Greetings to all
I am Vilmos Draven as most of know, I have gotten some questions on certain things I hope to make smoother.
1. Creating a Character:
Here on Murnau you can pick any race from the character guides
on the home page. Click on Races of the realm and you'll be taken to a page of different races that inhabit Murnau. You may create up to Five characters on one account. So after your done choosing your race your going to want to write up a character sheet on your hero.
In the same board for races you'll click on a race you want and another list shall pop up. There should be a character Sheet Template for that race. You'll notice key figures in this are but you may ignore this for now.
So when the race template is up you'll see things like Name, Personal Description, Background, and Equipment.
A.Name: Name is quite simple hopefully you have already thought of a name.
B. Personal Description: Personal Description is where you will describe your character's appearance, age, and race.
C. Background: The Background of your character will delve into your character's past and describe things about them such as homeland, and family, flaws, and qualities, etc.
For Qualities and Flaws might be hard to come up with even family so i do not mind if you leave them blank when you start out. But Qualities and Flaws describe what their strengths and weaknesses are. If you need help here please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Equipment: Equipment is just the armor, weapons, or artifacts your character may have gathered before or during your stay on here. Please be creative as you want with this.
Further Info:
So when you create the character sheet your either staff or member and they should be posted into the board at the bottom of the home page. (Staff Character Sheets/ Member Character Sheets are the two board names.)
When you finished there pick where you would like to write your adventures in one of the Provinces on the homepage. There are many to choose from. In each province there is a sub-board which will be a Province Epic (ex. Esperan Epics, Canil Epics) These are the sub-boards for the members to write their stories.
I hope this quick guide helps with any questions on Creating a character if not contact me.
P.S. When you post notice the little menu called "Add Tags" here you are able to bold, italics, underline, cross through your text. There is more then I listed just wanted to show examples.
2. Staff Roles:
Also this is another thing I was vague on. Here I'd like to explain some of the staff roles so you'll have a better understanding of what is to be expected.
With staff your job is to act as moderator and member.
-Moderator as you will watch over your OWN board and keep up to date on the stories members are writing. With the members permission you can edit any grammar. Just basically making sure people abide your rules for your board and the rules for the whole site.
-Member as you will create your own stories and ideas.
More Info:
You will create events/quests which members will role play. I need people who will be committed to this role and help lead other members and staff who need assistance. Any staff on this site are the rulers of a certain province you only hold sway on that province I don't expect you to be on someone Else's board making or enforcing rules unless it's a serious matter.
3. How do Vampires/Strigoi Questions:
Here is a list of questions that I get commonly asked.
Q. How are Vampires/Strigoi in Murnau made?
A. The Vampires/Strigoi in Murnau are made when another
Vampire/Strigoi drains the blood from a character then feeds the
drained victim a bit of their own blood. Yes, there is another way to become a Strigoi which is by powerful ancient spells, but please just because I have stuff posted on here doesn't mean your characters are all going to do it. Just for now stick to the Vampire/Strigoi draining. Also, Necromer are the only race that cannot become a Strigoi.
Q. How Do Vampires/Strigoi die?
A. Vampires/Strigoi are not old typical vampires in stories. They do not burn up in sunlight, instead their powers drop drastically. A steak in the heart will not kill them either, merely paralyze them. Vampires/Strigoi can only be killed by decapitation and or burning.
Registering a new account on World of Murnau
Q. My account says it's not activated, what should I do?
A. When you registered on World of Murnau you gave an email to register with. Go to the email and there should be an email that has a link that will activate your account after you click it.
Please any questions you may have directed towards me on a subject post it here!!!
Thank you,
