Roleplay Guide - North

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

{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, and even harder to start. So we've decided to post an entire thread that will inform members of the Guild on what's going on. Each Hemisphere will have it's own guide with the story-lines of the roleplays set in its area. 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!

*If you spot a flaw in the guide, please PM me and I will try to fix it.

RP Types
~Roleplay Types will be added once a roleplay becomes active.~

• 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.

Roleplay Type:

Active Characters:
Arturo Mesna - A human; played by reZ_SK
Linus - A vampire, and friend of Arturo; played by reZ_sk
reZ - a robot created by Arturo; played by reZ_SK

Hook:
Very few humans are allowed to help the Konijns develop new inventions and technologies. Those that earn their trust are able to work within the Pate, a large laboratory in the eastern side of Nyx. This is an honor, for few are as intelligent and skilled in technology as the Konijns. However, one a vampiric human they selected has an ulterior motive.

They rescued him, offering him blood, and through his intelligence and cunning nature, he proved himself. Now, after being trained, he plans to steal the secrets and return to Bulen, his home. But he must be careful, for his intelligence is not equal to the Nyxians, and if he's caught, he will be hunted down quickly. He is also disabled by his vampiric nature, needing blood and darkness to survive. Will he escape Nyx with his life? You choose.

Plot:
Sitting atop a stone pillar before the Pate, Arturo watched the Kolign guards change shifts, followed by his vampiric friend, exit as well. Jumping down, he greeted his friend, seeing his troubled expression. Questioning him, he asks if the vampire is still considering his theft. Arturo quietly admits agreeing with him, if it weren't for weapons, as Lyndria needs stimulus. However, with the weapons, there would just be violence. Though the vampire knew, he didn't care. Their opinions on the Koligns varied, from respect to a mild jealousy.

Linus however was focused on improving his position, and finally getting power. Still, he considered Arturo his friend, and he did not want to break that friendship. His inner turmoil was great as he teetered between his desires and his loyalties. Unsure, but tired of worrying, Linus leaves his friend, to return to work.

Arturo decided to take a pleasant walk around the giant obsidian dome to clear his head. Remembering the awe he felt upon first entering. Even now he was still awed by the Koligns’ intelligence but also their ability to hold back the potential power they possessed. He respected them, and wished Linus would as well.

Passing a group of agricultural developers, he caught the eye of one female he found himself attracted to. Inter-relations between Kolign and Human did not occur. The Kolign believed in maintaining a pure lineage. None the less, they remained unpretentious towards other races, as it could only fuel hostility.

Reaching his station, Arturo started working. His task was to smooth the transition of devices to non-Kolign nations. Though those plans were in the far future. For now, only harmless children’s toys were released to the public.

As Arturo worked, reZ, an AI he created himself, pulled up the schematics of the weapons he had before him. Linus, took a break from his work. Once again he thought about his friend, Arturo, knowing how much he’d sacrificed for him. With a sigh, he returned to work, keeping some data keys on the side, for his dangerous quest.
