What we are looking for in any character addition is any sort of danger
the character might provide to the role play at Mystical Realms. Characters
that are overpowered or illogical will be refused. Many times a character
might work well in a book, but could not possibly work in a chatting environment.
Specific Race Rules
With a Free Membership to Mystical Realms, the race selection is more broad but it is not
without restrictions. We have chosen the most popular races and have provided templates
that must be followed. If you want to have the freedom to move beyond this list, please
consider helping support our site. Patrons have open racial selection.
Other races that are allowed for Members that don't require a template include:
Human, Elf
Half-Elf/Half-Human
Dwarf, Hobbit, Gnome, Kender
Orc, Goblin
Half-Orc/Half-Human
Keep them believable - humans don't have red eyes or slit pupils, elves don't have tails or kitten ears. Do not move beyond this list. If you apply with a human that has been possessed by a demon,
it will not be accepted.
We do NOT accept the following for Members:
-
Ancient Dragons
-
Offspring of Gods, Arch Angels, Devil Princes or Demon Lords
-
ANY - Celestials | Demons | Devils
-
Characters from Earth (may be from an Earth-like setting)
-
Any character, name of organization or location that is not of your own creation, whether it is from books, anime, movies, game cards or other sources. (IE Gandalf or Kenshin or Drizzt or The Black Dagger Brotherhood or characters from Magic the Gathering.)
-
Characters that grant wishes (Genies)
-
Characters that can use all the elements (Like Aang in The Last Airbender)

Characters are allowed a maximum of 2 NPCs they can narrate at any given time. Only one stat may be 11 Expert, all others fall under it.
These might include a pet or steed, guardians, soldiers or handmaidens.
This includes summoned creatures like demons or shadows to assist in combat.
These NPCs are to be used on a short term basis and only to add to a character's storyline.
If the NPC becomes important enough that they spend time out in the chat on their own, then
they need to be registered as a handle.

Owning Property in Auvrynon
Owning shops and buildings in the City of Gates is encouraged.
Having a job with the City of Auvrynon
Creating a character that has an official job with the City of Auvrynon is not allowed. Guards and Military personnel in particular cannot be employed by the city. If you wish to play a knight or other guardsman, you can create your own privately owned business that provides security or trained muscle. Other examples of this include council members or other politicians. Any character with ties to the Queen will be rejected unless you have prior permission from the owners of the site.
back
Being a ruler with a standing army in Zatrikion
Obviously, only the Queen can have an army in The City of Gates. Auvrynon isn't about military role play. Within the realm of Auvrynon, leaders of towns and villages can be created, and they can have small armies made up of militia. But these are in no way allowed in The City of Gates. Outside of Auvrynon, anything is possible, and if you want to participate in a campaign about military might, you are welcome to approach the RK's or become one yourself. No one, though, is allowed to descend upon Avurynon with their invading army. Auvrynon's Queen is designed to be all powerful, and she will simply banish the offending army and the player that controls it.
back
Playing a character that is a child
Children in Auvrynon can be played but only under certain cirumstances.
A child character under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a guardian at all times. This must be either a character that is a parent, or a character that is a guardian of some sort. Animals do not count as guardians.
Children characters that are in the age group of 14 to 17 can roam freely in the city and wilds of Auvrynon without a guardian. However, there are some rooms where entry may be denied. This includes some of the bars, like the Crimson Tap. It is up to the player to be aware of the rules that are posted in the room look.
back
When developing a character with multiple personalities, what needs to be considered is if this is an attempt to play many different types of characters with one character slot.
To use only one character slot, the stats of the character must remain the same regardless of the personality under control. Stats do not change. The personalities will have to share the same stats, even though skills might wax and wane between the mindsets. What this means is, that while one personality might be better in magic while and another personality is better in body, the maximum numbers that are what is listed on the character application and pages do not change.
Characters with multiple personalites can shift shape using magic and illusions, but they need to supply a reason for how and why they know how to shift shape. Without this information, a character will be refused.

Characters with special titles like "Saint" and "General"
When it comes to having a special title, make sure that your character actually is what the title says it is. We understand that sometimes people want their characters to be called something when they are not, but we don't want a bunch of non-cleric Reverends and non-military Generals wandering around Auvrynon. This is particularly true with the title of Saint. It is important to note that one only gains Sainthood after death, so the title of Saint will only be granted to characters that have done an extrodinary amount of good and who are dead.
In regard to the titles Lady and Lord, those can be applied to most character names without stipulations.

Unusual Equipment including Airships/Space Equipment/Technology
It is important to remind you that we have the Outer Realms now for those that want to play characters with additional equipment that is outside of what we normally allow in Auvrynon. We still get the occasional player that wants to play their displaced space man, or someone with a new magical technology within Auvrynon. Most of the time these requests will be denied in the city of Auvrynon. That doesn't mean that an RK for one of the Zatrikion realms might not allow it. Take it up with the RK's BEFORE you register, and you will be far more likely to have the request accepted.
back
Magic Users and Spellcasters
Like with other games, when applying with some sort of spellcaster, you must supply a list of spells the character will start out with. Spellcasters at Mystical Realms need to be specialized in an area of magic. The type of specialization can be as creative as you can imagine it to be, but there must be an area of expertise that a character studies. Examples: Lightning, Fire, Healing, Necromancy.
Weather magic is allowed, but a character cannot affect more than the room that they are within. A character cannot summon a snow storm over the whole City of Gates.
Time magic is also allowed, but considering the nature of the chat, it is very difficult to use. In most cases, it will be refused if the background is not well written.
Characters that are "born of magic" will be rejected. For this type of character, it will need to be an RKSC. (see below)
back
Realm Keeper Sponsored Characters
An RK sponsored character is one that bypasses the application restrictions, such as a Demon Lord,
based on approval by one or more Realm Keepers. RK Sponsored Characters may only play in the room(s)
operated by the Realm Keeper that approved them and are never allowed in Auvrynon rooms.
They are distinguished by a * following their name and must list the Realm they were approved
for in their character chamber.
-
The Realm Keeper must leave a memo in chat for Thayne requesting an RK Sponsored Character and list the name of the character that will be played in his/her realm.
-
Then the member submits a Realm Keeper Sponsored Character Form linked below, listing the character name, race, description and what room(s) the character will be played in, for our reference.
