RP Name -
Chiaroscuro
RP url -
chia.jointhesaga.com/
otherverse.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
Host (i.e. proboards, invisionfree, geocities, etc.) -
RPGWorks - It's a MUSH codebase
Approximate member number -
Hard to tell for certain, but I'd say somewhere between 20 and 30 of us in total.
Difficulty (easy, intermediate, difficult, or suitable for all) -
Advanced.
Activity (slow, medium, or fast) -
High. Because it's a MUSH, there's nearly always someone around to RP with--or, if there's not, most of us are more than willing to come play if you drop us a page.
Rating (required for sites above PG-13) -
PG-13 (Might as well stick it in)
Are auditions of some sort required? -
Nope. You can come right in - there is a Guest account, though, if you'd like to check it out before hand.
Is there some sort of plot? If so, what is it? -
Fastheld: it's a land histories and stories, a land of commoners and nobility, of struggle and political intrigue. It's an empire behind walls, hiding its face from the world outside. It's a place where the magic of the Shadow is shunned, and the blessings of the Light coveted. And now, with the creation of the Crown's Refuge outside the protective walls of the Aegis, it's a kingdom of people who are now discovering what's waiting on their doorstep.
Here at Chiaroscuro, we run on nothing more than a MUSH codebase, a basic internet connection, and a heck of a lot of imagination. With a host of friendly players and equally friendly staffers (who are more than willing to help out and answer any questions), there's always something to do. Of plot lines there's plenty, and rest assured that your characters (and everyone else's, too!) will grow with every scene. Come join us! You can have a character on the grid in the midst of the action in no time.
RP era and type (war, etc.) -
Medieval Fantasy. Currently, no, we're not at war with anyone--but there's the occasional skirmish with wildlings or some upstart villain the Staffers threw in for the fun of it.
Are beings other than humans allowed? If so, what type? -
Races and classes allowed include: Syladris (naga), Freelander (class; see Wiki), Wildlander (class; see Wiki), Nobility (self-explanatory class, but you can see the Wiki anyway), Shadow-Touched Mages (class; restricted; Wiki), Sunkissed Clerics (class; restricted; and yes, there's a Wiki page on that, too)
Is magic allowed? -
Yes, but because we've already got a bunch of Touched and Sunkissed running about, it's under tight restriction, right now.
Other -
A MUSH, for those of you who aren't familiar with the term, is sort of like a chat room environment for roleplaying. Only, think of an uber-spifified chat room, with all sorts of extra Awesome Gadgets (TM) to make things a little easier. It runs off Telnet. Most computers come with a basic Telnet application, but I would recommend downloading a client, if you haven't already. There's some good ones out there that won't cost you a penny. For instance, you might look into Pueblo UE (pueblo.sourceforge.net/) or SimpleMU (simplemu.onlineroleplay.com/).
