Table of Contents - Information - Character Acquisition - Changes to RP - Aging System - Roll Requirements - Dates _____________________________________ Information Hi all! Lineage is gearing up for a major update, so here is all you’ll need to know to get ready for it! We have three major changes, one to the character creation process, one to lore and by extension rp mechanics, and one to ranks and how they are acquired. All current users will have the opportunity to submit one of their current characters to retain their current rank/age. _____________________________________ Character Acquisition On the date detailed below, Sign-Ups will be closed permanently, and all remaining characters will be applied for from the clutches (all information on that can be found in the clutch template). Your character will start as a dragonet of about one year of age, and as they rp will be able to grow older and achieve different positions (more on that below). There will also be a change to the character count cap, each new person to join the rp will now be allowed only one character at any given time. Current Lineage members have the option of decreasing their character count to one in order to receive a second power roll on that character (if your character already has an ability but is eligible for more, that will be rerolled). To prepare for this update, users are encouraged to create either an unparented fcfs (first-come-first-serve) clutch, of which they are allowed to create one, or a selective clutch parented by their character. A clutch competition will also be run with a prize of a power of your choice for either a dragonet in your clutch or a current character of yours. _____________________________________ Changes to RP A major lore change will affect rping. Some hints have been dropped… _____________________________________ Aging System Your character will age through your own merit. To age out of being a dragonet, you must submit five completed rp as a dragonet to the age tracker, 10 more to age out of adolescence, and 35 cumulative rps to become an elderly dragon. With 45 rps to die a natural death and become a spirit. This allows you to keep your dragon at an age you are comfortable with, as you will only age if you submit your rps. (NOTE: Submitting RPS to other trackers, such as rank trackers, will not increase your age.) Characters will all be given a letter to signify age, all current characters must be registered under their desired age at the point of this release. _____________________________________ Role Requirements To gain each of the following roles (your character may only possess one), you must complete these assigned tasks and submit them to the rank trackers. Criminal: fight with at least three dragons in rps, attempt to steal something in rp, visit or rp in at least two specific cities and or locations, complete at least one theft quest. [Must be adolescent] Crime Lord: become a criminal, assemble a group of at least ten dragons, kill at least one dragon, fight with any other ranked member (not including the shopkeeper or Criminal) three times.

Have one rp with a dragon of every age (dragonet, adolescent, adult, elder). Have one rp with another shopkeeper at their shop. Have one rp in a specific city or location. [Must be adult] Guard: Complete at least four rps during which you spar or fight another dragon (quests may allow this completion faster). Rp with a criminal. Complete a stolen retrieval quest. [Must be adolescent] Adviser: Complete at least two rps with a dragon of every age class (dragonet, adolescent, adult, elder), rp with at least two other advisers, guards, or generals, complete at least three quests (of your choice). [Must be adolescent] General: Become a guard, rp with at least three other generals, fight with at least two criminals, complete at least two trial quests, and complete any five quests (not including trials).
