For your leisure, we have this handy dandy TL;DR overview of Ostensibly!
SETTING:
Classic Isekai RP that begins with your character's death in the Modern World. They are summoned by one of the three current leaders of an island continent named Odendum. Ivo Aurum, the son of the Dead King, conquers Fierve in the northern hemisphere. Elrinith Goth, the high priestess of the Church of Lunar, conquers Vescent in the central hemisphere. Barnabas Meliotus, the survivng admin of an old thug gang, conquers Stratous in the southern hemisphere. Pledge your allegiance, or stay loyal to yourself. But you're stuck in this world!
RULES:
Respect your peers - Don't be a dick, man.
No Flaming, Baiting, or Sympathy Fishing - Don't be annoying, don't push buttons on purpose, don't use us as your therapist. You get the idea.
No Godmodding - You control your character and your character only. Also, try not to be a Mary Sue.
Literacy - Some working knowledge of English and grammar is greatly appreciated.
Activity - Be up front about your ability and notify your partners of absences. If you are totally inactive, even in the discord, for 6 months, your FC will be confiscated.
Accounts and Alts - 1 character per account with a 3 character max to start with. Last character you made needs to be approved before the next can be accepted.
Face Claims - Be thoughtful. Animanga style only to fit site aesthetic. Child FCs cannot be aged up to adults. Don't be weird.
Face Claim Reservation - Can reserve up to 2 FCs at a time with a deadline of 2 weeks. Can extend once.
CHARACTER CREATION:
hop into [[ this ]] thread to get your code and fill out the prompts. you will need to name your post HERONAME (hero name, all caps) and stick to the format! you will need to fill out bio, abilities and make an inventory post before your hero can be approved.
ADVANCEMENT:
We do not rely on a training system. With enough participation in events, side quests, and even just character development, you can level up regularly! Once you feel like you've earned the right to level up your character, you may plead your case in the [[ Level Up ]] thread!
COMBAT:
Much is left up to the player, the setting and character sheet you lay out, and the honor system! There is no rigid system to follow, but we do encourage you to go into threads with an open mind; you cannot always win, you will not always dodge, and you will not always overpower your opponents with great ease. have fun!
