β–· FAQ RECAP


β–Ά EVENT CYCLES.
βœ— Reminder that January is the start of the schedule of a TEST DRIVE / SIMULATION and then KAIJU FIGHT the next month. This is to help with pacing.
βœ— January will have TDM, apps, and another network mingle with training / team building exercise.
βœ— February will be the kaiju fight on the 1st.
β–Ά LOCATIONS RELATED.
βœ— We have updated the locations to include Tokyo Bay.
βœ— The game takes place in an alternate version of our world. Characters can find many familiar landmarks and so on. However, some things may be destroyed and smaller items may have been stolen in past battles/chaos. So for example, they can find the Eiffel Tower or Tokyo Tower but it’s also possible that the Statue of Liberty may have been destroyed or the Mona Lisa was stolen. If you want to play around with this, contact the mods so we can keep track of important landmarks and cultural items for world building reasons.
βœ— In general, there’s a lot of freedom for characters on base. They can use the cafeteria to cook their own food if they want or purchase appliances and items that may not have been included when they arrived.
βœ— While it is technically against LILITH’s rules, they can sleep outside their quarters so it’s fine to sleep over with other people. There will be no IC reprimanding for this. Have all the slumber parties you want.
βœ— They can decorate their living area with their own personal touches like posters, kettles, plants, and anything else. Think of it as a small apartment.
β–Ά POWERS CLARIFICATION.
βœ— We have a list of POWERS that are NERFED no matter what. Some people have clarified in their application that certain powers of theirs is nerfed and some did not. This does not mean it is not nerfed. We are assuming you, as a player, are aware of the powers that are discarded even if your application was accepted. We will be seeing to make sure people comply with this rule and may result in a warning.
Immortality, necromancy, time/reality bending, hypnosis and mind control, power erasure, one hit KO's are the examples of powers are completely discarded. Please refer back to the POWERS section of the FAQ for further details.
β–Ά PERSONAL ITEM VS FREEBIE ITEM.
βœ— Characters whose powers and abilities rely on an item does not count as their personal item as it is unfair for people who have powers without an item to also ask for a personal item. Example: Genshin Impact characters may arrive with their Visions already and ask for something else as their personal item.
βœ— Items that can appear and manifest as apart of an ability may also ask for a separate personal item as this is part of their abilities, not requesting to bring an item with them.
β–Ά CODE NAME CLARIFICATION.
βœ— Codenames are the same as usernames used on the network. We will clarify this specifically on the APPLICATION page considering it left some confusion when given the opportunity fo LILITH to set their codename (otherwise their network username.) Any characters in the first application round who ended up with a codename they did not like can change it to whatever they'd wish.
β–Ά TECHNOLOGY.
βœ— Cloaking is mandatory when they leave base. Players can try to get around this if they have a plot in mind, but please contact the mod team before doing anything like this. Cloaking will automatically occur when characters who do not look completely human leave the base.
βœ— SYNDATA information is private. It is basically LILITH's case files for each Outsider and serves as OOC information. Characters do not have access to SYNDATA information.
βœ— The implants will provide important information to players such as missions, debriefs, and general information about the world.
βœ— In general, the simulation training room is off limits but characters may be allowed to use it because Seok Dang is pretty chill. Repetitive use of the simulation room may result in side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and dissociation.
βœ— Characters can use the simulation to spar with each other if they wish.
β–Ά AC, BONUS POINTS, REWARDS.
βœ— We just talked about this and mentioned it on plurk, but want a space to announce it here. December was an AC free month but players can use their activity to claim bonus AC. They can claim it along with their January bonus AC but just need to separate January and December's points.
βœ— Reminder that characters may not request any items from home no matter how big or how small. This may change in the future, but for now, only items on the Reward sheet can be requested.

β–Ά PLAYER PLOTS.
βœ— If players are interested in running their own player plots, they’re welcome to. If it’s a small, personal plot (only affecting a few players and no huge effects on the game), you can go ahead and do it. It looks like a lot of players are doing that and we encourage it! Have your smutty firefighter calendar log, your team related party, arena challenges, etc.
βœ— If it’s a bigger plot that might involve a lot of people or have an effect on the game, reach out to us first.

β–Ά MATERIALIZING IN NEO TOKYO.
βœ— Digital and spiritual entities that normally cannot be seen by normal humans will materialize in a physical form that people can see. Their forms will be physical, solid, and flesh. This applies to things like familiars too. These items will not be cloaked when leaving the base, so please be careful.
βœ— In general, characters with special conditions like incurable illnesses, disabilities, vampire diets, etc can have their needs taken care of when they materialize. LILITH could cure their diseases, restore their sight, or provide them with whatever special food/material they may need. However, we understand that these are usually important parts of characters so if you want to deal with these conditions, you’re more than welcome to say things like LILITH hasn’t found a cure for their disease yet or they only provide limited support for their special needs. Players are welcome to contact the mods on the mod contact page if they want to play around with things more.
βœ— In the same vein, characters who were injured before death can manifest with their injuries or without. Characters who are dead may arrive and know they have died. They can have scars or wounds involving their death if players wish or be completely healed.

β–Ά NETWORK (LINE) RELATED INFO.
βœ— You can set your own profile picture.
βœ— You can block users and while there is usually no way around this, it can sometimes β€œglitch” at the player’s discretion for fun (like during the text mingle).
βœ— Yes, you can use stickers.
βœ— Yes, you can customize your theme so you can change the color/display of your LINE.

β–Ά LEAVING THE BASE.
βœ— Reminder that the cloaking technology is mandatory and automatic for characters who require it.
βœ— Characters are free to have whatever jobs they really want and can change them at will. It’s just supposed to be a fun mechanic to play around with and won’t really have any huge significance in the game. Have your side plot where Sasuke is stocking grocery shelves and hates it. Do whatever you like.
βœ— Characters are free to break rules like steal, do vandalism, etc. For small things, players don’t really need to stress but for bigger actions, they should probably contact the mods to see if there will be consequences.

β–Ά GENERAL REMINDER.
As always, asking questions about anything is fine! The mod team is generally pretty open to suggestions and there's a lot of things in a world like this that could need some more details and also a lot of things to work with for new ideas. You're welcome to ask any questions below in this post in regards to the FAQ RECAP.
