Roleplay (RP)

The Dream Land offers a unique chance to be anyone -- from a bloodthirsty killer to a saintly knight. You don't have to simply play, gaining experience and levelling up like in any other game -- you can try to roleplay your character as if on stage: to LIVE in their body and behave as befits their unique Path, backstory, personality, clan, race, class, appearance, and manner of speech.

Roleplay matters a great deal, because it gives you -- and every other player -- the chance to enjoy the game so much more!

WHERE TO START

• Your character's story begins with a name. Our world has almost no restrictions on character names -- if you can use an interesting or unusual name in your roleplay, go ahead and call yourself Hedgehog!
• A good next step is to write a description of your character. Just picture how your character looks and behaves, and the roleplay starts itself! :)
• The first thing you can start roleplaying is your own gender. If your character is female, try to use the correct gender endings in your messages -- this will help others start addressing you properly too.
• And don't forget to write an interesting title and pretitle for your character -- that too will add colour to your roleplay.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU ROLEPLAY?

• Start following one of the Eight Paths -- try to imagine what exactly is required of your character if they have chosen such a road. Choosing a religion and roleplaying a true follower of one of the gods also greatly contributes to an interesting game atmosphere.
• Join a clan! Clans are the heart of the Paths, and being in a clan makes it much easier to behave in the game in keeping with your status. Your clanmates can teach you and share the rich history of their clan.
• Write stories! Read the stories that have already been written to gather inspiration (new ones, via story list, and ancient ones in the Book of Legends in the Midgaard Library), and pick up your pen. Tell your own story! P.S. Writing stories that describe dramatic changes in your character's life can convince the Immortals to use their divine powers to change properties of your character that cannot be changed any other way.
