FAQS Before you go off and start asking a bunch of stupid questions, please look here! My Character is rejected, why? First off, did you read the rules? Remember, there are two sets of them. If you have not read all of the rules, your character is not going to be accepted. Second, is it over powered? We are trying to keep godmodding and powerplaying to a minimum. I understand it's very easy when you have supernatural powers, but please, be reasonable. Third, are all of the fields filled in? Remember. This is an intermediate-advanced roleplay site. Try and be more descriptive. And please, read whatever the admin has responded to your character. Chances are high, if it's rejected, we tell you what needs to be fixed. My roleplay/character got deleted! Chances are high it isn't deleted, simply moved to the archives in the staff board. Ask a staff member to replace it for you. This only happens though if the site is too crowded and the plots are finished, there is an activity check and your rp partner never returned and was deleted, or if you didn't respond to an activity check and was deleted. I've been banned from the c-box! Were you spamming? Were you threatening other members? Using it as an ICC? If not, pm an admin and we will fix the problem alright? So, what is the time frame here? It's located in the Rules section. Please acquaint yourself with them. So. I've used my character for x amount of years and I don't feel like changing/ extending their bio. Talk to an admin directly and we can work something out. I don't like changing my characters either, but please, try and be original. ~ ~ The Arbotreum FAQs ~ ~ What exactly does being an Abnormality mean? This is explained a bit in the rules, but as it goes, there are two different types of Abnormality. Those that know what they are, embrace and accept it, and those that don't. Those that do, are on The Arbotreum with Lady Celestina. Those that don't are on Elysium. Not that you couldn't make an Abnormality that knows what they are and live on Elysium. It's bound to happen sometime. What's so special about being an Elysian? Why should anyone even pick that? Elysians are the populous. They are literally everywhere on Elysium. They are basically what humans are to Earth. What's so special about them? Well, that would really be up to you. Perhaps you are an Inquisitor of sorts, hunting down Abnormalities. Perhaps you're a bounty hunter. Perhaps you are on the opposite side of that, and are trying to help hide the Abnormalities until they can disappear for good. Perhaps you're a smuggler, or a trader. After all, most Elysians despise Abnormalities, and because of this, they are the shop owners, the landlords, the ones that other Elysians would look up to in times of need. They are the leaders, and they are the followers. The sky is the limit here. It says that Abnormalities can have powers. What kinds of powers are there? At the moment, I am working on a list of acceptable things. But for now, just discuss it with an admin, either in the cbox, private messages, or even in your bio. Most things will probably be accepted. Elemental powers, telepathic/kinetic powers, even unique abilities if you can explain them well enough. There's not a place for powers in the Bio I'm aware of this. For now, place it in the Extra section. Upon being accepted, an admin will add a section for powers for you. Do all Abnormalities have powers? Yes and no. They all have access to magic, even while on Elysium, but usually, without the knowledge of how to obtain and use this magic, the Abnormalities on Elysium have less likely of a chance of using their abilities right away. Not saying that it can't or won't happen. But don't go too overboard about it. Without the training they receive on The Arbotreum, the Abnormalities on Elysium have powers that are either very weak, or out of control of their users. Only a rare few have powers from birth. It says Gods are going to be playable eventually. When exactly will that be? For now, Gods and Canons are both closed. Once we have a decent amount of members, and a decent representation of how you all roleplay, they will be open to be applied for. Okay, so how do I apply for Gods/Canons? If you have a desire to apply for something, be it Gods or Canons, you will have to fill out a small form, which, when they open will be provided. This form will include links to your current characters, a thread that you are in, and once that's done, an admin will give you a topic. You will need to make a sample post based on this topic. Its almost like writing an essay, which sucks, I know, but it is the easiest and best way to make sure that the character you are applying for will be played correctly. Canons will already have "half" done bios. With little snippets of information about them, be it personality, things they like or dislike, pieces of their history. These things will not be allowed to be changed, unless you have permission from Admin;;Aki to do so. However, you are free to add whatever you feel like to the bios of the canons. Upon approval they can be played like any other character that you have. But please be aware since they are canon, they may be used as an npc in someone else's thread. You can jump in their threads if you feel the over all need to, but please at least discuss it with the people participating first. Gods are a little less complicated to apply for. They are basically just another character, but you still need to put an example, based on a topic that an admin will give you. Just to make sure that you won't powerplay too much. They will have their own rules that they will need to follow, which will be posted upon opening the applications for Gods and Canons. This all seems very complicated. Indeed it does. If you are confused about something, please please please let Admin;;Aki know. Everything was made by Admin;;Aki, based on a dream that I had one night. So I've done my best to try and explain everything that I can, but I know there are holes in plot places.
