The Rules:
Basics-
1. Be courteous to others!!!!
Please be respectful to all other players on the site, and lets all move back to kindergarten and remember the Golden Rule.
2. Always write in-character posts in the third person.
That means absolutely no first person (unless your character is thinking or speaking, then designate that by quotes, bold or italicized text).
3. No God-Moding or Power-Playing!
It’s annoying and difficult to develop a plot, so just don’t do it. (God-Moding = writing for others’ characters in your own posts, Power-Playing= giving your character completely unrealistic actions in posts)
4. Always keep the story in mind!
Please be sure to remember that for a good plot to come around, bad things will happen to characters. It might be yours. Please consider how your character would best suit the plot, and play it that way, rather than having everything as butterflies and hand-holding 24/7.
5. Keep spamming to the General board!
Character Creation-
1. Create a new account for every character you make.
2. Post your Out of Character name either in your signature or the personal text portion of your mini profile, so people can keep track of who plays what
3. Post in the Character Creation board when requesting any new characters
4. Be sure to include all required information about your character
5. Please try to make your characters original. It’s just aggravating to have a million of the exact same person to post with.
6. Do not post with your new character unless a moderator has accepted it.
7. Please read the character guidelines at the beginning of the character creation board, and create your post accordingly.

8. In each account you create, don't put male or female accordingly to your character but instead to YOUR gender. That way we don't get confused as to the gender of the person behind the character and anyone can go and look at the gender posted in the character's profile.
Money-
1. Ara Alnair currency is called fiin.
2. You get five fiin for every post, and 10 fiin per every Karma point.
3. You can trade, buy, and sell with whoever you want, but to transfer money, you must ask an admin to do it for you.
4. You can win money in contests and campaigns, or for special events.
5. Thievery is okay, but the person playing the thief must make a plausible way to do it, and must post with his/her victim. The thief will not always succeed; the victim can figure it out and whatnot. It is all in the posts, whatever works best for the plot works best. Remember the fourth basic rule!
6. Your character can become a merchant or peddler or some other kind of seller, but talk to an admin first. We may supply you with some money and some goods, and we may not, depending on the situation. If we don’t, you will have to acquire the goods yourself, but do it in a plausible way.
Property-
1. When you have enough money you can buy a category, a board or a sub-board. A category costs 4,000 fiin, a board costs 1,500 fiin, and a sub-board costs 700 fiin.
2. You can make your new property pretty much whatever you want it to be (house, inn, natural area, etc…) but it must be approved by an admin so we can create it for you.
3. If you are buying a category, you must have the money, and you must discover it. Whether it is one of your characters that does it or somebody else’s character that does it in your name, there must be a thread documenting the discovery of the new landmass or area.
Pets-
1. You can buy pets when you have a high enough ranking and enough money.
2. Your pets are just regular animals unless they are blessed with the gift of intelligence by an immortal.
3. You can buy pets from the Rancher once you reach the appropriate rank and have the fiin to make the purchase, or you can buy pets from merchants. Merchants sell at a higher price but you don't have to be a specific rank. Also, merchants do not sell all the animals that the Rancher does.

4. For a list of creatures that the Rancher sells, look at the Bestiary

Gifts-
1. You can receive gifts from players who have reached the immortal rank, or from the Master account, who has always been immortal.
2. Immortals will not tell you how to receive a gift, so don't ask
3. Gifts can be anything from wings, to a fortune in fiins, to intelligence for your pet(s), to the ability to breath underwater. There are many possibilities.
If you have any problem with the rules, suggestions for modification, or found a spelling error, please post below or pm a staff member.
