| Every character in Achaea is given the capability to write a publicly-viewable
| |
| background and to keep his or her personal history up to date by writing
| |
| regular 'chapters.' This background and the chapters must be written in-role,
| |
| as they are there to be used as roleplay devices.
| |
| | |
| In order to promote consistent roleplay, you must remember that once you've
| |
| written your background, _it cannot be altered_. You can, however, provide
| |
| updates to your background by way of the aforementioned chapters. Ideally,
| |
| reading a character's background and then reading the various historical
| |
| chapters that the character has written will give one a sense of where the
| |
| character is coming from, where he's been, and where he's going.
| |
| | |
| Once again we must emphasize that this system is to be used _only_ for writing
| |
| in-role history of your character. It's not to be used for any other purpose,
| |
| and those using it for any other purpose will find they cannot use the system
| |
| anymore.

| Syntaxes:
| |
| ---------
| |
| | |
| COMPOSE BACKGROUND
| |
| - Takes you into the Achaean editor to compose your background.
| |
| | |
| - You may only write a background ONCE, ever. We recommend writing it
| |
| off-line in a word processor, spell-checking it, reading it over a few
| |
| times to make sure it's just how you want it, and then pasting it into
| |
| the Achaean editor.
| |
| | |
| - There's no need to write excessively long backgrounds. What you want to
| |
| do is give your character some flavour and give yourself a framework to
| |
| roleplay in. What you do not want to do is write histories that nobody
| |
| will respect, because they are ridiculous. Don't write that you come from
| |
| some far off land, as you don't. Don't write that you are the spawn of
| |
| some demon, because you aren't. Keep it consistent with Achaean history
| |
| and consistent within itself.
| |
| | |
| - YOU MAY ONLY WRITE A BACKGROUND ONCE AND ONCE SAVED, YOU CAN _NEVER_
| |
| ALTER IT! SO BE CAREFUL!
| |
| | |
| | |
| COMPOSE HISTORY
| |
| - Takes you into the editor to compose a new chapter.
| |
| | |
| - Like with backgrounds, you may not edit these once saved.
| |
| | |
| - Chapters are to be used only for the telling and explaining of personal
| |
| history. They are not to be used to write whatever you feel like writing.
| |
| | |
| | |
| COMPOSE HISTORY TITLE <chapter #> <title>
| |
| - Assigns a title to a chapter.
| |
| - The title may be multiple words long. The title may be changed as many
| |
| times as you like.
| |
| | |
| | |
| VIEW BACKGROUND <character>
| |
| - Views a character's background.
| |
| - Omit the character field to view your own background more easily.
| |
| | |
| | |
| VIEW HISTORY SUMMARY <character>
| |
| - Displays a summary of the chapters a character has written.
| |
| - Omit the character field to view your own summary more easily.
| |
| | |
| | |
| VIEW HISTORY <chapter> <character>
| |
| - Displays the specified chapter of the specified character.
| |
| - Omit the character field to view your own chapters more easily.
| |
| | |
| | |
| SET HISTORY PUBLIC/ALLIES/PRIVATE
| |
| - Sets your background and chapters viewable by everyone, only your allies
| |
| or no one. The only exceptions are that the most powerful Gods, Creators,
| |
| (such as Sarapis, Clementius, or Maya) who can always read them.
