Character Journals: Each Mer that is sent out into the world will have a thread created by yours truly (that is to say, Mr. Director). The opening post shows the current Cert, who the owner/guardian/parent is, and links to pictures past stages of the Mer (the images from the cert at different stages).

All of the rest of the thread, is, of course, the domain of the guardian.

A good idea of things to put in your thread:
  • Character sheets for your mer, and the guardian
  • Where they live: Description, maps, whatever you want.
  • "Solo RPs": Basically short stories involving the mer, guardian, or both, but no other player's characters.
  • Links to RPs: to find what interesting things have come to pass
  • And, of course Journal entries. Almost the same as Solo RPs, but written as if the guardian, or the mer, wrote it out. I don't know about you, but I certainly don't write in third person when talking about myself.


You are, of course, welcome to deviate from that list, more or less as you see fit... but do remember that this is an RP shop. The idea is to develop your characters, have fun with it, and have fun doing so with others. It's definitely helpful to have background information on characters, even if you're not the one playing them.

Plus, you don't get your new stages without the RPs, so... razz
