    Far, far away, in another galaxy, universe, and timeline, a blue and green planet stands tilted against a void of stars. Within this world your perfectly average Asian novel fantasy lives and breathes, housing a myriad of races like elves, humans, beastkin, dragonkin, demonkin, magically kidnapped Japanese high-schoolers, orcs, and the rest of the other world menagerie, all trapped in a world of easy slow life and epic conflict. Unfortunately for you, this somehow translates into being pushed off to find work in the Adventurer's Guild, where a lack of work opportunities for an E rank newbie in larger settlements has driven you to a small frontier town, with barely a name to itself, let alone decent housing, or even a second story for the guild house.

    The empty fields of untamed grass and wide open sky only give way to the occasional forest and a few towering cliffs in the distance. The town itself is provincial, put lightly. A collection of hovels made up of wood and mud surround a slightly more robust inn and an auxullary wing to it, housing the guild branch itself. Inside rough men and women down on their luck as much as you down watered down ale with a mix of grim and determined expressions, for if one thing the frontier has ever offered, it is opportunities.

    The untamed land of Bog Basin Frontier is yet rich in resources, land, and monsters to harvest. Monsters whom the poorly crafted barricades around town can only deter if adventurers like you hold them with all they got! As nobles' interest in expansion has heightened after a recent failed attempt at conquest, you may yet make it big, return to civilization triumphant and respected. A ranker among peers! Still, first you need to register yourself with this branch, as they don't have yet any access to the communication crystals present pretty much everywhere else.


    This is an offshoot freeform Adventurer's Guild play by post role-playing game. Some basic rules apply to the entire game (limited to the game's forum threads), as follows:

    - You cannot control or describe the effects of actions on the characters controlled by staff or another player.
    - The roleplaying format requires you to write out any actions and dialogue inside the game as literary text. Any action or lines by a character you control, or descriptions of ingame items and the environment are considered In Character (IC) and follow this rule.
    - Any text inside a post not following the above rule are considered Out Of Character (OOC), and must either be marked as separate from the main body of text, or just kept outside of posts. An exception to this rule is posts within the OOC thread, which allows free discussion.
    - Each thread has its own separate rules which are valid in all other threads, and specified within each thread.
    - Present IC events are always concurrent to the day the game takes place OOC. This rule will be further elaborated on in other threads.
    - You can only participate after a signing up by posting a character described using the format in the spoiler below inside this thread and receiving written confirmation:


    Name: [Name]
    Appearance: [Image or description]
    Ability Summary: [Free text]
    Story: [Free text, can contain pure backstory or also a log of ingame activities]
    Companions: [Contains character sheets of companion NPCs in a nestled spoiler]
    Inventory: [Up to 5 items of note the character always carries around]
    Storage: [Items of note the character has access to between missions. Only one can be used outside of the frontier town per task.]

    Keep a link to your character post in your signature, please.

    Some character creation guidelines:

    There are no restrictions, except to character power. All characters will start at E rank, following these rules:

    So any godlike entities will still be as powerful as a normal human being, with the added requirement of there existing justification on why they are so.

    About the game:

    AG Frontier revolves around completing daily tasks set out by GMs and listed inside a thread, which in the setting are quests by the guild. The story will progress through weekly quests which will change the theme for the quest board, based on current events. Characters will be able to grow very powerful, if players can spare the weekly effort. This is achieved by completing tasks within role-play, as outlined in the game's threads. Cooperating on tasks is encouraged and will be further incetivised. Quest completion limits will be tight, so you need to be active.

    Preferably because it's more convenient for other players and the staff, yes. It's not obligatory with this game, however.

    Good. Keep in mind you start at E rank, so some restrictions to how much explosions happen will apply until you break your limits and I rank you up. The magnums and OP items are fine, except the water bag. It's restricted to a flow enough to drink from, but not to flood an area without given enough days.

    Yeah, I was just imagining it to be a kumis or a water pouch. It's really small so there's not gonna be enough water for a flood even if I want to.

    Well, here's the bit on power levels:
    It will be posted in the main thread tomorrow, as part of the ruleset. Basically you write out a story of your character doing quests listed on a quest board (in another thread), and post them to get points, which eventually allow you to purchase a rank up. There's also freeform roleplay, which will be needed in case you want to write a report together with other people to save on time and effort, or just to interact for fun. Quests change and/or reset every day, and are given as writing prompts with a bit of additional info.

    There aren't hard stats outside of growth point limits, it relies on your imagination within the rules. The story will change based on what players write, but an overall theme will be given each week. There are several veterans currently preparing their characters, so if you need help with something specific, they should be able to aid you in the OOC thread.

    Check the rules in the original post. There will be a thread for discussing the game outside of character. Basically means that while most of the threads require you to write as your character or as a narrator to that character, in the OOC thread you can just chat normally.

    All additional game threads will be posted tomorrow.

    Sounds interesting, but I am a complete newbie and have absolutely no Idea how that works so if someone could explain me or show me an example of how to create a character (like what is allowed and what not) that would be really appreciated. If I'm even allowed to partake in this as a complete newbie.

    I'm a newbie too...Ehehe... You can search up the Adventurer's Guild thread in the forums. The first page has detailed information about the rules. As for the character sheet, just make it up. The only thing you need to make sure of is that it should make sense. Just use mine as a reference.

    Remember to submit character sheets in the format inside the spoiler tag on the OP.
