IMMORTAL RULES

[font=flat brush] The Rules of the Immortals
"Tradition, it's all we have."
These are the rules that the immortals follow. The ones that
are bound by honor have no problem in the following of the
sacred rules. There are some, though, who occasionally break
the rules. Though we do not know the consequences of these
actions, it is expected that breaking the rules would cause a
great disturbance in the Game.
----------------------------------------------------------------
-------
1. Activation: One can only become an immortal by suffering a
violent death. Though this is a terrible thing to imagine, it
is a sad fact. If a pre-immortal eventually dies of old age,
without being made an immortal, they will die, and never realize
that they were immortal. Once an immortal dies, that is the age
that they remain for the rest of their life.
2. Combat: Inexperience kills, find a mentor. One on One
combat only! Tag teaming is against this rule. Battling one
immortal with a group, is also against the rules. An immortal
must not kill another immortal, if both parties do not agree to
the challenge.
3. Weaponry: Traditionally, the only thing used in combat are
swords. This is considered an honorable weapon among the
immortals. There are exceptions though, if an immortal feels
that he or she is incapeable of using such a weapon, they can
resort to something easier for them to handle. NO GUNS!!
4. Interference: Once the battle has begun, no one is allowed
to interfere.
5. The Goal: There can be only one. A majority of immortals
fight for the Prize, an unknown gift given to the last remaining
immortal. The thought of being the last one, and not receiving
the Prize, because of their distruction of the rules, keeps most
immortals in line, and makes them uphold these rules.
6. Endgame: Once you loose your head, it's over. This is the
only way to kill an immortal. All other ways, are the
equivilant to a mortal being comatose or knocked unconscious.
There can be only one. Immortals fight unitl only one remains.
This may or may not happen during a mentor/student trainning
battle.
7. Limitations: Never fight on Holy Ground. Though it has been
proven that if an immortal is to fight on Holy
Ground, nothing will happen.......immediatly. There is no
indication that this immortal will not pay dearly later on in
their life or in the Game.
8. Confidentiality: Never let mortals know your secret.
Certain immortals do settle down to lead "normal
lives"
with a mortal, but there are the mortals in the world that
cannot be trusted. Aside from the watchers, that
already know about the immortals, most of the mortal world is
seen as a threat to the immortal race.
