The Mighty FAQ
Here is the all-revealing FAQ! You can reply to this when you have a question, or just PM an admin or post on the Cbox. These are either questions asked in the past or ones we thought up that might benefit you guys. Updated: 11-26-08.
1. Q: If the Animals walk around on back feet and act like people, would they be classified as Anthros?
A: This is an odd topic in that the answer is both yes and no! What most people picture when they think of an anthro is this human-shaped body with perfect human hands, animal feet, and a
head of an animal. They would not look like those muscular and oddly looking anthros you are thinking of. They are still shaped like a normal animal of their species. However, there are some qualities that are more human-like. They can hold guns, open doors, etc.
Example of the animal shapes <a href=Coming> Here (coming soon)</a>
Example of what they DO NOT look like:
www.sheezyart.com/view/1742495/
Similar, yes, but still different. The first looks more realistic. The other looks a little TOO human. The first can drop down on all fours and look like your neighbors dog. Not the other. They will also be about the size of a normal animal of their species. So, rabbit and squirrels will be smaller than a character who is a tiger.
2. Q: How can they hold guns?
A: As mentioned above, they have paws, but they have the ability to grasp things. They have paw-like hands so to speak.
3. Q: What kind of animal can I be?
A: You can use that creative mind of yours and creative basically any animal you like. A list of the animals that are available/already created is found here but feel free to add to it! There are only realistic animals allowed though, so no unicorns, dragons or the like.
4. Q: How many characters can I have?
A: Currently, you can have as many as you can handle. All I ask is not to make multiple characters of one species unless they are going to be brothers or related somehow. (Example: Fox brothers Retho and Xetian) or if they are a couple. Be aware that this rp needs lots of human characters and not ALL of your Humans can be part of the Rebellion.
5. Q: What kind of jobs can we have?
A: There is a list of jobs already posted here. We are always open for more suggestion, so that is not a limiting list! Humans do not have careers because they are slaves, and the humans IN the Rebellion do have "jobs" but they are voluntary.
6. Q: Can they use magic?
A: No. No magic whatsoever. I don't want characters chanting spells and being Harry Potter. If you want Harry Potter go find an rp about him specifically.
7. Q: Can characters kill other characters?
A: Yes. There is a catch though. Say Player 1 wants to kill Player 2's character. They get into a bad fight and are both battered badly. Both Player 1 and Player 2 must come to an agreement that Player 2's character can die. Some people get really attached to a character and don't want to see them go. I can completely understand. Sometimes it is best to have a character killed here and there though or this site will get kind of dull. So, yes, characters can kill other characters, but only with that other characters players permission.
8. Q: What is the setting?
A: It's like a modern day Earth, but with limited technology. Some things are not completely up to date. All places are completely fictional. You can find a map right here.
There are different cities in this country sort of place, and these can be found in the main boards. Reveerie is the Capital, however, the Government is actually on the outskirts of Fangsten which is a very rough and dark-natured city. Doveville is primarily peaceful. Wayward Woods is not a true city, but merely a large forest beside Doveville. Long-Shot is a city that consists of mostly homes. Jucova is a city on the beach, and Mt. Cinder is a mountain.
9. Q: What are Global Characters?
A: They are simply character's that anyone can roleplay at any time as long as the character's personality is followed. Some can be adopted as your own character with permission. Global characters were first made when there were only about three members and there were not enough characters to make any decent posts. I have since kept the idea. All Global Characters use the font color of Lime Green. No other characters can use this color. It is specifically used for Global's to help identify who is Global and who is not.
10. Q: What do the carnivorous Animals eat?
A: This has been brought up frequently, and we decided that it'd be awkward seeing human-like animals eating one another. To make this easier on everyone and ease everybody's minds, all the animals that eat meat are eating an aquatic creature since aquatic creatures are not allowed to be role played. If they eat a hamburger then they are actually eating a fish-based meat with artificial flavoring. If the real world can get away with artificial flavors then so can we.
Also, because the animals are humanized, they can eat things other than what is in their ordinary diet in a normal world.
11. Q: What is the rating of this site and what are the limits?
A: We are rated PG-13. There are a few adult elements to this roleplay, but I have set limitations. Drugs are not allowed at all on here. No exceptions. If mentioned or you do not take my warning I will give out a little ban. Sexual references are allowed. However, we don't need to know the details. If something happens, like a rape, which has happened to a character already, we don't go into the occurrence. The actual incident is forbidden to be roleplayed out, and if you are found breaking this rule, you will be banned instantly! The ban won't be permanent, however. It can be noted, subtly, and that is just about it. If you and another member want to make it detailed, do it through the Personal Messages.
Now, one thing that I really don't mind is alcoholics. I mind them, but do what you wish. If your character's liver fails...it's not my problem. Smoking a cigar is allowed, but again...if your character's lungs fail...not my problem. PM an Admin if any of these rules are broken, or if you have a question!
12. Q: I just joined, when and where can I post?
A: You need a character to Roleplay with, so we suggest creating one first. Once accepted (which typically happens in less than 24 hours, more often a couple hours), you are free to post just about anywhere you wish. Characters that are not members of the Rebellion cannot, however, post at the Rebellion Post. Note that Human character do not need to be sold. By that I mean, if a human character is created, the player of that character and a player of a Captor can arrange it so the human was already owned by said Captor.
Of course, as always, if you have questions, please ask.
13. Q: I just joined and need a captor. Can I make one or are there any that are already made?
A: You may create one, post a thread in the Mini-plot area specifying what you're looking for, or ask specific people if they would be willing to have their Captor own your human. You can ask an admin for more information on current captors or look here.
14. Q: Where do I post the description of my house?
A: See this thread for the instructions.
15. Q: I joined and nobody replies to my posts. Why is nobody replying?
A: Patience is a virtue.
I'm joking, but it does sometimes take some time for people to write out a reply. There are probably various reasons why people don't reply, and we are all, as a site, trying to avoid having non-replied-to posts. Just contact someone on the Cbox or something. Having a little plot or plan for the post always motivates people!
You can also use the "Threads needing attention" thread located here.
16. Q: Can I get help honing my RPing skills?
A: Indeed! There are a couple ways we can help you out if you ask. There's a board called "The Classroom", and basically you can post in there for advice or pointers to improving your RPing skills. You also can PM somebody and have a more privately "tutored" sort of thing. It's up to you.
17. Q: How many accounts are we allowed to have?
A: Only one account is allowed on this site. There are sites that do that "one character per account", but it makes a site seem larger than it actually is. Just one account please, with as many characters as you can actively handle.
18. Q: Would it be alright if I had more than one type of animal live in the same house together?
A: Sure! While we don't allow animals of different species {say, cow and dog} to become married/mates or anything, friends of different species can live in the same house.
19. Q: Do the animals or humans on this Roleplay have any ordered religion?
A: While a couple of us would like to have a main religion on here, we decided that for the harmony of the site and those on it, we would leave the religion alone. Some characters have a special interest in stars and planets and such, which is completely fine. Myths and old wives tales and the like are also floating around... the presence of an ordered religion, however, is non-existant.
20. Q: Is it plausible for me to suggest a bunch of ideas that have been running around in my mind?
A: Absolutley! We're always open for ideas on how to improve the activity and quality of the roleplay, so yes.. fell free to suggest
Note- If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask on the C-box or to PM an Admin! -
