Shadow of the Rock


Characters


Becoming a wraith requires one basic thing: the person has to die. Then, if her Passions and Fetters are strong enough, she will linger on in the Shadowlands...at least for awhile.

The only limitation for Wraith characters are their Arcanoi. No character submitted should have any Arcanos beginning at Level 5, nor host several Arcanoi at Level 4. Keep the character sensible; if such high levels are displayed too readily, the character will be asked to leave the TUG. This has less to do with potential power abuse and illogical social stratification. The leaders of the factions are and always will be background NPCs that will almost never be seen (except in plotlines a player may choose to run). When submitting your character’s name to add to the TUG roster, include only the character’s general faction: Stygian, Heretic, Guildmate, Renegade, Yellow Springs, or freewraith. And if you wish to play a Risen Dead, note that the character is Risen Dead in addition to faction. Remember, no Spectres are to be approved for this TUG. Submit them to the Shades of Darkness game.

Below is a current character roster of those PCs involved in the SoR game. Even the most basic information regarding these characters (faction) must be discovered IC. Only the name of the player of the character will be listed; contacting said player is left to his peers' devices (using the mailing list is a good idea).

    Circles


    The formation of circles in the Shadow of the Rock game is strictly voluntary and personal. They are well-advised, both IC and OOC. Players wishing to run plots can more effectively wind them around established (or establishing) circles instead of random characters.
