Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

The Kharajyr are anthropomorphic cat people created by the daemon Metztli to be her followers. They originated from the Empire of Karakatua up until its eventual destruction from a volcano eruption. They tend to be a very prideful race. They are especially this way in service to their deity, Metztli, whom they call Muuna in their native tongue. There are a variety of Kharajyran subraces with Tigrasi and Pantera being considered the two strongest of them. Leoparda and Cheetrah have less muscle mass than their brethren but tend to be the most dexterious of the Kharajyr.  The traditional aesthetic of Kharajyr tend to take after Mesoamerican cultures, particularly the Aztecs, but it isn’t uncommon for people to mix in some Egyptian or even some Islamic cultures. 

They are biologically different from the Descendants, unable to breed with them and they do not show much of their true age untill about 130-160 years of age. Though they are able to live upwards 200, but that is rare.

The clopping of wood against stone could be heard in increasing loudness as the two conversed. Approaching them was a figure in garbs not unlike those by farfolk, crimson robes with sandals and a straw hat which obscured his face against the sun. When it got close enough to the group the details of his visage could be seen, it was clear he was no human but some horrid blue thing that masked it’s face in theatrical makeup. The thing rested it its arm on a swordhilt at its side and leaned into the couple as if doing a bow.

“If manzflesh talkingz about the zea, no one knowz more, not more than me.

Gobboman travelz all over the water, lotz o’ talez from the maelzstromz like the onez of you’z daughter.

For instanze, take this advize I can whip. Itz da motion of da ocean, not the size of da ship!”

The strange man would do a laugh and give a toothy tusked grin at the group before inviting himself to sit down.

“Zo what iz wantz from the blue expanze, az it’ll kill youz if youz givez it the chanze.

Perhapz lat wantz what help I can give. Why not do buziness, with ol’ Beetlegib?”

It wasn't even much RP tbh, I just /damage 20'd and gave them all my belongings. However, I usually PK to pretty low-quality RP anyways, so it's nothing out of the ordinary to me.

 

As far as Daisy's character goes, she still has a good bit of development to go and I enjoy playing her, yet I feel like I may have gone a bit too dark and dramatic with her, to the point where she doesn't seem all that halfling-like anymore.

regioning should be of cities and no more.

I think this should be for every "Nation". The only hard regions should be around the actual city.

The duty of keeping unwanted "guests" from building fortifications in their reach  should fall upon the nation and be dealt with either by force or diplomacy.

Shouldn't be a problem if a nation wants to be active. Would let people actually do something instead of them hoarding land.

-Stop dragging the moderation teams feet about lack of plugins to enforce the policies, I know there is a way to check activities to nations and keep them in check. Why cant nations rise and fall and fail to earn their keep. We have nations holding swaths of land with no players to back it up.

 

But seriously, it really does feel like a favorites or grandfathering game.

I personally think it should make the requirements to achieve "Nation" status more transparent, or do away with it and let people earn/buy the functions of one somehow instead of having a meaningless divide between settlements. So far it seems "Nation" status only means the place is older, not that its necessarily active and thriving.

It really isn't fun to see a static map or huge overgrown cities.

Objection.

 

If such a creature were playable. It would be stated in the official lore pages.

Wiki is outdated.

Thank you Phoenix Wright lol.

Could you please link me to the proper channels? The wiki is what I've been using as the basis of my lore knowledge since its what was linked at the top of the forum.

Its kind of misleading (and a bit counter intuitive) to have it gilded as such when its not meant to be canon. ?

Dunno if something's changed, but I don't think Sirens are playable characters. They're played by the event team

MC Name: BittaBoBittoBa

Character's Name: Nefyth

Character's Age: 21

Character's Original Race: N/A

Transformed(?) form: Siren

MC Name: BittaBoBittoBa

RP Name:  ((My current one? Calypso Sajnai ))

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

It's an old wive's tale that any seaman wanting a safe voyage should keep his wits about and ignore any beautiful singing heard while sailing, for that is the nefarious call of the Siren. Sirens are particularly nasty creatures who live near the jagged shorelines, hoping to entice sailors with their voice and moor their ships on the rocks. Most who heed the call don't make it back. They're typically drowned or even eaten by the cruel sirens, with their beautiful voices and perverted form. Looking as a person from afar, but on closer expection their lower half is like that of a bird with talons and all. 

It's not really known whether or not the sirens use the sailors to make soup, but they say if you survive the encounter you come back wiser and more intelligent. But a wise and intelligent person would probably try to avoid the encounter in the first place.

Do you have a magic(s) you are dropping due to this app? If so, link it:  No

Do you agree to keep the MT updated on the status of your magic app by using the Magic List Errors topic?: That sounds fair.

Are you aware that if this creature's lore is undergoing an activity trial and that trial fails, you will no longer be able to play this creature and will be forced to either revert the character back to its normal form (if it was a transformative type) or stop playing the character entirely (if it is an entirely new creature)?:  That also sounds fair.

Do you consent to accepting what may happen to this character?: Yes daddy.
 

Have you applied for this creature on this character before, and had it denied? If so, link the app:  No, and I hope this won't be the first one!

Yes, of course, but I don't think this really deals with my question, y'know? Like, that doesn't touch the contradiction between transgender and abolishing gender roles.

0

 

I personally feel transgender issue has more to deal with orientation and the pursuit of happiness than it does gender roles, yes that may not make much sense but uhm.

After all, a lot of it has to deal with someone's psyche and being comfortable in their own flesh.

You're simply not going to abolish the idea of gender roles, they may dissipate or homogenize however.

But I really don't see how that would affect the roles themselves, all it really affects is the individual and the perception from others.

Because if a Man transitions to being a woman and decides undertake feminine things like opening a boutique. Its not a man doing girly things, its a women who was formally a man doing things that she feels is feminizing.

Of course, that is if you believe that the whole transgender identity thing is legitimate.

Being non-binary however...its in awkward spot since a lot of language and ideas revolve around there being two spectrums to flotate between.

I have no real comment on them though.

One can be masculine without being male, and one can be feminine without being female, what constitutes either changes on the culture.

You can't abolish gender (its a construct of society and language), but you can stop thinking either is limited to their affiliated roles.

Afterall, I couldn't survive on this dear planet without my fantastic femboys!

okiii thank yous!

:o ok , just one more question: Do I spell out all my inventory like I do on vanilla minecraft?

Hey: When I was reading roleplay rules, there was a section on presumably RP combat.

It said that if the sides can't agree on the method of combat, it defaults to 'mechanics' combat?

Whats does this exactly mean? Does it means using vanilla minecraft combat?

If so, I understand combat shouldn't be initiated without good cause, but do I have to rely on an honor system that people won't just kill me while I'm AFK or just doing some OOC things?

Or is there some sort of toggle to enter into PVP like that?

I'm just asking since I came from a server where you needed an RP reason to raid....but almost every raid was PVPers using some shallow and vague "We're bandits!" excuse to just kill peeps.

If that isn't what defaulting to mechanics combat means, what does it mean?

Definitions

What is roleplaying?: Taking up the visage of another person or character, and acting as them to emulate their personality or inventing an identity of your own. For example, Bob from accounting moonlights as Heliodor the Monk in his D&D live action roleplay group on the weekends.

What is metagaming?: Using information from outside of the game/roleplay or gaining information disingenuously gained to further or foil roleplay for personal gain or reason. For example, Father Reinald is a staunch (but bigoted) cleric and he starts befriending  Heliodor the Monk due to their religious convictions. Reinald’s player reads on Heliodor’s background that he’s secretly gay which would conflict with Reinald’s morals. Ergo the player decides to abruptly starts calling Heliodor blasphemous slurs despite the information being unknown to Reinald and nothing else to trigger it.

What is power-emoting (powergaming)?: Performing actions in roleplays that are: absurd for the character to perform, offer no ‘wiggle room’ for the others to react to, dictate what other characters do, or just flat out make no sense in the situation.  For example, one player decides that Heliodor will juggle Reinalds in the air with the lift of his finger and decides that he smacks him so hard with his staff that he flies into space and burns up in the sun into itty bitty pieces before Reinald has time to stand up.

In-Character Information

Character’s name: Calypso Sajnai (formerly “Ma’Kalip”)

Character’s sex: Male

Character’s race: Kharajyr; Kha'Pantera Kha’Cheetrah mixed

Character’s age: 23

Biography: Calypso was born as Bo’Kalip to a humble herder of a village at the foot of a mountain monastery in a plain between the few breaks of jungle in Karakatua. His father did well with livestock and trade, but only as well as someone in an isolated village can. When a small plague hit, he couldn’t afford to keep both Kalip and his bokolos so he had to give Kalip to the monastery.

When taken into the monastery, he was falling a bit behind the other monks and his teacher bestowed him the name Ma’Kalip as a play-on of the priestly title Ja-. His duties consisted of mainly of chores dealing with cleaning and animals, his most important being the coop keeping the messenger birds for communication. It was from constant letters that he got a small glimpse of the outside worlds which instilled wanderlust in him.

Unfortunately, monks are generally poor. But fortunately, calypso had a plan. He would write several letters posing as an estranged viscount who was a distant relative to the recipient and ask for minas to help regain his title in promise to share regained wealth with him. The plan was working but since hoarding money and other personal possessions was frowned upon, Calypso decided to hide it in his teacher’s secret alcohol stash so he’d be at fault if he tried to out him. Calypso told him that he’d only want a portion of it to leave, and that the rest the teacher could do with as he pleased.

One night Calypso snuck out with a pack of things and waited out till the morning so he could buy a Bokolo from his father. He went to where his childhood home once was, only to be greeted by a steward as his father was “Incredibly busy”. While Calypso grew up and became an adult, the world beneath the monastery changed unnoticed by him. Apparently his father had become the new Ra of the village when he was a monk. He bought a bird and went out. When asked for his name he wanted to say Bo’Kalip but didn’t have the heart and just went with Calypso.

Now he’s currently just travelling by himself taking up wherever the wind takes him, he has a particular keenness to being a courier.

Personality:

Traits:

+Mindful: Though it may not always be externally apparent, Calypso usually pays close attention to what's going on. Watching his posture, following the leader, and acknowledging details were a big part of his background. Additionally, this mindfulness has formed a sort of inherent reverence for things. Or at least on the outside, which allows him to fake it long enough to make for pleasant company.

+/-Curious : It’s a cliche for cats to be a curious bunch but this manifested in Calypso from a young age.  Some of his favorite hobbies was collecting bugs and odd finds which still remain today. Unfortunately, He always had his horizons set beyond his small village and it was inevitable that he would have left even before being kicked from his monastery.

+/-Esthetic :  The lighter side of Calypso’s vanity is while he is focused on his looks, he has an affinity for aesthetics in general. He often take’s great pride in decorating spaces. He even used to embroider the robes of fellow monks before his teacher made him stop. He feels aesthetics have a much more powerful effect on the psyche than others may believe, thus it is important think of them.

-Vain : Even while practicing the strictures at the monastery, Calypso was always  focused on his looks and getting caught over petty details. Some of the oft remembered phrases of his teacher were , “Ma’Kalip, why’sa yu waxing yu’s hair when yua needs ta be waxin de floor!” or early in the morning, he’d bang on his room and yell in his old age, “Ma’Kalip! Stoppa polishing yu’s wood, and startsa polishing dem vases! Before yu’s hand cramps!”

Likes:

Bathing

Animals

Seafood

Dislikes:

Confrontation

Insects

Unexpectedness

Ambitions: Becoming an Author: Calypso is bit of a passive individual, so he is in a lack of grand ambitions. The one thing on his mind since leaving his home temple was the prospect of writing about his journey or even writing something smaller like a cookbook. Anything he could stick his name on to be known for.

Talents:

Playing Music: Due to his passiveness, Calypso figures he may never get around to writing some grand book to be known for. But he figured his travelling tales may at least be useful for inspiring songs. He has skill in the sitar and flute that he picked up from his time in the monastery.

Stewardship: Monks in a monastery have to be self efficient and most of the chores in the temple fell to Calypso.  As such, he has skills in tailoring, cooking, washing, and most house chores. One of his favorite hobbies is making his own scented soaps and perfumes for a nice clean bath.

Animal Husbandry: When he was still living in his village, Calypso cared for animals. And when he lived in the monastery he took care of their birds and actually handled the messenger pigeons. One of his memories were of a pig named Bobbit who was huge and would always try to bite Calypso’s toes.

Weaknesses:

Skittish: In spite of all the images of brave collected souls that “monks” inspire, Calypso is far from that. He can actually become quite frightened, even if he tries his best to hide it. He also tends to handle stress poorly when things don’t follow the “plan” he set out in his head.

Hypocritical: In truth, Calypso will preach about the virtues of following the way of Bayla when prompted. And while he does believe in them, he can sometimes act against these beliefs by pure fault. Most notably, he’ll be ready to gamble like a thief when he’s done drinking like a sailor.

Passive: Monks are often disciplined into being passive as this helps them work as a whole and teaches them to respect the whims of their teachers. This has carried with Calypso into his adult life where he is very passive, often as an attempt to avoid conflict. It is sometimes very hard for him to say no.

Appearance: This spot-covered Feline carries with him a slight build and silky skyblue clothing of light composite, which may be seen as immodest even by Kha standards. But they keep him cool, require little upkeep and he finds them quite fashionable. The shape of his head could be considered round for a Kharajyr, with a relatively short muzzle and a “buttoned” nose. He styled the dark fur on his head tofeather back and his eyes are bright piercing blue with slight dark rings around them that taper to the corners of his muzzle. And as for his muzzle, In contrast to his walnut and creme body, it is quite dark like his spots with an almost leathery looking texture. The only light spot here would be around his lips, where they are drawn to with a light beige color and coming to a point to his nose, giving him the appearance of a perpetual smirk.

Hello!

 

When applying to the server you cannot apply as a creature or construct and it must be one of othe main races of the server (And their subraces) : Elf, Human, Orc, Dwarf, Kha, Halfling.

 

After being accepted to the server, theres many different routes that can take your character into becomming different things and this includes some of these creatures, you may also play constructs for other players once accepted such as Golems and Arcane Constructs.

 

 

Personally, I suggest you take in the server with your first character and get into such, and after awhile you may find friends etc who might need a construct played or your character might go down one of those routes where it becomes a creature..

 

 

If you have any questions on applications feel free to pm any of the Application Team, but I wrote this hoping to awnser your inquary on creatures and applying as them.

 

and if any time you have questions of magic, creatures, lore, or the forums you can message me. I'm always willing to help.

Alright, that's all I needed to know. Thank you!

mmmm, not sure how to uh close this thread: But it has been adequately answered!

I'm very new to this server and was directed towards LoTC for minecraft roleplay,

I haven't swam too deeply in the lore but some of the creatures, particularly the Sirens and Cervitaurs catch my interest.

The friend who directed me to here informed me that it is possible make applications for them and I've always liked giving some perspective to background things as these. 

I understand you need to make a character (whitelist) application to be involved in the server.

My queries arrive because I'm wondering if it is allowed to put one of these creatures down as your character application to be white listed?

I tried to find information about it, but I'm either blind or just not looking at the right places.

I get the implication (which may be wrong) that some creatures need to be attatched to a character, such as arcane familiars or puppets.

And I also see that good bit of the creatures wouldn't make viable characters for various reasons, (Such as hostility, lack of sapience, ruin the carpet!).

I don't really have interest in those ones and have no queries regarding them, only things like Cervitaurs and the like.

If its allowed, and I am looking very forward to making a nice full character with them! 

Thank you for answering!
