niflheim_rpg † niflheim_logs † niflheim_ooc † Frequently Asked Questions Can I apply as an original character? Please, just don't. We have any character in fandom times three available in this game. There's just too much variety for you to choose from. Frankly, I'm not quite fond of OCs in a Mult-fandom setting, myself. Can I play as a celebrity? As a band member of some famous band like My Chemical Romance? No. I'm sorry but please restrict your choices to fictional characters. You may do characters from Movie, TV and Books but no actors, singers, musicians, etc. Can I make an extension on my reservation? No. Or rather at least not while your reservation is still in effect. I'm sorry but I do like the idea of giving someone else a chance to reserve that character you are trying to apply for. You may however put in a new reservation the day after your first one expires. I will only acknowledge when it is my time zone's day after and not when you post. Meaning that if you are in the East Coast and place a reservation at 0100 hours, it is still 2200 my time (I live in California). My character appears in two games, like Cloud Strife of Final Fantasy VII and Kingdom Hearts? If I claim Cloud do I claim both Clouds from those games? Am I able to fuse the two "different" Clouds from both games into one? No. Final Fantasy VII and Kingdom Hearts (as well as all the other others and movies that are in the Kingdom Hearts universe) are two different games, completely separate games. You can only apply for one version of a character that is used in at least two different fandoms. You cannot fuse him or her from both fandoms into one. It just wouldn't be fair for anyone. So, you can only apply and claim Cloud from Final Fantasy VII but not Kingdom Hearts and vice versa. Can my character come from the same universe as someone else's character? Yes and no. If you're talking about Original Reality Characters then all those characters must have similar histories and relations that are represented in Canon. If you're talking about Alternate Realities then it just boils down to if you have the original "creator's" permission. Personally, I want to be asked if someone wants to use the same universe one of my AR!Characters came from rather than be surprised that someone decided to do so without my permission. Permission is important. I don't want plagurism and all that drama just because someone decided that another's Alternate Reality universe sounded fun and decided to make his or her own Alternate or Genderswitched Reality character from that universe. If you and another person collaborate the idea of having two characters be from the same Reality then it is fine. If you have more questions, feel free to post them in this entry. How does the Plague work? Is it a major factor in the game? No, it's not a major factor. It was only a means for your character's soul to be transported into Niflheim. How it worked on your character prior to their arrival is to your own interpretation. Am I able to kill off my characters in order of them to appear in Niflheim? Can I forgo the Letter/Plague? Yes and no. I do make some exceptions for characters that have died in their canon, such as Maes Hughes in Fullmetal Alchemist. As seen with the current OR!Edward Elric, I did give permission for the player to use the canon death of Edward (being killed by Envy) as a way for the character to appear in Niflheim. It is recommended that you stick with the letter/plague format in appearing in Niflheim but if you choose to do something different please notify a Moderator with your idea on how your character will die. You need our permission first before applying that way. Regardless, you character must die, we prefer it to be the Plague, however. What happens if my Character dies in my fandom and that is canon/official? If you are applying for an Original Reality character that actual dies in your fandom, you may simply forgo the plague and have him or her land directly into Niflheim. It is perfectly acceptable. So... is my character "dead", per se in this game? No, well, sorta. We all heard of Purgatory, or Limbo, right? Niflheim is that place. It's a place between life and death. It is only because of Loki's grand plan that you have died in your "world" (fandom) and had your soul become transported into Niflheim. Will it be possible, if I wanted to leave the game, that my character to come back alive in his or her world? Yes, it would. The Yggdrasil Flower has the power to that. It also reverses time before you receive the message that had inflicted you with the Plague. If your character was dead in the actual fandom, he or she may just go into the actual Afterlife. Alright. I have a Yggdrasil item. How do I use it? You merely mention it that you used the item attain something (with the Mod's permission) in a journal post. However, if you are using the item to revive someone who is in the coma state, that must be dealt in a RP log. What happens when my character first arrives in Niflheim? They simply wake up in a designated free housing home in whatever district the Mods give you. Make sure to read in detail what each District specializes and which one you may enjoy the best for when you are able to have your own paid housing. Items? What items can I bring into the game with my character when he or she first arrives? Basically the items that your character has normally in their fandom such as Cloud Strife with his large massive sword is acceptable along with a few materia (low level materia. We do not want Knights of the Round materia in the game as of yet!) but he cannot appear with Vincent Valentine's Cerberus rifle weapon. He doesn't normally carry that. If you are unsure if you can bring in an item, please ask a moderator or reply to this post. What is the deal with Districts? Home Districts are where you live but you are not restricted to only moving around in your resident District. You may move to another district if you have the money for it. Once you enter Niflheim, you will be housed in Free Housing. Does my character know he or she is being drained? At first? No, they shouldn't however sooner or later you hear something about in the message board or with a conversation with an NPC. Or you can have them assume something is wrong. The stone in the jewelry they wear glows during the entire Soul Draining. How do we do the journal thing in this game? You have a portable laptop, roughly ten inches by five which is also voice-compatible for those who cannot type or see. It also serves as a link to the world wide web of our real world though all news sites and information is banned. It is possible to find "fanfiction" or "fanart" of your characters and talk about that, as well as quizzes, memes and what not. You said Battling? Fighting, or whatever. How does that go? Simply, a Mod will post in the OoC community about certain guidelines that should be met in a Battling post. Such as a character has to fall unconscious for X amount of total replies, should have a broken bone, needs to go into the hospital or something like that. There will also be information of items you can use to fight off whatever is attacking you that may or may not help. Jobs? We need jobs? Why yes, this is a City-setting and you can't certainly expect your housing to be free all the time? You'll get kicked out sooner or later if you don't. Job options will be posted in the OoC Community and sometimes the Message Board. They can range from teaching positions, doctors, law enforcement to whatever. They are ranked from a level of 1 to 10. 1 being enough to house you in a small one-person home and 10 being enough to house you, feed you and give you enough spending money for a good three months. This will be better explained when the jobs become available. Students at the schools are housed for free in their school dormitories. Why do I have to wait until I'm 17 to have Smut in this RP? Legal issues in the United States where the Moderators live. I'm sorry about that but I do not wish to go to jail. How do we get our Yggdrasil stuff? A moderator using the God Journal will comment on your journal about you receiving an item. It can be for a good job at being active, helping the plot along and so on. How is the draining of souls thing go? It happens at random but Loki will post in the Message board about draining people with a certain coloured stone jewelry. So like people with ruby bracelets will be drained only. How many times until I die from being drained? About five times by the jewelry alone. It might be sped up if you meet up with a monster or something. Information will be given during that. I want to join the Military? How do I do that? Thor will bring a post in the Message Board about recruiting people. Reply to that and then you'll soon be assigned a squadron and a district to live in. There are underground military dorms for you to live in while serving in the military. Hey! I saw this RP before! Did you? In its entirety? Did you see this in parts? Or is it completely? Well, damn, I have to admit, I saw different pieces from different RPs ALL on the internet. Saw the multiple version of the same character? Hell, I saw that one several RPs on FORUMS and the INTERNET. Saw an enclosed city? How many really are out there? HUNDREDS. Trapped in a place your character doesn't want to be? THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF A SETTING RP THAT ISN'T A SCHOOL (usually). What makes my game unique is not the different versions that can be played in this game. It's the deal with the Yggdrasil Tree and the Gods, mainly. All the other parts are to make this game more interesting. You can whine to me about it all you want. I'm not closing this game just to please you. I am not going to put a COPYRIGHT on these things because I REFUSE to. If people want to copy me, then by all means do it! I want you to! It means I succeeded in making a good game! People only put COPYRIGHTs because they are threatened by something they do NOT want to see. The real people with the COPYRIGHTs are those these characters we play are owned by. It's not the idea of the RP, it's not the different parts of the RP that it more interesting. The RP is made so it can be FUN. Hey! I belong to an RP that is similar to this game and the mods there say I can't play with you unless I want to quit the game over there. What do you think about that? What do I think? I think that's bullshit, really. I think you're entitled to PLAY where you WANT. They're only being a dictator. If you want to join my RP and play at another more SIMILAR game, then by all means GO AHEAD. I encourage you. You can create new experiences in this game and that other RP that will make it more Fun! Why the last two FAQ questions? I was a player at this one RP, which I will not name for the sake of just not wanting to. I am not wanking, nor do I plan to. I am however also part of the RP which was assumed to be what I believe was assumed a complete rip-off. I just wish to have it state, I will not tolerate anyone flaming or complaining about my RP because I have my rights. I am not a nice person when I am in moderator mode. I want to be but I can't. I rule with a firm fist. I do not want any conflict with anyone, I do not want any flames, complaints or arguments that are not intelligently given. I give you my arguments already. Please, for the sake of just peace on the internet, I will not bother you if you don't bother me. I just want to play my game in peace with those who are interested. You are entitled to yours and for the most part, I did like playing with you and your role-playing game. You just got boring for me. Please no drama. We're all mature people (I hope). I won't give you any if you don't give me anyway. Also, one more thing to note. I have not ever glanced or stalked the RP that I was kicked out of, nor looked at any other RP game save for their premise information since then. This RP was NOT created as a protest or as an insult, only to give a hopefully different experience in the world of the Internet and Role-Playing. Believe it or not, I stand by what I say.
