Roleplay Questions
What types of humans are we allowed to roleplay here?
Currently, you may roleplay normal humans, elves, werewolves, vampires, and aycayías.
No one has replied to my roleplays! Why?
There can be many reasons for why there has been no responses. If you recently posted the roleplay, give it some time. Some people are really busy and can't respond so quickly. Also, look at your roleplay post. If the roleplay is relatively short, it may discourage others from actually responding. Best bet is to either improve your roleplay post or wait it out a little while longer. If that does not work, try joining someone elses rp.
What human subspecies can interbreed?
Normal humans may have children with elves. No other human subspecies may interbreed. Vampires with vampires, weres with weres, and aycayías with aycayías.
Can we make up our own species?
We have enough species provided already on the site. Try roleplaying what has already been created first
What is the current time setting of Althalos?
Because Althalos is it's own planet. There is no general "setting." However, the time period tends to lean more toward Medieval times.
Is there a certain roleplay length requirement?
No there is no restrictions. We accept any and all rpers. However, it is preferred that you keep your roleplay posts at a minimum of one paragraph per post. Anything less can be seen as spammish and also discourage other rpers. If you need help lengthening your roleplays, just ask someone. Basically, no one liners for the most part.
How many characters can I have per account?
Theres no restriction on how many characters you can have nor is there a restriction on how many can be on one account. Its easier with seperate accounts but do whatever you feel is best.
When can I start to roleplay my character?
After your profile is made.
Where do I place my character profile?
In the Little Black Box for human species.
Can I roleplay a character in more then one roleplay?
Yes, so long as nothing major is happening in the other roleplay (such as your character dying.)
Art Questions
Do I have to be good at art to roleplay here?
Artwork is not an essential here on the forum. If you really feel the need to have a picture of your character, ask around or perhaps color a template.
How can I put my art up online?
You can either sign up at www.photobucket.com and upload images there, or go to imageshack.us/ to upload images without having to make an account.
What is MSpaint?
It's a program that comes with PC computers. To access the program, go to your start menu, then to all programs, accessories, and click on 'paint.'
How do I color a template?
Depending on the type of template, it can be colored several ways.
Mspaint Compatible Templates:
Templates that are MSpaint compatible mean that you should be able to color them in the program without a problem. Just copy and paste the template into the program and begin coloring!
Other Templates:
Templates that are not MSpaint compatible have to be colored using other art programs. For photoshop:
Open up the template>Layers>Duplicate Layers>Multiply and start coloring!
Can I use other people's artwork here?
If you did not create the image yourself or the image was not created for you, then no there will be no usage of artwork from others on this forum. This includes sites such as Golden Wolf. Although they allow usage of their artwork, I'd rather it not be used here. So either an image that was made specifically for you or an image you made yourself can be used here. Human bases are allowed provided you follow the artist's rules.
Can I use templates outside of this forum?
Certain artists allow you to use their templates on other forums. Be sure to read their rules. If they ask you not to, dont. If they dont specify, be on the safe side and dont use it until you have asked permission VIA PM.
Administrative Questions
How can I apply to be a moderator?
Until there is a sufficient amount of members and activity, no new moderators will be brought on to the forum. However, if there becomes a particular need for help, we'll do one of two things. Either ask the members whom they feel would become a great mod, or appoint one on our own knowledge of how they are. But for now, until there is a large amount of members, no new staff will be brought on board.
A staff member has been acting out of context. Who do I tell?
It would be best if you contacted Kaylii or Barcode454, the administrators with screen shots of the incident (or a link) so we can see what course of action should be taken.
Someone has stolen art!!
Whether it be on this forum or off the forum, all stolen artwork should be reported to any of the staff members. Please refrain from posting about it on the board to the public as this can bring upon a lot of flaming.
How do I put a picture into my signature?
Go to profile, then modify profile. Where it says signature, place in this code.
Code: [img]URL[/img] How do I place a link in my signature?
Go to profile, then modify profile. Where it says signature, place in this code.
