SUBMITTING CITY LOCATIONS:

The city is a wide, and perhaps even haunted in places. There’s no telling what someone may find. We’d like to invite people to think of things their characters might stumble across or maybe even put together themselves. In other words, players are free to think of their own locations within each section. An abandoned library? An old church that contains a horrible secret? Maybe they set up their own hidey-hole in an empty apartment building for whenever they visit the city. Fill out the following template and post it under the thread for the appropriate district:

Handle:
Name of location:
Description: Be as detailed as you can! What does it look like? What kinds of things might people find here? How easy or difficult is it to discover?



Please bear in mind that we have the right to ask you to revise or alter your location if we feel it deviates too far from the setting.

FARWELL NPCs:

Since we aim for Farwell to be a collaborative effort among players, people are free to NPC their own rebel characters if they would like. If you have a recurring rebel you would like to play yourself, you may fill out the following template and post it under the appropriate thread:

Handle:
NPC's Name: Self-explanatory (Bear in mind that this must be an Original Character - canon characters will not be accepted)
Age:
Gender/Sex:
Function within Farwell: Do they man a supply post? Dig for supplies? Help manage headquarters? Guard the city wall? Something else?
Personality: Please describe their basic personality.



Please bear in mind that we reserve the right to ask you to alter or revise your NPC if we feel it’s necessary.

Another exciting feature about the NPC characters in Farwell that we'd like to introduce is the fact that we're allowing those people who have dropped characters who made it through the coliseum trial to show up in Farwell as NPC characters who managed to escape the institute and stay holed up in the city.

In other words, if you have a character who went through the coliseum who you dropped, you'd have the option to play them as an NPC in Farwell! However, this is only for characters who fit those criteria and were dropped before this announcement was made (10/9/2012). You wouldn't be able to drop a character now or in the future and then play them as an NPC in Farwell, since we want to avoid people trying to abuse that option.

At the moment, only two people are eligible for this as far as we could remember, and that's Callisto from Xena (played by Lauren) and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars (played by Jansen). We'll certainly edit this list if other characters who fit these requirements come up. (Note: You'd need to work out with the mods what your dropped character was doing while in Farwell before playing them in any threads. Also, only current players qualify, but players who have previously dropped may become eligible if they decide to apply back into the game with a patient character.)

This is the list of current Farwell NPCS
Descriptions coming soon!

HOW POSTING WORKS

Posts in [community profile] damned_city will be in prose, log-based format. Because of the scope and size of the area, moving posts will not be necessary. The act of going from one district to another can be largely handwaved if the player would like, but please try to be realistic in how much distance a character would be able to cover in a day, depending on their method of travel.

Players will use the following template when setting up their posts:

Subject Line: Day/Night #: Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night, Dawn, etc., Farwell
Who: Characters involved. If it’s open for others to join in, please say so.
Where: Section #, Location
Summary: The gist of what the thread's going to be about.

This post will also serve as a general FAQ regarding Farwell. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here, and a mod will get to you as soon as possible.
