So this explains how to use all the different things for the Role Plays.
Firstly, go to your profile and click the "Character Sheet" button. You need to fill out all the info. Give the character an image, race, weapons and stuff, and LEAVE THE HEALTH AND FOCUS AT 10 AND 5.
Okay. Now.
How to role play. When you perform an outlandish action you have to actually roll for this. You use the [rand ] 10 [/rand] tag. This will roll a 10-sided die. The FA default is 6, so you must roll a 6 or higher to be successful. Meaning in your post, attempt to do something and at the end use the rand tags. If you succeed, everyone else must post according to what happens if you succeeded. (Like shooting them in the face)
Next, you can use Focus Points to decrease that difficulty. Just say you use them, then roll normally. You're only given 5 FP so use them wisely. 1 FP = -1 difficulty. So if you use 2 FP you only have to roll a 4 or higher. Then after you post, go to your profile's character sheet and reduce your FP by 1.
If you get hurt because someone was successful, then go to your character sheet and subtract HP. Here's a rough guide on how much to get rid of:
10 - Something completely unsurvivable like an atomic bomb or something.
9 - Something permanently crippling like having all your arms and legs cut off or a claymore mine blowing your torso in half.
8 - A car slamming into you at 60+ MPH or similar.
7 - A mace or hammer straight to the skull, hit in a vital organ.
6 - Being set on fire for longer than 6 seconds
5 - A burst shot from an assault rifle or automatic weapons
4 - Explosions nearby you. Electrocution.
3 - A gunshot wound to a semi-vital area like the abdomen. Heavy attacks to a vital area.
2 - Gunshot wound in a non-vital area. Heavier cut type attacks.
1 - A punch or kick. A bite, stab, or cut to the limbs.
Obviously these are rough guidelines.
How do I heal or regain focus?
However you do that in real life. You regain your focus by mediating (whatever that means for your character), just make one whole post an internal dialogue or actual meditation. If it's like 1-2 paragraphs you get 1 FP, if it's 3+ paragraphs then regain 2 FP.
To heal you're obviously visiting a hospital, drinking blood as a vamp, eating flesh as a were, and drawing off the life essence of nature for a wend. Be creative but don't have some super bullshit healing ability or something. You're supposed to take damage.
What happens when I have 0 health?
It means you either died (from too much limb severing) or wore out (being punched senseless). For the former, stop posting in that RP and make a new character. For the latter, your get incapacitated until someone can revive you.
IF YOU ROLL A DIE YOU CANNOT EDIT YOUR POST. ANYONE WHO HAS AN EDITED POST WITH A DIE ROLL IN IT WILL BE FUCKING BANNED.
Experience
So I'm sure you all see the EXP gauge under your names and such. This is a meter which describes your overall Role-playing skill. You are awarded for doing things successfully, originally, intelligently, and awesomely. You gain EXP when an admin determines content of your post to be any of those things. The exp-to-action is as follows:
1 = successful roll
2 = originality in an action or story
3 = intelligent move
4 = AWESOME. It made you feel "epic" inside
