HOW
TO START ROLEPLAYING AT INFUSCO
Before you post
anywhere, you need a character. Use the Character Sheet
[link]
to guide you for the kind of information we are after. Be specific.
Only the species available in our Species Charts [link]
are allowed, so if you can't find a sheet on Elves, Elves are not
allowed. Please note that Vampires, Werewolves and so forth have
very specific guidelines as to how they should
be played. For instance, in Infusco you will not find a vampire
who can go walking around outside in daylight without consequence.
Post your character in the Pending Characters [link]
forum – a new character has to be approved by Admins or Moderators
before you can begin roleplaying. When this has been done, you will
receive a message, and then you can roleplay with that character.
You might be asked to make changes or supply more information. Remember,
a character sheet only has to be written once so feel free to give
lots of information and detail. Images are welcome but we do not
rely on them.
Before you post
in a forum, we expect you to read the full description for that
forum if it has one.
If you are joining a roleplay, you should interact with the other
characters in your first post or at least supply a prompt.
If you are starting a new roleplay, you must advertise your roleplay
start in the New Roleplays [link]
section so other members can find you. Make sure you put a link
to your roleplay in that area. If you do not know how to post a
link, click
here.
If you have
a question, post it in the Help Files and Suggestions

forum.
KNOW THE SETTING AND CITY HISTORY
The Nameless City does have a name, it’s just that we don’t
name it. It could be any large city in the United States. It has
around five million people in its population, roughly 3500 of which
are supernatural, so human beings are dominant in number.
Vampires, demons,
lycans, fae and other critters that are not human, hide themselves
away from those they live among. They do not reveal themselves to
humankind because that would account for all sorts of problems,
especially of a scientific 'research' kind, so it's better that
humans remain ignorant. Very few humans knew of the existence of
these creatures, and wouldn’t tell anyone for fear of being
disbelieved or of betraying their loyalty to a ‘superior race’.
There are humans who think humankind is scum, too, and worship other
species.
Halwyn and Lazarus,
two vampires who were after power, changed all that. A mere two
years ago, an apocalypse began as creatures banded together and
revealed themselves, sick of being ‘oppressed’ and ‘hiding’
when they were ‘superior’. It became an anarchy, for
the two vampires who began it had no way of controlling it.
This carried
on for a year before a new power came into town – a leader
(Halen) and his political group (known as the Oligarchy (pronounced
like Monarchy), put things back to the way they have been. With
help from other contacts, the city is back to normal, and the madness
was blamed on a bad leak from a chemical factory, causing mass hysteria
and hallucinations.
Or so that is
what most of the city believe, about 95% of it. Of the remaining
5%, those people know the truth or suspect it, and even fewer say
it out loud, for fear of being locked up in an asylum. A lot of
the 5% are those that are loyal to the vampires and creatures that
once used to openly run the city.
Now they once
again control the city without humans being aware, though Lazarus
once again took over as leader of the city, dethroning Halen. He
hasn't yet changed any of the rules, but there is potential for
trouble ahead.
Because of the
Oligarchy's presence, the supernatural have their rules too, or
else they face punishment.
1) A supernatural
creature must not reveal themselves to a human in any way, shape
or form.
2) If a supernatural
wishes to keep a human ‘pet’, then they must gain council
approval first.
3) If a vampire
wishes to make a fledgling, or a werewolf wants to pass on their
blood curse to another, then they must gain council approval first.
4) If a supernatural
directly goes against the wishes of the council, they will have
to face the council’s punishment.
5) At this point
in time, a supernatural is allowed to kill a human without explanation
There is also a Setting [link]
description in Infusco, that covers these points and a few others.
There is a Chambers
of the Oligarchy forum [link]
which shows which members have characters that wield power with
the Oligarchy. Only these members can use henchmen NPC's to 'godmode'
your character to stand before the council and face any potential
sentencing.
CHARACTERS
This site is
dedicated to character development and interactions.
Infusco is a
timeline environment. This means you have to be consistent to the
timeline. If your character gets wounded in a roleplay with somebody,
then the next roleplay you start your character should be wounded
or healing from the wound.
Even though
we have one timeline, we don't mind if you play the same character
in two different places at once, as long as you realise one RP takes
place the next day/night to the other. This is called a liquid
timeline. Keep in mind this might be difficult for you
if one roleplay races ahead. (We encourage members who want to roleplay
more than one storyline at a time, to make more than one character).
Put some work
into your character descriptions. Histories do not have to be revealed
but personality does. There are two standard character sheets for
your use. One to fill out for characters who have a most interesting
background that you feel needs to be told, and another which is
physical appearance only (so when another RPer reads your character
sheet, it is as though they are 'looking' at your character).
If you want
to play a powerful demon, then feel free, but even powerful demons
have limitations. Everybody has a weakness or a flaw. These flaws
are fun to play as well. Put a little thought into the limitations
of your character. Don’t just say: “Allergic to chocolate”
because that isn’t a flaw they face everyday. Make their flaw
something to do with their personality.
Above all else,
be consistent! Don’t make a demure character and then make
them the life of the party just because you want a little action.
Think about what you want to play, and build a character to suit.
There is no
limit on how many characters each role player may have, but inactive
characters will be retired/deleted by Admin.
Keep in mind
that not every character is going to adore your character. Do not
take it personally. Don't wail to Admin that such and such doesn't
like you because their character broke up with yours. It would be
boring if everyone liked your character. |
