  1. -Character Creation-

     

     

    In City of the Dead, you may have a max of six characters. Some species and masks and powers are strictly off limits, although they can be given as gifts (do not ask for them).

    -Outlawed Kanohi: The Ignika, Vahi, Sanok, Komau, Mohtrek, Clairvoyance, Mask of Light and Shadow, Rua, Aki, Olmak, Possibilities, all Nuva masks, Creation, Alternate Futures, and Adaptation are not allowed. Official staff characters (Not the private characters of staff members) may have one, and one may be given as a reward to a player or character. Do not ask for one.

    -Prohibited species: Makuta, Botar’s species, Agori, Glatorian and all other non MU species, Great Beings, Axonn’s species, Brutaka’s species, Dweller’s species, The Shadowed One’s species, and Vanisher’s species are all offlimits.

    -Mental blocks are outlawed. No mental blocks are allowed, although a character may be able to fend off some forms of telepathy due to telepathy of their own, a strong intellect, etc.

    -Limited Kanohi: The masks of light and shadow, as well as any other elemental masks are allowed, but they may only have control over an element (no peace/rage etc) and the power level of the masks cannot be greater than the mask of gravity. Lastly, these masks cannot create toa.

     

    Name: No canon or nonsense names (examples, Tahu, and to fheu4858).

    Gender: Male female, unknown, or none.

    Species: See prohibited species. All characters must have a species. Custom species are allowed. Also remember the strict species division in most factions. A vortixx character in the Stelt faction or suchlike will be disapproved.

    Faction: Please state your faction here. If non affiliated, simply put down 'neutral'.

    Kanohi: List your character's kanohi here, if he/she has one. Custom kanohi are allowed.

    Element: Custom elements are not allowed. If your character is a toa, or another element defined species, list your character's element here.

    Appearance: Give a description or picture of your character.

    Powers: If your character has any powers, put them here.

    Abilities: A good swordsman? Archer? Athlete? Basically, what are the physical abilities of your character.

    Weapons: List whatever weapons your character has, and please keep within reason. No weapons that give you full control over an element, or something along the lines of an ULTRA COOL HAMMER OF DOOM.

    Other Equipment: Whatever other equipment (special armor etc) your character possesses, put it here.

    Personality: How does your character act? What's he'she like? Put it here.

    History: Write a brief history of your character.

    (Optional) Notes: Put down whatever else about your character that you'd like to.

     

     

     

    -Rules-

     

     

    -Absolutely no autododging, autohitting, or other forms of god moding.

    -Bunnying is illegal. No controlling other peoples’ characters without their permission.

    -Use IC for In Character portions of the post, and OOC for out of character portions. Do not post OOC only posts in the role playing topic! The discussion topic is made for them. Making an OOC only post will result in a warning, and if repeated enough, banning.

    -Please, use good grammar, and make your OOC and IC posts understandable. Bad grammar might not look bad to you, but it does for others.

    -Staff controlled characters are staff controlled characters, not NPCs. Do not control them without permission of the GMs.

    -NPCs are not target dummies. Just because they’re not PCs doesn’t make them a lower life form.

    -Your characters cannot know your enemies plans in an instant, or know the exact power etc of an opponent unless they are told IC, or find out IC. Your character is not all knowing, although you may know something from reading another IC post not related to your character, or reading an OOC post or whatever.

    -Please act civil. Do not insult, degrade, etc other players.

    -Do not play to win. The purpose of an RPG is to have fun, and interact. Any character, no matter how powerful, can be defeated. Going into an RPG with only the specific intent to get ahead and win will get you nothing but failure and a lot of annoyed people.

    -Respect staff rulings. If you have a problem with a staff’s ruling, take it up via PM with either that staff member or another. Do not disregard the ruling, start a temper tantrum over it, etc.

    -When you are dead, you are dead. Your soul cannot take over another body. Bam, it's over, your character's soul is in the next world and whatnot. Reincarnation is also outlawed.

    -There are times when death is unavoidable. Get used to it, your character is no more powerful than an NPC, you can die. It you're surrounded by a dozen visorak, and you have a broken leg and no powers, you're going to die. The meter is this: When staying alive falls under auto-dodging/invulnerability, your character dies.

     

     

    -Warnings-

     

     

    5th degree warning

    A simple warning, whether in the discussion topic, OOC portion of a post, or PM. Nothing serious, just correct whatever you did wrong and don’t do it again.

     

    4th degree warning

    A more serious warning, and one of your characters is temporarily incapacitated. Stop breaking the rules.

     

    3rd degree warning

    Okay, you’re getting on our verse. One character is stripped of all weapons and masks and power, and thrown into the center of Onu Metru, aka executed, and all other characters are unusable for a week.

     

    2nd degree warning

    This is getting old already. All your characters are stripped of equipment and powers and thrown into the center of Onu Metru, aka executed. This is your last warning.

     

    1st degree warning

    You are banned. All characters are killed, and you are no longer allowed to play. Please get out.

  2. I'm iffy about it. First I considered making a bionicle RPG of it. Threw that away. mainly due to armor (built in) and the difference in strengths of different species, as well as powers.

    It would be a CoT RPG, definitely. But in order for me to progress from wishful thinking, I'd definitely need some (preferably experienced) people helping me with creation and running of it.

     

    EW, I think I'll take you up on your offer. After, that is, I unearth my long unused AIM account. :P

  3. My family got our first house on a Friday the 13th, so I've never been scared of it. All the so called 'bad luck' people claim is pure coincidence.

     

    Ddude: I hear that it got started on October, Friday the 13th, 1307, when 5,000 knights Templar were imprisoned and tortured by Philip the fifth, king of France.

  4. Those authors who you speak of deserve to be hanged, or roasted alive. Or something.

     

    The present tense, first person narrative was hard to get used to, but I find now that it provides an excellent experience of what was happening.

     

    And yeah, I'm too impatient to wait for it to come in the library. :P

  5. Mhm...

     

    I don't think it makes no sense. But I will agree: it sounds more sensible in the book.

     

    And actually, the funny thing is that although the movie may have not made an attempt to show the reasoning for Katniss caring for Rue, It was one of the first things that popped into my head when watching it.

  6. A: I disagree. No matter how much you realize people are going to die, when a person who is close to you does die, it still hurts. You'd have to be totally unemotional not to be mournful.

    B: I find them scarier the way they were in the movie, but that's just my fear and hatred of massive dogs.

     

    I still need to read the books though. :P

  7. I think the problem here is a confusing of time itself with abnormal changing. If a person prematurely ages to the point that they look like 80 when they're 40, they're still 40, no matter what their accidents (material properties) look like. The same principle also applies to clocks, and to persons. Just because this high speed makes the accidents of a thing speed up or slow down does not mean that time itself slows down or speeds up for a person.

     

    Yes, if you could not tell, I firmly hold that time is universal, and cannot be altered for a particular person. :P

  8. I don't support killing a bionicle focus. I much prefer Bionicle story to HF, honestly, and HFRPGs would stink, to put it bluntly. I think it is right and just to still have such bionicle focus, while greater focusing at the same time on lego itself. I fully support keeping bionicle RPGs as their own forum, and making set discussion and suchlike lego, not just Bionicle.

     

    It's all a matter of essential balance that while not keeping us in the past does not wall the past off from us.
