• No blood or marital relations to any canons, customs, or past and current NPCs. In essence, you cannot be an ancestor, descendant, father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, cousin, husband, or wife (or any of those in combination with half-, step-, grand-, great-, ex-, twin, or “long lost”), to any canon character in the DB/Z/GT universe, any customs including the two preceding the turnover, or any already-created NPC in the Chubbs universe. This includes clones and replicates (mechanical or otherwise), or alternate time/universe versions.

• No history involving another character or past and current NPC. Nobody knows anybody when they start out. So you can’t be good friends with Vegeta or swear vengeance on Goku for something he did to you.

• No Akira Toriyama history, or pretty much no DB/Z/GT history. We have our own history. Planet Vegeta was never blown up or ruled over by Frieza. There was no Ginyu Force. There was no alternate time line where the Earth was terrorized by androids.

• No history conflicting with Chubbs history. Basically, you can’t make yourself king of Planet Vegeta or saying your character did something that somebody else did or things like that.

• No duplicate characters or references from outside the DB/Z/GT universe. You cannot have a character made similar or identical to somebody from a video game, anime, comic book, or the like. So no Ex-SOLDIER Clouds or Zanpakuto-toting Ichigos.

• If you want to change the person in your graphics, there must be a strong similarity to the preceding image. For instance, you can’t start off looking like Cloud and then jump to looking like Sephiroth. Something more along the lines of jumping from Cloud to Tidus would be more acceptable. We know that simple things like a haircut or a dye job or what have you can explain changes, but you must stay in the general area of the character description you started out with. Keep any deviations simple and reasonable.

• No canon look-a-likes. For example, you can’t have a picture of Vegeta, change his hair color to red, and say it’s a different person. You cannot use an image of a canon character for a custom, no matter what rationale you may use. The reason for this is that those characters are still active (whether as NPCs or not) in the Chubbs universe, and as such their likeness belongs to them. The only exception to this are the nameks, who can use any picture of any namek, so long as they aren’t using the exact same pictures or poses.

• No duplicate images. If somebody is already using a picture of Terry Bogard from SNK, you can’t use any Terry Bogard pictures. In instance of our original custom character, no one else is allowed to use pictures of Sasuke or Itachi from Naruto. This includes modified pictures, ala the change of hair color example used above. It’s basically first-come, first-serve. This is to prevent confusion of characters. As previously, nameks may use pictures of any nameks, so long as they aren’t using the exact same pictures or poses.

• Nameks must be asexual male. We once had a Nail who used the dragon balls to wish for a penis, but that’s about it.

• Full-blooded saiyans must have black hair and black eyes. Their Super Saiyan transformation must have blond hair and turquoise eyes. Anything else, and you have to classify them as “half-saiyan.”

• READ THE SITE! This cannot be stressed enough. You’re wasting our time and yours if you don’t. If you demonstrate that you have not read the site, your application will be denied until you do. If you continue to demonstrate that you have not read the site when directed to do so, this isn’t the place for you and you should look elsewhere.

• NO PROXYS. Because of problems we’ve had in the past, and problems we still have today, we no longer allow people to join under a proxy address. If you’re found using one, we will have no choice but to instantly and permanently ban your account. If you have nothing to hide, you should have no fear of using your real IP. The only exception to using a proxy address is if you are already a well-established member and have cleared permission with staff beforehand.

• ONE ACCOUNT PER COMPUTER. That means no two members should have the same IP address, because you’re not allowed to have multiple accounts. If you’re caught, any and all accounts with matching IP addresses will be banned. If you are, in fact, two different people sharing one or multiple computers, we require proof due to previous and potential abuse. Before you attempt to join, please send a staff member a picture of both people, each one holding signs pointing to who is whom. If you don’t have a digital camera or a scanner and you can’t borrow one, sorry, but you’re out of luck. It also would be a good idea to tell staff before you join if you’re using a public computer, such as one at a school or library.

• CUSTOM CHARACTERS ONLY. We no longer allow newcomers to join as canon characters, or people of the DBZ Universe. Only those who had canons prior to this change are permitted to have them. You must join as an original custom.

• BE COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL. Staff reserves the right to deny your application at any point and time on the grounds of you being an ass. We shouldn’t even have to emphasize this, but we REQUIRE all new applicants to treat us with the respect that we treat you. YOU are asking US to be able to role-play here, and if you can’t act like a decent human being, you’ll have to look elsewhere. We do not appreciate nor do we need the attitude. We don’t like IP banning people, but we will do it if pushed.
