Hellos....

I've read everything and it's all fantastic however I want to ask something that's mor specific that would go well with the time frame, especially when it's one of my favorites, of the world given that it's about a certain...I suppose you can say class of the person.

Anyways, I wanted to know if gypsies are allowed?

To add to that, are they allowed, specifically the one I have in mind, to turn in their freedom to be able to become a tradeswoman?

Again to add to that, can their be a power play of the gyspy troupe in which the oc is based in that's part of the story?

Thank you.

Gypsies arrived in our world around the 14th century, from India, which does put them in a medieval setting. However, why would a gypsy turn in their freedom to be a tradeswoman? I find that, unnecessary. I don't see how they need to become a "slave" or "servant" to be a merchant-type person. So, that bit, you wouldn't need to ever do. Because being a tradeswoman, you just find a person already in the trading business and apprentice. There's no turning over of freedom.

Power play? You mean a power that is specific tribe of gypsies have? I will not be able to answer that until I see your journal and you put up the power, along with the bio, and history to make a judgement.

Summary: Gypsy, yes. Trade in freedom, no, unnecessary. Power? Yet to be determined.

Alright! I finally thought of a question!
So. Say you are creating a character and you reallllyyyy want to have them have a power that doesn't really fit under the categories listed for magic. Or say not at all. (Trying to get answers for both sides).
Can you get GM approval for it or is it pretty much if it's not on the list it's a no go? C:

Depending on how the character is presented and how you plan on playing that particular character, exceptions can be made. The magic list is simply a break down of what the elements of the land are, not something set in stone and no one can deviate from.

Again, it is all how you plan on playing the character and how you present it. For the most part, if the GM's find that something just doesn't fit with that character and you are unable to explain exactly why that makes sense, we will ask for you to redo it and re-submit the edited [AJ] with the requested changes.

Pretty much break everything down as best you can so that we can have a better attempt at understanding what sort of 'magical powers of mystical magicness' you are attempting or not. XD We do things case by case. So don't worry too much if you aren't sure.

And don't be afraid to ask any one of us if you would like help creating a character. ( I looove making characters. I just don't like having a bajillion OC's. sooooo hint hint!! )

Being noobish here: What is an Original Character?

(Note: I will feel dumb if its EXACTLY what it sounds like, so don't feel bad if it is.)

An Original Character is basically a character that you created, based off of nothing but your own mind. However, for HoA, your OC must fall under our guidelines as far as race and abilities go, and there are certain things that must be cleared or approved by a staff member.

Your OC should not look like or be based off of an already-existing character. An OC is basically just that -- a character that you created to roleplay with!
