✮THE FAQ✮

Character FAQ

1. Where are we?
In the Krimmenos, a haven for rescued spirits the Orpheads have stolen from the Underworld.

2. So am I dead?
Yes. You should have heard a small voice in your head telling you as much when you arrived:
Welcome, Spirit. We have brought you back from death to our haven, The Krimmenos. We are sorry, but you may not leave--not if you wish to stay alive.


3. Why don't I remember dying?
That would be a traumatic thing to remember, wouldn't it? You were walked across the Lethe, like all spirits, only when we brought you here, we restored your memories. Except for those of your death.

4. Why are we here?
You were wrongly taken by Death. We have restored you to life here in our sanctuary. He needs to learn fairness, and we are going to teach it to Him.

5. Can we leave?
No. I am sorry, but if you journey beyond the barrier, Death will find you again. That we cannot allow. I should hope, though, that you prefer life over death.

6. But I need this specific thing to survive?
Not anymore. Though, I suppose the mind is a powerful thing. If you must have it, it will be in the room you choose.

7. Where do I stay?
There are rooms in the main building. You may choose any of them so long as they aren't already occupied. Please choose the one you will be most comfortable in. There are some more modern than others.

8. What about food?
Again, you don't technically need it, but there is a feast hall in the main building. Food and drinks will be there.


Player FAQ

1. What characters are allowed?
Characters are allowed from any fandom. OCs and fandom OCs are also allowed. Non-humanoid characters will be accepted on a case-by-case basis and may need to be sized down or take a humanoid form for play in the game. If in doubt, ask. We're more than happy to answer questions.

2. But my character is undead?
They're still dead when they arrive. The "death" that brought them to the Krimmenos would be the one where they were slayed/decapitated/otherwise destroyed for the second time. They will remember the event that made them undead (if applicable) but not the second that brought them to the Krimmenos.

3. But at my canon point my character isn't dead.
That's fine! Characters don't remember their deaths as the Orpheads have chosen to essentially remove that memory, so whatever happened last at their canon point is what they'll remember. There might have been an unexpected car accident, building explosion, piano falling from the sky, or something else entirely, but characters won't remember anything about dying.

4. What about powers?
Powers are not limited in game, but please try not to god-mode with them.

5. How about double characters?
To a limited extent, characters may be doubled, if the doubles are from two different versions of a fandom or world. For example, there could be a Leonard Nimoy Spock and a Zachary Quinto Spock, or a Kingdom Hearts Cloud and a FFVII-verse Cloud. However, there may not be two characters from the same version of a world.

6. How many can I app?
Currently, the character limit is 5, with a potential sixth slot available with mod permission. This limit may change later depending on activity levels.

7. What's the AC?
AC is two threads, at least 10 comments long. The mods reserve the right to make exceptions to AC as needed. Failing to meet an AC will require double activity to keep the character in game the next month. Failing two ACs will result in removal from the game and a re-app may not be submitted until the next month, assuming the character has not been apped in the interim.

can I just check something?

"AC is two threads, at least 10 comments long."

is that 10 comments for each thread, or ten comments altogether?

I thought so! I just kept reading it both ways because I was out of it, haha.
