FAQ

After several years as a public server on Discord. We have a pretty good idea what newcomers frequently ask us when they join.

Most questions pertain to our role-plays and how we role-play. So in this FAQ we'll be covering some of those, all in hopes to save us all a bit of time.

So, we kindly ask before you ask us any questions, please look over this resource page first.

Thanks so much in advance! 💜 🔹 Q: Is there a limit to the number of characters I can create or write with?

A: Yes and No.

Your first character must be filling the request for a roleplay here, and you will not be able to make another character until you have finished your 1 month IC probation.

It is up to you to not over book yourself. If you are found ghosting roleplays just to make new characters. You will lose the privileges to do so.

🔹 Q: Where can I find information on Roleplay here

A: You can first start by reading our Here to roleplay post and by looking at Examples of our RP to get an idea of what we do. All other information will become available once you reach Established member rank. At that time the Storytellers Oath channel will become viewable, and you can decide you want to adhere to standards we keep here.

🔹 Q: What are the standards for posts here?

A: You need to be able to post at least a paragraph, so no less than 35 words. Beyond that, the standards are on a roleplay by roleplay bases. Who ever is running the roleplay gets to decide on any additional rules.

What matters most to the members here is adhering to the storytellers oath, which is a set of decorum/etiquette standards.

🔹 Q: How quickly do you all role-play?

A: That solely depends on the roleplay. Some do daily posts, some do weekly posts. You'll have to read the tags to see which rp does which.

🔹 Q: How are your role-plays set up and how do I join a roleplay?

A: They are set up by utilizing discord's forum.

All roleplays start off as Noodles (interest check posts) and once they gain a min. of 3 people they get approved to start.

The Owner will then make an OOC, and IC for the roleplay.

The IC will start with at least one paragraph detailing the setting, and if appropriate, an additional paragraph outlining the story/plot. Followed by an IC post made with their character. At the end of said IC post they will ping everyone who signed up to join the rp.

Each post in our RP forum is its own, self contained roleplay. Completely separate from the other roleplay posts in the forum.

🔹 Q: Can I build and host my own Role-play on this server?

A: Yes. After you gain full roleplay perms. Which will happen after you one month IC probation.

At which time you are welcome to create any group style roleplay here, that fall under the modern fantasy setting in some way.

You will have to follow our system with creating a noodle first, and once it gains enough players, building an OOC and IC for it, following the less rules to our system.

🔹 Can I post "looking for Ad" For Roleplays in Dm or off server?

A: No, we're not a hub. If you want a hub, join our sister server.

⁠our-sister-server

🔹 What happens if I need to take a break, or something happens IRL that means I won't be able to get online?

A: All you need to do is tell a member of staff, and let your fellow role-players know. (that way they're not being ghosted, and they can decided how to handle your absents)

You'll be put on leave, and check in on every couple of weeks.

🔹 Q: Can I ever use my old characters?

A: Only if they fit the roleplay you want to join with them, and the owner of the roleplay approves it.

🔹 Q: I don't understand the forums, help?!

A: To start off with: For those who did not grow up with and find forums a bit intimidating. We suggest you look at them this way.

Post in a forum are equal to discord channels in a category.

Forums are just set up in a way that allows server owners/staff the ability to allow members to create posts, and not risk those members destroying everything else.

It gives you all freedom to do and create spaces for anything and everything, with very little risk taken on the side of server administration.

With that said, The StoryTellers utilize forums ALOT on the server. We want everyone to have as much freedom as possible to bring their own touch to the server. A piece of ownership.

🔹 Q:What are the various ranked roles on the server - What do they stand for?

A: New members: Those who have joined and completed the onboarding process.

Established members: Those who have made min. 75 posts on the server and tatsu has ranked them up. These members, if within their first week on the server may start their vetting process.

Active Supporters: These members are so active on the server they have sent 1000 messages or more on the server in the last 30 days

Nitro Supporters ( have the pink crystal ): Are members who were kind enough to nitro boost the server.

Probational Roleplayers: These are members who are new to roleplaying here, and are going through their 1 month probationary period to gain full perms.

Active Roleplayers: Full fledged roleplayers who are currently active.

On Break Roleplayers: Full Fledged roleplayers who are currently taking a break from rp.

🔹 What things are not allowed in roleplay here?

Things we will not be accepted

A:

Unoriginal Characters: Do not try to pass off a character from a show, book, movie, video game. Or whatever, as an original idea that you came up with. We consider that stealing someone else's property.

NSFW Material: Do not put nsfw as in spicy material, we are a sfw space, additional absolutely nothing about minors. all characters need to be 18+

NOTE: Adult/Dark themes: Such as abuse, drug use, and other such triggering material. Needs to be brought up and TW. And made sure that everyone involved consent to the topics at hand.

Fandom Characters: We are not a fandom server. period.

Character sheets or D&D style rp ( or other table top) stats and lore: Again, we are not a fandom server, nor are we a table top server. those things don't belong here in this style of RP. We are exclusively a play by post, collabrative writing roleplay server.

Fursonas or Anthro characters: We want to preface this with, we hold no hatred towards furry's or the way they RP.

WE are simply not a furry server and there for fursonas are not content we do here. and because of that, Anthro characters are a no as well.

With all of that said, We want to make it clear we are NOT excluding any specific group of people from RPing here, we are simply excluding specific content.

as a general rule, all characters most have a 80% human looking form, that can be their default form, or a form they can shift into.
