F.A.Q.
- How do I apply?
Well! That is very simple. You simply go here and fill out this application. OR! If you don’t have the time, but are worried you’ll lose your chance to be a certain character you can go here and reserve them for up to 7 days!
As usual too, if you have any questions feel free to ask us mods/admins!
- How many characters can I play?
Our rule is 4 characters. HOWEVER if you take on too many, and we find you unable to keep up with all the characters, we will ask you to drop some. - What happened to the Nations?
Simply speaking, they all died during the war. How they died is up to you. However, their countries survived.
Check out another helpful story written up by Iggymod for more info on this - In the How they Died section of the app, what am I suppose to do?
Quite simply we want how your character has died AS A NATION. As you know the whole premise of this board is each Nation (save select few) died during the course of WWII and have now been reborn and our slowly regaining their memories. So, what we want you to write his how your character died as a Nation!
Please check out this wonderful example:
Korea - This app is just an all around perfect example of what we want from you. It keeps Yong Soo in character, as well as adds historical basis. And makes Lilymod go ';w;'
Don't forget! This is also a time for you to show us how you RP! Aka, impressing the mods!!! So go all out and remember! Spell-check is your friend. As is double checking your grammar! - What do I do about the Ancient Nations deaths?
The Ancients all clearly died before the regular Hetalia cast (Italy, Egypt, Greece, ect. became the successors to them). However, they were reborn PRIOR to the other Nations deaths. Meaning, depending on how old you make your character, they were born sometime either during WW2 or shortly after! - Histories?
Make sure if your character is related to an active/claimed character to check their histories in their apps. Particularly the Asians!
Also, do not hesitate to speak to any of your siblings to talk about plots/histories/ect! - Do the Nations remember their pasts?
Yes and no. Each character has the potential to remember their pasts. And it is up to each player to figure out how they want to handle that. Many players use dreams as a way to hint to their character about their past. Others use deja vu as a key tool. This is all up to you.
Some Nations however do remember already, Macau for instance. To do this though you have to check with one of the mods. We don't want everyone to come in remembering after all! Where would the fun be in that?
- Were they born to human parents?
Yes. Every Nation was reborn to human parents of their own country. No exceptions, unless you speak to a Mod. - What is the time period?
The admins have finally gotten together and figured out a date. The year is officially 1981 guys! And that means, we've missed a few wars since WWII. Please consider this a complete AU where things like the Vietnamese War did not happen. The tensions of the Cold War, however, did.
- What is the technology of this world?
While there may be the modern weapons of WW2, there is also quite a bit of steam punk technology thrown in. Example: the flying ships, robotic servants that are entirely run on steam/alternate sources of energy and a great secret that is going to be revealed later in the plot.
As for things we don't have: cell phones, digital, lazers, etc. Think more along the lines of two-way radios, walkie talkies, updated versions of those cool photography boxes... - What is the state of the different countries after the war?
Most of them are in the process of recovering from the damages of the war. As your reborn character, the effects of the economy don't actually affect you until you regain your memories if that is how you choose to play it. - What's up with the governments?
All you need to know is the atmosphere is comparable to just before the Cold War. The politics are present, but so far no action for fear of either nuclear provocation without nations or starting a new Dark Age. The rest will be reveaaaaled. -wavey hand gestures-
- We has a plot?
Yes we do! And from the little bit Iggymod has shared, and the stuff us mods have thought up it is awesome :'D And hopefully keep everyone interested in the site~~
- How do I join a crew?
That is very simple! First you can peruse the different ships and see which ones you are interested in. After that you can easily ask one of the lovely captains if you can join their ship. After that, just make an intro thread and either the captains or some other crew members (hint hint, let's not have captains do ALL the work folks) will pick you up.
If you really have no preference though, don't worry, us mods will place you onto a ship! Some are severely lacking D:
- Can I leave my crew to join up with another one?
Yes you can. But make sure to first talk to a mod AND ESPECIALLY your captain and the captain of the ship you want to join instead before taking any course of action.
- How can I become a captain?
You simply fill out the application for a ship and cross your fingers that the mods approve it! And then you go around fighting them for the newbies to join your crew!
- What is the deal with the map pieces?
The map pieces are a very integral part to this plot line~ Our lovely Iggymod has created a thread explaining them but I'll help you guys out here a bit. Though I highly recommend (command) you guys read the legend that England tells. Because that is essentially what you would hear throughout the course of the RP.
The map pieces are glowing crystals. Together they create a map that will lead to the ultimate treasure. Think like One Piece (and don't mock it, Lilymod happens to be a fan D<). So, several captains of pirate ships are going after the pieces so they can find this ultimate treasure. The more pieces you have, the more powerful and infamous you are!
Each captain starts out with one. Talk to mods if you want to obtain more mmkay?
- What is the Treasure?
Like I said previously, make sure to check out England's story for more information on this. The Treasure is simply a giant ass fortune that would allow any captain to live comfortably. PLUS by obtaining it gain a hell of a lot of notoriety.
- Who are the mods/admins?
Our mods/admins are England, Korea, and Liechtenstein
Don’t be afraid to ask us any questions! We don't bite, so never hesitate!
- OIKYK?
Originated In Korea, You Know~?
