Hotarla Okay, maybe not shut it down then...xD I had no idea the Portal system was that important...xP and no sun either...xD that was just an example and I was really expecting it to happen anyway...xD
Hrmmm...how about the Mysts affecting the fabric of the world and the state of mind of the citizens? O: Some like this:
"However, in recent years, crime and corruption have reached an all time high. More people are being sent to the Badlands, more shifters becoming feral. Then there are the dreams, really nightmares, that plague the citizens of Nocte, driving them mad. Whispers of rumors and half-truths say that this is doing of the Mysts, the shadowy miasma that lurks on the fringes of Nocte. The lines between dream and reality are beginning to merge and there is nowhere safe anymore..."
And maybe citizens are starting to see things lurking out of the corner of their eyes but when they look again, there's nothing there, everyone is starting to get spooked and stuff....O: And this won't affect the characters you're "selling" since the users/roleplayers would be entering Nocte knowing that there's something wrong (although maybe not the character's they're roleplaying), but not knowing the entire truth of what is causing this to happen...O:
The portal system is the only way population of new humans are introduced into Nocte.
Because once you've crossed the threshold you're forever changed. O x O
Hmm....I should put it there somewhere that when Mundanes have babies they will still be Mundane. =3= It's only something about crossing the threshold of the portal which turns you into any of the pathways. (Tattooed Denizen or Talent). All the other pathways are optional. O A O /get infected by Shifter or becoming a Celestial.
The only thing that bothers me about your plot is the fact that there is nowhere to run.
Soon the plot will have to move enough that it's going to invade Nocte.
Problem being...there is no escape. So basically now you'd end up with a world where everyone
has nowhere to hide, nowhere to go and yeah...>>; Horror movie in the making.
Shops in B/C are supposed to have a plot where it can last years and people can opt
to participate in the Main Conflict (filled with action) or just stay in their happy chairs.
But with your plot, interesting as it may be for a novel, would seriously narrow down the viewpoint of everyone. Practically wipe out all the minor conflicts. O___o I don't have writers enough to plan out a horror B/C. >_<;
Because the Portal is one way. There is only a very few safe landmasses.
And EVERYTHING is surrounded by the Mysts. >>; Yeah.

Hotarla Well its just an idea...xD since you still need a main conflict..xD I dunno anymore, I've run out of ideas...for now anyway! XD I still think that something includes the Mysts would be a great idea for a main conflict since everyone knows of it and its all around...xD Ah well... Probably a nice idea to use the Mysts..it's one of the big unknowns next to the island of Noh. So yeah. Just needs refining of the idea now. O x O

I'm kidding, I'm kidding....xD well I haven't got any other ideas apart from shadowy monsters created by the hopes, fears, desires, wishes and nightmares of the citizens of Nocte coming out from the Mysts...xD;;

Hotarla XD Haven't I done enough thinking for one night? Pfffffffft!
I'm kidding, I'm kidding....xD well I haven't got any other ideas apart from shadowy monsters created by the hopes, fears, desires, wishes and nightmares of the citizens of Nocte coming out from the Mysts...xD;; Well it could be the origin story of the Mysts. But not as the conflict at present. X____x Man. Maybe I don't need a central conflict after all the point of the shop is not conflict but to rise in rank and become an important person. Hmmm...maybe I could leave the central conflict as one of the chairs in the council is open, and they will soon choose another Citizen of Nocte to sit in the council. The one who has the most power will be elected by the reigning council members. However choices are still being looked at and with almost everyone on the council immortals, the choice might take a long long time. XD Which leaves a character going into the shop striving to be one of the candidates to choose? While others can opt out of being a VIP.

Also, to "level up," you have to buy the next stage right? xD At least, I THINK that's what I'm getting from that Breedables shop you told me to go to..xD Are you going to have a snazzy website for all your breedables as well? xD

Hotarla Hurr...or maybe giving citizens a chance to become apprenticed to one of the great council members? O: And that, in turn, could allow for them to compete for that coveted council position? O:

No snazzy website.
Those are minis.
I will just have a thread in that forum.
Nope. XD
You buy a character and all you need to get it to grow
is finish your RP requirements.
But some shops have a minor artist fee per growth since
in This is Halloween you can change your artist in between growths.
Some shops you only pay for the 1st stage and the rest is free
as you finish your RPs and your character grows.

How does your character grow then? O: like..does it depend on how many posts you make or something? O:
Also, I just love how you answer one thing but not the other...xD What do you think of the apprentice thing? xP

So having a character apprentice with one would be impossible. >>; I'm an artist not an RPer.... Started a bit on my own shop - Growth requirementsStill changing..and adding things Dx

Hotarla Hurrr hmm...>< so the NPCs only interact if the roleplayer interacts with them? And then the roleplayer will also sort of act as the NPC in reply?
Hoooh so I guess I was on the right track with the post count thing...xD only its word count...O: Only staff of the shop will be allowed to control an NPC. Which is what they are called NPCs. Non-playable Characters. Basically created as part of the background. I.e. You know the president exists and he does an important job, but it's highly unlikely you'll ever meet and talk with him. O__o And yup. I'm thinking of adding a shop currency from our Mini-games for characters to do if they have no one to RP with. O__o So they can grow their characters that way too.

Hotarla Hooooo...could you have roleplayers that are juuuuust below the rank of councilmen/women be the "teachers" then? xD;;
Ooooooh minigames! *w* have you decided what kinds? c: or maybe you could have like...mini events? I dunno...O: Explore the guild. XD Then ask me questions. There's a subforum on the minigames. O_____________o It's a shop. It would be too labor heavy to interact with every single player all the time. The point of the shop is for players to interact with each other. My job as a shop owner is to provide a setting and artwork for characters to play with.
