Hi everyone, I'm new relatively new to role playing, in that I've dabbled in a few (read: one) sites before now, and I loved it. However, the last site went down a least a year ago and I was looking for a new one.

Just recently I heard about this site from a friend in my town, and I'm eager to start role playing again.

Sooo... Hi.

Welcome, Norgod. I am Zerrer, resident Warlord. I am the leader of the magnificent Felbeasts.

Soon people will start giving you homicidal gifts like acid, opening canned greetings, and telling you to do stuff like depositing your sanity in the skull-shaped baskets, lest it turn into purple goo and leak out of your ears.

But they mean well.


Most of them... *eyes "Certain" People*


Certain = all of them

Welcome to hades, unfortunate one. I am the Mad Miss Maraha, who, at the moment, is more depressed and alone than mad. My only friends are avoiding me like the plague, and I only have like... four to begin with. But that's not of your concern, so here's some canned greeting, just like the great seer Zerrer foretold.

Canned Greeting wrote:
Welcome to the Blackstar Role Playing Dojo!

If you are new to the world of Role Playing, you may wish to start at the Training Dojo, where any of our staff will be more than happy to help you learn the game.

The most important part of role playing is the development of a character. This is required before you participate in most role plays. You can look at examples of characters in our Hall of Records. Once you have a character, you can post your profile in there.

Once you have a character and some training, you may wish to join a role play. The most active of Role Playing boards is The Wilds. There are many other role playing boards for RPs of a specific location or type. Explore as much as you can.

A new feature to the Dojo is the addition of items. Most items have a way to be synthed, or combined, with other items to form usable items. Usable items will be listed in a pull down menu when you create a post, enabling you to specify which item you are using, who is using it, and what their target is. Usable items have a hit % and a break %. If you're lucky, your item use will suceed, if not, it will miss. Either way, there is a chance that your item will break and become unusable. See our wiki article on Items for more information.

Several of the boards are non-RPing boards. Boards like Announcements, General Chat, and Bugs and Features are examples of non-RPing boards. Be sure to explore these too.

We only have a few rules:
1. Respect other people, and treat them as you wish to be treated.
2. Do not argue with the Admins and Mods. They have plenty of work already. If you really have a beef with something, discussing it in a logical and calm manner will get you miles farther than whining.
3. No Powerplaying. This means forcing actions on other people. For more information on Powerplaying and how to avoid it, please refer to "Powerplaying" on our wiki.

If you have any questions during your stay here, you may ask one of the administrators or moderators. You can recognize us by our belts: Gold Dragons on the belt of an Admin, Silver on the belt of a mod.

Should you be unable to contact an Admin or you want your answer quickly, you can always refer to the Blackstar Wiki.

Please also be advised that Blackstar is considered highly addictive and may result in symptoms of insomnia, crankiness, longing for insanity, and general RP itch if you discontinue use.

Welcome to the forum, dude. Here, have a glass of pixie punch...

Oh, and leave your sanity in the skull-shaped baskets at the door. That stuff /stains/, man.

*Takes the glass of (what I assume is) pink liquid and sips it* (Did I do that right? Just going on the RP style from my last forum here...)

I appreciate the welcome, but whoever said I was a "dude"? Wink

Maraha I would be overjoyed to be your friend if you're running low on them Very Happy

And thanks for your cautionary words Zerrer, I will watch my step.

I suppose I'll scrap my old characters and start anew... Any tips?

DON'T create so much backstory that you have to spend 10 years in here just for other people to understand just who your character is.

I made that mistake.

Welcome, he who must not be warned.

Oh, you were warned. Damn it Zerrer!

I am The Dark Psycho, Head Admin and High Sensei of the Dojo, and the asterisk (*) method is but one of the RP methodologies we prescribe to here at Blackstar. Another is the narrative form, which takes a bit to be able to pull off successfully, but has an amazing effect when done right.

Oh, and that stuff you just drank, is 110% alcohol (with other chemicals mixed in) and can eat through anything. It makes Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters seem tame.

Please avoid the mutant chickens, whilst we are commencing with the warnings.

If you thought Emus were bad...

Here's a sample of another RP style.

"Actually, the mutant chickens are more like Tame Emus. Still dangerous, but without the ability to breathe fire and shot lasers out of their eyes." Zerrer spoke both to DP and Norgod; to Norgod, explaining what the mutant chickens were; and to DP, persisting in his belief that emus are the worst things in the multiverse.

"They may lack the fire breathing, but there has been unconfirmed reports that they are developing laser eyes. Anyways, Emu feathers are still just feathers, where as Mutant Chicken feathers are made up of a metallic alloy stronger than steel and form sort of protective armor." DP replied, with a contemptuous look at Zerrer. Who was this insect to tell him that He had done a poor job genetic engineering the Mutant Chickens?

Yes, but emus have no remorse, as well as talons that are so sharp they can rip the fabric of time and space itself.

plus, chickens, even mutant chickens, are silly to be afraid of.

Emus are not so silly to fear.

Neither is HLS.

Sfot: Zerrer, if you don't showing off to the new guy, I'll be forced to hit you harder. *smacks him around the head*
Zerrer: *is sent flying into the wall* D: Ow...
Sfot: The day Mutant Chickens crossbreed with Emus is the day we all get screwed, m'kay? End. Of. Argument.
F-O: This is an ego-script, another form of RPing. When practiced in places like the Bingo Hall, they can be rather silly and quite fun to read. They're not often used in a full on RP, but when they are the results get very intresting.

Welcome to the Dojo dearie! Very Happy It seems as if you've gotten a nice reception already, so I'll simply leave my offer of help (just ask) and a yummy cookie for you and I'll be on my way. Wink

*places a plate with a slip of paper and a cookie on it in front of Norgod*

"That might not be a normal cookie! It might be poison!" Zerrer thought awhile, then added: "Or it might be a normal cookie! Addman is coming!"

Ah, then I assume you are a dudette? Oh, and I think a friendship between us would prove to be most pleasurable. Perhaps a fun little ego scripting in the Bingo Hall would be an excellent way for our characters to get to know each other in a less... fuddy-duddical manner.

*COUGH*SIDENOTEGAMEISLOADSOFFUN*/COUGH*

... Is fuddy-duddical even a word?
