- What is ‘Prismatic?’
pris•mat•ic (pr z-m t k) also pris•mat•i•cal (- -k l) adj. 1. Of, relating to, resembling, or being a prism. 2. Formed by refraction of light through a prism. Used of a spectrum of light. 3. Brilliantly colored; iridescent.
On a less sarcastic note, Prismatic is a Roleplay Forum designed with the purpose of having a little something for everyone. Throughout all the years I’ve been an RP junkie, I find myself hopping from forum to forum as my tastes in writing change, or based on whatever ‘fandom’ I happen to be in at the time. By giving the player the power to weave whatever stories they want, and in whatever environment, I hope that I’ve developed someplace that makes everyone happy; a board that, no matter what your skill level, and no matter what genre you enjoy, you’ll have a great time here, and keep coming back =)
- How do I get started?
This board – the Information board – is a great place to begin, so you’re already on the right track! Make sure to read through all the threads we have provided for you, and when you’re pretty sure you’ve got it all down, head over to the Compendium so you can make your character.
- How do I make a character, and how do I know when I can post?
A basic outline of a character is provided in the ‘Character Creation’ thread. This thread is available In both the Compedium as a sticky, and in the Information board. Your imagination Is the only thing that limits you in his or her creation. Once your character is complete, post them and feel free to start writing!
- I wanna do a ___ RP! Where do I post?
The Roleplay forums have been broken down into a (hopefully) easy organization. First, ask yourself these few questions: Is it a fandom, or are you looking for something original? If a Fandom, is it an anime, a book, etc? Then, what letter does the series begin with? Here’s an example: You want to do a Naruto Roleplay. Because the world of Naruto is an existing series, it would be under the ‘Fan-Based’ category. Then, you would click “Anime,” since Naruto is a popular anime/ manga, then ‘I – P,’ because that’s where the letter ‘N’ falls. Of course, since Naruto isn’t the only series that begins with ‘N’, please make it clear what the series you’re roleplaying is =)
- No one will post in my thread! ;_;
Patience is key with forum based roleplays. Some people take longer to post than others. Also, it’s possible your thread may not have been seen. Feel free to make a post in the ‘Let’s RP!’ forum to try and attract someone into your thread.
- I can’t get into the Mature Board because it needs a password. What is it?
The Mature bored is password protected for a few reasons. For one, we don’t need people joining here just so they can lurk and read other peoples smut <_<; Also, the password is in place so that those that don’t want to see those kind of things don’t have to. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to put ‘age restrictions’ on certain boards, as people can always lie about how old they are to get into 18+ areas. But back to the question at hand: the password is openly available. It’s placed specifically as a kind of ‘test’ to make sure everything important was read. Maybe you should try going through the threads again?
- Can I be Staff?
Because this is such a lenient server, there isn’t a need for a vast amount of staff members. There are no characters to approve, no stats to distribute, etc. However, if there comes a time where more are needed on the forum, the current staff will discuss, and then contact those we feel are likely candidates. In short: don’t call us, we’ll call you.
- How many characters can I have?
As many as you can handle. Just make sure you have a way to keep track of them all. A suggested method is offered in the Character Creation thread.
- What do I do if my question isn’t listed on here?
Feel free to send any staff member a PM. They’ll be more than happy to help you. Also, questions that become common will find themselves on this sheet as well.
