A FEW HELPFUL DETAILS ON THIS ROLEPLAY
This roleplay is set in South Korea in the year 2050 where Virtual Realities are the newest trends in the gaming industry. To play these games, you need a gear (a body suit with a helmet) that will take you to the Game Verse once connected to the internet and logged in the game. Your physical body stays where it is, but instead of the room you are in, you see the Virtual World of whatever game you are playing, you hear whatever sounds are made in the Virtual World, you smell, feel and taste everything there is. You move around in the Virtual World, but it is all just in your head, so your physical body does not move along. That means that when being injured in the game, your physical body will not be injured, but you do feel part of the pain, making those games appear real.
By joining this roleplay, you play your face claim (Asian/Western idol/singer/actor/celebrity) who participates in the game. Your IN GAME appearance will be as described in the countries page, whereas in real life (OFF GAME) your character looks like your face claim.
Dhana zamina has just been released and is therefore only available to play in South Korea.
Note: It is important to get an understanding of IN GAME, OFF GAME and OOC. When we say IN GAME we mean your video game character, OFF GAME means the idol/face claim and OOC is YOU as the roleplayer behind IN GAME and OFF GAME characters.
Also, do remember that you do NOT know any other gamer's real name or face claim, unless you have agreed/plotted for your characters to be real life friends/siblings etc. that know of each other's gaming persona. That also means you can never know if a female character IN GAME is also female OFF GAME, but of course you are free to make assumptions. The safest bet is to refer to another gamer by their IN GAME gender unless they tell you otherwise.
RULES
1) This is a literate roleplay. All roleplay posts must be written in 3rdpov and para, 120+ words each (about 7 lines on desktop; 14 lines on mobile), not counting OOC.
Since IN GAME posts give you points that determine your rank (bonus points can be gained through events + killing boss monsters), you can split posts that are 250+ words long. Just make sure that every part is 120+ words long. Also a series of posts should be marked as such in OOC to avoid confusion (Tip: use this website to count your post's length).
Please take note that you can roleplay in only ONE IN GAME ROOM at a time. Feel free to roleplay in other OFF GAME ROOMS and on walls and PM simultanously though.
Also, when using an IN GAME ROOM and changing to another, please do take a look at the map first to see if it is possible to reach that place from the area you are currently in, and please add an OOC note saying where you are heading to next.
2) Standard rules of other roleplays apply here, too. That means no godmodding, no OOC drama and no bashing in OOC either. Your characters are free to cause drama IN GAME and OFF GAME though.
3) All orientations (straight//yuri etc.) are accepted. is only allowed in OFF GAME rooms and walls/PMs.
4) In this roleplay it is important to pay attention to the admins' instructions. Please keep checking the game status & updates room frequently and before posting in an IN GAME room as we might freeze or unfreeze IN GAME rooms at times. When disagreeing with an admin, we ask for politeness. We are human, too, so we might make mistakes, but we will do our best to be fair to everyone.
5) Activity is set for 14 days. Inactive roleplayers might be removed during sporadic activity checks or when other people want to apply for their face claim. To prevent that, please notify us about your hiatus (up to 30 days) in the game status & update room.
6) If you want to change your username or face claim you will have to start anew. Your video game character will not continue on the same rank as your old one but as a novice instead. You can have up to two additional characters using the same face claim if you wish, but please bear in mind that those start off as novice as well and you CANNOT roleplay several at the same time. You need to log off the game before your OFF GAME character can change to another IN GAME character.
Second OFF GAME characters (face claim must be from a different idol group than your first one) will be allowed if you are an active roleplayer.
7) IN GAME killing is allowed. Please bear in mind that every video game character that dies will be resurrected. There is no such thing as game over.
8) Admins will copy and paste your application to your profile. Feel free to add any additional info or use a layout (we recommend to keep the layout clean and simple).
Admins will keep your official item and gold count updated on this spreadsheet to avoid cheating. Feel free to keep count of your items on your profile as well. The price list and gold drop rates of monsters can be found on the second page of the spreadsheet. Please use that as reference.
9) Last but not least, please bear in mind that points will be deducted if you are not following the rules or when your behavior is unfair towards others (god modding, spam posts to gain points etc.). If there are things unclear to you though, please do not hesitate to ask an admin/GM for help. Besides that, we also have an faq that might facilitate your understanding of the roleplay and its details.
