CHOOSING YOUR RACE QUESTIONS
The better question is what can't you play.. right now we are not allowing werewolves, vampires, dragons, nekos, mermaids and avatars with an animal head (cat people, shark man) Exceptions to this rule are listed on the website. No Hybrid characters.
You CAN play any of those characters.. however they will not be called demons, angels, fae or elves.. they will be called DOMACI
WHY NOT CALL THEM THEIR ACTUAL NAME?
All of these types of characters have been previously written about. There are many different lore and stories about the character. Not all players read or follow the same lore. This can lead to arguments or players stating "they are not playing that character correctly". To minimize this we have taken away those titles.
WHAT ABOUT THESE CHARACTER'S ORGIN STORIES? (HEAVEN, HELL, FAE REALM ETC)
In our story all Domaci and Beast were formed on this island. In the history of the island some of the Mythians went out to explore but all of these fantasy creatures came from Mythian.
FORGET THE OTHER LORES....
Forget the origin stories... You can develop a character that matches your version of the a demon, angel, fae or elf. You can have that look and choose a power that matches your character. You may also choose character traits and skills that those characters normally have.

EXAMPLE:
A player has decided to play a fae. The players makes their avatar look like a fae. The player chooses the power, player chooses their characters traits and skills. This character is called a Domaci.

As long as it not one of the roles we are not excepting you are welcome to apply. Make sure the character fits the appearance of a Domaci and describe it in detail on the application.
Beast Characters are a little different as they need to be Beast that come from an already written lore and will need fit in the rules we have set. See Beast role for more information.

- Two post minimum to use magic
- One power to start. ( you can earn the other powers but one at a time and all at starting at a beginning level)
- Older does not mean more powerful for this sim everyone has to start at a level 1 with their power
- No power is as strong as those the ancient gods had.. You can have those powers.. but your power will not be as strong as Zeus..Lightening throwing is not a level one power.. manipulating the electricity to give a person a slight shock (not kill them) is a level one.
- Limits must be included on all write ups.
- A level one mental power can only effect one person at a time.. no mental powers including illusions will be able to effect more 5 people (level 3) at the same time.. If two Mythians with the same power and same level work together.. the effects will be doubled.

- Powers such as the kiss of death, that kill another player, will not be approved. See Power list for others powers that are not allowed.
SKILLS, PHYSICAL ASSETS, AND ABILITIES FROM PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Skills refer to things your character has learned or perhaps naturely gifted with but it does not enhance on powers. These skills are not attributes such as lying, beauty or charm.
SKILLS would be very specific and not a general topic like "Music or Fighting"
Examples of Skills : Weapon making Blacksmiths Weaponry (pick 1 specific weapon you are good at) pick-pocketing
Singing Hunting Fighting (pick 1 style of fighting you are good) lock picking
Painting Cooking Politics (would you make a good lawyer?)
Check the Skill Page for more information
If you do not see a skill on the list you want you may add your own. Remember these skills are not attributes.. see below.

NO.
Some of the beast naturally have enhanced scenes or physical abilities. The Domaci will be able to add one phyical attribute that will can be used to enhance an ability like that see below.

Attributes like these are things you are born with. Although you can claim that lying is a skill that is learned, we are not including that as a skill.
Many of these attributes are things you can either roleplay out well or not. Other the years we have seen players try to claim having these attribute and although they have them listed as "SKILLS" there roleplay didn't back it up.
Therefore we have decided not to include these as skills and will not force other players to just accept these attributes of a character.
Any player may use these attributes but it will rely solely on your roleplay skill. If you can roleplay being a seductive or charming then go for it.
Examples:
Beauty.. everyone in secondlife has a beautiful avatar. It takes more of an effort to make an ugly one. So therefore we are not going to force someone to roleplay your avatar is better looking then person standing next to you.
Charming.. if a player can roleplay being charming they will. If they can't or don't know how it is obvious. Again this attribute will be left up to the skill of the roleplayer.
Lying- Lying is always tricky in roleplay, however if the players are following basic roleplay etiquette it should not be a big deal.
If the knowledge of the player that is trying to lie is ooc.. that is called metagaming and not allowed.
A person can suspect someone of lying however if confronted on why they think this.. they will need an in character reason to back it up.
Thought posting that you think someone is lying... you need to have an action so the other player can address it if they want too.

Three questions all players should ask themselves when they are presenting these skills in roleplay...
- Are you using the skill at an appropriate time or using it to interrupt roleplay to put attention on yourself? Example: Two people are in a conversation and you walk up singing.
- Have you been overusing this skill around people?
- As a player have you become obnoxious in using this skill to the point players are becoming annoyed?
OOC have you put the skill in your profile? Although not all players look at profiles it can still help. It can help to get a better reaction.
Skills are used to help you get jobs by showing that your character has practice and knowledge in those areas. We ask people to pick three. Just like in real life we all have skills in certain areas but we are not the best at everything.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT WITH THESE SKILLS:
Just because another player doesn't like your singing or painting skills. It does not mean you are bad at them. Just like in real life, some people prefer rap to classic rock. It could simply be a matter of the choice in music or the subject you painted. Other players can have their opinions.
That being said.. if you have these as your skills we do ask that others respect that and although it may not be their cup of tea, being mean in-character about it is not alright. The player with the skill is talented, even if you don't like the choice of music or art.
NO.
As stated early we feel that character should grow and learn. Our roleplay perks will allow you to add more skills to your character as you roleplay out learning them. For skills that are more subjective like art and music, if you don't have them in your skill set.. you would be mediocre at best. You may not sound like claws on a chalk board and paint better than a 1st grader but you wouldn't be a star in those areas by any means. Other skills such as herbal knowledge, if you do not have them you will not be able to make potions or healing remedies.

NO.
Humans and Beast are pretty much as is. You may change your color if you are gorgon or how your eyes look but adding extra accessories such as horns or wings would be making a hybrid character.
For Beast: All the physical accessories that come with that character such as claws or tails all work.
Only Domaci has the choice to add one physical accessory their character. After the one, the others are for looks only and offer no other benefit to the character.

YES. Just remember your Beast character must be mostly physical than a magic user and come from an already written Lore
