Guild Information: The Players of Roles

[Judas D'arc]

Here is some general information about the Players of Roles [RP1] guild:

1) What is the Players of Roles [RP1] guild?

The Players of Roles [RP1] is a community of different guilds, as well as unaffiliated characters. Our players share a similar play-style and have come together under one umbrella to facilitate communication and activity. However, RP1 does not exist as an in-character concept, and there is no overall shared identity within the game world.

Current Guilds include:

- The Riverwatch Rangers [RR]: A ranger order originally founded by Okami and formed to bring together rangers from across the kingdom for the safeguarding of Britannia and to uphold the Eight Virtues.

- The Emerald Fist [EF]: Years ago, this group of sometimes adventurers, often outlaws roamed the lands, combating evils and authorities in equal measure, and disbanding after their final battle against an other-worldly invasion. The current incarnation of the Fist is based in the Trinsic, protecting the City of Honor and the rest of the kingdom from threats deemed great, strange, and small.

- Library of Scars [LIB]: A renowned Jhelom mercenary guild with a long history and tradition. Their members are considered a less than moral and profit-oriented lot. [Please advised, the Library of Scars consists of alternate characters of players active in other RP1 guilds. They are primarily played for event or story-related purposes, and do not currently organize activities, recruit, or hold events].

- The Players of Roles [RP1]: A collection of unaffiliated, independent, or miscellaneous characters gathered together on one guild roster for the purpose of facilitating interaction.

- The Players of Rivals [RP2]: Similar to the Players of Roles, but for antagonists and plot characters. This guild is not part of the RP1 alliance, but shares some of the same players.

Former Sub-Guilds include:

- The Holy Fist [HF]: An order dedicated to the defense and security of Trinsic. The membership of the Holy Fist consists of local paladins, knights, mages, and others that are sworn to protect their home and its inhabitants in a manner that favors virtues over law.

- The Rangers of Spiritwood [RoS]: A loose collective of good-aligned rangers in the Ultima tradition who are based in forest of Spiritwood. They follow the virtue of Spirituality and are dedicated to serving and protecting others and the world around them.

2) What is your play-style?

We're role-players, which means we assume the roles of the characters we play in-game. However, role-playing means more than standing around and talking in Medieval speak. While our characters do engage in social interaction, they also go on quests, hunt monsters, fight other characters, etc. We just do these things in-character, not as our real life selves.

3) How do I join your guild?

We don't really emphasize recruitment in the way many guilds do, but we're always interested in interacting with other characters and opening our events and story lines to them. If you have a character and you are interested in joining any of our guilds, please contact the appropriate GM below.

4) Where can I find you in game?

This is dependent upon the particular character, most often our players can be found in and around the City of Britain on the Trammel Facet. Our central gathering hub is the Salty Dog Tavern, located in East Britain. Each active, affiliated guild also has their own respective headquarters.

5) Where can I find you out of game?

The Players of Roles maintains a private Discord server for its members. Please contact me for further information.

The Players of Roles is the forum for an assortment of different guilds. However, it does not exist as an in-character concept, and there is no overall shared identity within the game world.

Current Guilds:

- The Riverwatch Rangers [RR]: Originally founded by the ranger Okami, the Riverwatch Rangers were formed to bring together rangers from across the kingdom for the safeguarding of Britannia and to uphold the Eight Virtues. In this time the rangers faced off against several enemies, and though they were able to prevail against these threats, those in the order would soon part ways to heal from their adventures. But now, a new call has been issued and the time has come for life to return once more to the quiet glade of Riverwatch in Spiritwood.

- The Emerald Fist [EF]: Decades ago, this group of adventures and (sometimes) outlaws battled evil and authority in equal measure, eventually disbanding after most of their ranks sacrificed themselves to thwart an other-worldly invasion. Years later, a mix of surviving and new members reformed to contend with new and mysterious threats to Sosaria, which they continue to do in a very Fist-like manner. The current iteration of the Emerald Fist has settled near Trinsic and serves as that city's defenders.

- The Players of Roles [RP1]: A collection of unaffiliated, independent, or miscellaneous characters gathered together on one guild roster for the purpose of facilitating interaction.

- The Players of Rivals [RP2]: A non-guild for antagonists and plot characters.
