This thread is the place to post anything regarding World of Hyrule that is not from a character's point of view (unless you are posting from a third-person omniscient point of view but let's not complicate things).

There are no signups so do what you will, come and go as you please, and engage in what activities you want to. Imagine the world as OoT/TP/ALttP/LoZ/AoL/...all of them. Whatever needs to be there basically for you to enjoy what you're doing. You could, for instance, travel from Lon Lon Ranch to Ordon Village via raft for all I care, just do your best not to retcon what somebody else has posted. You could float across the ocean to the Isle of Koholint, the land of Holodrum, or to Labrynna. You could reach the Great Sea Isles or New Hyrule. You could create a portal to Termina or Lorule or trek over the passes to Calatia! Enjoy the freedom of movement without abusing it!

Rules for this specific RP, please adhere to them as often as possible.

1. Don't be an idiot: Self explanatory, don't handle other's characters without permission (the OOC thread is great for this!), no posting ads, no flaming or going off on tangents that don't belong in a role play, etc.

2. Keep it child-friendly: On the off chance a younger soul wants to play, I want this role play to be kept clean. Having started role playing Zelda around 2001, I was lucky enough to find a place to role play in an inviting environment that didn't make me uncomfortable and my parent's wouldn't have had to question who I was interacting with based on their posts. No porn or sexually explicit content (if you have to question it, don't post it). No excessive gore or violence (if you have to question it, it's probably excessive). No swearing (if you're not sure.....you get the idea).

3. Use OOC Sparingly: If you want to talk to somebody else about something in the RP ("Hey, let me kill ur guy!"), do it here, not in the IC thread. If you want to clear something up about the RP, your post, your character's motivation, or permissions in a sentence or two, you may do so in the IC thread. Just ensure that you use the OOC tag.

4. *Rule Change* God-Moding: God Mod is on. If you want to single-handedly cut down a legion of Iron Knuckles in one swing, that's your prerogative. Fly through the air as a Zora with wings, breathe fire as a Hylian, build a base on the moon for all I care. One note, God-Mode should not affect other players. If a player has just spent three posts fighting an army of Iron Knuckles, don't come through in a sentence and "i keel all teh iern nucls w/ mi boogur laZ0rz!!!!!!!!111111".

5. The Obligatory "Have Fun" Rule: Do that.

Other than that, post any character bios you have here, discuss the role play, ask each other permission to do things, enjoy the role play.

Of course no one needs to use the character bio format I used. I don't even remember from whence I got it, I just think it's expansive and helps give people something solid with which to work. Also, remember that posting in this RP doesn't obligate you in any way. You can come and go as you please and post as short or long of posts as you want. I just started flipping through some other RPs here and realized how short most of the posts are. Feel free to RP the way you always have, weather you post four sentences once a month or four paragraphs once an hour. I'm looking forward to seeing people post so the world can take on some depth!

I just looked at your RP, haven't really read yet, but I can see how it's intimidating to try and join. People are probably interested, but the style is like how Storm described. Like chapters in a novel. I think my only concern myself if I were to join in is not, would I be able to make similar posts, but what happens should characters interact?
Posts in the style that I see most commonly here are small enough to be able to reply, respond, and react to other characters in individual instances, whereas a posting style like mine doesn't allow for that in the same way. My intent for this role play was not for everyone to engage in the same storyline but to start their own storyline or maybe a storyline with one or two other people. A role playing world like this is engaging for its disparate stories and diverse styles of play, creating a realm full of separate but connected characters and events. Of course this style of role playing has its downfalls like not interfering with another RPers storyline or historical canon but the community here seems to be respectful and mature enough to look past these things and work with and around each other. I was hoping that, as I continued and others joined, I'd be able to find several people with whom I liked to role play and possibly start another role play eventually that's more conducive to long posts. What I mean is that, when role players know and understand each other, I've had many successful role plays where players used other people's characters without encroaching on their role playing freedom. When several acquainted people enter into a role play together with the understanding that each player will control each character to some degree, possibilities are opened up and understanding of other characters and role players are deepened. That's kind of my eventual plan coming out of role playing here, I'd like to be a part of a role playing group at some point that shares a mutual trust deep enough to allow for more of a "shared storytelling" environment. But for World of Hyrule, I think we can all get along well enough to mesh our play styles for a bit!

That's basically it. Jerec, a decanus in the Hyrule Royal Army and one of his men, Kayn, are deep in a grotto in Kokiri Forest where they are searching for Blind, whose gaggle of thieves attacked Mido (the town). So basically, if you want to, you could interact with Mido in some way and the aftermath there, or you could totally do your own thing to start with. I've got Blind for a bit and as long as nobody else wants to call dibs, Jerec is taking care of Blind. Nice first post, by the by, I like the direction. Remember, no responsibility to post several paragraphs at once.

Heh. Actually I will say it's going in a different direction. But there may be a little bit of fighting.
