FAQ
FAQ
ASK. THE ANSWER IS LIKELY YES. YOU MISS 100% OF THE SHOTS YOU DON'T TAKE, ETC.
What kinds of characters are allowed in this game?
» Canon characters, AUs of canon characters, CRAUs of canon characters, and OCs from your own original world. We allow characters based on real historical figures but not the playing of real people themselves (i.e. characters from the musical Hamilton, yes, a K-Pop idol, no).
So you allow duplicates of a character?
» That's right, but they have to be different versions. If you want to app Harry Potter but someone already plays canon Harry Potter, you'll have to app an AU (Harry was sorted into Slytherin!) or CRAU (previously from another game) version. Only three versions of the same character are concurrently allowed.
Can I app a second character from a canon I already play from?
» That depends. You can't play two canon versions of characters from the same canon, but you can play one canon version and one AU version, or two AU versions from different AUs, which does include CRAUs. We judge apps of seconds from a canon you play in already based on how close the characters are and how likely they would be to interact if a player other than yourself were apping. In general we don't mind a bit of fudging about this, but we ask you do reasonably consider and make sure you're not apping characters who would be close or want to interact a lot. Apping a second character from a canon you play in will always be judged case by case.
Can I app my canon OC?
» Yes and no. You cannot app any fandom OCs with a direct relationship (familial or otherwise) to a canon character, but beyond that, OCs from within an established canon universe or a universe that uses the same mechanics as a canon will be appable on a case by case basis. Talk to the mods if you want to app one of these options. Please note that any malleable protagonist OCs must be apped as AUs rather than a definitive canon version.
So I can app a silent/malleable protagonist?
» Yes. However, all malleable protagonists must be apped AU. Hawke, Shepard, Persona protags, the Warrior of Light; you can app any of these or others and play them with the game events happening more or less canon as you wish, fully canon or more AU, but the AU is there to allow people apping NPCs or party members from the canon to app without necessarily being bound by the choices of your character.
Is there a powercap?
» Not really, but if your character has powers, abilities, or items that would allow them to leave the setting, they just don't work. Call it an effect of asshole godly cosmic power. Reality altering powers are also slightly weakened, and if your character can normally see the future, they'll find that all they see is indistinct fog. Basically, consider anything that would be game-breaking as already broken and fudge it for what works best for you and those you play with.
I'm playing a god/would-be-godslayer, can I fight Sinne or Ciemra?
» Nope! Some strange quirk of fate/their godly cosmic powers/whatever has turned you into a comparatively lesser god. You're welcome to have your character plot against the gods, but at least for now, they won't succeed.
When are apps open/processed?
» Apps open on the 25th of every month and are closed at 11:59pm est on the last day of every month. They are processed the day after that, the 1st of every month.
Do I have to reserve to app a character?
» Nope! But reserves open on the 22nd of every month if you want to anyway.
How many characters can I play?
» Currently, each player can play up to four characters. We trust you to know how many you can handle while remaining reasonably active.
What's outside the West Gate?
» Please look forward to it! Rather, that will be revealed as in-game events progress.
What happens when my character arrives?
» They're given a short orientation by the priests of one of the temples as well as some money, a ration voucher and most importantly, their Fetish. Their Fetish is a piece of jewelry that you, the player, decide on, and can be worn while accomplishing Objectives. It collects the energy from Objectives that can then be turned in at the temples as tribute in place of artifacts. They're also allowed to stay at one of the temples for a month, while they find lodging elsewhere.
