[ Besides serving as The Aviarchate Republic’s respective sign-up project, it also lists out the basic guidelines/rules of the role-play, what roles are open for new characters to join, and serves as the main section for questions about the role-play ] Rules: -You may have five characters at a time. Only one of said characters can be a resident of the High Class though -Powerplaying or Gary/Mary-Sue characters are not tolerated in the role-play. Every character has and must display flaws -Follow the Scratch guidelines and hold common decency/respect whenever interacting with others. Maintain a PG-13 environment at most, nothing above that -Hate the character, not the Scratcher -Try to stick to the species listed under each class when making a character (and no non-bird characters), although feel more than free to make suggestions if you would like a species to potentially be added -While certain species are allowed in different classes, they should still be limited (and must have reason as for their placement outside of their species’ standard ranking) -Given the role-play takes place in the future, you are allowed to make creative/genetic variations to the overall base appearance of your bird(s) (do try to keep them somewhat realistic - no bright pink ravens or over-sized sparrows) -Certain roles will require role-play examples when applying, given their importance in the context of the republic itself. As such, feel more than free to provide links to previous threads you were part of - whatever shows you have the necessary experience to be applying for the spot -Always ask first for permission from the owner first before killing, injuring, or doing something that will permanently affect another chatacter -While the class system of the republic does encourage certain roles to have higher authority and respect over others, please do not have your character go out of their way to heavily discriminate the lower classes **(Codeword is your favorite bird)** -Characters are allowed to wear simplistic, post-apocalyptic attire, although keep it within reason for a bird to reasonably wear (necklaces, colored paint, neck wraps, goggles, etc. - feel free to branch off from the listed class attire ideas if desired) -In order to create a flock/group, you need five existing characters to become members in it (including your own), and you must provide a reason for creating it when proposing it to a manager. Link and sign-ups for flocks can be found in the project here: -Do keep in mind this role-play takes place a long time after the extinction of humanity. Humans do not exist anymore, but birds know of them through the relics they left behind and for playing a role in some way in building the ruined city the republic lives in -Try to stick to the locations within the republic. Characters won’t normally leave the grounds of the city, and travel into and out of the republic is usually frowned upon for security reasons. Link to the project about the different locations here if you need it: -Feel free to ask any questions you may have! :D ✯ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ✯ Character Form: Username w/ @ || Name || Title/Nickname (opt.) || Gender || Age (in months) || Class Position & Role/Job || Species || Appearance + Garments/Attire (if they have any) || Personality (two positive, one neutral, and two negative traits) || Strengths and Weaknesses (two of each at a minimum) || Loyalty to the Republic (from 1-5) || Backstory (opt.) || Relationships (opt.) || Codeword || Any Questions? || Other Character Age Guide: -4-7 months (Fledgling) -8-24 months (Young Adult) -25+ months (Adult) -100+ months (Senior) (This is heavily simplified, although feel free to also reference the respective bird species and their age ranges when designing characters) ✯ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ✯ Open High Class Roles/Ranks: -High Council of Feathers (2/8) (please provide role-play examples when applying) -Lower Nobility (3/20) -Talon-Officers (Always open) Open Middle Class Roles/Ranks: -Truthweaver (0/1) (please provide role-play examples when applying) -Archivists (1/5) -Featherbinders (1/10) -Perchwardens (1/10) -Pagewings (Always open) -Metalshapers (Always open) -Nestwrights (Always open) -Techbinders (Always open) -Artisans (Always Open) Open Lower Class Roles/Ranks: -Sky-fledglings (1/10) -Dustrunners (2/15) -Outlaws (2/15) -Scrappers (Always open) -Nightrounds (Always open) -Perchmenders (Always open) For more information about the different ranks, look to the project here:
