CHARACTER CREATION
First-Time Role players :First timers are eligible to have one character once they start out in Eothien, extra characters will be rewarded if individuals reach 50 posts for each character they want to make. All Animals are accepted, even fantasy and creatures and monsters. Anything from movies, books, games; you name it you can be it, but make sure to notify staff so your species/breed can be put down in the 'Resident's of Eothien' thread; and even anthro's are welcomed. Humans are harder to get however, you must have 200 posts to make a human in Eothien. % characters per individual.
Setting and Time: Eothien used to be a two kingdom ruled land and after the great war many years ago; this land is now absent with no one to roam about. The invention of blacksmiths and swords, bow and arrows, slingshots and other midevil weapons are accepted. Guns are not accepted as it is an easier way to hurt someone without getting into the actual feel of a old time midevil land.
Characters : Characters can be anything - The choices are many! We encourage creativity, but we must remind you not to go into the Sues! To see if your character is Sue-ish, try out this test (will take you to another site). Check out the population page and originality thread to see what we have surplus of, and what we lack.
Plagiarism : Don't.
Display Name :: After making your account, please change your display name to that of your character.
Balance :: When making your character, try and make them as even as possible. If they have one huge advantage, be sure to give them many weaknesses to compensate that appear frequently. Don't bother putting weaknesses if they're never going to show up in RP's. This also goes with personality.
Multiple Characters :: If you are RPing two characters in the same post-thread with other people, please post separately per account. If you are RPing with yourself, you may give a post for each in the first account, but then your response (at least 12 hours later) should be on the other account.
ROLE PLAY
Word Count ::An RP post should be at least 100 words minimum.
Be Literate :: Please be literate when RPing. We don't tolerate chatspeak, chat abbreviations or smileys in posts (unless there are OOC notes). Keep an eye on your spelling and grammar, we'll let you know if your text is difficult to understand. If English isn't your first language, that's fine! We will encourage anyone willing to learn another tongue and will help you out if you have any linguistic issues!
Weapons :: We're playing in a old midevil era, so swords, axes, bludgeons, chain-balls, hammers, etc. are all accepted. Ranged weapons include bows, crossbows, spears/javelins, catapults, and so on. There is no magic in this world. For available metals, blacksmiths are able to forge iron, bronze, silver, and gold. We accept jewels encrusted into weaponry, or coloured/stained weapons., but jewels and diamonds, gold and crystals are rare to come by so don't have an excessive amount.
Timestamps :: Timestamps help us know where characters are in the world and make sure their stories aren't muddled up in the wrong order. No one can be in two places at once, after all! Please post Timestamps at the start of each of your thread. Please use this following format,
Code:
DATE & TIME :
WEATHER CONDITIONS :
CHARACTERS INVOLVED :
Relationships :: A considerable amount of time should pass before two characters can become a couple, it be kinda weird kissing a random character or person wouldn't it?!
PG-13 :: As mentioned above, the site is PG-13 so anything more than kissing should really be avoided. Otherwise you MUST put a warning at the start of the thread or post.
No God Modding :: Unless you are controlling an NPC, you cannot control what other people's characters can do. Your character is NOT invincible, nor has sudden incredible super powers. Your character can't be overpowered. You cannot kill or gravely wound another person's character without their EXPRESS permission.
Dialogue and Thoughts :: Dialogue and Thoughts should be able to be distinguished from narrative text. The common example on this site is Italics for thoughts, normal roleplaying should be the regular font that everyone uses.
