1. Hm. That first part should be pamphlet-y.
However if you have the urge to do a personalized one XD
The Conflict post would be best. It should be written like a novel.
However I'm not entirely too sure about the conflict plot yet
so any ideas for that would be great.
I have horrible at making bad guys. (wants everyone to be friends)

Yeah...gotta get around to finishing that concept too. XD
How the cults are going to run. If they'll need outside guild help
to become Gods....or is it too much of a hassle. (i.e. how they
get their prayers and followers to grow.)

I'm happy Nocte's core concept is intriguing to you.
It still very rough so if you have any ideas you want
to incorporate that would be cool. *__*

2. The writing itself is nice. XD However yeah...wrong ideas
for the introduction due to misunderstanding of core concepts
that run Nocte.

I really should DL skype one of these days...just...
I don't IM much at all with anyone...so it would just be you. XD

3. You can have a child get through and get turned.
However I'm iffy about your concept of a Doppleganger for the
sole purpose that it blends into too many specie-types.

I'm relegating shapeshifters to their own class, however they are
all only able to shapeshift into normal animals like werewolves,
Hvaing a doppleganger would be more of a Denizen stuff...but
the character would still be a shapeshifter so...confusing X__x
Since denizens are treated as 1st class citizens and shapeshifters
are slaves/3rd class...not sure how it would work.
Your character has a large risk of god modding if not handled right.

However if you have a better work-around for it to explain the doppleganger-ness...I'm welcome to hear your concept.

1) Personalized is a strong word. Just so it's not quite so dry. Having a hard time making myself focus on any one thing, so that would be why I'm not getting anything done for this. I'm sorry. D; But, hey, if I have the opportunity for making the conflict post more fun, I could channel that desire there.

Yeah, that was the main reason (other than money) why I was wary of that path. I'd be afraid of not being able to come up with anything interesting enough for the cult to go anywhere/advance up the levels. It would have to be a massive guild, too. But, eh, I don't know enough about it. xD

If I come up with anything, I'll let you know. At this point, I don't really see any room for improvement, so I'unno.

2) I understand the concepts, I just didn't add enough info. to cover everything fully. I was going to add stuff in later. Kind of like, have a short, less dry introduction into each of the concepts (eg. portal, places, rules, etc) then lay out all of the specific rules in a bullet-point-like manner, in order to get attention, then introduce the nit-picky stuff, but whateva. c:

You don't ever actually Skype with anyone? I live three hours away from my family, and that's the only way I can see them regularly. Plus, old friends and even new friends when neither of us wants to travel. xD

3) Yeah, I see your points. Regardless, I am going to use this idea on my own, because dark magical realism is fuuuun. If I think up a way for it to be less overpowered, I'll let you know. xD

edit: Pretty sketch!

1. Yeah there's a fine balance between too documentary style and prose that grabs an audience and keeps them reading until the end.

Oh I just have to get around to writing it down. Since a Celestial is basically the personification of an abstract idea. So basically their churches would be made up off followers either practicing their abstract idea represented or offering prayers to their god.

So a God of Cleanliness would have a super stark white church and his followers would be OCD people who clean things as offering to their god. Or give prayers for them to have a fully clean life...might even lead to clean and pure thoughts and such....

2. Yup no skyping. Anyone I want to get in touch with I just talk/post in facebook. So I really have no need for skyping. XD I don't have a webcam either.

3. Ok then...have fun with it. If you're interested to stay for a long time here I can make you crew and give you an NPC to use. OvO
Mdm Vivi, Vlad and Erynion as well as Lady Justice have been claimed though.

1) That's my main tripping block right now. That and stress! /flails

Haha, I'm seriously eager to see what people come up with for that path.

2) Well, that would do it. Can't really Skype without a webcam. xDD

3) Ooh, I definitely am interested in staying for a long time. Hopefully, this can be my stress release during the school year. And, I would love to have an NPC to use. Heeeeeeee. <3

You can pick one.
I gave out NPCs to people.
Claimed ones are Vlad, Mdm Vivi, Ery and Lady Justice. OvO
I'll go crew you now and you can go post in the staff forum and
read all the blah there.

Gotta say, I'm pretty in-love with the concept of Luna/Maddie. Could I take her?

Also, I got about a paragraph done yesterday before work. Definitely not done, but yo.

The city of Nocte resides in a sort of alternate dimension. Human beings can only travel to Nocte through portals that appear at random and draw one unsuspecting individual in—whether they like it or not. At this point in time, the human ceases to exist in his or her world and time, be it the past, present, or future, and is permanently a resident of Nocte (and the surrounding cities?). The ride from the human universe to Nocte is rough. It had been described as

She's the core and central character for Nocte so...
I really hope you'll stick to Nocte until then because
she'll probably be RP'd around META RPs.

I'm sort of commissioning her art from an artist but it
hasn't been done yet so you can just fill up the form
of her background and history and personality
but leave the character looks empty.

Second POst here has the NPC Profile code that
you can copy and paste.
(it's the template used on Vladimir's)

As to the paragraph...it's sounding good. OvO
Hmm...I wouldn't call the ride rough it's more disorienting
and nauseating. XD

p.s. Also I advice that when you're writing stuff about
a character's origin world you mostly skip that part.
There is no way back to your origin world (unless I change my mind)
so whatever old attachments must be severed and forgotten.
Also highly unlikely for anyone from your home world
to meet you. (i.e. there's so much time and parallel universes
that meeting you own home point is almost a statistical impossibility.)

Yeah, fair point. I don't know how awful this coming semester is going to be, and I don't want to take her if I don't think I'll be able to do her justice. Don't want to make any promises I can't keep. What about Professor Rokitansky?

All right, I'll keep all that in mind. c:

Well it's okay if you don't pick one
if you think you're too busy.

Just do the job I initially asked you to do
when you have time. OvO
And I'll pay 50k per post finished.
Or should I up it to 100k? O__O

All right. I think it would be fun to control an NPC, but I just don't know what to expect from this coming semester.

Right. That's what I'm doing. I got a little bit written the other day. How regularly would you like me to post what I've written, for you to read? Every individual post? Every paragraph?

Also, I thought we had agreed on 100k.

We did?
Okay 100k it is. XD
I distinctly remember it was 50k oh well.
See if I can keep my 100k intact to pay ya.
Haven't been drawing much and earning anything <<;

Well I would prefer it be finished product.
I.E. Per post done. OvO
That I can BETA-EDIT.
Because every paragraph might be a little too short
to nit pick.

I looked on the last page, and it was 50-100k, depending on word-count. So, we are both kinda right? xDD

Okay, I can do that. Definitely easier that way. c:

Also, I've gotten to a point in this first post where the points you wanted to talk about are things I don't know a whole lot about.
This is where I am, in terms of your bullet-points:
"-- Becoming a citizen of Nocte--and then the sub classes.

--should enter a blurb about the places in Nocte and stuff. Like a summary of the Map. XD And about the myst and the void that surrounds Nocte like a force field. "

Ah crap! I keep forgetting I haven't solidified the map area yet. XD
Although you can check out the MAP thread it's found in the same
general area of the forum.
I just didn't write about the main city centers yet because
I got busy and then totes forgot about it.

Also sub-classes be missing. Hopefully I can fill that up within a day or two.
Basically those are like low class shifters to high class Denizen and the movers and shakers.

The Myst is basically like a dark empty space that moves around like fog
that both surrounds and cradles the empty space between in Nocte.

i.e. the equivalent would be the oceans in Earth...but they are not watery and are more foglike and empty. The only way to get around is by the train system and the cars in the roads.
