Casual RP

Casual RP is just as the name implies: casual roleplaying. Nothing done here is considered canon, and it's a chill place where you can talk and act in-character. To play in casual, simply ping the "Looking for Casual" role to start!

## Character Canon

Actions taken in casual play, while not server canon, can be considered Character Canon. Character Canon means your characters remember certain people or events that have taken place in casual play. Romantic relationships, rivalries, friendships, whatever might happen between two characters falls under this type of canon. This applies to all casual roleplaying, or even non-canon campaigns if your DM allows it, but keep in mind you should ask who you RP'd with if they are okay with it. This prevents one character from knowing another and keeping a consistent to casual roleplay.

If, at any point, you would like to make the so-called "Character Canon" part of your character's canonical backstory, resubmission of the character with the created canon as part of their biography is required, as well as the consent of the player and the resubmission of their character. We would like to keep continuity in our roleplay, so please follow these guidelines.

## Swardani City

Swardani City is the place where all casual play takes place. It is, like the name implies, a city, with tall buildings and many places to visit. Listed below are the places you are free to RP:

### Hunter Association Headquarters

The least used RP spot due to its setting, the Hunter Association Headquarters (HAH) is exactly what it sounds like. The headquarters of the Hunter Association.

### Hunters Tavern

The Hunters Tavern is a place Hunters can get food, drinks, sit down and talk. There are multiple places in the tavern you can explore. There are rooms to sleep in if your character needs it. There are televisions, karaoke machines, almost anything you need by ***THE POWER OF CONVINIENCE.*** Due to the nature of the tavern, Nen is no secret here, as everyone there is a Hunter.

#### Hunters Tavern Bar

The bar is where you can get alcohol. There is a bartender NPC who will get you what you need, however, no one plays them. Feel free to sit down and get a drink, get drunk, and have fun.

#### Hunters Tavern Lounges

The lounge is a place to relax. Whatever your character may need to help with this, the lounge most likely has. Couches, chairs, TVs, whatever.

#### Hunters Tavern Private Rooms

The private rooms are a place your characters can go to avoid being interrupted. While the previous spots are free for everyone to join, the private rooms are exclusive for you and whoever you are playing with. Unless you were invited, avoid entering unannounced. Likewise, joining here and expecting someone to join you will yield poor results.

### Shingen Ryu Dojo

The Shigen Ryu Dojo is a combat oriented RP spot. Characters that don't like to fight often avoid this spot, as entering usually means you'll be greeted with an opponent. The dojo is unmoderated combat, meaning it is up to you and your opponent to decide how interactions play out. Keep in mind, "unmoderated" means there is no Arbiter, and does not mean your actions are not watched.

### Fordstan University

A school, with libraries and classrooms and courtyards. Characters looking to learn or research are found here, usually sharing information they have found or asking for information they'd like to know.

### Swardani Streets

The streets are unstructured play. Other than buildings and cars that are around, the streets are usually empty.

### Swardani Suburbs

The suburbs are filled with houses rather than big buildings. Characters might live here, or visit people who live here.

## Battle Olympia

Under the "Combat Arena RP" tab, the Battle Olympia is moderated combat taking place at the top of Heaven's Arena. The arena is a 50 ft x 50 ft square, with 25 tiles attached to it. The Battle Olympia is DM'd by Arbiters, using the 10-point system from Heaven's Arena. By participating in the Battle Olympia, your character's record is shown on the scoreboard. When a battle is over, the fighters are interviewed by a member of the Hunter Association News Network.

### Battle Olympia Etiquette

In the Battle Olympia, all fights are separate from one another. Every fight should be treated like the character's first fight, meaning you shouldn't reference previous battles. In roleplay, all interactions are decided by the arbiter. Powerplaying and metagaming are prohibited, and can result in forfeit of the battle.
