El F.a.q.; Some random but common questions

Q: How many characters can I have?
A: I. Don't care. xD As long as you keep each one relatively active and each one on their own separate account under their first AND last name, I don't mind. And don't be a dick about it either. "I have more characters than you shaddap!" in a serious tone is not gonna fly. Oh, and try not to make them all... related or knowing of one another or friends or whatever. Cause... that's kinda pathetic if you play all your friends.

Q: So... does this follow the game storyline by heart?
A: Actually, no... and yes. Generally I just decided we'd have the War of Nine Dragons and already pre-established game history in our RP, and we'd go from there. We're set 20 years after the War, but we don't really follow the general story line that is currently running in game.

Q: I want a char, but I don't want a Chinese char. Can I be European or something else?
A: Absolutely. I don't really care. Besides, I think by 1377, the Silk Road has been built so trade is ensuing between Asia and Europe. You just can't really be Native American... Columbus hasn't flown the Spaniard coop and found them yet. What was that, the 1600s? ... long way to go.

Q: Do I have to stick to the historical events? Can't I just rewrite history for my own purposes?
A: Depends on what you mean. You want to rewrite something that happened BEFORE 1377, mmno. It'd be too much work for everyone to keep up with everything the other members have rewritten. If you mean what happens AFTER your character ends up in a clan in 1377, that's fine. That's somewhat the point xD

Q: Can I play a Dragon/clan leader/elder/other persons of importance?
A: I'm going to have to say no. I realize I bear the name of a rather powerful NPC, but this is merely because I decided Admin Suyis was a very boring name to have for my admin account. So no NPCs or roleplaying as a Dragon.

Q: Are you always so bitchy?
A: Shaddap, I'm on my man-time.

Q: So how does this work? No one can really prove their character stats in-game, so how do we know whose stronger and whose not?
A: Ya don't. Basically how it works is, you RP. End. Treat it like it's real life instead of making game references, as a few of our members won't be familiar with in-game play, and as always, be nice and don't auto/power-hit, god mode, or otherwise cause fight-RP issues. Okay? I realize that in-game, one character is always stronger than another, but this isn't in-game. This is RP, where anything is possible. And if you play an Iron Fist and get your ass kicked by a Wutang character played by an amazingly thoughtful RPer, don't whine. It's annoying.

Q: I would like to have a Chinese name for my character, but I don't have any ideas. Help?
A: Go jump off a bridge. I'm kidding. Here's a couple good sites for names from around the world, so have a peek or two. Behind the Name also offers properly researched name meanings so I would go with their meanings before I go for 20,000 names' listed meanings.
Behind the Name.
20,000 Names.

Q: I registered, but I can't login because it says I'm not registered!
A: This is probably because you registered incorrectly. Firstname Lastname format ONLY. I will not accept first name only registrations, and I will not accept things like Blackgod283. Okay? Okay. If you registered and you're still not a member, try it again with and FIRST AND LAST name. Not yours. Your character's. I.E. Suyis Black, Rena Chambers etc... And no NPC names. Immediate deletion, even if the format is right. If you're really that stuck on a name, translate a couple words into another language; ta da insta-name. I hate to be so stuck up about this, but everyone and their mama gets this wrong.

Q: ... why is it so damn important to register with a character name?
A: Confusion, my dear Sherlock. To prevent confusion. If you play all your characters on the same account named Iamgod2873, how are they going to know which character you're playing at a specific time? Exactly. It just makes it easier if each character has their separate account under their name.

Q: What can I use for signatures and avatars? Can I use a picture of the stars?
A: Normally I wouldn't really give a damn, but since this is an RP board, choose someone [whether celebrity or CG character from a game or other animation] and make a signature and avatar out of them and use that. It just looks nicer and I'm used to being able to see the character I'm playing with while reading a post. Besides, siggies are fun, and I know there are a lot of talented graphics artists out there. If you can't make one of your own, you can post a graphics request in the general discussion forum on this board, or you may look into one of these two boards here.
Red Carpet && Rebellion
Pandora's Closet
Both sites have amazing graphics artists you can request from, but be sure to read their rules and everything before making requests so your request isn't just trashed. :3

Q: Anything else you want to bitch about?
A: Nah. Go frolic in the wilderness now or something.
