{F.A.Q.}
K E E P . I N . M I N D ! !

►If you have a question that isn't answered here, you are more than welcome to ask. We don't bite. ♥


----


.001 ► So... Where are we?
You are in Enlever Town, your character has been abducted and taken to this world for a 'vacation'. However, this 'vacation' is anything but pleasant.

.002 ► Can my character die?
Yes. But please be aware that your kind 'hosts' are not particularly glad when their guests die. Currently, when your character dies, they should wake up in bed within the next twenty-four hours, however, this may change.

.003 ► What's outside Enlever Town?
Nothing. But why would you want to know when you can stay in the lovely Ravis Seur, before and after curfew? ♥

.004 ► What's this about a curfew?
All characters in the game are affected by a curfew, you see. Enlever Town does not have a sky, the only thing similar to it being a white dome you can see when you look up. However, at a certain hour everyday, all the lights will fade, leaving everyone outside in complete darkness

.005 ► Can I have my character be stuck outside after curfew?
Sure, why not? Knock yourself out.

.006 ► You mentioned the characters living in a Hotel, what is it?
The Ravis Seur Hotel, it's haunted and not all that safer than outside after curfew. ♥

.007 ► Can I invite another character to my Hotel room?
Yes. But please be aware, that once you invite another character to your room they can enter whenever they please, even if your character isn't in at the moment.

.008 ► Can my character and another share rooms?
Sure. I don't see why not.

.009 ► LET'S CAUSE RANDOM CHAOS!!
Go ahead, however, be aware that whatever you do might not amuse your hosts.

.010 ► Can we have the same character, but from a different fandom? Like, say... Cloud from FVII and Kingdom Hearts?
No. You must decide from which fandom you're going to bring them from.

.011 ► You mentioned something about watering their powers down, what does this mean?
Well, let's say that your character can read people's minds, this power would be watered down to an extent where all your character can do is occasionaly hear a murmur or two. However, in the case of a character that can breath fire, or bend something to their will, they will be stripped of that power.
Currently, due to recent events, all characters have 25% of their powers back.


.012 ► What's the difference between Logs and Journals?
Logs: This is where the actual roleplaying comes in. Most of this is done over AIM, or some other instant message service (though, some people have been known to RP right into the log community). It is all usually done in Third-Person.

Journals are the 'eyes' of your character. Similar to how we use our own journals, actually. This is posted straight into the main community.


.013 ► My character isn't exactly 'social'...
No worries! As long as you make journals, notes, logs and reply to comments once in a while, you're good.

.013 ► My character has a 'spirit' or 'alter-ego' inside of them, would that be considered the same character, or another one entirely?
They would be considered two separate characters.

.014 ► I don't have one of the requested IM services, will that be a problem?
Not at all. IM roleplay is optional, and there's nothing you can't do on an IM service that you can't do by posting directly on the community.

.015 ► If the character I want to apply for has been mentioned, but never seen, can I still apply for them?
Yes, you may (because saying otherwise would make me a hypocrite). As long as said character does exist, I see no problem. (Example: Uchiha Shisui from Naruto.)

.016 ► If a character drops, can I say that they left?
When this situation occurs, you are presented with two options. You may have your character forget them if they had no major impact on them, or you may allow your character to keep chunks of their memories with the character that has dropped.

However, please do note that if said character is taken once again, you need to discuss it with the new mun.


.017 ► ...You have a soundtrack?
Yes, yes we do.

.018 ► An application that was submitted after mine was accepted while mine hasn't, did you forget mine?
No, I didn't. This is done on purpose, since please do keep in mind that I am only one person and am not savvy to all fandoms. If your application hasn't been reviewed yet and others have, it just means that I'm still researching your character.

.019 ► I've recently changed my email/aim/main account/whatever, how do I notify you guys?
Just comment on the Taken Characters page with the changes, and be sure to tell us what character(s) it affects and from which fandom they are.

.020 ► I'm sorry, but when are you going to review my app? It was submitted days ago!
We're terribly sorry, but applications are, normally, reviewed on Friday - Sunday.

.021 ► I can't tag my entries!
As of November 22nd, 2008 all entry tags are moderated. Try using your character's full name to tag, and if that doesn't work, please see this entry.

Hi! I'm interested in applying to this RP, but am a first timer. Might inexperience be a problem, even though first timers are allowed?

Well, not exactly, seeing as how many of our current members are also first-time roleplayers. As long as you don't type liek dis and pay attention to what's canon and what is not, inexperience is not a problem at all.

Just when you thought I ran out of questions: XD

1) Though it's implied, can we apply for additional characters (totaling four max., of course) after the RP begins?

2) If I wanted to play Shiho from Detective Conan, would she have to come from her pre-shrunk timeline, or could she be from the current timeline, but inexplicably restored to normal height?

Oh my. XDD; One of these days, you're going to make my brain implode. 8D;;;;

Though it's implied, can we apply for additional characters (totaling four max., of course) after the RP begins?</sup>

Yes, you can. The character limit is three, actually.

If I wanted to play Shiho from Detective Conan, would she have to come from her pre-shrunk timeline, or could she be from the current timeline, but inexplicably restored to normal height?

I don't see why not, but it would be preferable that (if you want her to be normal size) you bring her from her pre-shrunk timeline, to avoid any problems. But if you really want her to be from the current timeline, and restored to her normal height, you should try to find a way to twist the 'powers/abilities' thing to suit that. Otherwise, pre-shrunk timeline would be better.

Another question
[info]kuroi_yue
2008-05-26 06:02 pm UTC (link)
Assuming I want to apply for a character that is some sort of inanimate object (ie, doll) magically brought to life, how would the watering down of powers affect that?

[To be more specific, she's a doll that relies on a magically implanted 'stone' of sorts to live, and if she loses the stone, she stops moving until it's returned]

Or is the Host just that amazingly special in that they can rob the Rosa Mystica of most of its power without causing her physical impairment?

(Reply to this) (Thread)

Re: Another question
[info]enlevement_mod

hmmm, might start my first rp here.

When you say we can find in the closet some of our character's clothing, accessories, and trinkets, minus weaponry. Is a strait razor from a shaving kit and a sharpening stone considered weapons?

[info]enlevement_mod

The strait razor is considered a weapon, however, the sharpening stone is more or less; so the character may only keep the sharpening stone if it's of sentimental value.

Just to be sure, so I don't F up the application, I use the canon history right? I want to nab Soifon, so do I use the current story arc of Bleach, and then have her wake up here? Because the fact that her shinigami powers would be stripped would be a lot of fun to play. Especially at such a time...if we're going by the Bleach anime/manga...

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]enlevement_mod

Yep, you use her canon history. You can take her from any timeline you want as long as she did exist for that timeline, and you know her history up to that point.

H'ok! Soh!

How does time work within the RP? It already happened to a couple of us that we started a log in the "morning", but both of us had go offline for awhile. Now, later logs from other characters are "after curfew". Would it screw things up for the earlier log to continue?

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]enlevement_mod
2008-06-02 06:34 pm UTC (link)
Time within the RP is almost non-existent, actually. Days will pass of course, but you could be in a log that's set at noon while you're also participating in another log that is set after the curfew, so you don't have to worry about that.

Hope that makes sense. 8D;;;

[info]aphrodite_mine

The character I'm applying for is an alien who has the ability to use all the powers of the Fantastic Four (i.e. stretchyness, rockhard, invisible & shields, & fire) -- I'm planning on rendering these inert.

However he can also shift form from male to female, and since he's shown to be transgendered, this is pretty vital to the character. While trapping him in one body could be interesting, I'm not sure what it would *do* to him in the long run.

How would you feel about allowing this kind of body modification? Maybe if there was a time constraint, or if it was a taxing process?

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]enlevement_mod
2008-06-05 03:18 am UTC (link)
Well, they could keep that ability, but only if was watered down to the point where the times they can actually gender-shift are few and far in between, and even then it'd be a very difficult process.

The events are somewhat on the spot (well, for you, not me), and when they happen, they happen. Normal events are posted to the main community with no previous anticipation, while some special events will be announced in the OOC Community a few days before they actually happen.

New question! It's been awhile, huh? XD

You probably can't/won't reveal it, but is there a possibility of the Host giving people back their powers? Because there are certain characters it would be fun to roleplay, but having them be forever powerless would alter them in important ways, if that makes any sense.

I have a question, if you don't mind. :)

I was thinking of applying for a character who can manipulate the cells in his body so that he can look like and sound like any person he wants. It's a big part of who he is, so I was wondering how this would be dealt with? Would he be able to change his cells only sometimes, to a certain degree, or not at all?

Okay, wait -- the alter-ego thing. Akito/Agito is basically one person split in two; when he changes his eyepatch sides, he gets a different personality. But he's still the same person. Does that still count as two different characters? Would that mean I need to pick one, or have two journals?

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]enlevement_mod
2008-07-09 01:09 am UTC (link)
Yes, Akito and Agito count as different characters. So, supposing you pick Akito, if he moves his eyepatch to the other side, there would be no Agito; you will need to pick one of the other.

Questions! Since Rukia spent several days exploring...

1. Is there roof access in the hotel?
1a. If the answer to (1) is yes: If someone were to be on the roof during curfew, would they be violating it? ie, monsters, etc.
2. Is there enough equipment in the abandoned stores to actually set up shop?
3. If various items, including bits of food, were left in one of the shops overnight, would it be gone/moved the next day?
4. What exactly is up with the sheds?
5. What kind of monsters are outside after curfew? Is it like the hauntings inside the hotel?

There might be more questions later. >.> Sorry! ♥

[info]enlevement_mod
2008-07-23 11:52 pm UTC (link)
1. Yes, there is, but it is currently impossible for the characters to go up to the roof at this point, since both ways to access the roof are locked. (More info in the upcoming map updates~)
2. Unless you consider empty, shattered glass containers and dusty shelves 'enough', no.
3. Yes, and no. 50% of the time you'll find them bitten/broken, or moved, the other 50% goes to them gone.
4. It's being haunted by the same type of poltergeist in this event, along with other things... But it's 100% locked, no way to enter it, including the windows. If you try to open it, well... See for yourself.
5. Kinda, your character might get the feeling that they're being followed, and they may hear and see things moving in the shadows, but nothing will actually come out to hurt them.


Hope that answers your questions~ If you don't understand something, feel free to ask me to clear it up. ♥

I just put in a reserve for Ryoji Mochizuki, from Persona 3. I'm aware that he won't have access to his normal abilities, but there's a bit of a grey area that I would like to ask about. Here's a little bit of explanation (it may sound confusing, but I'll be sure to clarify things in my application):

Ryoji, like most of the main characters in Persona, is associated with a certain Arcana (think Tarot cards here), that correspond to their abilities. Ryoji's Arcana is number 13, Death. Essentially, Ryoji is a spirit of death that is currently inhabiting a humanlike form, thanks to a whole chain of events that I will expand on later. He's not actually human, it just seems like it.

At one point in the game after he asks to be killed, he says, and I quote, "I'm going to disappear anyways. I won't feel any pain by 'dying'." I was wondering if this ability to not feel extreme pain would carry over to Enlevement or not. Technically it's an inability, but hey.

I don't mind if you answer on here or through AIM. I should be online for a while, so I can elaborate more on his situation if you need me to.

I've got a little one too, because I put in a reserve for Arisato (though I didn't realize you put one up for Ryoji, heh). He seemed pretty human to me until I found that out and went :O

His 'weapons' are within himself, but he needs an 'evoker' (i.e. magic gun) to use them. So, where would he be in terms of that?

I hate using it because it makes the journal unrecyclable for anything afterward.

It is highly suggested that you do so; especially since some players prefer to post important notes relevant to the RP and such in their character's journal.

But either way is fine, I suppose.
