BEFORE YOU REGISTER;
First, I'd like to take this chance to welcome you to Renascence - or Renzie for short. If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions for Ren, you can post in the Feedback board. It's not suggested you ask serious/long answer questions in the c-box, as your messages may not be noticed.
Like any other role-play, Renzie has a set of rules. Alongside the rules, you should check out our plot summary. Still like what you see? Read on!
CHARACTER CREATION;
To start, you'll definitely need a basic character idea. Since Renascence is APC, you'll need to make a new account for each character you create, and change the display name to your character's name/alias. Copy our form into your favourite word processor and start filling it in. It might look a little scary, but most of it is optional and there are no length requirements, so just write what you're comfortable with, or what you have planned at the moment.
To start, Renascence has five different races. Three of these races are also affected by that evil little reincarnation curse.
- Humans - the dominant population, formerly slaves
- Hybrids - the product of a female human and a male Shariya
- Shariya - exiled populations in the desert, former dominant race
- Derketo - a type of mermaid living in the western ocean
- Dragons - big, winged, reptilian. what more can you ask for?
Since no-one really wants to see Billy-bob the elf running around, here are some fantastic name resources I've found. Try to stick to the more pronounceable fantasy names, please.
Having trouble with your history? Check out the history of Arlezar to see what major events may have affected your character. We also have a great informational thread that will help you understand the basic society and life your character may have been exposed to here. To live this day, and every other, your character will most likely need a source of income - check out our list of suggested occupations for some ideas.
Creating a mage? You'll need to read this thread. If you'd like to take our option of having randomized magical ability and strength, then just PM a staff member when the rest of your profile is finished, and we'll sort it out for you.
In the end, if your character isn't a crazy powerful, god-moding mage with force-like powers, you're likely to be accepted. You'll never be outright declined, since staff will always attempt to help you fix any mistakes that might have been made.
AFTER ACCEPTANCE;
Hooray, your first character has been accepted! Now you can move on to the really fun stuff, like plotting and role-playing with your sparkly new character. The main plot board is located here, and to supplement that we have an in-character messenger service where you can send letters and gossip about who farted at the prince's table last week. Looking for some organisation? Try talking to the woodsman about keeping tabs on your threads and other character content. In addition, if you've got some family or friends in mind for your character, you can request them in the wanted board.
We've realised Arlezar is such a big world, so there's a geography topic detailing most of the larger cities and popular destinations throughout the five Princedoms. We also have a bestiary that you can have a look through to add some local sounds (or flavour) to your posts. If you're wanting to get involved with the main plot factions, check out this thread.
Otherwise, the possibilities are endless - why not head to Aurar for a spot of fishing, or join a bar fight with a dragon hunter in Astira. Strapped for cash? Why not sell a few thieves to the slavers in Liath or simply take their heads to the nearest reeve for a reward*.
* 55% of the carcass is required to claim a reward. Not claimable on public holidays, the Prince's birthday or the rest day. |
