    ARADIA

    A veil has fallen upon the world, and beneath it hides a long forgotten truth: magic exists, and so do the humans who can make use of it. Witches. It's at Aradia University that they learn witchcraft and spellwork. At Aradia, a witch can truly blossom. Learn to hone your magical skills; discover your affinity amongst the various schools of magic, connect with your familiar and witness the form it takes. Already graduated? Come back for a masters or settle down at the local town of Witch's Rest!
  3. When you think about your characters and your plots all the time, and no matter what you're doing or where you are, new character ideas and new plot ideas come to mind 🤣
  4. Spanish! I started my RP career in Spanish forums since it's my native tongue, but overtime I transitioned towards exclusively RPing English. It has helped a lot with the language over the years, but I really miss writing in Spanish. I also would love to try to RP in French? My French is only conversational atm, though, so it would be a bit tricky 😅
  5. Guidebooks & Light/Dark mode toggles! Guidebooks are just such a nice, concise, and wonderful way to access all the information about a site. I fell in love with them from the moment I first used them. Light/Dark mode toggles are just great for accessibility. I've always been more of a dark mode fan, but I know a lot of people who prefer to have light mode, so it's nice to have the option to switch between them just one click away upon preference, with it still being the same lovely site skin.
  6. A bit of a tricky answer for me! Over the years most of my characters have had pets, since I find that their choice of pet and the way they interact with them can say a lot about a character. On the other hand, the site I run now is about witches who all have a familiar of choice, which takes the form of an animal, so if we want to get technical about it all of them do have pets c':
  7. I care a lot about OOC activity. To me, the beauty of RP is the collaborative effort of writing a story together, and I think that's much more enjoyable, rewarding, and fun, when you know the people you write with and can have fun chatting with them about both your plots and everything else. Discord has become vital to me, and I think that it's nice to have a place where people can chat and still feel like they're part of the community and welcomed even when they haven't been feeling like writing or have been too busy to do so. I love building communities!
  8. I used to be all about word count, but that led me down to a really toxic mentality where I would never consider my posts good enough if they were under a thousand words and really pushed myself. I ended up not having fun RPing anymore because of it and stopped doing forum RP for a long time. My current mentality about it is that to me RP is a hobby; I'm not here to write novels or to compete with anyone (not even myself). Sometimes I'll write a really long flowery post and sometimes I'll write something short and simple, and as long as the post gives my RP partner something to work with and reply to, I think that that's okay!
  9. Man, this takes me back... I started RPing on the Neopets roleplay forums way back when I was teeny tiny, so it was more like the genre depended on the thread. I vaguely remember lots of vampire stuff (Twilight had just released, back in those days), lots of wolf RP (I really loved Wolf's Rain), and some fandom stuff here and there. The first site I was staff of (and later on Admin) was a very old Harry Potter site, the kind that started on InvisionFree.
  10. Most of mine are right handed, but I have a handful that are lefties, as well as a single ambidextrous one!
  11. It's a bit of both for me! If it's a character that I've had for a long time, the words come easily and on their own. I instantly know how they'll react to a certain situation and what they'll say, etc. However, I also can easily find ways to steer them in a certain direction while having the actions be justified and staying in character, which I think is a nice level of control (I've never been a fan of just justifying any action by "it's what my character would do", since there's a lot of different ways people can react to a situation and in my experience being mindful of this helps creating plots that are more dynamic, interesting, and fun for everyone involved). When the characters are newer it's harder for me to find this balance, and I spend a long time getting to know them and figuring out how they act... Probably why I mostly stick to characters I've had for a long time.
  12. Hi everyone, I'm Witch! I've been writing and roleplaying for most of my life in both English and Spanish (since back in the good ol' Neopet RP forum days, if anyone here remembers that lol). My preferred genre is fantasy, especially modern fantasy these days, but I've dabbled in a lot of those kinds of RPs. A little bit about me: I'm a historian, and as such, a total Ancient History and Mythology nerd. I love animals and plants, love to cook, I crochet, and I have two lovely cats that are currently making it very difficult to write this. I generally have no idea what to write for things like these, so excuse if this feels a little ramble-y. I look forward to meeting you all!
  13. Allegiance (when applicable) or profession! Personally I find it that this makes it easier for members to find characters that they can easily build plots with — especially in settings like universities where you have student characters, faculty, etc. and if the site has member list filtering in its directory! I'm not a big fan of sites having too many member groups since the amount of different colours overwhelms me, so I like it when it's kept nice and simple c':

    Eclipse Reborn

    I'm a member here. I find the writing here exciting and deliciously indulgent. The staff takes plenty of inspiration from members' ideas/feedback and incorporate with site-wide plots with setting-changing implications. The board set up is really straightforward and the joining process was simple.
  18. Midnight

    Hello!

    Hey hey! I'm Midnight, mid-twenties, they/them. I've been roleplaying for about thirteen years now. Most of my experience has been as an admin. I love the background work almost as much as I love actually RPing! My focus is mostly on Warrior cats, but I've dabbled in other worlds, such as Pokemon, as well. My favorite part about roleplaying is long-term character development. Warriors is great for that, because with cats you can create long, multi-generational stories in a fairly short time period without in-character timeskips. It's similar to playing The Sims in that regard. Outside of roleplaying, I love reading, taking walks, listening to music, playing video games, watching and analyzing movies with my partner, and trying new restaurants/foods.

    Absit Omen

    Wizarding World AU set in 2018.
  20. Sometimes a character's voice is really clear and it's so easy to know how they'd react that it's like they're writing themselves. But honestly, I like being the writer and making the choices for the best, most intriguing, most emotional, and entertaining time with my RP friends.
  21. We've been doing this for a couple years now, hosting casual events every couple of months like AO Day* and Movie Nights*. AO Day is when we all make time for RPing on a specific day so the chat is poppin' and threads can move quick for a day. For Movie Night, we use When's Good or Doodle to pick a time, then a gdoc to nominate and vote on something to watch, then we host the watch in Discord. What other community events have you seen work well? * Our timezones span the globe, so AO Day is really AO weekend, and Movie Nights are in the morning for many of us.
  22. Our member groups are only to delineate active/inactive and admins. I've been on sites that use the in-character groups and find it pretty fun. I've toyed with the idea of allowing members to choose a group or color, just to get to choose a color. :]
  23. Last year I scratched an itch and created an entire RPG - designed the premise, wrote the rules, built out a forum, scrungled over code and customizations, and ... didn't open it. 😄 I showed it to a couple friends, but the point was, it was just fun to make something. The actual RPG I run now, I made with a team of people after the site we were writers on went down. We wanted to keep writing with each other.

    Red Flags

    Oh man, there are so many red flags, but my major one is when I join a site server and there is no greeting, nobody even acknwoledges I am there. Or when after the inital greeting everything I say and or do is ignored. Why open a site if you are not going to chat to your guests?!
  25. When I go into a site and staff show interest in your plot idea, but get upset when their friend cannot have the character you reseved. Then bully you using their characters. Like seriously guys... I am glad you're closed because you cannot bully your guests now.
  26. Oh man, there have been some many over the last fifteen years! I mean, I am 35 years old and still make Admin mistakes but I hope my members can give me grace. Allowing bad people back onto my sites Allowing manipulators manipulate me into letting them do something I'm uncomfortable with Not allowing my site time to thrieve because other staff have said we need to do xyz to be active Catering to certain people who didn't deserve it Putting guests above my members... nobody is supposed to be above anyone!!! These are just a few!
  27. No, I do not believe all bans require an explantion. There is far too much hate in this world to have to deal with it in our hobby. Sometimes it is best to just ban the person and help your members recover. ❤️
