“[i]All of these scientists and philosophers, attempting to find some rules which govern the Arcanum. What they do not realize is our universe only has one ultimate rule…

There are no rules.[/i]”
-The Phoenix-Emperor, Gabriel Angelos 

Welcome to Rise of the Stars, a advanced Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP set in Space, which is entirely freeform. Due to the fantasy tag, magic is completely acceptable explanation for everything, or any other supernatural force or powers you would like to use. For those who are interested in purely using technology, don’t worry, I am going  with the rule that magic and technology are equal for the most part. Also on that note, while I shall be allowing magic boosting technology, anyone going purely technology will be allowed highly more advanced technology so they can still compete.

Another idea I like to express in this RP is that we are all well-established nations, either being Grand Empires or vast Federations. At most minimum nations will at least have some form of informal relations with each other. If for whatever reason you need to have your nation be relatively unknown, contact me upon the start of the actual OOC and I will judge from there.

Rules:
1.Typical RP rules, no god-modding, power-playing, or meta-gaming etc.
2.Follow all guild rules of course.
3.Please keep arguments out of the OOC. If there is a dispute between two or more players add me and everyone involved to a PM and I will work out a final decision from there. 
4.I am not infallible, if you have a problem with my decision please PM me about it.
5.Constructive criticism is okay, outright insulting a player isn't. 

In addition, here is a few app guidelines. 
 

App Guidelines:
1.While I don't mind you making a obvious rip-off of some pre-existing species or nation from a work of fiction, at least write the app yourself and do not copy from wikias or similar. Don't copy parts of other peoples app either, you be surprised, I had that happen before.
2.While I am not going to enforce it, a general overview of your military is acceptable, you do not need to detail every unit and weapon.
3.20-35 systems is the limit at the moment.
4.No factions where there primary purpose is to eat/destroy everything. I already picked out someone who I can trust for that role.
5.Apps are to be posted in the OOC first, when its accepted I will ask you to move it to the dump.

Short, but these can usually blow up to be very big.
