PROFILE
This is your next step after reading all the important info here. During Character Creation you will need to choose a faction for him/her. I suggest you look around and talk to people first. Then, if you are sure of your choice, ask in the roster section of said faction to join, you must post your profile on the faction board. It should look more or less like that:
INFO:
Name:
Gender:
Species:
Age:
Homeworld:
Appearance:
Special signs:
WEAPONS:
(your weapons here, just reasonable please - not whole armory, k ? )
SHIP:
(Your Personal Starship Here)
BIO:
(Your Biography Here)
If you posted your profile, you are a faction member now. You can take a paid mission or start your own RP thread and gain some experience. You can only be in one RP at the time! Also, when you create your own RP plot, you must specify in title:
(Open) - Anyone Can Join
(Closed) - No one Can Join
(Invite Only) - Only Invited Members Can Join
Don't join an RP when it's not (Open) or if you are not invited!
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE MAJOR CHARACTERS FROM THE ANY STAR WARS SERIES. PERIOD. AND NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
CLASSES & CREDITS
When you join a faction you will be assigned a class. Each faction has different classes. Everyone will start at the lowest level unless they have previous Administrative approval. If a class has a sub-class then you must pick one of those.
N.P.Cs
You can have 3 NPCs, (Non Playable Characters,) who are under your control (fight for you, etc.). They can travel on their own and be in other RPs other than the one your main character is in. Episodic characters suvh as Jedi 1 or Guard 3 aren't NPCs ! It is possible to change your NPC with main character for some time and then NPC takes credits from main character who becomes NPC.
FIGHT WITH OTHER CHARACTERS
Fight with other RPer's character is possible but need to be settled with its owner through PM, e-mail, messenger or OOC (Out of Character) notes beforehand. In other words, if you want to fight another user, ask him/her for approval.
NOTE: Also, please don't forget about levels. Characters with high levels can't be soundly beaten by lower-level characters. However, keep in mind the condition of the character, their RPing ability, the difference between the levels, etc. Minor differences like 30 and 31 means cilantro...they will be very close to equals. That doesn't mean nobody can win...it just means it's very fair. RPing ability counts more in battle than levels.
Some general DO NOT's when RPing
NO ONE-HIT KILLS
NO ONE-POST VICTORIES
NO GOD-MODE (Making Your Character Invincible)
Now, on to the topic of RPing ability. Here is an example of a poor post. Let's say that Darth Kakarot and Darth Hellion are in battle.
Poor Post: *darth kakarot swung hard fast and then jumpd and came down. he swung at hellion and said 'i will kill you now', and hellion got angry so he chopped but kakarot was 2 good and he stopped it.*
OK, that's poor. Spelling sucks. Grammar is non-existent. And it's got no style whatsoever. Here is an example of a good post.
*Darth Kakarot felt his muscles tighten as he threw his entire weight behind his gleaming crimson blade. He flipped into the air, and swung for Hellion, snarling.*
"DEATH HAS COME AT LAST, HELLION!" *He roared, loud enough that his voice almost gave out on him. Hellion gave Kakarot a look of pure hatred, and swung with all of his might. His yellow lightsaber moved like a lightning bolt towards Kakarot's head, but Kakarot had just enough time to raise his blade, and block. Their blades stayed crossed for a second, humming, red on yellow.*
Obviously, that's a better post. You see? Now, if the first poster is fighting the second poster, normally the second poster will win. Please, keep RPing talent in mind when fighting, it is just as important as levels.
TIME AND DEATH
Time doesn't stand still. It goes by all the time making your characters older. We will update time frames from time to time so keep your eyes open especially in News and Updates. Remember about your age. With time your character will have to die (don't worry, it won't be so fast ). However, some species live longer than other. You can also always kill your character somehow and create another one starting from the beginning or continue at the level you currently are (it's up to you ). Just give him a heroic death.
The question has arisen of "coming back from the dead." It is possible to have a character come back, but let me explain. The character cannot be really dead. He has to have been alive the entire time. It cannot be like in LOTR where Gandalf is sent back from the dead. It is possible, however, that the character never really died, and therefore, everyone just thinks he is dead. Unless you have a really, really good reason and have consulted with the Admins and we have passed it with a majority vote, then perhaps something can be worked out somehow. Ok?
Also, if actions that are Major, such as a faction being created or the like, please have at least 3 Admin approvals before making it, but try to make sure more know about it.
That's all for now. All questions please post on Ask Administrators board.
