___F.A.Q._______________________________


✧ Would the humans that come over had had any prior knowledge of the world? Through legends, their own research, etc?

Could be possible however it would most likely be guesses than true fact, and more myths and legends.

The Central Portal to the City of Nocte is a one way portal, meaning whatever goes in, nothing comes out. So once a human has gone into the portal, there's no way back out

There might be a possibility of legends concerning weird disappearances of people and portals appearing out of nowhere back in their world of origin but seeing as the portal only goes into Nocte, the only time the outsiders could have a clue about Nocte is if they were able to peer into an open portal before it closed without getting sucked in. Such occurrences are rare though, and time usually distorts the truth anyway.

✧ If a Denizen has already live within the city for a long time, like an elf can, then the tattoos they have be passed down from generation to generation (of course this wouldn't apply to the newcomers) or skip and show up on a descendant? (+ breeding info)

Actually once a Citizen has reached the 3rd stage, the tattoo that makes into into a Denizen (and a mythical creature) disappears and the character becomes that creature fully. I.E. once an elf, forever an elf.

So if that Elf Denizen were to have kids with another Denizen or Mundane human, the children would be Half- Elf or Half - something else. Mind you, you should only keep breedings within compatible species.

I.E. Elf needs to have stick A be able to go into Slot B. Would be hard to have an Elf try it out with a Blob monster. Unless there's a pretty good background RP history detailing why it is possible and the staff might consider granting breeding rights.

✧ My Citizen isn't human, can he/she go to Nocte via the Central Portal?
Only humans can cross the central portal, if their native parallel dimension has non-humans, they cannot cross the portal's threshold. However as long as your character is human, even though they might come from a dimension populated with non-humans, they can still cross the threshold of the Portal.
However if they have any non-human dna/trait at all in them, they will not be allowed.

✧ Will those that come into the City of Nocte be able to travel around to other parallel dimensions and timelines?
No. Sadly this is a one way trip. Once a character has gone through the portal and ended up in Nocte he/she can't go back to his/her home timelines or dimensions. Citizens also can't go to other timelines and dimensions aside from those within Nocte itself.

✧ Can we rollover extra RPs?
No. RPs that you have when your Citizen is one stage below will not count for the next stage's evolution. So your RPs when you were in Manifest stage will not count towards your growth to Power Stage.

✧ Can I RP if I don't have a Citizen?
Yes! If you have an Accepted De Civitate Nocte quest, you are free to RP him or her as a plain human with the Citizens of the shop. The only rule for this is that in an owner/non-owner RP, the owner starts the RP, and non-owners cannot start an RP together. Additionally, up to two owner/non-owner RPs can be counted for the owner's growth requirements, per stage. Only RPs started after the quest Citizen has come into existence can count for his or her growth requirements, however.


___CUSTOMS__________________________

✧ How can I get a semi-custom/custom?
Auctions or events are probably your best bet. You can try bribes if you're really dedicated. Just make sure you check artist slot availability and have an already accepted quest ready to go.

✧ What's the difference between a semi-custom/custom?
A semi-custom is basically a loose idea you have on the appearance of your Citizen, you're allowed to set 4 characteristics: Gender, Race/Class, Color Theme, Time-Period.
A custom on the other hand allows you full control of the characteristics of your Citizen from head to toe.

✧ Do you accept RL commissions for Citizens?
Not at the current moment.

✧ What are your limitations for customs?
Anything goes as long as it fits into the world of De Civitate Nocte, if you're paying for it. However, absolutely no cosplays or basing your Citizen off of any existing copyrighted characters. (i.e. Anime, games, TV shows etc...)
