Who We AreWe are an open, free-form Ragnarok Online RP group! We do not have a set storyline, so feel free to be as creative as you want, as long as it fits in with the lore of the game, and have fun!
How to Join
Please complete a character sheet before joining the group! The sheet can be found
here. When filling out the app, please include the following details: Name, Gender, Job, Race, Height, Town, a small summary of who your character is, and personality details.
Don't be intimidated; We're not asking for 500 word essays. Concise summaries are totally fine. When joining the group please add a link to your Character Sheet. If your character does not break any of the rules, it will be accepted. Please take a look at the rules
here.
When we accepted you to group, you may submit your Character Sheet to the
Character Applications folder (the sub folders just serve as an archive).
After your sheet is accepted, visit the
Kafra Storage to have your items listed and submit your character to the
Character List.
Explore the community, make friends and have fun!

FAQ
Q: Why was my character sheet rejected?
A: Most likely because it did not follow the character creation rules. Please review them here.
Q: Why was my submission rejected?
A: We will let you know, but please read the rules to avoid rejection.
Q: Can I have a non-human character?
A: The best thing to do is run it by the GM to see if it's okay (it's suggested that you have a good story to back it up). Read the character rules to get an idea of what is accepted.
Q: I've never played the game before. Can I still join?
A: Of course! Don't be afraid to ask staff or other members to help you out if you're not familiar with something!
Q: Can I draw/color my character sheet traditionally?
A: Yes! Just copy it on to the character sheet, fill out the info, and you're good to go!
Q: I can't draw but I still want to join the group. Is there another way to make my character sheet?
A: Unfortunately, we don't have a different format aside from drawing. Ask a friend to make your app for you, and from then on you can submit whatever form of art you want.
Q: Can I join with any class or do I have to start out as a novice/first class?
A: You can join with any class.
Q: Can I change my character's class?
A: Yes, if it's what you want to do with your character's story, you can go from novice to first class, first class to second class, etc. However, Classing down or changing to a different class branch will incur a fee. To job change, you must depict your character doing their job change. Then make sure to update your character sheet so everyone knows about the class change.
Q: How does prize zeny work?
A: They are added to the usual submission zeny you get for the type of work you submit. For example, if you submit a full body colored work for character spotlight, you get 30k + 50k = 80k.
Q: If I work on a submission with another member, do the both of us get zeny/prizes?
A: Absolutely! We highly encourage working together or collaborating with other members. Unless it is stated otherwise, you can collaborate with another member for pretty much anything in this group. Of course, it should go without saying that the both of you should play equal or close to equal parts in the submission.
Q: Can I submit something featuring mature/18+/NSFW content or themes?
A: We are a PG-13 group and as such do not allow some mature content. Please see the rules for a list of guidelines on what is acceptable.
Q: Am I allowed to have any headgear/weapon/pet when I start out?
A: Yes, as long as they are not custom or God items.
Q: Can I modify my character's class outfit/uniform?
A: Yes, as long as it resembles the original class outfit.
Q: Can I change the color or look of an official headgear?
A: Color changes are absolutely acceptable. As for modifying the headgear, as long as the modifications are minimal enough that it still looks like the original official headgear, it's fine. Completely changing the headgear is not allowed: for example, instead of having a fox face for the Kitsune Mask, it's a bunny face instead.
Q: Can I modify an official weapon?
A: Yes, but keep changes minimal. And for simplicity, keep the name the same when you add your item in storage.
Q: Is there a limit to armor/accessories?
A: Because they don't really affect the group experience, there is no limit. Just don't go overboard! The same applies to cards.
Q: Can I switch out items later on?
A: No, you may not. That defeats the purpose of being active and gaining new items.
Q: I didn't reach my equip limit when I first joined. Can I add them later?
A: Yes, make sure to comment in the storage journal to update if you do.
Q: If an item I want isn't in the item shop, is there another way to obtain it?
A: There will be opportunities for you to gain gold coins for participating in events. You can trade in 5 gold coins for one headgear of choice.
Q: I want an item, but it was already used as a prize for a past event! Can I submit something for it and still get the item?
A: Unfortunately, once an event is finished, we no longer allow submissions for that event for prizes, other than the usual submission zeny. We also generally do not do repeat prizes for future events. Your best bet is either to save up gold coins by participating in currently active events or utilize one of your 3 free headgear slots for new characters.
Q: Can any of my characters use any item in my storage?
A: Yes, all your characters are free to use whatever you have in storage, regardless of what they started out with.
Q: Can a certain class use a headgear/weapon that can't be equipped in game?
A: Headgears are totally fine (you can even stack headgears if you want to get creative). As for weapons, it's best that you keep to a weapon that can be used by that class or at least come up with a reasonable story behind why/how they can use that particular weapon to avoid God-modding.
Q: Can I donate zeny/items to other players?
A: It is highly discouraged, but bring up a good reason to a staff member and it may be considered (donating zeny is not allowed in most cases). You can, however, buy items in the item shop for other people if you wish.
Q: Am I allowed to update my character sheet? And do I get zeny for it?
A: Yes, you are! Resubmit it to the group or notify a staff member and you will get zeny for it.
Q: If I submit a sketch, then color it later, do I get the zeny award for colored works?
A: There is no guarantee that extra zeny will be added if you update your work later unless you notify a staff member.
Q: If I'm in a guild, do I have to participate in WoE?
A: Whether your guild participates or not is up to the guild leader. However, it is not mandatory for individuals to participate (it would sure help your guild though).
Q: Are female bards/clowns/maestros or male dancers/gypsies/wanderers allowed?
A: Yes, they are allowed. I would love to see how a male dancer/gypsy/wanderer would work out, but we're not judging.
