Spren of Kindness Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 1 minute ago, ZincAboutIt said: Mathiau is right, you can effectively make your character as self-insert as you'd like, but they do need their own name and backstory. In this RP you generally roleplay as a character in the third person, not as yourself. So, feel free to base your character on yourself, but they do need a 3rd person, somewhat independent identity for the RP itself. Welcome! :] That makes sense. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pinned thread New Members Guide to the Alleyverse is a great resource for getting the lay of the land around here, and has links to character creation threads, basic summarization of what the AV is, etc. Also, feel free to ask any questions here! This current Era (Era 5) is a bit different than usual by design, so if you're confused please speak up and we can help you out! --- Just a reminder that the Alleyverse Characters thread should only be used for character submission and mod approval! If you have any more questions about the Alleyverse in general, please mention them here @Spren of Kindness and we can assist you.

You can go hit edit beneath your post, and you should be able to either put your tags at the top or the bottom of the text that's already there. Note that if the Shard forces them inside your spoiler, they don't work, tags don't work in spoilers I found recently.

+Sorana Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Hello everybody, based on a discord discussion about a week ago we'd like to adress the whole topic character advancement. As you might have noticed that part is completely missing in the index so far, which is mostly because we as a community haven't come up with a fair way that doesn't lead to hours of more work for the mods so far. Still we'd like to explain how our current system works. Let's say you play a Knight Radiant and want to speak your next oath. In that case you contact a mod, tell them what you plan to do and we'll approve it (or not). Basically what we're looking for is character development, that happened over some time, so please don't expect to speak an oath every single month. Our current idea is, that at the end of each Era, when you resubmit your character sheet for the next list of characters, you have the possibility to add some advancement to their sheet. We don't want to grant everybody a fixed number of points, as we would prefer to see characters grow and evolve based on what they did in rp. We can only ask you to keep it logical, and if neccessary will decline an advancement that feels out of place. We will try this out with the transition from Era 5 to Era 6 (whenever that happens) and see if the amount of work it creates is manageable for us or not. This also leads to something else: due to advancement your character will at one point end up over the cap limit. It's possible, but in that case we'd like to ask you to write your character accordingly. In the end, should it come to a confrontation make sure you give the other player a fair chance to win, or don't solve a plot single handedly. Another possibility to write a 'stronger than usual' character is by using the OP character sheet. As there haven't been any submissions in a while, maybe here a short explanation. When you fill out that sheet you'll notice, that there are additional fields, like what your character can add to the story. Again, please keep in mind, that we'd like for everybody to be able to contribute to a plot or a fight, so keep that in mind while creating an OP character. Once you are done with that sheet, you submit it in the character thread. This time, we mods won't decide wether you can play the character or not, but the community will. We'll create a vote and allow some time for people to vote or ask questions in the character discussion thread. If they approve, then you can start with your character, just as you would with every other one. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask them! In general we would like to hear some feedback and your thoughts on the topic, so please let us know if you think that it can work or not.

ShrubSeph Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 How does stormlight work in the alleyverse? Is there a highstorm like on roshar, or something else? Also, similar question, how does the cognitive realm appear? If it is different than shadesmar, that will change how the surges of Transfusion and Transportation work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
