Daear RP

The trial run of Daear_RP will start on May 15th. The trial will last one to two months depending on how it goes.

There are several ways you can introduce your character.

♣ New arrival - The portals will bring characters to the area around the temple. There is a farm, lots of forest and a small town. The people characters are likely to run into will direct them to the temple.

There is a temporary shelter there for people from other worlds. Only the basics are provided. Shared bathrooms, bland food, uncomfortable small beds. If they want more than that they have to pay for it.

♣ Been there a while - They've been around so they pretty much know what's going on. If you want to go with this option you have to tell a little bit about what they've been doing on Daear so far.

Did they get a job? Did they go explore? Have they just been existing on the little that is provided for free? Something else entirely?

♣ Native - Can be an AU of a canon character or an Original Character. They can be from the small town or elsewhere. If elsewhere you can just make up a short description and general location of a place for the purpose of the trial. They'll also need a reason to be near the temple at first because there aren't any other places established yet.

I recomend you track the community or add it to your watch list so you'll get additional details when they are posted.

♣ The setting?

Daear is a fantasy/sci fi world that your character has been brought to by a random portal of some kind.

Only a small area around a temple is detailed at first. The rest of the world is only roughly defined and is meant to be filled in by the players as their characters explore.

All details on the setting are found in the setting post.

♣ Plot?

Daear RP is focused on character interaction and exploration of the world.

Plot is mostly left to the players. If you don't come up with things for your character to do there isn't much that will happen. Please get Mod approval for anything major that may effect everyone.

There may also be a very slow background plot involving a group of people capable of making portals to other worlds and an imbalance with an unknown cause.

♣ Communications?
There are several ways to communicate with other characters when not face-to-face.

Letters - Send a letter. There is a small post office in town.

Bulletin board - Notices are posted along with wanted posters and job offers.

Computers - At first your character will not have a computer that is compatible with the world's networks. They may get one from a merchant who comes through occasionally or use the ones found in the library. For a small fee they can also have any devices they have upgraded to be able to connect.

♣ How do I add to the setting?

Submit a description and placement of an area to the mods for approval.

Make sure your area matches the climate and terrain of the chosen location. Also match the type of society in the area if there is one detailed.

Don't try to put a forest in the middle of a desert or a jungle in the arctic.

Don't put a tribe in the middle of an area with big cities. Etc.

♣ What kinds of characters can I play here?

Canon - just about anything except crack muses or game breakers. Game breaker = characters capable of destroying a world by their own power.

Original characters - can be from an original or canon universe. If from a canon universe they may not have pre-game connections to canon characters. No sons/daughters/brothers/sisters/mothers/fathers/etc.

You may also create a character that is Native to Daear.

Alternate universe - Canon AUs and player created AUs of canon characters are allowed.
You may also make an AU that is native to Daear.

♣ Can there be multiple versions of a character?

Yes. Up to two versions of a character.

♣ Can my character go home?

There are two ways for a character to go home.

The World Train will stop by the temple once a year to pick up characters that wish to return home. It is a rather small train, the trip takes a year and tickets are expensive.

Living near the temple are a group of people said to be able to create portals to other worlds. Most of them will not do this for free, it is a very rare ability, the portals are not safe and those that have the ability are too old to muster the energy, too young to be able to do it with any kind of accuracy or have gone missing.

♣ What happens if a character dies in-game?

They can be brought back to life up to three times. Someone will have to be willing to go on a quest to ask the world's death god to bring them back.

This can be a loved one, a compulsive hero or a mercenary contacted through someone capable of talking to the dead. Or whatever else you can think of. It does not have to be a player character.

Your characters can also hang around as a ghost until someone brings them back to life.
