In-Character Packet

Tridivir is the goddess of Nouva (the planet) and can teleport things and living creatures through time and space, including from alternate dimensions and timelines. She's created the city using this power by taking buildings from other planets.

The goddess seems to speak only to Vergil according to the introduction. It even says that Vergil and his lusus were the first to be chosen to live on the planet. The goddess somehow senses the different threads of fate of each individual troll and how great, negative or positive, and this affects her choice of who to teleport to Nouva. She shows no indication of being good or evil. She doesn't know which path they will walk down or what exactly is at the end of it, but whatever choice they make is up to them. She doesn't care if the trolls negatively impact her world or not. She only feels like they should be there.

Tridivir has Vergil host deadly games but those who die during the games will not remain a corpse and come back to life instead. Those who earn the most points during her games she will keep watch over. She grants a special power that allows the player to teleport themselves or someone else and create things from thin air (creative mode).

She is curled up at the top of the small mountain that contains the shrine that player first appear in and looks like a giant worm.

Fate and Regrets - The Beginning of the End
Tridivir can become ill. If she is ill all the foliage on the planet will wither and eventually die. And with it, her citizens as well if she can not be saved.

Fate and Regrets - The False Interpreter
There are multiple goddess or, as they're actually called, 'celestial beings'. This particular translation confused Vergil into believing that celestial beings and goddess' are the same exact thing when in fact they aren't. Celestial beings, in Tridivir and Acionda's case, are powerful creatures birthed from star dust.

These celestial beings pick a young planet and nest on it for cultivating, preparing it for future civilians that can withstand the planet's conditions. Tridivir created Nouva for the trolls, Acionda created Cristallum for the eau lourde. Due to multiple goddess and planets, there are also multiple translators. Though one translator can not accurately translate all goddess', they can still somewhat understand goddess' other than their own.

Fate and Regrets - Fall of the Goddess
According to Centauri Celestialtongue, a goddess can create copies of themselves. But only one and as backup if something were to happen to the original. These backups are kept within their place of power, where their citizens are first brought to on their planet. The backups start out as eggs. The eggs glow when they're about to hatch.

Fate and Regrets - Last Chance
Tridivir has died but her copy hatched, revealing another giant dirt noodle, though smaller. Due to the shrine being in shambles, she doesn't have any power to grow right now and thus doesn't have any power extra aside from being able to bring in new trolls for the time being.

Fate and Regrets - The Queens Visit
With the absence of Vergil, the new goddess needed a new translator and thus chose Briana. Deeming her fit to take on the role when she stepped up to take Vergil's place to lead the trolls, even if only temporarily until they could find a way to get her moirail back.

Fate and Regrets - Aelorais' Vision
The new goddess was dubbed Aelorais. After the trolls built a new shrine for her, she began to absorb the power from it, growing bigger. As she grew she gained more powers herself- even strong enough to share a vision of the past with the Nouvans who came to see her. Being Tridivir's copy, she shared memories with the old goddess and decided those very memories could help the nouvans find Vergil. She gave them a vision, almost like a virtual world of sorts where they could see everything that was happening but couldn't do anything. According to this vision, Vergil arrived on Nouva before the goddess, where it had been polutted with toxic air, no greenary in sight. The goddess herself didn't appear until shortly after him, falling to the planet in the form of a shooting star. Midway through her desent, the shooting star broke in half- one caught by Vergil (the godess) and the other falling and landing somewhere in the distance on Nouva. The original buildings within Nouva were brought there through Tridivir's powers, back when she was large enough to use them to teleport things. The city was only created thanks to Vergil's help, who planned it out for the Goddess, as was part of his duty as her translator. Being so small, Aelorais couldn't hold the vision for long and eventually the Nouvans found themselves back in real time with an exhausted goddess.

Eau Lourde (Oh-loo-or-day)

These creatures were first introduced in Fate and Regrets - The False Interpreter. They are an underwater people that originally lived on another planet, known as Wasklare, but were soon welcomed to Nouva by the Goddess and current leader.

From the knowledge gathered through the Fate and Regrets series, one can easily assume that either 1) Their space ships are equipped with a space/time/dimension device that will let them travel to other planets and times or 2) All planets populated by a goddess are in the same dimension and universe as Wasklare.

Eau lourde call their children pups. Their pups are born with fuzz and long droopy ears as they get older. They eventually lose the fuzz and grow into their ears. Pups usually stick around their parents until the come of age to finally move out and start a life of their own.

Their caste system is much different than those of the trolls and is based on wealth. Their castes don't usually mix when it comes to relationships, especially that of romance as it can often lead to disapproval of their families and the loss of wealth. Though the eau lourde are a nice people, in general, they prefer to stick with their own caste.

Empire of Olde
Those who are of the most wealth live in the Empire of Olde and are ruled over by Queen Nebula and King Orion with their two sons. As fate would have it, the oldest of the twin pups became the translator for the Goddess of Cristallum and earned his last name and was henceforth called Centauri Celestialtongue. His whereabouts unknown to his family, the Queen and King of the empire sought to find peace with their loss whereas his younger brother, Quasar, became jealous for little reason other than that his brother still received more attention from their parents even while he was gone.

Strongly believing that his brother will return some day and take over the thrown, leaving him with nothing, Quasar set out to find and destroy him so that he could not return home. Upon finding out that his brother was translator for a goddess and was leader of the people of Cristallum, Quasar felt like he had little choice other than to get rid of the citizens of Cristallum, thereby leaving no one to tell the Queen and King of what he had done.

The Queen, having found what fates had befallen her beloved pups from the trolls who attempted to save their goddess via the Fate and Regrets series, sought to give Quasar one last chance, leaving him in the care of the trolls so that he may redeem himself and right all his wrongs, learning to be a better person in the process. The only eau lourde that knows of Quasar's temporary banishment, other than Queen Nebula and Prince Quasar, is King Orion himself. The people of the Empire, nor anyone of the two other origins, know where he is or what he has done. They simply know that he is not on Wasklare any longer.

Kingdom of Milieau and Tribe of Armadus
Both the Kingdom and Tribe are ruled by Queen and King, and Chieftess, respectively.

Living as a nomadic and peaceful people, the the tribes of southern Wasklare were humble and independent. However, under the banner of one man, Rigil Kentaurus they were united. His immeasurable strength in battle physically and mentally brought an overwhelming sense of nationalism to the people, changing their name to a more united "Tribe of Armadus". Soon, Rigil was in control of an entire planets worth of Eau Lorde. After conquering the nearby planets he sent his firstborn son, Arcturus, to seige the Kingdom of Milleau and his younger, less important son, Sirius to deal with the area surrounding and including Nouva. Under this new leader the Tribe of Armadus did more than survive. In fact, it flourished.

Not much else is known of these castes as of yet other than what is provided in the guidelines.

During every 12th Perigee everyone on Nouva would be teleported to the moon by the goddess. There they would find themselves in a village made entirely of gingerbread and sweets up on the snow-topped mountains. The place was void of all life, even though the Goddess told them there would be someone waiting for them there.

The Nouvans discovered marriage on this planet, where they could marry anyone from their quadrant while they were on Terra von Lebkuchen. They would go on a quest to retrieve an item, marry holding that item, and eat the item when they wanted a divorce.

Scott and The Gingerbread Eater
Scott was an elderly gingerbread man that the Nouvans just happened to stumble upon when rescuing one of their fellow nouvans from a kidnapping of a scary creature that had been eating away at the village. He was so old that he was already started to crumble and it took him a whole week to recuperate from his ordeal. According to him, the Gingerbread Eater is what snatched up the Nouvan that they sought to rescue. It wasn't all that bright, seeing as how it only eats gingerbread and candy, but the Nouvan had been wearing armor that was shaped like gingerbread so it had, more than likely, mistaken the Nouvan as a gingerbread man.

The Gingerbread Eater had come from the bowels of the snowy planet, consuming everything in it's wake. Many buildings within the small village of Terra von Lebkuchen had been destroyed and many of the gingerbread people eaten, including Scott's wife and child, leaving only Scott to fear for his life and the loss of his entire species.

Thanks to the Nouvans, there was still hope. Gingerbread people were created in a factory, not born. But the factory itself had been eaten by the Gingerbread Eater sometime during it's attack on the village. However, with the power of Aelorais on their side, the Nouvans were able to rebuild the factory for Scott. The elderly gingerbread man did the honor of turning on the factory and watching it go to work. The first thing he wanted to do was rebuild his precious village that he loved so dearly and so he tasked the Nouvans to do just that.

Eventually the Gingerbread Eater was taken down, leaving Scott to only worry about repopulating his village after the Nouvans left the planet.

On our server, casual role play requires no planning beforehand. It's usually just you and a friend or someone you asked to role play with. Often when you get on there may be a role play that's already going that you can ask to join in. Multiple groups of casual role plays going on at the same time will often combine in-character. For example, you start off role playing with your character's moirail and they're traveling through the city and all of a sudden they come across a huge fight between two other characters and end up getting involved. This is one of the perks of casual role playing, aside from making new friends wherever and whenever you can.

Casual Role Play Events
These are organized casual role plays, usually by a single person. They can be held more than once and usually at specific locations, determined by the hosts. There's always a specific time and place before each casual role play event and those who host them usually post the casual role play event's information in the Event forum so that other role players will be able to see it and plan to attend accordingly. Casual role play events can get a little crowded and just about anything can happen in them. Hell, there may even be a few injuries and even death of characters (but don't worry, you don't ever permanently die on Nouva thanks to the Goddess).

Claiming a Business:
Can also be described as 'building a business'. There are plenty of buildings in each city to role play in. If you claim one, then you can redesign the inside (you'll have to leave the outside of the building as it is). These can include buildings that are already created such as the Husktop Café, Bath House, Horizons, etc. Some businesses can be torn down and rebuilt as whatever you want if I agree to it. If it's not claimed, you can make it your character's business to run. You can also build a business for your character in empty rooms in the mall that matches their particular interest. For example, if your character enjoys trimming and accessorizing hair, then they can create a hair salon for their business in the mall.

If you want to claim a business or empty room in the mall, please create an event (as in post an event thread in our Events forum) for that particular place at least two times in one month (this usually falls on the same day of the week and at the same time). This will let me know that you are very serious about hosting role plays there and that the business/room will not go wasted. To keep your business, you have to host twice a month every month. If you would prefer a lot of people show up, try announcing the role play times a month ahead of time. If not, then at least give people a week or two. If people don't show up to your role play, then it's fine so long as you put up the event announcement ahead of time. You can use a single thread for all your hosted role plays for your business.

During month-long events:
Weekly or monthly casual role play events may end up running into server events that last an entire month. Sometimes the role play event's location has to move specifically because of the month-long event, like for Terra von Lebkuchen (hosts of casual role play events must move the location of their event to inside the Terra von Lebkuchen village).

There are also some cases where the looks of the characters who attend may change, such as in Coming of the Pumpkin Beast and March Gender-Swap. Any role plays done in a gender-swapped skin are treated as if they're not gender-swapped at all. During the Coming of the Pumpkin Beast our role players may wear different skins. Only in the cases where their character is wearing a costume for the holiday may their skin be counted during a role play. Though it's not as common for Terra von Lebkuchen, nouvans can wear obnoxious looking winter sweaters and onesies for the month and it would be counted in-character during role plays.

Street Role Play:
Every day, perhaps 2 to 3 times a day, there will be a point where everyone has to stop what they're doing and start role playing 'on the streets' of any of our established cities. It only has to last a minimum of an hour and you can get back to whatever you were doing after, but you can make the role play last as long as you want it to go. The length is determined by the individuals involved. So far there is one held at 8pm EDT/EST every day.

Meet-n-Greets
Meet-n-Greets are similar to casual role plays, as they could be hosted by anyone but the major difference is that Meet-n-Greets, unlike casual role plays, have themes. Meet-n-Greet's are usually a one-time themed role play event. Meet-n-Greet threads are supposed to be posted in the Event forum by the Meet-n-Greets host and should always include the title of the Meet-n-Greet, a pitch of what the role play will be about (usually doesn't include twists that'll be revealed during role play), the time it starts, a countdown to the role play, the location where the role play will be held/start, and any extra information that the host would want everyone to know. Themes can vary but must coincide with the server's lore if it's being held outside a Lore Reserve. Meet-n-Greets usually take places in cities or somewhere near them. Hosts may ask for an admin's help on preparing their location for the event if it's inside of a city.

Lore Reserves
A new addition to our server! Lore Reserves are areas that are blocked off from the outside world where it can have it's own lore, often based on other games or shows, and where it's lore doesn't affect the lore of the server and vice versa. Lore Reserves are customized worlds where you create an all-new story for your characters. The creator of the Lore Reserve makes up it's laws and rules. Since Lore Reserves are not based on the lore of our server (or at least not entirely), the creator will need to post the Lore Reserve's main thread in the Miscellaneous category of our forums, under any forum of that category. Any role play events that the Lore Reserve hosts, though, needs to go in the Events forum, created much like a Casual Role Play Event or Meet-n-Greet depending if it has a specific theme for that particular lore reserve role play.

Game Reserves
The newest addition to the server. Game Reserves are games that are role played through by the Nouvans. It's very similar to Lore Reserves but the difference is that the lore of the Game Reserves can leak into the main lore of the server through referencing and the main lore of the server can leak into the Game Reserves via relationships, main and casual role play references, etc. This is the only way any reference can be made to SGRUB/SBURB, humans, and other races that Homestuck has.

To clarify, the Village Headquarters used to be called the Guild Headquarters. No one created any guilds on our server so I changed it to host teleports to our member's villages. When you walk into the door of the Village HQ you'll see teleports to each village lined up against the wall. Clicking the buttons will take you the Village's spawn point.

Moving in
Villages usually have a head villager that's in charge of who lives there and what's built there. They're also usually the ones who started said village. If you want to move into a village you'll need to go to it's spawn point where it should have a coffer with a sign above it. You simply put a request in that coffer (pen and parchment, signed) and wait for them to send you mail (command mail, not coffer).

Creating a new village
In order to create a village you will need to have done several things first:
1. Scout out an area for your village. You can't have any other villages, towns, or cities nearby.
2. Use /sethome so that you can easily get to and from the area. You'll need to build your hive here!
3. If you're done with your hive, move out of your apartment or temporary hive (let me know right away that you moved out so that I may set it up for the next new member).
4. Start building small places to role play in your village. A spawn point for your village would also be a wise idea.
5. After your spawn point is built, submit the xyz coordinates of where exactly you want people to spawn, and your village's name, to the Village Headquarters mailbox (located within the Village Headquarters).
