A Mori'quessir Without Apps?

[Solan (Elite117) 82]

Vendui rethors lu'dalninin. Today I come before you, the player-base of LotC, on behalf of the Mori to ask your opinion on a certain idea. You see, the number of Mori the race has had has never been completely up to our satisfaction. And most players find it is not to their satisfaction that they do not get the chance to rp with our unique race due to our lack of players. Now this issue has gone through much debate and today we bring you an idea that we believe might solve our problems. To put it very simply; we will get rid of the Mori application. What we will do instead is use an entirely new system. This system involves a player going to our sub-forum and register a new character as the child of one current female Mori characters. This player will then be able to play this proto-character but they are forced to start in the early teen/late childhood phase. This children will then be raised and taught the lore and customs of the Mori by more experienced players. Once it is deemed you have spent enough time with the Mori and your proto-character has learned all the lore and customs it will be allowed to reach adulthood. Becoming a full member of Mori society. It should be noted that what is considered lore for the Mori OOCly is considered unspoken laws ICly. Which if they are broken means either the death or mutilation of your proto-character. We would also reserve the right to perm-kill your proto-character through IC means. For example, let us say that a player creates a proto-Mori. This player then has their proto-Mori go up to the surface for increasing periods of time. They then rp that their character can now see unaided during the day because they 'built up an immunity' (a very dumb thing to do seeing as a Mori can travel in the day wearing a veil). The Priestesses of the Mori will see this act as a desecration of the Mother's gifts to that Mori. The Mother being the chief goddess of the Mori and her gift being the ability to see in the dark. Because that Mori destroyed their night vision, they destroyed a gift from the Mother. The Priestesses would then have Mori warriors track down said proto-Mori, bring it to the temple and sacrifice it to the Mother. Effectively perma-killing that character. This will most likely happen to any other such breaches in lore. So tell us what you think in the poll above or the thread below.

This could indeed possibly work. The only problem i'm worried about is that some very bad roleplayers may try to be Mori and go out in the sunlight with no protection and other things.

I would make a Mori app. But I have no idea where I'm going in the cave.

I know it can seem daunting at first but, believe me, you learn to find your way. Its not that big of a city. ^^

I would hope, I would hope, as Moris seem quite the classy folk.

[Merkaken 516]

Touche. Yeah, seems like an alright idea.

The right to perma kill characters are always highly controversial, as the other player may deem that 'its not right'. But then again it is in the Terms and Agreement of being a Mori, so I'm hoping there isn't any of that kind of issue in the ban reports.

But what I want to hear is a admin clarification on the right for the Mori group to perma kill proto-characters. Not a GM, a admin. As only admins have the right to perma kill characters.

[Praetor 1550]

We wouldn't be for it upon them since they would have agreed to it, and thus would have to comply willingly.

Also, this doesn't mean an applicant shouldn't read the lore, they should all do that.

[Elfen_ 232]

Actually, this could as well work. I think it is more fun to be taught and if you go to far out of bounds playing a Mori, you get perma-killed. I do not have an issue with that.

[Dargene 51]

I would probably have a character with the mori if it was like this.

[Izo (charles/Sealhorn) 16]

not certain I'll make a Mori terribly soon with my present LotC projects, but I'd like this system to open up the race to the community a bit more, want more diverse cultures to play a bigger role in LotC/Asulon

[Samoblivion 532]

I've been thinking of making another alt. Why not a Mori? I think being a child would be a perfect way to learn about the Mori culture.

[Cyndikate 2303]

If I were to make a Mori assassin, who were to only be in Menocress occasionally rather than never and the veil will be RP'd at all times.

Is that allowed? Or am I bound to be in Menocress? Would that be breaking the lore?

Can I choose what type of parent I'd like to be with? Because sometimes what happens in adulthood, resulted from childhood.

Sorry for these questions, I'd like to understand the Mori a bit more. I'd really like to join, and I thought it'd be a great idea to RP as a child.

[Solan (Elite117) 82]

That's a rather slippy slope to go down. What I like to do with my character is if he has been outside the peninsula for Mori then a irl hour he starts to get a stomach ache. Which forces him back to the Mother's land. Most Mori would see activities outside the Mother's land as 'socialization with the filth' unless it is for some higher propose that furthers the race, such as slaving or gathering supplies. I would highly urge you to have your character in Menorcress and the surrounding area most time. But you really don't have to worry about this until adulthood seeing as you will be playing a proto-Mori from a few months. We really look down on child assassin living on the surface. Child will be staying in the city for a majority of the time. As for parentage, it is partually up to you. We will have a list of females you can choose from and you decide which one.
