Joining

While the Rules page details at length the nuances of creating and playing a character and his companions in the world of Ourissa, the actual steps for joining the RPG are listed here, to make them easier to read and checklist. Joining the RPG is done through email to Eldoreth@gmail.com, just as any action in the game is. Please label your email as Joining, and follow the process below step by step.

Step 1 - Contact Information

Please list the email you would like put on the site, as well as the name of the message board account you will use for the boards. Please list the email even if it is the same as the email you are using to send the joining application.

Step 2 - Squad type and location

Please list what government you want to be affiliated with, and what location you want to start the RPG in. These do not have to be the same, but if they are not I reserve the right to refuse the request. The four options for squad type are Varanian, Ayotyan, Tribal or Mercernary. Just because you are Varanian or Ayotyan does not mean you are an agent of that military or government, it simply means you consider yourself a citizen of that nation.

Step 3 - Companion number, names and stats

Please give a squadron name, as well as the names and starting statistics of your squad leader and each of his Companions, as well as use their starting EXP scores and stat points to assign them starting statistics and abilities. Use the charts below in regards to how many points each character recieves for that particular starting number of companions. After that, you may use your starting gold to buy equipment for those characters. Note that at character creation you may classchange without it taking an action to do so, though it still costs EXP points, and you may spend gold in rural areas on items normally only purchaseable in cities.

Note: Where seperated by /'s below, the first number is used for the squad leader and subsequent for companions. EXP pools are split between one pool used for the leader and a second pool to be split between all the companions. Every character must have at least 10 total EXP and a minimum of a 1 in each statistic. For reference on the statistics review the Rules page.

0 Companions at starting
100 gold +5 per Sunday
25 stat points
120 exp

1 Companion at starting
100 gold +5 per Sunday
20/20 stat points
100/90 exp

2 Companions at starting

100/120 exp

3 Companions at starting
100 gold +5 per Sunday
20/10/10/10 stat points
100/120 exp

Step 4 - Character history

Write out a history of a minimum of a half a page for your characters. Exceptionally well written histories will earn the squad bonus experience at starting. When the squad is accepted, please post this history on the Profiles section of the message board.

Welcome to the game, and Good Luck in Ourissa.
