Custom Characters

If none of the characters quite fit what you want to play, or they’ve already been taken, worry not, you can make your own! These Characters are for players who actively immerse themselves in roleplay and the world around them, as they become stronger and more well known in the lands of Arda and forge their name in the books of history.

Custom Characters have some key features to them. They have Tiers and can move up in tier. They have the ability to forge new weapons and armour to make them stronger than the average item. They are actively connected to roleplay and receive bonuses for quality RP.

 **Tiers**

Custom Characters can be either Tier 1, 2, or 3, and have the ability to move between their tiers. A player can start on any tier and can move up and down if they desire. The requirements for tiers are as follows:

Tier 1: 1k Home Faction Alignment, 500 Coins, 2 “Approved” Submissions to #roleplay (more on this in Roleplay)

Tier 2: 1.5k Home Faction Alignment, 1200 Coins, 3 “Approved” #roleplay Submissions, Leader (Tier 3-4)/Second-in-Command/Lord

Tier 3: 2k Home Faction Alignment, 2000 Coins. 5 “Approved” #roleplay Submissions, Leader (Tier 4-6)/Tier 6 Second-in-Command

Custom Characters will be demoted a tier if they no longer fulfil their tier’s requirements. They may move up or down a tier once per week. There may only be 5 Custom Characters within 1 Realm.

### **Forging**

Fame and Fortune can bring a person great power, and Custom Characters are no exception. Rather than receiving generic maxed-out gear when you become a character, Custom Characters unlock the ability to forge their weapons and armour, with stronger items the higher their tier.

Custom Characters may only forge 1 item every 2 days. Custom Characters may forge 1 Full set of Armor, 1 Main Weapon, and 1 Secondary Weapon. (Note: Secondary Weapon must be a lower tier than their Main Weapon)

Weapons require Alignment to forge and cost coins and Material. Higher Tiers have better bonuses, but require the Custom Character to be that tier, and cost more. The cost and Bonuses are listed below:

800 Coins
16 Ingots of Weapon Material
1000 Coins

### **Roleplay**

**Custom Characters place themselves into our lore with powerful heroics, adventure, and rulership. To help simulate this, we require our Custom Characters have submitted to #roleplay previously to achieve the role and to continually submit to #roleplay every few weeks, but we reward those who post good-quality submissions more often.**

**Players wishing to become a custom character must submit a post to #roleplay and then ask Admins to evaluate it for becoming an approved submission. If the Admins deem the submission of good quality and lore-appropriate, the submission will be labelled as “Approved” and become both a part of the lore and count for a future Custom Character application, provided it is about said Character. Different tiers require different amounts of Approved Submissions.**

Tier 1 requires 2 Approved Submissions

Tier 2 requires 3 Approved Submissions

Tier 3 requires 5 Approved Submissions

**Like Lore Characters, Custom Characters require submissions to #roleplay every six weeks, with reminders at 2 and 1 weeks remaining. If the submissions are deemed too low-quality, they will receive 2 weeks to redo them.**

Custom Characters who want to go over the top with their roleplay are eligible for Benefits! Every extra #roleplay submission that is deemed acceptable quality by Admins will earn the Character 1000 coins, 10 gold ingots, and 1 mithril Ingot, with a limit of 1 rewarded submission per week.
