The Court of Queen Auriana


Recommended Posts

We are considering moving the action of this kingdom to the RP forum. There, we can run the realm as we see fit.

 

I still have need of temple builders for the goddess...

An RP thread has been created here: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1028918-the-kingdom-of-nexonia-aurianas-court-rp/ for actual storymaking revolving around this illustrious court.

 

Rules will be fairly simple and less restrictive than other RPs. Still, the following guidelines should be taken into account.

 

 


1) Have fun. If you are finding yourself always irritated or unhappy...then why are you here. Figure out the issue or go do something else.

2) Never forget the line between RP In Character and Out of Character and don't cross it. It is easy, especially when you have particularly intense RP, to take things personally. Don't....99% of the time it isn't all about you.

3) Start with a well made character. Have a decent background and personality to make your RP more fun and easier. Your character doesn't have to be set in stone. But having a solidly made character is important or your RP may peter out. Have your character have likes/dislikes, goals, dreams, an arch-enemy....this will help you flesh them out even more and bring them to life.

4) Relationship RP should be the ICING not the CAKE! Make it a side-quest if you will...not the main one.

5) You have to give a little to get a little. We all have RP storylines in which we want others to engage. That is what makes it fun, right? But if you find a friend knee-deep in a RP of their own, don't come in and hijack the RP for yourself or refuse to participate because its not all about YOU. Have fun and throw your lot in with them! Trust me, when your time comes around, people will remember that you play well with others.

6) Don't be a MaryJane! Don't decide that you are going to be a half-dragon or the long-lost illegitimate son of the King of Whoville. It doesn't work, it probably isn't in the lore anywhere, and it will lead only to your RP downfall. Eventually your “special” character will begin to dominate everyone else and their RP. No one will want to play with you...so make your character special in other ways.

7) No godmoding!! Remember, you only control YOUR character and not others. When you RP, do not take over the actions of other Rpers.

For example: Jon casts a frostbolt at Matt knocking him back into the wall and breaking his arms.

Instead try: Jon cast a frostbolt hoping to hit Matt and knocking him out of the way.

This allows the other player to take action. You can have decided before hand how this will go out. You can roll to see what actions happen or how bad an injury is.

8 )Soap Opera-ing. Many of us have wanted to play our character as crazy, a total badass or having an illness or amnesia. Those can all be valid and fun stories. The doom is in taking it too far or too long. These kind of stories ultimately leave little RP options for those around you. Always have movement and a goal in your RP...otherwise it goes nowhere.

9) Be willing to RP with anyone, anytime. Just because you are in a guild or Rping with a friend doesn't mean you can't include others. Walk-Up RP can lead to great things...or simply pass the time for a bit. If others don't RP EXACTLY like you...no sweat. Perhaps they are new and need some gentle guidance. So be open to everything!

10) Communication is the key. Always establish your RP boundaries when you are Rping with someone long-term. If you don't like swearing...or a particular kind of violence...or if you will take anything coming down the pike! Let others know. It avoids awkward and unpleasant conversations later.

 

All in all, this is supposed to be a fun, humorous RP, very similar in content to things like Monty Python or The Princess Bride. It's not supposed to be that serious, but don't get out of hand or out of forum rules.

Your Grace,

 

I have noted that you do not yet have a royal guard. If it please Your Grace, I would gladly take up this position and recruit renowned swordsman, knights, lances and footmen to serve as your royal guard if you should deign me worthy. I shall send a Raven to your personal rookery with my full petition.

 

Your Humble Servant,

Zephyr

Greetings my Lady. It is with glad spirits that this poor knight come before you and ask to be your Constable. With such a position, I may help our Royal Guard capture any criminals who dare defy the crown. (And also keep the dungeons full!)
