| Character updates
This is something we likely should have started a long time ago, but we didn't. The idea is to help management and everyone keep in touch with each others' stories and the action going on. Please update often, and please read the updates for other characters. This is all to help RP! The basic idea:Write brief summaries about current events that are happening to your character. These can just be a sentence or a short paragraph.- This does not need to be updated after every RP, merely ones that had significant action (either to the main storyline or to your own personal one) or you simply wish to.
- You should note more general information that may not have been RPed specifically such as a character absence, health status, and any other important character changes.
- You can (and should) include more than one piece of information in each post, though try to refrain from making them overly long.
- Ideally, this should be updated at least once a week, and no one will complain if you do it more often.
Knowledge level:Optional, but if you wish the information to have a certain level of IC knowledge within the dream, feel free to note that along with your information. Keep in mind that management may review and alter that if necessary. Some possibilities include: OOC knowledge only, private to specific characters, rumoured, known.Where to post it:Please post all character updates in the thread titled for your character in the Character Updates section (this one). If you don't have a thread (either we missed it or haven't made it yet), please make one. Examples:- Elwena pissed on Trylstrian's feet and now he hates her. (possibly rumoured, no exact details)
- Mereavus skinned Violet. (OOC knowledge only)
- Uhtred killed a man and wore his jawbone in a fit of madness. (OOC knowledge only except for Garnett and Uhtred.)
- A servant attacked Uhtred and Garnett in their quarters, and Uhtred killed him in self-defence. (known)
- Synaria left for Nyrthlond. (known)
----------------------- Character SynopsisOptional, but recommendedThe first post of your Character Update thread is reserved for a synopsis of your character's storyline since its beginning in the Nharati RP. While we would like to see everyone do this, the task for some of the characters is rather daunting and time-consuming, so it may simply not be possible. Because the threads were started by the admin user, you will need to send your synopsis to one of the managers (preferably via forum PM) so that the original post can be edited. | |

| Just a reminder, folks, to try to keep up-to-date on this. It's extremely helpful from a management perspective to have frequent short updates on what is happening with characters, and it make it more likely that your character happenings will be incorporated into the broader plot.
If you don't have a thread yet, make one!
(And try not to be like me and wait until it's ridiculously long to update. I promise I'll do better) | |
