This thread is for people that are completely new to Roleplaying. If you're one of these people, allow me to say welcome! And I hope that this guide will help you better understand the terminology and methods at play here.
First, a breakdown of terminology:
Sagas - Story Arcs. Essentially, it covers an event. The Frieza Saga was all about Frieza's invasion of Planet Namek, right? That's what a "Saga" is.
Solos - This is when you do a topic or thread entirely by yourself. No other people join, and it's typically used for certain character development arcs. Hence it is a "Solo".
RP - Shorthand for "Role Play". If someone says "Do you want to RP?", they're asking if you want to Role Play.
Grading - The phase in which you have completed a thread and you are ready for it to be turned in so that your stats can be updated!
-
Stats - The statistical values belonging to your character, their HP, their EXP, their PL, and so on.
PL - Shorthand for "Power Level", a Power Level of 1,000 can be shortened to "1,000 PL"
EXP - Experience Points, if you're familiar with RPGs at all, you know what this is.
HP - Your Hit Points, Health Points, Health Bar, etc. Video Games use them all the time, and the principle is exactly the same.
-
Threads - This is what happens when you make a new post by itself. For example, this is a "Thread" about a Beginner's Guide!
Topics - Same as the above.
Posting - The action of writing out the message you wish to send to other people. Once it is finished and sent, it is a "Post".
-
So that's the common terminology you'll run into! Now, we do have some key points of interest you can read that can give you a much more specific breakdown. For your convenience, we will list them below. Please read through them!
First: The Rules. Read these over carefully. Making an account here is the same as saying that you agree to the Rules as they have been laid out. You will be expected to follow them!
Second: Combat System & Techniques. This will be key to understanding how our Roleplaying system works.
Third: Transformation Mechanics. This will cover everything to do with Transformations!
Fourth: Playable Races. This section contains all of the currently available Races.
Fifth: The Afterlife covers everything to do with a character's death!
Sixth: The Lore Section covers the Site's setting, timeline, and so on! It's worth checking!
Seventh: When you are ready to make a character, you go to the Applications Section! Templates are provided here, make full use of them!
Eighth: The Travel section describes the process of going from planet to planet.
This will be updated upon suggestion, or as needed!
