Questions and Answers[/b][/color]
1) What kind of character can I create?
There are a variety of races on Halfmoon. You can find them and information regarding them here.
You also have the option of suggesting your own race to add to this universe. To do so, please refer to the information found here
2) What are the forum rules?
You can find the rules here.
3) Can I create a three headed super saiyan wolf that can spit fire and cause earthquakes just by breathing?
No. Please refer to the forum rules and species fact. Though Halfmoon encourages member input and creativity, this is not a wolf rp forum. Nor is it a place for godmoding species and characters.
4) Can my character have a pet dragon (or some other odd pet)?
Yes. With mod permission.
5) What are the writing level requirements on this forum?
We accept writing ability of all levels. Chat speak and actions denoted by ‘*’, and the use of emoticons in posts is discouraged. This will make you look like an idiot and likely make people less prone to joining in with your threads.
6) Someone is harassing me, what do I do?
Either work it out through pms or contact a mod. Don’t confuse harassment with criticism.
7) What style of clothing is the norm in this universe?
Think Victorian era. Medieval themed clothing is also appropriate. It’s pretty open but don’t think for an instant that glow bracelets and modern punk/emo looks are welcomed. They’re not. You will be laughed at if you try.
8) What technologies are available on the forum?
You can find information on technology in this thread.
9) Where can I find information on the different kingdoms and locations?
Look here.
10) What is magic like on Halfmoon?
For information about magic, look here.
11) I’m not sure what kind of job my character should have, can you help?
We have a list of common occupations here. Feel free to try out your own things, too. If we feel it does not fit within the realm of Halfmoon, we will work with you to tweak your idea until it is usable.
12) What kind of animals and beasts exist on Halfmoon?
Look here for information. Because mutations occur, members are given a great deal of leeway in coming up with their own monster ideas that suit their purposes. You may also use creatures from folklore for NPCs only.
13) What is the story behind the Forum?
We suggest you look here. You can find history and other elements of Halfmoon described therein.
14) I have a question that has not been covered, how do I get it answered?
Either pm a mod (or admin) or make a thread. Your question will be addressed as soon as possible.
15) Can my talking animal character use magic?
The only animals that can use magic are familiars; that is, helpers to a witch.
16) What kind of half-breeds are allowed here?
As of right now, only half-fairies (fairyxhuman) are allowed. You may also have some sort of realistic animal hybrid, like a mule or wolf-dog.
17) What do people use for currency in the universe of Halfmoon?
Gold, silver and bronze coins. People are also big in trading. An expensive piece of clothing can go a long way.
18) What do the witch collars look like?
They're heavy metal collars that hang loosely around the neck. In the front, below the chin, is a red light that glows during the draining process.
19) Are characters allowed to go between Caedere and Sideris?
Yes. They can do so on foot (passing through neutral territory where the Black Dog is located), by boat or via air ship. Normal citizens are not usually bothered by customs, but, obviously, members of an opposing military are barred from entry.
20) How long does it take to travel between cities?
3-10 days, depending. Air ship is much faster.
21) Can I rp an animal that doesn't talk?
...yeah I guess. That'd be really boring though. 'Doesn't talk' means it can't talk to other animals either.
22) Can animals of the folk drink alcohol, drive cars, stay at inns and grasp things?
Animals of the folk can only do what their anatomy allows. This means a dog cannot drive a car or hold things. They may be able to use technology to alter their bodies, however, such as gloves that allow them to grasp. It's still limited though.
23) Is it possible for two different races to fall in love? Like a cat of the folk falling in love with a dog of the folk, or a nivali falling in love with a human?
Technically it's possible, but two things.
A. bestiality is disgusting.
B. A cat does not find the same things attractive as a human does. The same goes for nivali. Their standards are completely different, which makes inter-species relationships improbable.
24) Are there ghosts, demons and angels in the halfmoon universe?
There are ghosts and otherworldly creatures. Ghosts are the spirits of dead creatures- human or animal. Demons are something different; they're specters that cause torment. There is no religious connotations with either ghosts nor demons, but some characters may believe that is the case.
25) Can people see, hear or otherwise communicate with said spirits?
Yes. The only people who can safely communicate with spirits (and defend themselves against them) are witches with foresight. It's recommended to find such a witch if you want to play around with the occult. Ordinary people and witches can also attempt outreach, but the results are often random. Bad things can get in.
