Librarians

This looks awesome but I am a little confused as to how it runs. It is a normal sb right but the tests are yws things. So it's a bit of a competition. And the characters? Do we have our usernames? Or just make a character?

i second ttyf's questions. this looks dope with the yws stuff but confuzzling with the sb stuff, dawg.

Second vks.

It will run in both ways! Adressing your questions one at a time:

1) it is not a competition, or a race, in any way. The purpose of the Librarians is to maintain and protect the works within Palace Paideya. Out of character, this translates to delivering thoughtful reviews.

2) characters: you can use your yws username, like I did, or you can not. You can make the profiles as elaborate or essential as you'd like. They are your avatar within the storybook.

3) what we'll be doing. Nobody actually asked this, but methinks it's something of an important question. Once your characters meet Baal, he will give you an in-character explanation. Pretend you haven't received this out of character explanation. IC, as Librarians, we explore the library, battle rogue books (that's a thing), explore its darkest recesses and uncover treasure (also a thing). Pretty soon the characters are going to be sent on an actual Quest to uncover a book in a hidden library. There will be things happening. OOC, we review. We can also incorporate this IC, by having your character actually immersed in the chapter (or poem I guess) that they're reviewing. I will give a concrete example when this kicks off.

Any more questions?

Great, that gives me enough to make a character.
However I take it there will be a lot of reviewing. Thats great, but will there be any objection to doing almost all poetry? I am not to good at chapter reviews unless I'm on a computer and I can write as I read, which is hardly ever.

poetry is works fine!

Oh, also time. I image fantasy, but are muzzle loaders around? Flintlock?
Also are the characters allowed to be magic users? Or enchanted items?

all of the above, though Librarians usually have literature-related powers. Tarot cards for the tru badasses

Yeah but I imagined new recruits would be all sorts, if they had potential.

Also are there multiple species, like hobbits, elves, leprechauns etc. Can they be player characters?

potential to be a Librarian is not a question of magic so much as keen-ness and a love of writing

and sure

O.k. my character may ever so slightly be incredibly detailed.

that works too! 8D

Can I join? ^^
