The layout of the City is coming soon, there will be an announcement when it is up for viewing.
[[Map]]
Coming Soon

[[Layout]]
The City is split into 4 quadrants. North, South, East and West. Each quadrant has one or more specific buildings, or landmarks with The Hospital directly in the center of The City.

The North quadrant is the poorest area of the city. The closer to the outskirts you are, the shabbier and smaller your house is. Apartment buildings very old and falling apart. There is much crime in this part of town. In the center of the quadrant is The Police Station and Jail House because of this. Between the borders of the North and East quadrants lies The Graveyard which is accessible by everybody.

The South quadrant is a fair mix of middle and upper class residents. The people with more money live closer to the center of town with easier access to The Hospital and The University with the middle class spreading out into the edges of the town. The edge of the South quadrant is bordered by highway and fences to give an overall nicer look to the lay of the land.

The East quadrant is upper class only. Mostly people with jobs as doctors or lawyers live here. There are a few large company owners in The City as well who make residence here. Houses are spread apart and are all very large and extravagant. The Law Firm is located closer to the center of the city, but is still located in the East quadrant. The edge of this quadrant is bordered by large sandy beaches which line the ocean. It is accessible by everyone though there are private area’s for the rich.

The West quadrant is mostly industrial with a few ancient houses and decrepit apartment buildings. They are livable, but it’s advised against it. Most of the quadrant is taken up with warehouses and factories.

The downtown area spreads from City center outwards. Some places of interest would be the many privately owned shops and restaurants, such as Finnegan's Music Shop which holds an Open Mic Night every Friday night which anyone can attend or preform.

[[Places of Note]]
The Graveyard
Location: North-East Border
On Location Groundskeeper: Azrael
Employees: Johnny Seward, Jonathan Kroppman, Jethro Raleigh, Jethro Devereaux.
The Graveyard is an ancient place located near the outskirts of town bordering the North and East quadrants. It is filled with catacombs that have been left for centuries and the extent of them is unknown. There is a wide arrangement of mausoleums and crypts, some standing alone, some leading to the sewers of The City and some attached to the Catacombs. In the center of The Graveyard is the groundskeepers house, which was once an old morgue. Currently it is uninhabited and will most likely remain so as it is sealed with a strong and ancient magic.
Contact marlboroxsmoke or xblindxfaith if you would like your character to work at The Graveyard, there is a cap on who may inhabit it but feel free to include it in your app.

Sonny's Magic Emporium
Location: Downtown South
Specialization: Magical items from A-Z in every language!
Owner(s): Sonny and Midi Zion.
Employees: Midiran Zion and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Saint.
Everything and anything magical you might need, you can find it at the Emporium. Books (everything from Wiccan handbooks to the Satanic Bible penned by Anton LaVey), ready-made white magic "spells," little trinkets and charms to keep away ghosts. Evil spirits. In-laws. Things for good luck. Herbs to cure headaches, bad breath, foot problems, sleeping issues, to help with one's libido, to bring prosperity. Even darker charms like animal skulls (maybe even some that look suspiciously human) and rat tails and crow's feet. Dream catchers, dragon statues, empty leather-bound journals to write in. Also available are high quality Halloween costumes that have been hand made with care, and cheap little magic and card tricks for a bit of fun. Only a few customers know about the storeroom at the back, the one with a steel door about six inches thick that can only be opened with a key-card and thumbprint recognition. Behind that door is black market magic, dark spells and enchantments, real spells. Not the herbal remedies and simple charms that are on display up front, but true and dangerous magic that only those in the know would even be interested in buying.
Contact tricky sonny if you would like your character to work at Sonny's.

Please read the Rules before asking a question.

I'm sure you all have some questions here and there. This is your Q&A section. If there's something you're unsure of in the rules or something that isn't covered and you don't see it here, feel free to leave a comment or contact a mod. Comments will be screened so you don't feel silly when asking a question. We'll happily answer them all.
Or e-mail us! AF.Mods@gmail.com

[General]

Help!
Not a question, but okay! Don't see what you're looking for here? Comment or e-mail with that subject line and we'll get right on it!

What is Storybook style RPing?
Storybook style RPing is done in third-person narrative (usually subjective). Essentially using he/she/they.
Example:
The meet up place was in a dark alley behind some cesspool of a bar in the center of the Russian’s territory. Why the maffias liked to keep dingy places like this was beyond him, but he wasn’t about to question their motives. Cutting the engine of his van, he waited, ignoring the chatter of his hired help.

With a sigh he looked up at the sky. No sign of the signal, which meant there was a good chance the Batman might come down and rain on their parade tonight. It was never easy. Why should it be? He was a villain and villain's never had it easy. But this fact never really bothered Jon. Not in the least. In the end he still got what he wanted and even if he got sent to Arkham once again, he'd get out. He'd always get out.

It was a half hour wait, but finally the sounds of vehicles pulling up behind his van in the alley were heard, the bright headlights shining into his rear view mirror. He pulled on his burlap mask and got out of the van and was assaulted with the sound of swearing Russians and barking dogs, though he didn’t let it bother him. He didn’t fear their dogs, he feared very little these days. One too many doses of his own fear toxin he supposed. He grinned behind the mask, though to everyone his features stayed stoic. No reason he couldn't sound pleasant even if he looked intimidating.

The deal was quick and as pleasant as the Russians knew how to be. Scarecrow didn't mind the guns trained on him. He simply traded his compound for the cash. It was the first of what he was sure to be many transactions with the Russian Mafia. It had to be, there weren't many dealers left now a days, not with the Batman on constant alert. The ones that were left never came out of their hiding holes anymore.

Once the deal was done, Scarecrow backed away towards the drivers side of the van. He knew well enough not to turn his back on the mob. "It was a pleasure doing business with you gentlemen. Rest assured, my compound will take you places." With those parting words he got back in his van. Still ignoring the questions and chatter of his henchmen, he started the engine and headed out.
Naturally you wouldn't need to write that much in an RP. That's just an RP sample Kami did for another community once upon a time.

What is Short Hand style RPing?
Short Hand is another style of RP done in first person narrative. Essentially you use I/me/we and then followed by actions posted between asterisks (*) or any other chosen form to show that you're doing an action. Generally we don't use this style in AF, though sometimes you may find it to come in handy.
Example:
Character One: *walks into the bar, looks around.*
Character Two: *looks at the new comer and then back at the bartender* Fresh meat *smirks*
Character One: *sits down at the bar to order* I'll have a rye and coke...please.

Do I have to join all the sub-communities?
No, you don’t. you only need to join two: antea_furor and furorsubscript. However, say you’re a lawyer. You then need to join the Law Firm but not the Hospital or University. If you don’t have an occupation that’s in any of the sub-communities, you don’t need to join them. That being said, you can join all the communities if you want. If your character ever gets sick or goes to jail or anything of the sort, we ask that you temporarily join the community until said character is better or released ect.
We have since gotten rid of all the sub-communities, at least for the time being. You only need to join antea_furor and furorsubscript, which you will be prompted to do upon acceptance to the comm.

I'm used to RPing over threads, can I do that here?
By all means, go ahead! You can start a thread any time at your personal journal. With the sub communities sometimes it's easier to start RPs via thread post and later move to AIM (especially if things get heated and you don't want the world to see your dirty laundry). Also, during some community events you may thread, as long as they're public events/plots.

[City]

Can I make my own store in the City?
Generally we would say yes almost immediately, but there's always some things to take into consideration. If there's already one or two stores of the same nature then we'll say no and direct your character to pick one of those stores to work at.

Can my character move/switch room mates?
By all means yes they can! Just let one of the mods know and we'll move your character. When you apply, you either choose yes or no for having a room mate. If you choose yes, we will either place you with someone or add you into a new home with a '/' beside your name. Think of it like this: You've just moved to a new city and you can't afford your own place, so you share.
Remember, if you choose no room mate and you have something the mods consider a low income job, you'll get stuck in a crappier house/apartment in the poor part of town.

[Characters]

What’s an NPC?
Non-Player Character. It’s a common term in video games, RPGs and LARPs. A non-player character can be used and manipulated by player characters or PCs, but can not be officially brought into the game. They are a good way to scapegoat or advance your storyline. They are generally portrayed as innocent bystanders, shop keeps, children in a park, ect.
Please Note: If you are continuously using a particular NPC and the mods notice, you may be asked to app that character instead.
The mod NPCs are for mod use only, used to advance the main story line or to help out a character in a tight spot in their personal story line. Right now the Hora Custos and the Wishmaster are the only major mod NPCs.

Who are the Moirae?
The Moirae are more commonly known as The Fates. They are the three beings in Greek Mythology that weave the tapestry of life. They control who lives and who dies. Between the three of them they share one, all-seeing eye.
If the Moirae decide to cut your thread, you are dead. Because of the zombies, the Moirae blessed The City so that people could not be resurrected. It messed up their tapestry you see. Technically, immortals are immune from the Moirae’s life cutting scissors, however if their weakness is exploited to a certain extent, the Moirae can find a means to cut their life thread.
If you’ve seen Disney’s Hercules, then you’ve got a pretty good idea of who the Moirae are.

Can I play one of the Moirae?
No. Plain and simple no. They aren’t even NPC’s. The Mods probably won’t even bring them into play unless someone attempts to break their enchantment on The City.

Who are the Hora Custos?
Time Keepers. Not much is known about them. In fact, only the Moirae have even heard of them. So don't you worry you're pretty little head about them.

Can I play one?
No. Even more no than the Moirae.

Who is the Wishmaster?
Good question. Lemme ask the Wishmaster and get back to you on that...

Do I have to stick to cannon?
Only if you want to. Remember, different characters are going to come from different times throughout series. We like to see cannon as a guideline, feel free to expand from it.

[Storyline/Plots]

What's the story line?
The story line of Antea Furor is essentially good vs evil. But with a twist. If one side dominates too much, the theoretical scales will tip and time will end. It might restart, it might not. Who knows.

What's really the story line?
Never you mind. Just keep playing and having fun.

I have a good idea, can I submit it for future story line or plot reference?
YES PLEASE!

Can I create a plot that will affect the community as a whole?
Oh, oh please do. We mods are evil people and love having new plots and ways to screw people over. Or help them have fun. Anything from a street festival to your character discovering magic and accidentally gender swapping the entire City (or maybe just parts of it), we wanna hear it! Just shoot us an e-mail :)

The following are accounts and stories collected over the years of City history. The City is an ancient place, no one is really sure how long it’s been around for. Its history is scattered, bits and pieces surfacing here and there. The City has undergone many mystical fights which the innocent civilians of The City write off as earthquakes and other natural disasters. The main achieves building has been burnt down and destroyed so many times no one has bothered to rebuild it. The oldest texts and histories could be found in the public library, which was located in the University until it was burnt down. Few survived the destruction, those that did are now in a carefully guarded safe in the basements of the Law Firm. Any other texts or records are scattered through The City passed around as ancient heirlooms.

Some of the history has been passed down orally, though with that details have been lost or changed. Nothing is certain any more, many of the stories are considered myth and nothing more.

[Player Written Character Refs]
Sometimes players make up a species or edits views on them. With their permission they are posted here.

Feys; written by Ashe[feypower]
Fey
Fey, more commonly known as faeries or fairies, are perhaps one of the most diverse species that roams the earth. Almost every culture has had or has a version of what it considers to be a fairy, making the species wide-ranging and difficult to pinpoint. However, one common point that all fey have is that they can harness the powers of nature or of their surroundings and craft it to suit their needs. The common term for this is magic. But, because the species is so wide in variety, almost every faery is different from the next in terms of how they use their magic.
General
In general, all fey have similar capabilities and weaknesses. Their true forms are often terrifying and far from the standard Tinkerbell appearance so it is necessary to wear a human disguise while in public. These disguises are known as ‘glimmers’ and act as a mask. Most faeries are capable of changing glimmers as they please, going as far as to take on the appearance of another human. Glimmers cannot hold up very long and deteriorate after extended use. Many faeries also have wings that enable them to fly. If this is the case, their bone structures mimic that of a bird’s and they are extremely lightweight. All species of fey have the ability to use magic and create enchantments. A fairy can be killed as a normal human, but their natural healing and spells would revive their bodies. Iron and steel are known to weaken some fey, but higher powers have a higher tolerance for it.
Elemental
The most common form of magic for a faery to use is elemental. It relies on manipulating its surroundings, such as plants or a body of water. Elemental magic is used primarily to keep the natural cycle of the earth in order, such as helping plants to grow. Their powers mostly rely on fire, water, earth and air. Elemental fey are the most docile and peaceful of all fey and they generally avoid conflict.
Seasonal
Seasonal fey are, as their name implies, fey that embody and regulate the seasons. Of the seasonal fey, there are only two types: winter and summer fey. The winter fey are weaker during the summer and the summer fey are weaker during the winter but during autumn and spring, the two groups of fey are at battle with one another. It is almost impossible to get the two to agree with each other or even get along, as they are very stubborn and headstrong. Their personalities, appearances and powers often reflect what season they belong to.
Energy
Energy fey are possibly the most erratic and the least common of faeries. This type of fairy relies on drawing energy from their surroundings in order to feed itself or transfer it to a spell. As well as being able to take energy from their environment, energy fey can take energy from people near them, making them highly dangerous. Because of their ability to manipulate energies, they are skilled at constructing barriers, healing, enchantments and spells. Energy fey also make good trackers, as each person has a unique energy that they can sense out. Taking in all the different energies make these fey vulnerable to erratic emotions and susceptible to infection by dark fey. Their personalities are often erratic and many are addicted to one or multiple sources of energy (such as a person).
Dark
The dark fey are the single most dangerous type of fey, known to prey and feed upon only the negative energies of a person. There are many mysteries concerning dark fey, but it is well known that they are the most deceiving, cunning and dangerous. Whenever an energy faery is addicted to a person’s energy and the person begins to fuel them with negativity, a dark faery is created. With enough negative energy, the dark faery will overcome its host and the energy faery will perish. Dark fey thrive on negative emotions and are very much like energy fey in respect to appearances and powers. Dark fey are bloodthirsty and often provoke arguments, riots and even wars.

If you're going to be gone for either a short or extended period of time, it would be great if you would let us know. It helps us keep track of who is and isn't away during activity checks and you don't accidentally get removed from the community. Just fill out the following form and you're good.

If you do end up being away longer than initially anticipated (we will give you 5 days leeway) it would be awesome if you could let us know. Either on a comment to your original one, e-mail or aim message. We'll do what we can to extend your time.
Generally we don't allow people to go on hiatus for over three months

Reserving is a very simple C&P process, with a couple of rules to bear in mind.

  • Players can only reserve 1 character at a time.
  • Reserves last for 7 days after the initial reservation is made.
  • If you decide not to app your reserved character, reply to your initial post.
  • Players can not reserve another character until the first reservation has ended.
  • Extensions may be granted on reservations with mod approval. Send an e-mail with Reserve Extension in the subject.
  • Players who haven't applied with reserved chars by the end of the reservation period can't apply or reserve a character for another 2 weeks

For in depth rules on reserving a character, take a look here.
