How do I get a mentor?

---A mentor should help you get settle into the rp. They are not for roleplaying lessons with - they are for OOC help, and of course you can roleplay with them as your IC mentor as well. They should make sure the junior knows what's going on and stay on their case about rp rules and events, and help them stay active or make friends, and get points to get promoted.
---Requesting a mentor on the application: anyone with * on their name is a senior! You  should read their profile to see who you will get along with better and get the most help out of. Check the "buddies" room in 00C functions to check open mentors and the status of your request. Please put a preference down if you want a mentor. If you have none, it's likely you won't get one for a while
---You can request a mentor at any time even after you join.

What is a mentor's duty?

---Although the juniors should request you, a senior shuold still keep an active eye out for juniors and take initiative for getting an apprentice! You should be helping them get settled in and navigate the rp and events. The mentor is firstly for ooc rping help in NWEE, and secondly for an IC rp mentor.
​---If you have no apprentice right now, you should be actively looking! You get points from having an apprentice, which will help you debut!

Can I have more than 1 character?

---Yes, but:
---2nd accounts will cost pts. Check shop here for prices.
---once you join with your first character, occassionally jobs will arise, such as managers for groups or producers. This won't have a mass application system, but will be assigned by necessity or request.
---However, anyone can apply for a 2nd fan character, where you do nothing but act as a fan to idols. Please don't apply on a regular EMPTY slot, but ask an admin to make that character for you, since you don't require the regular trainee profile

Rooms

Why do rooms have different name formats?

---Only rooms is ALL CAPS give you pts, and rooms in [brackets] are info rooms which you cannot post in. These exist because rpr pushes the info to the bottom once one post in a room, hence why there are two project rooms with the same info.

Why do rooms appear and disappear?

---Rooms for concerts and showcases will only show up during show times to leave the list uncluttered.
---The outside rooms are swapped in and out every so often, so if you leave your rp unfinished for a while the room might disappear, but it will be back in a few days. Some of these rooms will also provide pts at some times.

Trainee Process

How does age work?

---junior trainees must be 18 or younger. once they are promoted to senior trainee, they may update their nage to whatever they wish. You may also change your age at debut.

---you can change your age once at those times, and when it's your birthday.

What is the trainee hierarchy?

---Junior Trainee < Senior Trainee < Rookie (in an estalished group) < Idol (in a debuted group)

Dating?

---Just like in a real entertainment company, usually it's banned. Better be on your best behaviour if you'd like to debut!

Points

How do I get activity points (pts)?

---Only all-caps rooms will give you activity points. These change often, for example, training rooms indicate trainee schedule. If it's dance practice time, the dance room will become CAPS give you points if you post in it. Perhaps the next day, it will no longer be caps and no longer give you points, but the LANGUAGE room will do so. The PROJECT room will most often be capslocked, as long as there is an ongoing project. The STUDIO or performance venue will also be caps and give points during performance times.

---Even if a room does not give pts, it will still increase your posts

---Admin will also administer pts for participation in events, games, or various opportunities. 

Why do I need pts vs posts?

---Posts points (Posts) gauge your activity level. To qualify for certain things, there might be a minimum pts threshold, minimum posts threshold, or a cummulative threshold. For example, you may need 50 posts to graduate to senior, and you may need 100 posts to become a rookie or establish a group. you may need a cummulative score of 500 to debut. You can meet this requirement with 250 posts and 250 pts, or 400 posts and 100 pts. (THESE EXAMPLES ARE NOT ACTUAL THE REQUIREMENTS)
---pts are from participating in time-bound events in the rp, think of them like collectables. They allow you to qualify for exclusive opportunities and later, you will be able to spend them at the shop
---you can probably survive with no pts if you dont participate in scheduled events, but you won't be able to progress if you don't post at all! Post points are required for all promotions!

Rookies and Debut

What are Group dorms for?

---It's a place to hold group meetings and discuss or just hang out. When anyone is on, just post in your dorm and wait for others to respond when they're on, so you don't have to wait for everyone to be on at the same time to speak. Check your dorm like it's your phone!
---Sometimes there will be a to-do list on the description, so check often and make sure you get them done with your group in a timely manner.

Who can participate in variety shows?

---Only rookies and debuted artists can participate in variety shows. The shows are set up by the company to help boost your group's popularity, and should be fun for everyone.
