The Basics Welcome to the SSV-Romulus VI, a military RP based around the concept and theme of Space Marines. The SSV-Romulus VI is a text based RPG played on Habboon.com. When on the client, our rooms can be found by searching 'Manderfeld', or 'Romulus VI' in the navigator, or by clicking ont the RPG floor option. The SSV-Romulus VI allows players to experience a space-based environment as Space Marines (or, known commonly within the Imperial Corps as Fighternaughts), Space Pirates, Civilians, or anything else that could possibly cross your mind (aside from benevolent spaghetti Gods -- Yes, I have been asked and No, sorry to say, I cannot). Create your character, join an offical faction, or make your own, and explore the various rooms that I will be developing over the course of this RP's life. Getting Started Obviously, in order to RP you need to have a Habboon account. I do not care for specific usernames, so you are free to keep any other current accounts. Come to the room whenever there is an RP in session, join the main group, and create your character. Members who join the Member's group will have added benefits, such as saved character progression, housing, access to the Forum, and other such details -- like a say in what happens in the RP permanently. And, of course, access to the RP itself since the room is locked behind a members gate ![]() Timeline Set in 2677, the Roleplay itself takes place a decade or so after what is known as the 'Fifth Compromise'; a catastrophic war between the Allied Hegemony of Earth and the Regius Imperium De Mārs, and is set onboard the SSV-Romulus VI, a space frigate of the Imperial Fleet. The timeline of this RP moves on from the first official day of RP, and will continue up until the whole thing is rebooted. Every RP session, I will update the time, and it can be found upon an alert when one enter's the RP. Death If you are a Member, your character has the option to go into the morge to await resurrection. This can take several in-game days, or even weeks, and usually occurs over the course of an RP session. Otherwise, if a character is killed, you are unable to use that character again (unless there is a reboot). Non-members die and die permanently. Federations and Factions The backbone of the RP, Federations and Factions are groups of players who all unite under one banner to protect certain interests. As of currently, there are four official factions: two 'groups', and two 'federations', which will contain the bulk of the players. This RP is not a half-hearted scifi trope; factions will fight, and fight to the death, destroy each other, commit subterfuge, and generally mess with each other as often as possible. Peace, for long, is not an option, and is only brought about during outside threats. A Few Important Terms In the RP, you will see players use a few terms which are a must know for any player to fully understand the game. The most important of these terms are listed below: In Character (IC) is anything that is known by your character and relates to the behavior and actions of your character. When role playing, remaining in character is a must, and any knowledge you gather in character should be kept in character. Out Of Character (OOC) is anything you know as a player and real person away from your character. If OOC is necessary, players can speak OOC whilst role playing by using [], or (typing like so). If you choose to disrupt a players scene by going out of character, you are eligible to be kicked and banned from the room, or muted. Metagaming is using out of character knowledge or information in character. It is also against the rules to reveal important in character information to other players out of character. Metagaming is strictly forbidden in this RP, and is subject to a warning. Examples of Metagaming: - Username1 reads Username2's name on his screen and begins role playing as if he knew Username1's name. - Username1 has been told out of character that Username2 is a rival clan information and uses that information to influence is in character actions and decisions. - Username1 uses the console to inform Username2 out of character that someone is on their way to attack Username1. Powergaming is roleplaying outcomes that are out of a person’s control or performing unrealistic or impossible tasks. Like Metagaming, Powergaming is also forbidden in this RP. Examples of Powergaming: - Username1 punches Username2 in the head and declares him/her dead. (Note – the correct form of role play would be for Username2 to state the effect of the punch). - Username1 fires a fireball at Username2, causing him to immediately explode and kill everyone in the general vicinity. - Username1 jumps over a building in order to escape an assailant. Strikes and Bans In this RP, there is a strike and ban system. Like in baseball, three strikes and you’re out! If an account receives three strikes, said account is now banned. This means you can no longer role play on that account unless the ban is revoked by a staff member. If three of your accounts are banned, as a player, you are banned from the role play. Strikes can be received for a breaking any of the rules you have, or are about, to read. Enclosure In order to access official rooms and the forum, you are going to need to be a member of the badge called "SSV-Romulus RP" This badge is owned by my own personal account and is routinely managed by the team to ensure that the roleplaying environment is one that we can all enjoy. There is a criteria that your account needs to meet for it to remain eligible to join/remain in the badge: - Mustn't be a banned account or belong to a banned user. - Must have a select character ready for immediate use. - Have some form of character sheet planned for posting in 10 days or less. Things that could result in your account being remove/denied include: - Breaking rules - Being an inactive roleplaying account For more rules information, please consult the next in the Rules Series. |
