Roleplay Guide - Lyndrian Academy

[ - Last Updated: 5/7/10 - ]

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

We here at Lyndria realize that the storylines can be pretty difficult to follow at times, so we've decided to post an entire thread that will inform members of the Guild on what's going on. Storylines of all of the Terrains' RPs will be posted here, from this point on! This will be convenient in the event that you are new to the Guild, or have been gone for some time and would like to catch up on where your character should be, and what you should be doing, in an RP!

***As a note, I am toying with an idea of setting up a syllabus and student portfolios, but that will take more time. For now, I will stick with a simple summary of what has happened in the class.***

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.

Introduction
In this class, you will learn facts about the various magical beasts as well as their habitats, how dangerous they are and how to defeat them.

Plot:
Coming from his quaint hovel in his stiff new uniform, Quork proudly enters through the academy through the side door. With a quick inhale, he sorts through the smells of the castle to locate its Headmistress. Reaching her office, he is welcomed in my a young lady, nervous about the upcoming class. Lady Fae gives the gnoll the simple tasks of unlocking the gate and cleaning up the dining hall.

From his position, a servant, Quork out of fear and some respect, works hard for the food and safety the lady provides. The young girl feels a certain repulsion to the odd creature. Once he leaves, she drinks herbs she has hidden in her desk. They help her maintain a humanoid form, even if they cause chills and sometimes seizures, for they’re partially poisonous. Attempting to ignore the euphoria and sharp pains, she dropps her head to the desk, muttering her hatred of curses.

Quork completes his chores quickly, using the academy as an obstacle course. When he returns to the lady, Miles enters the academy, and is surprised to see a gnoll at his door. His appearance frightens Qurok, causing him to rush into the office and hide behind Fae’s desk. The headmistress takes the commotion in stride, greeting Miles instead, and then introduced Quork to him. Quork, fearful and distrusting of all enlightened, especially elves, maintained his safe spot behind Fae. He believes that if any elf were to find him, he would be skinned. ((I’m unsure if that means killed or not…X.X)) Fae and Miles discussed his upcoming trials, while Quork went home having been dismissed.

Erik, fleeing from hounds of darkness, slipped inside of the castle. Though his memory was shattered, bits told him this was the Academy and that a Fae was here. He wandered the halls, until he came upon the Beasts of Lyndria door, and knocked also. An adorable silver fox also wandered the halls, until coming upon Erik’s figure. Fae welcome them both in and introductions were made while another entered the Academy. He attempted to remain hidden outside the office, but the talented teacher spotted Eren almost immediately. The two newcomers, Eren and Erik had a battle of wills before Fae stepped between them. Miles, standing the side, declared he was interested in his next task. Fae, growing quickly exasperated, sent him off to the sphinx with a partner of his choice.
