RP Rules and Systems

Once you have created your Character and submitted it to our Discord group, you’re all set and ready to play! We recognize that many players like to roleplay on Facebook as well, but please note that **only roleplay that takes place in our Discord group is considered Canon for all players.** Canon Events by Admins will also only take place on Discord. However, you are still encouraged to share your artworks, literature, and other creative works on any social media platform of your liking.

## ROLEPLAY SYSTEM

RoE offers two systems for the players: **Casual Mode** and **Story Mode**.

For Casual roleplayers, just like any other hashtag roleplay AU, there are no rules aside from the General Rules laid out below. Feel free to use the group's resources to do whatever you want and have fun! The default system of RoE is **Casual Mode.**

For those who would like their Character's actions impact RoE’s plot, you can apply to join the **Story Mode**. Story Mode are **Special** **Plot Altering Quests/Events** that will forward the group's progression. Whenever Story Mode is about to commence, Admins will open a **Registration Form**. There may be an Application Check in this case to assess your Character’s compatibility with RoE’s plot.

[*More information regarding Story Mode will be revealed as the group progresses.*]

All players have full access to all of our Group Features. These features below are considered as Advanced Group Features and participation is completely optional. The features include the Adventure Journal System, Point System, Achievement System, Quest & Event System, and Battle System:

### ADVENTURE JOURNAL SYSTEM

After submitting your character, all players are encouraged to get the Adventure Journal as it will keep track of your character progress. As of now, one Adventure Journal can only keep track of 3 Main Characters and 3 NPCs.

For those who are only interested to roleplay casually, **you are allowed to leave your Adventure Journal blank**. For those who wish to access advanced features such as Battle System and Points System, you need to understand how to use the Adventure Journal. As always, don’t hesitate to ask the Admins any questions!

### POINT SYSTEM

In RoE, players may earn Points through submitting artworks, literature, and other creative works revolving around their Character’s life in RoE. In addition to those submissions, Points can also be earned through participating in Quests & Events. Detailed explanation about the Point System can be viewed here.

### ACHIVEMENT SYSTEM

The Achievement System is designed to engage players to conquer challenges and earn unique **Titles**. Admins have prepared a list of Achievements which can be viewed under Adventure Journal > Adventure Log > Achievements. After fulfilling the Achievement’s requirement, players must fill the Adventure Report g-drive form in order to collect the Title reward.

Equipping Titles will give benefits such as additional stats and other special traits. Only one Title can be equipped at a time.

### QUEST AND EVENT SYSTEM

Participating in Quests & Events will earn players rewards. Quests will be posted on The Union Quest board. After completing a quest, players must log it in their Adventure Journal.

There are two types of quests:

1. Side Quest: These quests are for “points grinding” purposes and they can be repeated twice maximum.
2. Main Quest: These quests are part of Story Mode and can only be completed once. They have a time limit and are dependent on finishing the previous quest to unlock the next one.

Events in the RoE are organized to celebrate special occasions that are relevant to the world setting or real-life events. Quests and Events will be released periodically as the group progresses.

### BATTLE SYSTEM

RoE Admins will occasionally host **Official Battle Roleplay Sessions** for Quests and Events, and winning battles will grant player rewards. Players are welcome to host their own **Unofficial Battle Roleplay Sessions**, however, this will not earn players any rewards. Detailed information regarding the battle system can be viewed here.

## GENERAL RULES

General rules are enforced in RoE to maintain a wholesome community. By joining and submitting your application, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to these rules. Any violations of the rules will result in a warning from the Admins. After receiving three warnings, the Player will be permanently banned.

1. RESPECT: Treat everyone with respect. Hate speech or other hateful conduct will NOT be tolerated. Avoid discussing politics, religion and personal drama.
2. RP ETIQUETTE: All RPs must be created in a thread under the respective channel. Consent is key, discuss any proposed actions with fellow players before proceeding. Be mindful as everyone has different levels of RP experience. Avoid god-modding, spamming and ship chasing.
3. AGE RESTRICTION: Our rating is 18+. NSFW content must always be posted in ⁠❗╏nsfw. Do not go against Discord's Community Guidelines (sharing real media depicting gore, excessive violence, or animal harm). Spoiler tag any content that may be triggering, or if someone requests it to be spoiler tagged.
4. LANGUAGE: As this is an international group, please only use English inside the group.
5. APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE: Keep profanities to a minimum. If possible, censor them. This rule also applies in roleplays and submissions.
6. REPORTING ISSUES: If you encounter any problems that could potentially harm the community as a whole, please report directly to the Admins.
7. SUBMISSIONS: We do not accept AI-generated or stolen works submission. Heavily referenced submission must be cited with the original source. Commissioned works will not earn Points.
8. USE CHANNELS AS INTENDED: Keep dice rolls and bot set ups in ⁠⁠🎲╏bot-channel⁠, keep roleplay sessions in the bottom channels marked with "RP:". Keep OOC chat for RPs in their respective OOC channels. Keep headcanon questions in ⁠⁠hc-prompts and headcanon discussions in ⁠hc-commentary.
