ROLEPLAY THREAD: TBA
OOC THREAD:Fantasy - Tales of Jeogoa *OOC*
LORE THREAD: Fantasy - Tales of Jeogoa *Lore*
Admins: Gelatinous and Mystical Birb
Tales of Jeogoa is a fantasy setting of politics, magic, spirits, and what have you. This is semi-sandbox, meaning as long as you understand and respect the boundaries of the world and its details, you can go about doing essentially whatever you want.
Me and the other two admins wanted to open up this role-play to other people, in case there are those who feel intrigued by this setting! If this seems your thing, we will always leave this open for signing up.
Look to the lore thread for more specific info!
RULES AND DETAILS:
1) No slurs of any kind. While there are elements in this roleplay that could potentially border on topics of gender, sexuality, and etc, absolutely no real-world slurs involving hate against race, gender, or sexual orientation, or mental illness will be tolerated. Also remember to follow the overall site's guidelines on what can be discussed.
2) Follow the lore thread! While it is understandable you are quite literally in unfamiliar territory, try your best to be realistic in following the culture and details named. If you're ever unsure, feel free to ask me specifically in the OOC -- if there's ever something that is fleshed out later, I will try my best to add it punctually to the lore thread. We will try not to be overtly specific when it comes to pointing out errors, but blatant disregard for established bits and bobs will be called out, especially if it conflicts with another's enjoyment.
3) Make as many characters as you want! A role-play of this scale doesn't work unless there are plenty of people to inhabit the world. The more established you are as a player in Jeogoa, the more inclined me or another admin will be to allow you to start as a character of higher stature, or a character of a normally barred-off species.
4) While naturally combat can be a part of the experience for you, it is in no way the focus. This is an RP where you can do whatever you think your character would do in their situation. Avoid pressuring characters into intense situations against their will. There can, will, and should be characters who are overtly combat-avoidant. Singers, politicians, and what have you have just as much a place here!
5) Being a more day-to-day experience, it is asked that you try and pace your character's actions accordingly. It is asked that you don't teleport, or effortlessly get from one situation to the next. Do planning in-character too about what actions you'd like to take involving others, to spread out intense events. Involve other players as much as possible, so you don't waste an opportunity for other players to participate. I can say confidently that all three admins here have very busy lives, so it is very hard to specifically cater to players, so try to help each other out rather than just asking for the admin to throw you a bone.
6) Play nice, play fair. Remember that no player is the main character and everyone is trying to make a good experience for themselves. Be mindful of other players that could use something to do, and be accommodating in scenes like combat-oriented ones. Remember that being overpowered is a mindset, not a design. No character can be all-powerful or undefeated, so let that be shown in how you play. While it may be fun for you to be a character with amazing gear and pristine ability in everything, I can almost certainly tell you it is not anywhere near as fun for others to deal with.
This is the page for making your characters, which needs to be accepted by me or one of the other two admins before they can go on to the role-play. The lore thread is a helpful guide for understanding the playable species and what you can do to customize their appearance and etc.
FORM
Name:
Gender: (note that while there are some races that are gender-exclusive on birth, the culture of Jeogoa is extremely normalized when it comes to gender fluidity and gender transition)
Age:
Species: (note you must get permission before making a character that is a dragon or spirit)
Birthplace: (One of the three territories -- even if you were not born in one of the cities, you were still born in one of these provinces)
Occupation: (this is also where you can say any sort of status you have, if applicable)
Appearance: Colors of whatever features are applicable (follow the specifics of your species), height if applicable (not important if you are a cat/bird), hairstyle if applicable, species of bird/cat if applicable. If you want, you can put their general style of clothing here, but that is not necessary.
Personality:
Hobbies, skills, etc: (can be simple things such as their love of storytelling or comedy, or their more applicable skills in metalworking, just anything you want to give that talks about what your character does that doesn't necessarily involve combat. If applicable, mention what their preferred weapon is, or what types of magic they know, and at what skill level.
Backstory: (Do not worry about making this any sort of intensity, this is just a space to try and explain anything that couldn't be described in any other blanks.)
*If applicable, at the bottom of your form mention any relatives or pre-established relations (best friend, partner, etc) with other characters. This does not need to be edited later on if you establish any relationships in the RP. It is greatly encouraged to try and coordinate having pre-established stuff with other players!*
