Given that Squarewarts is an AU RP that takes place in a school, we decided to try and set up guidelines for what is okay and what isn't concerning violence, destruction, injuries and special abilities/items at Hogwarts. Basically, it has to do with all most of the stuff that has the potential to get characters in a lot of trouble.
Each section has guidelines for what requires permission and what does not. If you have any questions, please feel free to email the mods at squarewarts@gmail.com.
Violence, Damage & Injuries at Hogwarts
Being a school of magic, stuff getting damaged isn't hard to imagine, and neither is the occasional scuffle and potential injuries. For the most part, players are free to do whatever with their characters, within reason, though if we feel that players are abusing this, we will review this policy or take action on a case by case basis.
Permission is required if the violence/damage/injuries:
❧ Occur in a high traffic area. For example: Common Rooms, Great Hall
❧ Involve Extreme Destruction. For example: reducing walls to rubble, demolishing the grounds.
❧ Involve injuries that require medical attention from on of the nurses or a medic. (Though we have gifted and dedicated medical students in Squarewarts, going to them is NOT a way around the nurse/medic rule.) For example: broken bones, lots of bleeding, bad burns.
❧ Has the potential to effect 5+ characters. For example: anti-muggleborn graffiti on walls, fights/duels in a crowded area.
If you aren't sure where something falls in regard to these policies, contact us or we may have to freeze the log while we contact you. That said, we do understand that during logs somethings things escalate beyond expectations. This is okay, as long as you contact us about it.
If your character has a special ability that involves destroying things in order to master control, we're going to go ahead and assume there are training grounds for that sort of thing.
This system relies on players not abusing it, so please don't have your character constantly getting injured, etc.

Only one person involved in the log need reply to this post, as long as everyone involved is mentioned in their permission request.
Special Abilities, Weapons and Items
In order for your character to have a special ability, weapon or item, you MUST get mod permission. To do this, you fill in one of the following forms. You can have your character use this ability/weapon/item at Hogwarts whenever you like, so long as you keep our general standard for violence/destruction/injuries in mind (see above). Please also remember that if your character involves control or making assumptions of other peoples characters, you must get their permission so as not to godmod.
BEFORE YOU FILL IN THE SPECIAL ABILITIES FORM, PLEASE CHECK OUR BRANCHES OF MAGIC PAGE.
This page could make adapting the power you have in mind to fit in Squarewarts much easier!
Weapons & Special Items at Hogwarts
If your character has a weapon or any sort of special item (secretly or otherwise) at school, we would like you to fill in this form so that we can have a record of who has what in their possession. This will include an IC section so that we can determine who has such possessions secretly, and who does not, especially following the attack on the school.
Please note that you character may only have a weapon at school if they have a canon weapon that they are likely to have with them at all times. Firearms will be accepted for staff members only.
Character name:
Canon weapon/Item:
Specific properties/abilities:
How will this be translated to Hogwarts?
Why do you want them to have this weapon/item at school?
IC - Only applies if you wish the item to be school approved
Name:
Year/Position:
Item/Weapon:
Why do you wish to have this weapo/itemn on the school grounds?
I, [NAME], solemnly swear that if I am granted permission to have [SPECIFY ITEM] on school grounds, that it will be used responsibly and never to the detriment of staff or students.
Anything extra?
Special Abilities & Powers at Hogwarts
As with weapons and special items, many of the characters at Hogwarts canonically have remarkable powers which are important to their characterization and development through their canon. Some of these would translate very well to the Harry Potter world; for example, mind reading could be interpreted as legilimency, while a shapeshifter could be an animagus or a metamorphmagus. Some powers are not so straightforward.
As indicated in the rules, any special ability or power, or if a character is not human, requires mod permission. The same goes for if your character acquires an extraordinary power over the course of the game.
Please fill in this form if you character has a power/ability/etc. Even if you have already had this mod approved we would like a record here just to make sure we are all on the same page and to assure that we all can understand different characters abilities.
Character name:
Canon Ability/Power:
Why do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character?
What does it do? / How does it work?
How will this be translated to Hogwarts?
How will you be limiting this power?
Do other characters know about this power?
Anything else?
While we may approve a special ability and/or weapon now, if we find they are being abused then we reserve the right to issue a warning, and will, if necessary, withdraw approval for that power and/or weapon.
