Enrollment Instructions

Welcome to Ragnarok: Rise of Einherjar (RoE)! We are an international hashtag roleplay AU based on the Ragnarok Online franchise. RoE is centered on the Gautland Empire, located on Albion, a fan-made original continent in Midgard.

The RoE roleplay AU is open to all, so you do not need to go through an enrollment process in order to start playing.

As of now, RoE is only accepting **Adventurer** Character also known as **Main Character (MC)**. In the near future, Admins will allow creations of Non-Adventurer Character also known as **NPC.**

To join RoE, players must create a Character and submit them on the **character-sheet channel** in our Discord group.

General Enrollment Instructions:

* Before starting, players should read The Guide Book to understand the group setting, as the Character Creation process will heavily rely on this knowledge.
* Writers are allowed to use commissioned artwork for their Application Sheet but AI-generated works are prohibited.
* Players are free to submit an unlimited number of Characters, however, **only 3 Main Characters are allowed to accumulate Points.**
* Refrain from editing your submission after it has been submitted unless it's a minor change.
* Admin may request revisions if your application deviates from the guidelines. Q&A on Discord and our Facebook Group (Portal) is always open and encouraged.

## Main Character Creation Guideline

The premise of RoE is about **Adventurers** hailing to Gautland after accepting the Quest. The Call lacks information about what kind of "attack" Gautland is facing, but the Emperor himself to put forward an official request for Adventurers' help while promising a sizeable reward, you presume it must be important. Optionally, your Character might have a grasp of the situation if they are aware of Gautland's History.

Players are free to explore their creativity. Your character can be anything and anyone, coming from any background. However, if your character is a High-ranking Noble from Gautland, you are required to consult with an Admin as Gautland already has a list of existing Noble Houses. Please also note that your characters are summoned to Gautland to solve a crisis that will include difficult battles, so if your character is a beginner (or weak), please provide a reasonable motive for why they chose to risk coming to Gautland. (ex: perhaps they are desperate for money / they are searching for a lost loved one)

### About Job Class

For those who are not familiar with Ragnarok Online, Job Class (Job) are character professions unique to the Ragnarok Universe. In RoE, Job will also become the highlight of your Character. In the original game, Characters start out as Novices (except Doram race), then once they reach a certain Job Level, they can Job Change to the next tier. The tiers are as follow: Novice > Job 1 > Job 2 > Job 2 Transcendent > Job 3 > Job 4.

For simplicity, RoE has eliminated this system and **players are free to skip to the Job you want right from the start**, **in exception of Job 4 which is locked for now**. A total of 70+ Jobs are available for players to choose from, each having its own distinctive role, skills, and attire. The explanation for each jobs can be found here. For convenient viewing, Admins have also compiled all of the Jobs' Official Artworks in an Album in our Facebook Group or in this G-Drive folder.

Choosing to start at different Tiers have its own advantages and disadvantages. For instance, if you start out as Novice, naturally your Character will be disadvantaged in Battle Sessions. However, completing Job Change Quests rewards you with exclusive benefits that are otherwise inaccessible for those who started out already at Job 3.

Finally we would like to remind you that Battling is not the main feature of RoE, roleplaying is. So just choose any Job that catches your interest regardless of strength. We assure you that there is no bad Job in RoE as they will all play its own distinct role in RoE's plot moving forward!

### About Race

in RoE, players can choose between 4 races: Human, Elf, Halfling, and Doram. In RoE's lore, the race percentages are 80% human, 10% Elves, 5% Halfling, and 5% Doram, however as this is an open hashtag RP, applicants are not restricted to this ratio. Humans, Elves, and Halflings have access to change to all Jobs except for Summoner/Spirit Handler.

1. Human: humans are the main race of Midgard. Humans' lifespan can go up to 100 y.o.
2. Elves: elves are not original inhabitants of Midgard. the history of elves can be read here. Elves' lifespan can go up to 500 y.o. Please note that the Elves of Gautland are extinct. So your elves must come from somewhere else within Midgard.
3. Halfling: halflings are half human half elf. Halflings' lifespan can go up to 300 y.o.
4. Doram: dorams are cats that have adapted to walking on two legs and speak the common language. They come in various sizes and forms. Dorams only have the job aptitude to become a Summoner (job 1)/ Spirit Handler (job 2). Dorams' lifespan can go up to 150 y.o.

### About Pet

The Pet System is unique to Ragnarok Online. It allows Adventurers to tame certain monsters to become personal pets. Pets will grant bonus stats to their owners, with the amount depending on their level of difficulty to catch.

in RoE, players are allowed to choose from this selection of Common Pets to bring along from the start (choose 1 only):

Pets can be nicknamed and they can wear their original accessories or your custom creation. The stats bonus and the complete list of pets can be seen here.
