First, the stats: Iron: Determines physical damage and weapon accuracy. The higher your iron, the better you are at melee and ranged combat. Mirrors: Determines your awareness and reflexes. The higher your mirrors, the greater the likelihood you'll spot something. Veils: Determines your speed and ability to stay hidden. The higher your veils, the better you are at moving fast and quietly. Pages: Determines intellect and book smarts. The higher your Pages, the more intelligent you are. Hearts: Determines how well you hold up under both physical and mental stress. The higher your hearts, the more you can endure. Correspondence: Determines how familiar you are with the esoteric language known as the Correspondence, and as a result, how skilled you are at casting spells. Next, some stuff about the Info: Name: Self explanatory Gender: Again, self-explanatory. Species: What tribe your character is or if he's a hybrid. Alliance and Rank: Which group he associates most with and his rank in that group (Ex.: Coalition Captain, Church of Storm Acolyte.) Next, let's go over some ground rules. RULE 1: DO NOT KILL WITHOUT PERMISSION Ask to do anything permanent to another character or control another character. If they say no, don't do it. RULE 2: NO PROFANITY No being mean. I understand if you have a mean character but be reasonable. Cussing is allowed, so long as it's censored. (Ex.: What the ****) RULE 3: NO POWER PLAYING This is a fairly well-known rule. Powerplaying/Godmode is just playing excessively overpowered. Just use your judgment and you can avoid this very easily. Also, only use 18 skill points. On a similar note, NO MARY SUES! Or Gary Sues, for that matter. RULE 4: NO ANIMI Animus dragons and animus-touched objects lost all their power over 400 years ago. You cannot play as an animus or have animus touched objects, NO LOOPHOLES. You can have an Inscribed object or knowledge in the Correspondence; see the Magic project for all the details. RULE 5: KNOW THE LORE We have our own universe here, with its own past and characters. The breath of evil, dragonets of destiny, jade mountain academy, and all that other stuff is long over. Go read the lore. Finally, let's give credit where credit is due. Audio: "Halfway to Hell" by Sheppards Original project, Lineart, and Backdrop: AoA Roleplay
