FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. When can my character come into the role play?
That is entirely up to you. If you want them to already know about what's going on and have been aware for a while or if you want them to just now be discovering their powers, walking through the rift, or becoming an angel/demon... that's all up to you. Feel free to contact other players if you want to establish relationships beforehand.
2. When does my character get his/her journal? How does that work?
When your character walks through the rift, becomes an angel/demon, or discovers their power for the first time, an appropriate journal will appear beside them after they've slept that first night.
They can, also, comment on the entries that they read. The comments will appear under the entry with their name next to it.
3. What happens if someone gets their hands on another person's journal?
They can write in it and say whatever they'd like. For all intents and purposes, it will appear in everyone else's journal under the name of who own's the journal, not who writes in it.
4. What does the term [Locked to...] mean when used in entries?
It means that only the characters that the entry is locked to can read that entry in their own journals. The entry simply won't appear in anyone else's. The lock can be as specific as someone's name and as general as 'people who like poetry' or 'people in law enforcement'.
5. If I want to use a fandom character, can I choose where I bring them in at?
Yes, if you choose a fandom character, you can bring them in from anywhere in their canon, even if there are other characters from that fandom from a different part of that canon. Please, make a note of where you choose to bring them in from in their profile so that other players will know (even if their characters are amusingly confused).
6. Is there an age limit on joining the game?
No, there isn't. We have found that there are some 15 year olds who write better than 25 year olds. We judge applications on content, and we require all explicit content to have a warning and be under a cut. It's up to the player's discretion to click or not.
7. How do my native characters' (non-wanderer) powers work?
That is up to the role player's discretion. Thankfully, powers vary in characters here like hair color. Powers, even of this world among angels and demons, are more individually specific than some wide, general guideline. For instance, there have been Glays demons that influence other peoples emotions through the written word and through their mind.
8. My wanderer doesn't fit __insert Rift-race here__ when it comes to their magic, elemental, etc. is this a problem?
No, it's not. Wanderers have absolutely nothing to do with supernaturals, angels, and demons. They are not subject to the same rules and stipulations. However, if it makes it easier on you, feel free to have your Wanderer become a supernatural, because of their journey through the Rift, and use the already laid out stipulations.
Just don't worry about a Wanderer not fitting the mold.
9. What's the deal on Chicago? Is there anywhere else to go other than the Conrad hotel?
The world that this takes place in is very similar to our world in names, but it's different enough that even if you don't know the city well, you can make up places within the city to go. You are free to take creative license (within reason) when it comes to this world's Chicago.
