General role playing rules / styles.

A word on being evil. You may choose to be evil, and join the bad forces, but this requires lots of gm interaction and approval. If the gm ok's it, you may choose to join the main evil person/'s side, or any of the other evils that the gm has created. Whenever the main party (the good guys) encounter a mob to fight, the evil characters (player characters) will also encounter a mob. Thus neither side will ever be much stronger than the other. Note, that being evil is a much harder route, because the people you will serve, may kill you for failing to perform etc.. (they are evil) If you would like to branch off on your own, as an enemy you may do that also (but ONLY with gm approval.) Again when the good guys fight a battle, the evil guys will also get a battle to fight, thus ensuring that all players have a similar level, and no one is overpowered. It will be tough to fight off mobs of enemies solo, or even with a pal, but it is possible. Also you may not ever recruit minions, or have minions that will fight for, or with you NO MATTER WHAT. You can if the gm allows it have underlings that serve you, but they cannot ever fight for or with you. (exception here is if the gm ok's your minions killing an npc.) If you would like a companion to fight along side you, you need to get another player character to follow you to the dark side. Remember death is final in this game. No going back. (Do NOT piss off the wrong people...)

On the various races. Races do not have any abilities not listed in the races section of the site. No psychic abilities other than those listed etc. Special places. Sihde -- Sihde all originate in faery. Faery is a place where all sihde are connected as one soul. There they have amazing powers and abilities. But once they break away from faery, and choose to live on the planet, they lose all of those abilities, and most of the link. However any sihde that meats another will know it instantly. No player character can live in faery. They obviously are earth bound now. However they may visit faery. They will not be linked as before, and their old powers will be weaker, but they will not be shunned. The sihde love one another regardless of anything. Long ago the sihde fought a horribly bloody civil war, and almost destroyed their entire race. It seemed as if the war would go on forever, until one day a powerful guardian appeared. This guardians name was Myrielle, and her message was a message of peace and brotherhood. After years of trying to unite the sihde, myrielle was assassinated. Her remaining followers, in their horror, gathered together to for a powerful spell, removing all hate from the sihde for each other. This spell was so powerful that to this day, a sihde would rather die than kill another sihde. However, if a sihde ever turns to evil that bond is broken, and other sihde will kill him / her with a vengeance unlike any other. Demons-- Demons live in the nether. Some call it the underworld (though its truly another dimension.) Demons do not concern themselves with the lives of men. They could care less about any other races, other than guardians, whom of which they have been battling for ages unknown. Demons for the most part are too concerned with the goings on in the nether , and thus have very little knowledge of any other races. (except guardians of course.) Demons live life a little differently than others do. Demons do not see evil, or good. They only see power. They struggle constantly in the nether to gain that power. Commonly the slaugh, any non demons / guardians, see demons as evil, but thats mostly because demons kill ruthlessly when they leave their home land. Demons see any non immortal race as being weak, and thus not disserving of life. (It is the way of the nether.) Any demon that leaves the nether loses all the power he / she once had as well as his / her link with other demons. They become like any other race. Guardians. -- Guardians reside in Aurora. Though some call it the light, because it is said to be too bright for mortals to handle. Guardians hold a great love for all other races, except for demons. Many years back, in very ancient times, a great guardian named Harmonn, formed the order of angels. This orders duty was to go to the other races, and aide them, help them to be great, or just help them to survive. The order originally helped all types of people, but soon they realized that not only demons held great evil. At that time some guardians decided to leave Aurora, and try to persuade the evil ones to turn to good. The majority of these guardians turned evil, and even mated with the other races. The remaining guardians, decided to stay out of the other races live for good. But then came Myrielle, and her great deed she did for the sihde. After seeing how gallantly myrielle was, and how her life and her work had truly changed the sihde, they decided to begin helping the other races again. Though the order of the angels is long dead, guardians love, and bravery will go on forever.

The planet this game takes place on is named Auquaaria. It is not earth, and thus does not have to adhere to any earth related things. Witches. Witches are the oldest known race on this planet. They have lived on this planet from the very beginning. Even before the eartheners came. Some say witches are so powerful because they came from this planet, and thus are tuned in to it from birth. They say the planet itself gave them their abilities. Witches do not all come from one source, or one way of believing, instead they come from all over the planet, with many varying beliefs. Some are at war with others, some form covens, or guilds, or even governments. Witches vary so much that its hard to give much of a story on them as a whole. But what can be said is this. Witches accepted the new races with love in their hearts, and at first that love was enough to cause peace in the lands, but soon the human ways of war / greed / and hatred began to show their ugly heads. Some thousands of years ago, witches began to be persecuted, and even killed because of how different they were. This lead to an all out witch war, during this war other human races that have been hidden in shadow began to reveal themselves to the humans. These races mostly all sided with the witches, because the witches were accepting of them, and even respected them. When the war finally ended humans were the minority again, and other races ruled the planet. To this day humankind fears all other races, but with that fear comes respect and humility. With the guidance of the witches the other races learned to be fair leaders, and thus the planet has thrived.

A note on Aquaaria :: Their are no earth based religions, other than paganism, which is simply believing in the planet and its inhabitants as having souls and spirits. Its pretty much nature worship, and thus is native to this planet anyway. Probably all planets when you think about it. All religions on this planet are unique to this planet all gods / godesses, deities etc, (other than the dark lady and the founders,) are native to this planet. Their is no heaven or hell, but their are other paradises in various different religions. All religions that preach in an ultimate punishment for people who dont follow that religion, are outlawed and decimated before they have a chance to take root. The people of this planet hate any fear based religions, that try to scare you into believing in them. Side note :: Buddhism does exist here, but all buddhas are based on this planet. Humans, werewolfs, vampires, slayers. Human beings on the planet earth finally learned how to travel the speed of light. But this amazing accomplishment was overshadowed by the biggest war the earth has ever seen. The holy world war. The war was separated into 3 sides. The peaceful religions hinduism, buddhism, peaceful christians, paganism, wiccan, etc.. The Warmonger religions, Christian zealots, etc.. And then those who hate chritianity, and certain other religions Muslims, satanists etc.. Even within these factions they were divided, but in the end the christian zealots began to dominate the earth with their heartless slaughter of any non christians. They murdered men women and babies, ruthlessly and without a shred of mercy. With this tragedy the peace loving religions had had enough, so they put all of their well and able people into a space vessel, and launched them toward the nearest planet believed to have life. Once they arrived on that planet they realized that it was devoid of life. So they aimed to the east and and shot off full throttle. After years of traveling in a sleep stasis, they arrived at what appeared to be a galaxy full of life. Unfortunately they only had enough fuel to make it to the nearest planet. But they were in luck, this planet was teeming with life. The witches gladly welcomed the humans, and together they lived a long and prosperous period of peace, but lurking in the shadows there existed something more that cam along with the humans. Werewolves, vampires, and those who hunted them... slayers.

a Side note on the above post. Do not take offense, this is an alternate reality, and it in no way reflects the earth in its current state. Some may be angry that I listed christian zealots as a war monger religion, but throughout history christian zealots have been the most blood thirsty religion of them all. In the name of their god many men women and babies have died, been raped, and even tortured. Is only logical that I chose them as the leaders of the war monger faction. Muslims have also cause a lot of death and destruction, but they would never fight along side christians, so they had to join the third faction. However many christians are peace loving and hate the zealots who give the religion a bad name. These christians are among the peaceful faction, and traveled to Aquaaria with the rest.

Living vamps. If a pure living vamp dies it has a 100% chance to become an undead vamp. If a half breed living vamp dies, it will have a 50% chance to become an undead vamp, but it will only have the vamp skills it already had, and their other race will be gone forever.

On demons fear form. Body size = fear form size. The bigger your char is the bigger your fear form is. (simply cosmetic.)

The gm. The gm holds ultimate power in his / her world. And if anyone ever goes against the gm, or does something the gm said not to do, they can and will be either A. killed B. post deleted and a pm warning C. anything the gm sees fit. Character deaths. Deaths always have been, and always will be permanent in this game. As it is stated in the main page, if you are ko'ed with a critical you will die. Characters that need special weapons to kill them will need to be ko'ed with a crit to end them with the special weapon needed. Characters who need certain circumstances to be killed, must be ko'ed first, and then the enemy has to perform a killing blow as described in each races descriptions on the main site, and land a critical, otherwise fail to kill them. This game is only in its alpha stage and any and all rules can be changed without notice at any time to fit the creators desires. Also just to reiterate what drak has already stated, all character sheets must be finalized by 5 am central time on the 12th (tomorrow) after that time no other characters may join the role playing. Once the game goes into beta stage we will allow certain people to run their own game using the rules set. But until then this is the only one allowed to be ran.

So they aimed to the east and and shot off full throttle. Which way is east in space? Right now we have up, down, east, north, west, south correct? Well with a high tech digital compass the same thing happens in space, and underwater. Otherwise our subs would never be able to navigate. In space I suppose they may have some technical terminology, but I think I've broken it down enough to be grasped right? I hope that explains it raccool. o:)

side note :: Aquaaria has no paved roads, or highways. We use hover vehicles instead. We do have streets, but they are just pathways cut into the trees, with signs pointing people to where they need to go. We also have gps etc... Even auto drive ;) The reason for this is because the witches love their planet so much that they would never allow it to be covered in a hard shell. They simply used rail cars, cable cars etc, until anti grav was discovered. They never used fuel like on earth because oil doesnt exist on this planet. We went from steam, to hydrogen, to electric, and then on and on until anti grav was discovered. Hydrogen motorbikes were mostly used for transport, with wheels designed not to tear up the horse pathways too badly. Even busy cities are like lush forests, with pathways and parking areas, and walkways etc..

The gm holds ultimate power in his / her world and that is me and you will all >:) muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha mumumumumuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha ha lol :-s :

Demons are NOT evil, they ARE NOT from hell, they ARE NOT immune to fear or pain, or any other emotions. :-s When using a skill YOU MUST announce it to everyone. You can do it with a <> tag system or any other way, as long as we all know you are using it. :-s

Demons are NOT evil, they ARE NOT from hell, they ARE NOT immune to fear or pain, or any other emotions. Demons- humanoid race that are usually evil, and is a witches mortal enemy.

Demons are NOT evil, they ARE NOT from hell, they ARE NOT immune to fear or pain, or any other emotions. Demons- humanoid race that are usually evil, and is a witches mortal enemy. I missed the word perceived. Now please go back and read my description in THIS thread about demons and you will see the pointlessness of your quote ;) Demons-- Demons live in the nether. Some call it the underworld (though its truly another dimension.) Demons do not concern themselves with the lives of men. They could care less about any other races, other than guardians, whom of which they have been battling for ages unknown. Demons for the most part are too concerned with the goings on in the nether , and thus have very little knowledge of any other races. (except guardians of course.) Demons live life a little differently than others do. Demons do not see evil, or good. They only see power. They struggle constantly in the nether to gain that power. Commonly the slaugh, any non demons / guardians, see demons as evil, but thats mostly because demons kill ruthlessly when they leave their home land. Demons see any non immortal race as being weak, and thus not disserving of life. (It is the way of the nether.) Any demon that leaves the nether loses all the power he / she once had as well as his / her link with other demons. They become like any other race. This is the most recent and thus current description of demons. Your quote proves that I missed a word WOOT! People often perceive them as being evil because they do not see killing the weak as a crime, or a wrong thing to do. However, while out of the nether they have obviously had to adjust to the morals of the slaugh (any race other than demon guardian) I assumed people would realize this, but I guess I was wrong. Demons have been living on this planet for at least one trillion years. (How long life has been on this planet.) When a demon makes the choice to leave the nether thus severing their ties to it forever, they do so for a reason. Either they want a new place to try and conquer, or they are tired of the constant wars and politics of the nether. They come here for the purpose of change, and thus adhere to the laws of the slaugh. Although they still see killing as a perfectly normal thing to do, they do not do it unless the law allows them to. This is why most demons take up law enforcement, assassin, or even special agent type lifestyles. The nether is a place where power is everything. Its extremely political, and as a matter of fact more politics takes place than actual fighting. Though the fighting when it does happen is very fierce, and drawn out. The slaugh and even guardians, take demons power hungry ways, and their lack of remorse for killing as being evil. However demons have been this way for time uncounted. How can anyone so young as the slaugh dare to tell the demons what is or isnt evil?? Granted their are other races as old as the slaugh, but even they have questionable practices, so who is to say what evil and good truly are? With peace come boredom, and complacency. Good then becomes a bane instead of a boon. With pure war comes the same thing... Both extremes would lead to a negative life, yet we have both of them. This causes a balance. So then if we need good and bad to be a balanced society, how can anyone say that bad is evil? It is certainly bad as in it hurts people, but if we need it how can it truly be evil? Thus is the philosophy of certain demon sects. Demons hold beauty as a sacred thing. The nether is a wondrous place full of beauty. This beauty is considered to be a sign of power, and thus the demons battle endlessly for control over it. There is peace in the nether on occasion, but it never lasts for too long. But no demon ever dies in the nether. Demon slayer weapons cannot pass the barrier of the nether without disintegrating. Therefore the only real danger, is leaving the nether. The battles usually only end when one side runs low on supplies, or simply is out skilled, by superior fighters. I hope this clears it up for you! :) I will amend my mistake on the main site, thanks for pointing it out WOOT!@
