There is no current plot. The forests welcome new travelers within these lands.
Event Status: Not Active (each accepted character allowed to RP in multiple RP threads)

RP Season: Summer
This means everything is green, flowers are everywhere, and the shining sun creates a need for shady shelter on the warmest days.

Character Profile has Changed

Post by Gaeva Winged Unicorn »

The profile form to fill out when joining your character has been changed.
  • The format is different, but the wording has been changed as well to hopefully make some things more clear. Take note of the "Disadvantages" section in particular.
  • There are no more "good" and "evil" characters. No alignment whatsoever is included anymore, your character is what you play it to be.
  • All the different categories concerning a characters age have been replaced by just the actual age, and a separate category when you indicate the character's maturity instead.
  • I couldn't decide between the discussed "Demeanor" and "How do they see the Forest" categories, so both have been included. They are also both optional, along with the "Anything Else" category at the end of the profile.
  • And finally reminders to update your character profile after having RPed them for a bit after acceptance have been included ^_^
If anyone with an already accepted character would like to add the new categories to their profiles (or update in general), then just request for the profile to be opened in the Spirit forum so you can do so ^_^

Thank you to Viz for helping me untangle this mess!


If you have any questions, remarks or whatever, then post so in here!

Also, and this is very important folks, disadvantages don't have to equal out abilities in number, just in relative balance, so a few rather minor abilities can be countered by a major disadvantage, or a major power might need a few disadvantages.

We're trusting you guys to treat the system with respect and to understand what it means to make a balanced character - so don't blow it, okay? :grin
