CHARACTER NAME: Dedicate Redflame. His grub name was Hendon Sangha. CHARACTER GENDER: Male. APPEARANCE: The Dedicate wears Alifax's ordinary getup, but he wears unburnt articles of clothing instead. He also wields meteor hammers. CLASS: Warsworn aestheticate, a class flavored as a member of a religious sect devoted to the inherent beauty and language of combat. BACKSTORY: Alifax does none of the roleplaying and a lot of the fighting. TEAM: Team WHO STARTED THE FIRE? + sarcel cincil
CHARACTER NAME: Cantie Velian CHARACTER GENDER: Male. APPEARANCE: A well-dressed, wealthy-looking teenager wielding a trident encrusted with carnelian. His clothing is perhaps a bit too frilly to be of especially great use in combat, but it's great for concealing cane-swords. CLASS: Empirical Impauster, a character who is noticeably unfinned but acts as one regardless. They tend to be high in charisma. BACKSTORY: Cantie's primary job is a seadweller's body double. While actually redblooded (as anyone who injured him would note), he dresses in purple with false fins (Alifax will tell anyone who asks that his character is a seadweller). This means he's often placed in peril, risking attack or kidnapping by particularly bold trolls who want something from a member of Alternia's ruling class. TEAM: n/a. Narrative roleplay only.

registration Alifax and Frossa, the league officials in charge of registration, don't give any shits about character development. Therefore to join the League, potential FLARPers must create a character (name, class, and brief appearance.).

backstory For bonus FXP, you may post a backstory for your character one time. There's a minimum word count of five hundred words to qualify, and the backstory will not count as a roleplay for growth requirements. This is just for the purposes of roleplaying.

how to flarp
Are you interested in running your own game of FLARP? Excellent!
The league officially endorses two forms of FLARPing - narrative FLARP, and competitive FLARP. Recording your attempts at either of these will reward you with FXP, which can be used at our handy perk shop!
narrative flarp This is a method of FLARPing suitable for all kinds of players! It requires at least one clouder and two to five players (you may have a larger number of players, but we recommend at least one clouder for every set of five in your group - things will run much more smoothly that way!). Generally this is a FLARP with a stated goal or plot in mind, controlled and written by the clouder.
We will reward FXP for these based on activity alone. Players qualify for FXP after posting in 2/3 of the clouder's posted rounds for a total of at least 500 words. (Basically, we'll only give you FXP if you're fairly active in the roleplay, don't treat it as a solo, and qualify for RP credit normally.)
Clouders qualify for FXP after posting at least 500 words of roleplay or flavor text. In addition, at least two players for every clouder involved must qualify for FXP for the clouder to also qualify. Clouding is about leadership and providing an interesting story that engages your players!
Especially good clouding (very cool puzzles or an interesting, complex storyline, or a clouder who responds to individual posts) may receive extra FXP. A clouder should include at least one backstory post describing the context of the roleplay and at least one closing post describing the outcome of the roleplay. These posts will count for FXP as long as you include roleplay in them!
There are no set stats for narrative FLARPs. You may make up your own if you'd like! Homebrew is fun. biggrin
You may split your FLARP into multiple threads, but will only receive FXP once for a FLARP with a single storyline with a certain number of players. Posting an additional sequel or second episode of your FLARP qualifies as a new FLARP. Re-running a plot qualifies as a new FLARP, too, as long as people can't get answers from the previous run.
You can use any sort of mechanics to determine success in your game! Check out our 2015 Bloodfest booth for some examples. You may use Hivestuck battle mechanics but you are not required to do so.
Occasionally the league will organize mass narrative FLARPs, for which you may be able to receive OOC rewards.
competitive flarp This is a much more structured form of FLARPing, but it comes with structured, built-in rewards. Two teams of two trolls (who must be teenagers or older) each will compete directly against each other. Each team must consist of one player and one clouder. Your troll may switch off in subsequent FLARPs, and may also participate with different partners in subsequent FLARPs. However, you will be compensated with extra rewards for sticking with a consistent partner (you may switch between the roles of player or clouder as you'd like, though).
To play, create two Hivestuck battle threads: one between the clouder of Team A and the player of Team B, and one between the clouder of Team B and the player of Team A. During the course of the battle thread, instead of just melee combat (although that can happen, too!), the clouder should place obstacles in order to deter the player from some goal. These can include traps and smaller monsters, or even puzzles, so long as they do come with antagonistic intent and are possible to respond to (for example, a puzzle might punish you by somehow harming you if you get the answer wrong). The player can attempt to overcome the clouder's obstacles in any way possible, including locating the clouder and actually attacking them.
Continue battle until one player mechanically reaches 0HP. Your team wins if your player overcomes the clouder's obstacles (which means both teams can win, and that both teams can lose.). Winning your FLARP gets you a premade prize randomly picked from our pool of prizes. They are IC prizes and do not net you any mechanical benefit.
You may have a pre-determined winner if you'd like, and merely use the HP as a gauge of progress (as outlined in the Hivestuck battle rules). If you are seen as exploiting this rule to get infinite amounts of prizes for yourself and your friends, it will change. We allow pre-determined winners so that people can conveniently lose for their plots, not so that everyone gets prizes always.
Participating in a battle through to the end (filling out RP for every post until someone gets to 0 HP) nets you FXP - even if your partner does not also get to the end. In other words, as long as your troll's battle thread with their opponent qualifies you for battle credit under Hivestuck rules, you will receive FXP.
The league will occasionally organize larger scale tournaments, for which you may be able to receive OOC prizes.
