There are going to be Questions that the staff will be asked throughout this forum's life. Hopefully by Placing them here, it'll make All Character Creations And Roleplaying go more smoothly. We tried to create scenarios that could play out, and placed them here.
-----> For quick navigation use F + ctrl to look up topic of your question.. Ex: canon , original, power , plot, etc etc
note to STAFF: just copy and paste the Information from here.... Versus linking this Thread. That does not help anyone if the person still confused try to explain it a little better using the information threads and your own experience. I'm sure things will work out, if we all worked together with Aligned Hearts.
--------- We just want to change things a little... ----- The other argument is "most media" is real life. But either way, maybe in future.. But All staff agreed to hold off on this.
Why not books, audio, or Real life[RL] Media Canons?
-------If its not animated, we will not allow it, a shared agreement between all the staff. This site is a celebration of Original, Alternate Universes, Video games, and Animations alike. Adding Real life just touches on Real Living People's livelihood and faces. We find that more for the Real-life sites, not Ours.
No, As this still steps on that Real-life person's livelihood AND is probably an Original artwork to boot. Original artwork might be accepted for Canons, AUs, and/or Originals.. BUT NOT Real-Life we're just going to avoid these canons with a ten-foot pole. There are plenty of RL roleplays out there.
I wanna make an Original Character or Alternate universe Character, But I wanna make them Related-Ally to this 1 Specific Canon... Can I do this?
------ Yep, BUT only if there's somebody Roleplaying that Canon.. AND You get Permission FOR THEIR CANON First. and I swear NO Asking more than Once. It is not hard to Earn Ally-Relationship through roleplay. We do not want a situation where somebody jumps into the roleplay, and has no choice but to be related to your character. When they have other Head Canon ideals.
My canon has an omega move, can I have it? Especially if I do this to weaken it?
------ Yes, however, you have to follow our Star System Leveling up. Meaning even if make all these weaknesses, or that Ability has an omega Drawback YOU STILL HAVE TO follow the Star Level of power it starts at. Even KO moves, only 1/4th damage at lvl 0. Think of this world as a High Defense Stat than your Character's original-canon world.
So my canon is only Off screen, mentioned, and/or is a child... Baby.. Not Roleplay Age.. Can I still make them?
Yep! And you can even Age them. If it comes to that just Say what World their from, if they time-traveled into the past, and/or stumbled upon a Curse.. Spell.. Token.. etc.. To age up. IT IS highly possible to make your own Alternate Universe that time just simply moves faster. Or set Hearts Aligned [HA] Universe Further down the Canon timeline than what normally thought to be the timeline, Example: How to Train your Dragon set in Europia is set with Hiccup's kids at age 16 In our Universe.. So hiccup is like 36? I guess? 32? maybe? I don't wanna get accurate data. Hiccup fans before you worry, it is VERY possible to age Hiccup down or set him from another universe coming here to HA.
TLR; You can age the Canon up through spells, curses, tokens, Time-travel, Time Rifts, Alternate Universe, and/or Make that world later in the canon if you're first canon setting our Aligned Hearts Universe lore up.
I want to RP multiple Canons from the same Fandom, can I?
----- Ehh.. due to Staff-Active Members taking most canons of the same Fandom... No. We're discouraging this behavior, we do not want 20 accounts by 1 member all same fandom. It just.. It just annoying. YOU CAN make 1 Major Character, and 2 recurring. That is it... we're using Wikipedia.org or a Wiki to decide Whose Major and Whose Recurring/Support. If its a bit Vague, the Staff will put it in vote.. So tag us in Discord before making the bio-work and we'll decide from there.
TLR; Only this Max 1 Major Character, and 2 recurring, we don't want 7 Majors roleplayed by 1 person. Or 40 Accounts logged in with only 2 active people....
------ Yep, BUT only if there's somebody Roleplaying that Canon.. AND You get Permission First. and I swear NO Asking more than Once, you can Earn Ally-Relationship through roleplay.
I wanna Rp an Original Character but Cannot Draw, Take a While to Draw, and/or have access to an image, will it be okay to go faceless? I really.. Really wanna Post NOW.
----- Yes, I know sounds crazy.. Especially for Graphics and codes. But you know what, it worked fine in the Old days of roleplay, so why does it matter now? After all, it isn't about just the Cute Hot Men or Women pics.. It is about the characters. Just Know If you have Original artwork you DIDN'T draw, get permission first. [with screenshot of permission... we try to protect the site and artist's livelihood.]
So I wanna make an original world, is this like allowed?
----- Yes... Please high Havens yes.. Make All the Original worlds, Plots, lore.. You little heart desires. Just. Have Fun. The only thing, These worlds will not be Public Boards, until they complete a "Nomination" and "Voting" Phase when we add Worlds. It is UP TO YOU if these worlds have "Fallen" into Nightmares, Dreams, Heartless, Or just To some Villain Faction group working with our villains. DO LET US KNOW... they MIGHT appear in quests.
TLR: please. Yes. All Originality. Thank you.
Okay, okay you say "Alternate Universe" how alternate? Are we talking?
---- Like Elsa with Fire powers or Elsa in OUR WORLD 80's I am talking ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, Go to Hell Wild. Elsa can have her heart on the OTHERSIDE of the chest. Just. For the love of Everything, Don't judge others who use this to be creative... And just Enjoy the Wild Possibilities. We're trying to bring Fun into Roleplay, not Control. ALSO we allow multiple of same Canons, so if we have Frozen 2 Elsa, we will allow Fire 1980 Elsa too.
TLR; Anything is Possible, and acceptable within None OP or Mary Sue reason. Remember Multiple of the Same canon is allowed to be made.
------ Theoretically, yes yes you can. Xemnas did it quite a lot, Sora possibly too. Either way, your character's can. BUT do keep it at a minimum and keep Track of Everything, Also Liquid TIME does exist so... Technically multiple threads of Past can Happen exact same time as Preset threads. Just.. Date your threads and Locations if your character is a teleporter or Time traveler, to keep things... Well organized. Also remember Cause and Effect.
Unions, Do I HAVE to join them? Like any of the Factions?!
----- Oh my ABSOLUTELY NOT. Hell, the first 4 characters the staff made.. NONE were in a Faction of ANY kind. The unions are simply there as an option for plot potential.. NOT A REQUIREMENT. We Would love for this Kingdom Hearts to be free-flowing and bring back old Crazy nostalgia
Does this site actually have a Plot? Or planned out things? or things to do?
----- If I said yes will you join? yeah? cool. YEP! We do! yeah, Eveents! Mysteries to solve! ----- If I said no will you join? yeah? cool. Nope! we don't. You decide!
When you say "Members Decide" or "You Actions Changes the plot" Or "Member Controlled" How.. Controlling. Are They?
----- Pretty much, you active.. your character influences other characters... You ARE the plot. I mean, it should just happen naturally. If you have ideas for the plot, or wish to explore something... Just pm the Staff and we'll help your idea become realized. I mean.. What can be worst than Time Rifts and World collapsing? Surely your idea cannot be So insane as to break the site.
Alright this site has a Plot.. And Has Member plot stuff to.. How are you working them together?
---- EASY! Staff throws Quests, Events, and/or NPCs to make their ideas workout. AND Members throw THEIR Characters at other CHARACTERS to make THEIR plots workout. ------------ JUST WATCH the STORY WEAVE together, as the pieces fall in place.
I Really Really wanna see this happen... CAN WE PLEASE DO THIS.
------- Villains? Everyone is a Villain.. Just like Everyone can be a Hero. Really.. SUSPECT everything! ------- There are NO plot Canon spots, You become important through Thread Activity and Placing yourself forward. WARNING: Staff will probably poke Inactive users for threads, and try to get MORE of the Inactive characters part of the plot. ALL PLOTS have a POSSIBILITY. MORE Characters, MORE TWISTS, MORE FUN.
------ Participate in Events, Make Open Threads, Take on Quests, Buy it in shop, and Advertise the site. Fastest way to level up. Seriously just be active and have fun, its not always about power.... its about Making Friends tooo............ Okay Power is maaybe the fun part. Losing.. LOSING real fun.
------- Gain a Master keyblader's Trust - inheritance, In Shop[ha], Advertise the site, Participate in events. ALL Keybladers GO ON A Dive Heart QUEST... THEY EARN the QUEST Ticket.
------ Eh.. Its up to the other Roleplayer, and you best don't keep asking or get annoying about "winning". The most fun is losing, and see how it influences your character's growth.
----- eer.. Yes? I mean there's Phoenix down, Time-line Resets, and Revival spells... PLUS! Player Characters can't kill your character without permission.....The important thing is you only die if you lose all your hearts and were killed by a Nobody, Somebody, and Replica. You know 3/4s of the Character races <3. But hey, think of it this way.. Your character COULD turn Heartless AND a Nobody if a Heartless Kills your character... 2 For 1.
TLR; Yeah, but there's hundreds of way to come back.
My canon has an omega move, can I have it? Especially if I do this to weaken it?
------ Yes, however you have to follow our Star System Leveling up. Meaning even if your character if ull of weaknesses, or that Ability has an omega Drawback YOU HAVE TO follow the Star Lvl of power it starts at. Even KO moves, only 1/4th damage at lvl 0. Think of this world as a High Defense Stat than your Character's original-canon world.
You need a 5 Star Lvl Power/Item/Spell/Ability/Weapon (PSIAW) aligned with either Light, Dark, and/or Neutral then using that PSIAW in a Board will change that Whole Board's Alignment to your character's PSIAW's Alignment.
At the end of a 2 month period, all Board Alignments are counted, whoever has the most Alignment wins. When they win those who participated, that won, will all get to Nominate the boards they wish were Permanent that Alignment for 1 Month period, then Everybody on forum Votes on it
I'm in a thread during a Board's Light Alignment, But another Thread made later turned it Dark Alignment... Is it dark now?
No, unless All PARTIES within that thread decide it is happening at Same Present time as another thread. It is up to you as the Members of "WHEN" in the Timeline a Thread is taking place. HOWEVER, when the Thread is Made, Thread Creator to Take note of the Board's Alignment and follow that Alignment.
Okay if I use Light 5 Star Ability in Realm of Darkness, Bam Light Realm?
Uh. No. Realm of Darkness will Always be the Realm of Darkness, Unless there is a MASSIVE MASSIVE Event Plot Happening with MULTIPLE Threads and MULTIPLE Parties getting involved. It is one of the FEW boards to never change Alignment. AND NEVER Count for Competition.
Wait! Realm of Darkness is always Dark Alignment, does it Count for the Game Competition thing?
The Board Alignment game wouldn't be as much fun because Neutral will probably always win. IF we get to a point that people, are spamming Lvl 5 Abilities everywhere.. and Somehow Someway this site is so active all Boards have Alignments, then we will put Neutral into Consideration of the competition. However Since the site is still under 1 Year of Age, and most characters are at lvl 0 average. Then no, we're not going to do that.
If I use my 5 Star Ability in a Sub-board does it affect that Whole World?
Nope, just that Sub-board. You'd have to make the thread inside the Main board for it to make a Whole World turn to Darkness. Note: The Sub-boards However Will be Neutral, as they'll need to be individually done. It's about playing the game, try to get all the points.
---- 2 Ways. -------- 1. Ask the Staff, somebody will get it done within 24hours. -------- 2. Go to ipiccy.com/ and then save it under your picture files.. ---------------- Then upload at imgur.com/
Unions, Do I HAVE to join them? Like any of the Factions?!
----- Oh my ABSOLUTELY NOT. Hell the first 4 characters the staff made.. NONE were in a Faction of ANY kind. The unions are simply there as an option for plot potential.. NOT A REQUIREMENT. We Would love for this Kingdom Hearts to be free-flowing and bring back old Crazy nostalgia
I have a busy Life IRL, I get Depressed, There's new sites to join, and/or just plain Inactive for long periods, however, I still want to keep my canon. AND HOPE - Plan to come back here.. Can I rejoin at any time? Will I lose anything at all? What if I am gone for 4+ months?
First off, its okay nobody going to judge you or get upset if you go join-checkout another site or just had some major event happen in your life. There is nothing wrong with this, People come and go constantly. Roleplay is meant to be a Stress relief.. NOT the STRESS-Maker. We are here to have fun, it Is okay. Just Time Skip your characters to what is happening when you come back
Second off, if you feel misplaced or Behind on things. Just PM Ginger or/and Galeforce (whomever you feel comfortable with), They will give you ALL the updates on what is going on the forum. Events, important character movements, Etc etc. It'll be like you never left. If you Really Really wish to stay Hiatus and Private, she and Staff will ALL be willing to RP with you on Discord till you feel more comfortable to rejoin the main forum. Just let us know, we will try to help make friends with you.
Third off, Sometimes users are Gone a VERY LONG TIME with no Contact What-so-ever we will probably "clean-up" the forum by removing accounts, move Inactive Characters to Archives Every New Year's Eve, and Delete Discord OOC's if no sign or reply at all.. We will check activity through Discord AND Announcement on New Years Clean-up, Requiring at least 1 Thread or chat Hello during December. If the account is Removed all Account Inventories, Munny, Stats, Adv points, AND post count; Will all be Backed up On the site. A complete Screenshot of your profile, in public view, so YOU KNOW it is there. As For your Private Inventory things, You can Pm us and Ask for the codes-details when you make a new account to rejoin, no progress lost. It is highly encouraged to Time skip your characters to Current date, pretending they were on "auto-pilot" or make them a side character during events-etc that just experienced it versus taking part.
