What to Expect

We're excited that you are thinking about joining our sim. We love meeting new people and expanding the roleplay opportunities for everyone. We're going to try to make that as easy as possible. So let's get started!

"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please." - Mark Twain

First things first: There's No Application!

We have created a pretty forgiving story world for you to weave characters together with other players. Nothing worse than coming up with a great idea you really want to play only to get halfway through an application and realize it won't work because you missed one of the dozens of skill and attribute and powers pages along the way while you were switching back and forth between screens or you miscounted your points.

As long as your character idea fits within the outline of what you'll find in our IC Information sections, chances are you'll fit in just fine. There are some of the more powerful perks and combinations that we, as staff, would like to just go over with you to make sure everything is crystal clear- but those should not be commonplace. We anticipate 90% of players can just jump right in.

We have a very active Discord and ticket system you can use to ask questions. We also have a Character Introduction channel in our Discord where you will post general information about your character and then jump right into RP.

We don't want to limit you, buuuuuuuut....

Of course we have some limits. Omniscient Deities that can counter everything, Overbearing Mary Sues who somehow avoid every consequence, and the Jack of Literally All Trades are not only hard to roleplay against, but they just aren't really fun for anyone else. We WANT to partner with you to make a fun character that you can enjoy, but sometimes we might have to say no to make sure everyone else has fun as well.

As you're putting your character ideas together, we do ask that you try to balance out all the cool and nifty stuff you can do with flaws or weaknesses as well. Not only does it give your character flavor, but it can be a lot of fun as well.

You'll read more about this in our OOC Section on Code of Conduct, but one last point we want to make sure is crystal clear: All players and characters must be over 18, avatars must look over 18, and no powers will be allowed which infringe on the OOC consent of any other players.

Who are you people and what can I expect?

The sim owner has been an active RPer for a very long time. From D&D table top as a kid to White Wolf LARPs, text based MU*, and email server turn based RP all the way up to Second Life RP sims. Most of the people who you will see about the sim have also been role playing together for years in Second Life, have owned sims of their own in the past, and truly enjoy creating memorable stories together. While that may make you worry that you won't get RP if you don't know anyone, that is the absolute furthest from reality! We're opening a community to meet new people and share experiences. Come have fun with us!

Active players who choose to take on staffing responsibilities or help us out in the Discord don't get any special extra powers nor access to the few restricted things we don't want on the sim. We hate cliques that don't share RP just like everyone else.

While we will endeavor to provide regular events, RP Hooks, mysteries to solve, and storylines for you to engage with, we also encourage you to create your own and share with others. We have a robust Event calendar in our Discord and we encourage everyone to submit ideas and run with them. None of us are interested in being too controlling over everything you're doing.

So how do I get started?

We encourage you to first read our OOC Code of Conduct to ensure that you'll fit in with the vibe we're going for here. Then check out the very loooooooooooose storyworld lore we have put up for you. Again, the idea is to make sure that almost everyone's concepts will work here with minor tweaking so that you can have a good time.

From there, head over to the race pages and see if what you want to play will fit in with how we're thinking about the world.

You won't find any global vampire councils that direct traffic nor an ancient, gnarled witch that controls the cosmos with her tv remote. (...though, y'know, I kinda like that image now that I think about it). If two shifters both app in and one wants to say they came from a strict cabal of shifters and one says yea, man, there's no organization- both are fine. It is a big, wide, globe out there and laws are almost never, truly, universal.

Except sunlight. It's gonna burn a vampire.

....unless you have a way around that pesky problem.

All of this to say: We want to work with you. Once you get through the pages and think you want to join us, please join our Discord and come visit the Sim. Chat with other RPers and ask any questions you may have.
