Got a question that wasn't answered here?
Feel free to post your queries in the shop thread. ^_^

Where do we RP?
Make a thread in one of the tribe subforums. Remember to put ORP,PRP, or ASK in your thread titles.


Are the guardians real humans?
Yes? They are regular human inhabitants of Elohino, just like us with no powers or anything like that. Though there has been the odd one (can you say quest? dun dun dun)

Can the guardians and their totem spirits understand each other?
Can guardians understand other totem spirits that aren't their own?

Yes and no. It depends how you want to play your characters.
I tend to think of it as the capability of the "Guardian"
Ones more attuned to the spirits and the like have an easier time understanding their totem and perhaps other peoples totems, while those who are not that great at it, probably can only speak or just sense the feelings of their own totem.
But that's just my take on it. Up to you really! 8D

Can the totem spirits understand the trees?
In general yes, but same as above. Some are just more capable than others or up to your preference.
I place my Nico pretty low on that capability ladder XD
Nico: Who wants to speak to trees anyway woo~ >:

Can one roleplay both the guardian and totem spirit as two seperate beings?
Yea, they are separate beings to begin with. ^_^
The totem, and then their human guardian. Usually the guardian is someone from the tribe who was deemed worthy enough to protect the totem in it's vulnerable early stages.
Then when they grow up, it's up to you to determine their relationship
(equal partnership, owner and totem pet, totem master w/human servant rofl, etc.)
When they reach Symbiosis (elder stage) that's when they sort of become one character.
But again, up to the player (can be separate entities just sharing one body).

As the totem spirits grow quickly, do the guardians grow at the same pace, or do they mostly stay the same through the totem spirits growings?
Again, up to you. ^_^
Though I think of a Real-Time month as equal to ~yr. Elohino time if you want to be a bit more realistic.
RL growing sched (more or less):
1-2 weeks as totem
2-3 weeks emerged
3+ weeks young/adolescant
To reach adult, person has to stop by shop frequently and/or RP in guild.
So that's around 1-2 years+ in Elohino time for a totem to grow.

    - You are welcome to play through the eyes of guardian and/or totem spirit. Or just as a regular human inhabitant if don't own a pet.
    - Please be literate and layoff bad font effects! No one likes struggling to read sloppy or bright yellow text.
    - In shop, it’s fine to do casual rp, one-liners and the like. But it might be best to take it to the guild if you want to do more serious/longer roleplays.
    - Remember to label guild threads with ORP, PRP, or ASK. They stand for Open, Private, or must Ask to join roleplays.
    - Include everyone if rping in shop. No one likes to be ignored. D:
    - Obviously no god-moding. Control your own characters…
    - Make it obvious when saying something out of character, ((like this)), or [ this]
More added if need be...

Guardians:
It is essential to make a human persona if you wish to reach symbiosis. The land and setting of Elohino reflect that of many early civilizations. You can add-on a picture of your guardian persona to your pet's cert like "so". Artwork can be bought from one of the portrait shops or can use your own art/other art you commissioned.

NOTE: You can also create a human character if you do not own a pet. This character will just be an ordinary inhabitant of Elohino.
Name:
Age: (in terms of looks)
Personality:
Description: (clothing/accessories/scars/etc)
Picture, if any: (art must be rightfullly yours, no taking anime pics off internet)
Brief Background:
It is best to make a journal, to keep track of RPs and whatnot, and also to update your bio when needed.
