off theme to boot.

6) No, you can't write in an Angel whenever you bloody want! We have 
a schedule for that. This is so that all characters can write a story a
bout the same attack, whether are directly involved or not. Even if 
*you* know about the attack three months in advance, your characters 
are going to be more or less surprised. (Of course, this is not to say
that we don't want your cool Angel suggestions... just don't be 
disappointed if it doesn't show up for a while.)

7) Do NOT break an Eva beyond repair. Kill off your pilot, sure, we'll
just sub in somebody else... We don't exactly have the resources to 
make new Evas in the game. We may consider building a few more later 
on if there is a need, but we can't go around rebuilding Unit 00 all 
the time.

8) No bringing in cross-over characters. Even if it is likely that 
Ryoga Hibiki will show up as he wanders back to Furinkan High, he's 
not going to. Plain and simple. (If you can't resist, write a fic! I 
did. ;p)
