Welcome to the Dawning of the Fourth Age

Hello!
Welcome to the wiki for the Dawning of the Fourth Age, a LARP set in the MMO ''The Secret World. ''If you're new to the setting, feel free to take a look at the setting primer before diving into the character creation!

Getting Started
First, consider what type of character you would like to play! Although everything is technically true, we're still working on creating systems to actually make everything work. Once you have a general idea, if what you want isn't already outlined in the character creation section, talk to the game runners to see if you can work something out.

Once you have a character, you're free to interact as much or as little as you want outside of RP days. Make sure a story teller is looped in, but otherwise you're free to elaborate on your character within reason. Some characters may have personal reasons for being where they are; others may be there on orders. Take a look at the game's setting and location Google Maps if you need a better idea of what things look like, and remember to always keep track of the in game timeline for what's happening in the world around you.

Making a Character

 * 1) Come up with a character concept. It can be a more complex character idea (ie a blood mage seeking revenge on a particular cult) or can be very simple (ie an alchemist just making a living).
 * 2) Go look at what skills and backgrounds are available. All characters start with 30 points to spend however they see fit. All characters start with one free Weapon category so that they have something to fight with. You may pick from any of the following weapons: Pistols, Rifles, Shotguns, Swords, Fist/Melee, Improvised, Maces, Hammers, Staffs/Staves.
 * 3) Submit your character information to be approved by a game runner. In addition to approval, the game runner helps fill in parts of the character sheet, such as parsing out what the backgrounds mean and such. The game runner does have final say in what will and will not fly for a character, but for the most part as long as the math is good, you should be fine.
 * 4) Once your character is approved, you are free to start scenes via various methods, including facebook chat or email. Make sure your game runner is looped in so they have record of what's happening and can respond accordingly.
