Roleplay Guide - Starter Roleplays

[ - Last Updated: 8/28/10 - ]

{A BIG thanks to Just Before An Eclipse, Ken Kurosawa, and kroska for manning the Guide!}

We here at Lyndria recognize that there are a lot of story-lines to follow, which can be difficult at times. Therefore, we created a Roleplay Guide that will inform members of the Guild what's going on. Since all together in one thread seemed to be a big overwhelming in and of itself, I decided to separate the guide. This section will include the starter roleplays Faelan was kind enough to think of. They haven't been started and are simply waiting to be roleplayed in.

*If you notice any problems with the guide, please PM me, and I will try to fix it.

RP Types

• Extremely Casual - The name says it all. Basically, this is the lowest level of strictness an RP can possibly have. This Type indicates that you will probably never be required to post, as it is purely fun-oriented. You have permission to post out-of-turn and possibly disregard a few of the Guild's Rules, such as the forbidden use of asterisks.
Note: This Type of RP will only be allowed in the Casual RPer.

• Casual - This Type indicates that the RP is purely casual. Without your post, there is a possibility of the other Characters getting stuck in the storyline, but it wouldn't be a major concern, so you are not necessarily obligated to keep track. The Rules of etiquette in this RP will be decided by the creator and will be clearly indicated.

• Semi-Strict - This Type represents a moderate amount of strictness. Bordering on Casual, this particular Type of RP will encourage you to post in-turn, but will allow the storyline to pause temporarily if you fail to post, until too much time passes and they are forced to move on without you. Basically, you are encouraged post when it is your turn, but you will not receive angry PMs if you don't.

• Moderately Strict - You are strongly encouraged to post often. If you fail to do so, the storyline will come to a complete halt, as posting out-of-turn is simply not an option. If too much time passes, the other RPers will move on with another side of the story if they can realistically do so, but if there is no hope of recovery without your post, the other members of the RP may decide to send a PM simply notifying you of your need to post.

• Hardcore - This RP Type indicates that the creator of the RP has set a specific quota for how many posts will be expected from each RPer within a certain length of time (ex. once a week). If you fail to meet this quota without reason or prior notice, you will be asked to leave the RP.

Plot:
There is a shadow slowly falling over Lyndra. Its cities are crumbling, and forests are burning down one after another. Worse, magic is slowly being drained from the earth, causing its creatures to perish. Anarchy has taken over: the Opalescent guard force is losing control. Alliances of bandits and vigilantes are growing. A beast has been created against nature, stronger than any has seen. The end is coming. Yet, perhaps there may be hope, if someone can stop it.

Plot:
The Moonless Marsh in olden times used to be a place of paradise, but now it has become a cursed place: evil gaining power without the moon's protection. Originally a home for Legendary creatures and the Enlightened folk, when humans came, they attacked the lovely marsh. They laid siege for three decades until every Legendary and Enlightened was killed. The hexes they used drove the moon from the land, allowing foul beasts to thrive. Can the moon return?

Plot:
Once there was a phoenix, faster and stronger than any other of its kind. The Hidden City’s residential cult desired the bird. Climbing the mountainside to its nest, one forced a black gem into its chest. Their evil mutated the bird: turning its feathers black, and driving it mad. Though the Cult fled, the bird lived on to terrorize the Arid Wastes. It began to kill people, and though many have attempted to kill the Black Phoenix, it’s species provides immortality. It will only cease if one removes the gem. Who will?

Location:
Eden: a small oasis-side village in the middle of the Arid Wastes.

Plot:
Though many myths have been told of the Legendary Lierax race, Lyndrian scientists believe it to be uninhabitable. Still, it's unnerving the similarities between the tales of old. One is of a human infant, who washed up on the shores of the glacier and was cared for by the Angelicals. What an interesting life he had.
