Character Pov / RP Channels

Players are limited to their character’s knowledge. You only know what your character knows in RP. This mechanic is the foundation of the server.


Character Clan Lock

  • Your characters can only be from one clan. For example, if you choose MapleClan, all your characters must be in MapleClan.

  • Exceptions: For story reasons or if all your characters die, you may be allowed to switch clans. Please contact an admin or create a ticket for special circumstances.

Channel History & Viewing

  • Limited View: You will not be able to see past RP posts. This is part of the limited knowledge mechanic. Refreshing Discord will clear your visible messages.

  • Retrieving Cleared Posts: Take screenshots, make notes, or maintain a storybook to keep track of your RP. If you need past messages, you can ping an admin or ask your RP partner to repost.

Talking About Clan Events OOC

  • Clan Discussions: Must be kept in the corresponding in-character channels or clan-related OOC channels. DMs about ongoing in-game events are discouraged to maintain the limited knowledge mechanic.

    • Dms with Character knowledge known between the two players is absolutely fine!

  • Exceptions: During and after a gathering, you can discuss events with all players in the all clan general channel.





Role Management & RP Channels

Adding RP Roles

  • To access RP channels, go to the following role channels at the top of the server! (These will only appear after you choose a clan) 

    • #🍁mapleclan-roles

    • #🌾swiftclan-roles

    • #☁fogclan-roles

  • Add and remove roles as your character moves through specific areas. Your character will only see the history of their interactions in those places.

    • If you are roleplaying multiple characters at once, you can be in multiple locations simultaneously.

RP Formatting & Starting an RP

How to Start RP

  • When entering a new location, post a small note indicating that your character has entered the area.

  • Include a header with:

    • Character name

    • Pronouns

    • Short bio

    • (Optional) Roll details (e.g., hunting, foraging, fighting)

  • This can also be in the form of Rp Banners along with Roll Details

  • You can add a results sentence at the bottom of your post for clarity, but this is not required.

RP Etiquette

  • If you cannot reply to a post or need to step away, create an exit post for your character until you can resume.

  • Return your character to camp! 

    • Important: Failing to follow this rule consistently may lead to warnings or corrective action by staff.
