________________________________________

Welcome to the Wiki Fantasy Roleplay. This fantasy roleplay has been set up as an escape for all you other avid roleplayers out there who are also avid wikiers. If you're a rook to the WFR - Wiki Fantasy Roleplay - you'll want to know a bit about what exactly it is we do here, no?
The Wiki Fantasy Roleplay's main aim is to give all advanced roleplayers in Elftown a chance to roleplay fantasy with others like them.
This is an ongoing roleplay, meaning that good Roleplayers will naturally post setting-storylines throughout. Please remember that you will be playing the same character in the same environement, maintaining relationships with other characters over an extended period of time. If you are in two places at once, it should be made apparent what time it is , in contrast with other wiki posts, and how you got from each place to the other. I feel this is the best way to roleplay. Hopefully we will be able to get some sort of a mass-wiki plot developing, but for now we're just going to roleplay in a more or less basic fantasy/medieval roleplay environment.

The WFR was originally created to house only original fantasy roleplaying.
Now, with the help of [Nightshadow], the WSFR, our sci-fi sister site, is now ready to work toward the future goals of storytellers here on Elftown!

- Creature_List – talk with [Angel Dreamer] about system and renovations.

A list of creatures of the fantasy worlds.
Alright, long past time for a resemblance of order to this thing. This is a list of fantasy creatures only. They're in alphabetical order. Also, feel free to add to a creature's description on a wiki page, (ie, vampire). Italicized creatures (aeon) currently do not have a description-if you know one, add it! If they are italicized and have an asterick (*), then that page is unclaimed by the creature_list, so it may have other people's stuff on it. Just change the wiki link to a different page by adding 'description' on the end (angel description instead of angel) and message [Angel Dreamer] with the change. All pages should be changed ownership to [Angel Dreamer] and any passwords deleted before changing it over, allowing for better management of the list. 
If you do add anything to one of the descriptions, kindly leave a message at the bottom of this page saying what you did.

Another note: There is now a password to this page, to cut down on people randomly editing and not saying what they added. If you want to add a creature, you must message [Angel Dreamer] with the name of the creature and a description.

If your name is not up here, and you have been told that you are a Moderator and given a password, you may add your name up on this list, under Asking: or to whatever page(s) we had decided you could work on.
This a guild-wide project, and is now officially underway.

All pages should have a Prime Moderator, and any assistant Mods that they deem necessary. All page Mods are finalized by me, [xido] after nomination and Prime Mod acceptance. Only a select few individuals should be Prime Mod of more than one page, and only under certain circumstances. No one should be overworked, and Mods can be assistant Mod to any page they can handle being a part of.

WFR Game Systems and Copyright Statement
WFR Rules & Guidelines

When considering what sort of story, plot elements, style and rules to integrate into your wiki-game setting, a common use of published information can often be a big help, whether from a novel or similar publication... One of the most inspirational, standardized, thorough and mostly understandable methods is by using a published campaign, game system or roleplaying supplemental material, and its commonly-used inferences, statistics and information.

   The WFR is a proud proponent of originality and creative writing. We also understand that many players and Game Moderators will utilize published game systems materials in their stories and games, not because they lack originality, but because most often the published material is widely-known and readily available, so that Moderators can put more time into playing with their peers instead of posting huge informational pages. (Mind you, we like info pages too, though.)

   All Guild Members and Elftowners are asked to understand and follow procedures for referencing copyrighted, published, and original material and information. Please understand that anything dubbed 'd20-system-specific' is in violation of abusing the use of a trademark gaming method. However, the use of any sided die/dice, percentile, math methods, etc. are applicable to any game or story, under the decision of the wiki's Game Moderator, and that any system can be developed or used that suits the GM's and Player's fancy, provided it stays legal (including gambling... fantasy only, boys!). Please be aware of the Uploading Art Rules, and Copyright and Intellectual Property Information, and exercise rationality and professionalism in creating new or inspired stories, games, characters, campaigns, etc.
o Guild Auditions and Character Pages –
WFR Guild Auditions and Character Page Information
WFR Rules & Guidelines


All Guild members are to understand one thing: We are only serious about one thing: Respect.
If you want to goof, it's cool, but be respectful to others in your goofing, whoever they may be, or for whatever reason you think is sufficient.
Just plain don't do that. Like the Guild Standard says, Don't be an Asshole, easy enough.

We have a few things we've learned about Roleplaying around here.

We prefer original characters that you yourself made.

We prefer to play in locations where we know GMs will help us and post with us.

We prefer that you not steal any media, whether visual, written, or otherwise, and breaking anyone's copyright is called plagiarism and is legally punishable. If you enjoy media from ANYWHERE other than your own head and want to display it somewhere, you'd better know where you got it, have asked someone, or at least made an effort of advertising the URL, name, location and contact details of the site, source or organization where you found it.
I, [xido], personally endorse Wizards of the Coast/Dungeons & Dragons, and often post content from their site.
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/
I think they are a wonderful source of information and excellent images and media. Please cite all materials used on your wikis. Do not post any of these pictures on your house, they will be removed.

We prefer that you audition by applying with a Character Bio on the WFR Application Page. After you're in, you're a Guild Member of the greatest RP Guild in Elftown, and eligible for all Guild benefits and titles, as well as invited to advertise your wikis here on the Guild's RP pages.
You can only bypass the WFR App Page in very rare, certain instances, and it sure better be cool by [xido], [Leara], [Nightshadow] and/or [Blood Raven].

We prefer to nominate others for Guild positions, and Guild titles are earned and bestowed, not given out like candy. You have to earn your keep around here with time and effort.

We prefer that no one RPing in any Guild wiki use such actions that would be deemed 'Power-playing', 'God-modding', or any other impervious, I-cannot-be-destroyed method of posting in our creative, free-form, fun roleplay sessions.

....

Originality in characters is greatly appreciated, an original character often has a higher chance of being accepted, just remember to follow the guidelines.

Don't go about and change other's characters if there's something wrong, give hints in the comments, but don't change.

When making your first character, put the ENTIRE description on the Application Page. Secondary characters can be placed on a separate wiki (named after the character) and then placed in the appropriate field on the Application Page.

You don't have to make a character description for NPC:s (Non-Player Characters), since they probably won't stick around for too long.

All planeswalkers must take a test first, and be a part of the Realmwalkers' Guild. See forum posting [71994] or contact [xido] for details.

A long character description often means that you've gotten all that is needed in it, and the more details you add, the better.

No gods... - Generally Accepted by mods all over the world

A character can't be accepted before EVERYTHING needed is added. and all issues are solved.

Obvious rule: No stealing characters from games, movies or books. Inspiration: OK. Stealing: nono

Use sentences in Character Descriptions, not lists. A list is boring to read.

People with already accepted characters can give hints on what to change in descriptions to make it better (removing godhood, fixing errors, etc.) but it's up to the mods to actually accept the character. These comments are to be posted as Comments on the wiki where the character is, only moderators can post comments below the characters (as seen on the WFR Application Page).

Modern characters are to be sent to Wiki Sci-fi Roleplay.

If you have a really powerful character, ask the GM before starting to play.

When writing a description, focus more on what the CHARACTER looks like, rather than what kind of clothes he/she wears. Clothes may change, but the character probably keeps looking the same for some time.

Try to avoid completely pointless comments in your character. Even though they may be funny, they can also be very irritating if it goes too far.

Mods, if you always remember to message players when their character's accepted you won't have to answer "Where's my character?" questions and try to remember where all characters are put.

When applying, do your best to impress the mods, your application is what shows them if you're a good roleplayer or not, so make sure you show off your writing skills and creativity.

You are allowed to play royalty, but please ask the GM of the place you want to be king/queen/prince/princess/etc. of first.

Never, under no circumstance, put in your description what other people think of your character. Phrases like "Her eyes make you melt", "You get a strong feeling you want to hug him" or "As soon as you see her you fall in love" will NOT get you accepted.

Avoid "Child of Satan" characters, first off: Satan doesn't exist in WFR, there are Demon and Devil Lords, but none of them is named "Satan". Second: Those characters are often really difficult to play well, and also has a tendency to get too powerful.

Remember to fully explain how your character's skills and powers work. This is especially necessary when those power run a risk of causing god-modding.

This is a fantasy world, so no America, Asia, Europe or any of those places exist.

Try to check your spelling, your character can't be accepted if the mods can't read the description.

Description are to be written in third person, no I, me, mine.

You are free to create NPC's in your roleplays without them having to go through the acceptance process.
