White Masquerade's Blue Oni
Durarara!! RULES!
Basic Rules.
1. Follow all rpnation rules...be respectful of each other, no harassment, etc.
2. No Godmodding. Only the gm is allowed to do that.
3. Keep all ooc chatter in the ooc thread. That's what it's for.
4. Notify us in the ooc chat if you plan to drop out. I'll just move your character to the neutral characters tab. You don't even have to tell us why if you don't want to. Just an 'I'm dropping out' will suffice. No one will be angry.
Posting Rules
1. All posts in the IC main thread must be a minimum of 2 paragraphs with at least five sentences per paragraph. That's a total of 10 sentences to describe your character's thoughts, actions, setting, and dialogue.
2. I won't say grammar is a must, because typos happen and I make errors all the time, but try to at least make your posts readable. No one can respond to your rp unless they understand it.
3. Every post in one of the IC threads earns you 1 Fame Point, which can be used to purchase npc characters, etc from the Fame Store (see Settings/Locations thread).
4. For every post, have your character's name as the header(bold, underlined, etc) and the amount of fame points your character has accumulated.
5. Your character can do whatever he or she wants(as long as it's in the realm of realism). This is a very open sandbox rp, so feel free to be creative and develop your character in any way you wish. How your character lives in Ikebukuro is up to you.
6. If your character wishes to perform one of the actions, make sure to put in parenthesis the action at the bottom of your post and click the roll dice option on the bottom right of your post. All action dices will be a single dice(unless you purchase another dice with fame points) with 10 faces.
7. You don't get a fame point for double posting cause a merged post counts as one post.
RP Mechanics
1. Stats -- There are three stats in this rp: Investigative ability, fighting ability, social skills. Like real life, your character's natural stats are random. Once your character gets accepted, you will roll three 10-face dices, one for each of the stats. You can improve your character's stats by purchasing stat points from the Fame store with Character Points, which you can allocate in any way you wish.
Investigative ability: Increase your chance of success when trying to hunt for an npc that's hidden or discover a secret.
Fighting ability: Increases your chance of winning a fight.
Social Skills: Increases your chance of befriending an npc and getting them to do what you want.
2. Fame Points -- Points gained by being active in the dollars chatroom. You get one fame point for every post, which you can save and use to purchase from the Fame Store. You can also gain fame points by completing quests and helping npcs. You can purchase cannon characters, additional oc characters, species change, etc. You can even purchase co-gm status!
3. Actions -- You can do whatever you want in the rp, but there are currently 3 actions in which you must roll a dice to make the rp fair: investigating, fighting, and socializing. Investigating is trying to find a hidden npc or discovering a secret your character shouldn't normally know. Socializing is trying to convince an npc to do something...like convincing them to help you find Celty...or asking them for a date. Fighting is any time you wish to harm an npc character/another player character. To indicate that you are performing an action, please roll a dice and put, in parenthesis, at the bottom of your post which action you are performing and towards who.
Example Post:
Character Name
(CP: 8)
RP post. Blah. Blah. Blah. Blah. Wandering the park.
(investigating the park. Looking for Celty.)
Dice Roll
After you roll the dice, I will add the roll with your stats to find your total and determine whether you succeed or fail. If you fail, I will indicate the required total to succeed in your endeavor--which will remain consistent. Even if your character fails the first time, they can always try again. Feel free and be creative with what you want to do, but I won't know what you are trying to do unless you indicate it in parenthesis very clearly. This makes it easier for me. If you do not role the dice, I will assume you are not performing one of the actions...which is totally fine.
More Examples:
Character Name
(CP: 3)
RP post. Blah. Blah. Blah. Blah. "Do you have an idea where Celty might be?"
(socializing with Shinra. Try to get him to tell you all he knows)
Dice Roll
***
Character Name
(CP: 100)
RP post. Blah. Blah. Blah. Blah. He throws a punch at Shizuo.
(Fighting with Shizuo)
Dice Roll
Please note that npcs, unless always available--like Simon--or revealed by the gm, have to be found before interacting with them (investigate). Depending on how may people choose roll the dices, I might not be able to respond right away. Don't panic...I'll get to you. If I'm confused about what your character is trying to do, I will talk to you in the ooc chat. In order to prevent characters punching each other back and forth with no end, a dice should be rolled if you wish to challenge another character to a fight. The higher total(dice + stat) wins. How you rp after that is up to you, but the winner is predetermined. You may choose not to roll a dice and rp your characters beating up fodder npc characters if you wish. The dice is only there if you wish to fight important neutral characters(durarara cannon characters), events/encounter I may throw at you(randomly), or other rper characters.
Other Rules
1. Read everything...otherwise you'll miss out.
2. React to each other. I don't like to see rpers ignored. I understand that not characters will be able to interact with each other, but in order to make this a fun game for everyone it'd be nice if everyone makes an effort...even if it's not friendly interaction.
3. You guys drive the plot. Develop your character's story however you see fit.
4. Have fun. This rp is suppose to be fun. If it's not fun then something is wrong.
5. This rp will end once either Celty is captured and handed to the police or the Dullahan hunt is put to an end.
6. The entrance code for the Dollars Chatroom is: baccano. Have that word written somewhere in your cs.
7. The Durarara!! cannon character with the most votes by the end of the rp will win the Ikebukuro prize so be sure to vote for who you want to see win
8. Keep the rules thread on watch because it will probably be updated. You might also wanna keep the other threads on watch too...especially the Dollars Chatroom(IC2 thread), the fame store(item thread), and the neutral characters thread.
Follow the rules or be PUNISHED by this guy!
