Seeing how this forum is new, no one is really able to ask any questions yet. But here are some of the basics for you to see. Should there be more questions, list them here.
* What kind of characters are allowed here?
- Any of the Species that have been listed here
* Am I able to use another type of species that isn't on the list?
No. This forum is brand new as there are plenty of species available. More may come in the future if there is large enough demand for it
*Can I use a picture from the web to use as my character design?
- Unless you have sought permission and have given full credit, no. Art theft will not be tolerated here.
*I'm new at roleplaying! HELP!
- Don't worry, many people are new at roleplaying! Just ask questions from other members or me if you need help with something. Also try using the rule of posting two paragraphs per post. It keeps the thread alive and makes the person you're roleplaying with happy.
*How can I become the owner of someone else's characters that's up for adoption?
- Typically the person wants tryout post of some kind. Each thread in the UFA section of this forum should have rules for their own characters
*How can I become a mod?
- I will give powers to those I feel deserve it. You may not ask me for powers, you won't get it if you do. Best thing to do is follow the rules, be active, and help others.
*How do I post images?
If you haven't, create a Photobucket account at photobucket.com. It's free and easy to use, so don't worry. Sign on and click "browse", then search for the picture you wish to post. Photobucket will announce that a new picture has been deposited and you will see your image below the Browse button. Below your image are a series of tags, or weird letters that look like URLs. Ignore the rest, all you want is the one beside URL. Copy that.
Now go back to the forum. Click "post" and you will open up the new post where you can write what you want (or, skip that and just use Quick Reply). Insert the URL you just copied between the [ img] [ /img] tags ([ img]URL[ /img], minus the spaces).
*How do I create an avatar?
Follow the instructions above but after submitting your picture to Photobucket, click your profile (look up, see that bar with the stuff like "Home" and "Search"? "Profile" is up there) and then click "Modify Profile". Write your password down twice in the spaces provided, otherwise you can't modify your profile. Now scroll down. You'll see an option to insert custom avatar image. Just paste the URL you got from Photobucket in there. Be sure it's either .jpg, .png. or .gif, and it's only 100x100 pixels.
*Who is the Manager of this forum?
- Kaylii
*What time period is this?
- Seeing how this isn't really 'Earth' the rules are a bit different. Everything is rather medieval. There's limited types of guns, and electricity only runs in The Underground. Things such as jeans don't exist, mainly cloth, pelts, leathers and metals.
*Are the races necessarily restricted to the towns they're from? Or can any race RP anywhere?
Yep, you can roleplay them anywhere.. Just be careful of where you put them. A vampire isn't going to be treated happily is you stick them in the wood elf area... And placing a High Elf in the were wolf lands isn't exactly smart.
*If you create characters they can be of any alliance, not just a bunch of evil characters for example, right?
It depends really.. Most of them were born of that Alliance. Unless they're trying to escape their home for safety, they'll probably be in the Alliance they were meant to be in.
Or if they're spies or some sort
Your character can also be of two alliances. For example: Perhaps they live in the Suma territory, but help out with the Enda when it is needed. Just don't mix The Muerte and Enda and think it'll end well. After the wars the two alliances still don't trust each other
*Can I attack other characters in roleplay?
Of course, but with permission of the character's owner and no godmodding while doing so (meaning don't automatically hit their character IC'ly, do a "Fred swung his arm out in attempt to hit Freddy's face" so that it gives the other roleplayer a chance to react. There is also no direct killing a characer without the owner's permission
This should go without saying, but please be respectful towards me, the Admin of the forum, and the members that are part of this. Do not attack anyone (verbally of course) or create unnecessary arguments. Let's create a fun and welcoming environment for everyone!
