Worldbuilding Guidelines

'Before you read! These are merely helplines for novice writers/RP:ers. Thanks for reading!'

Hello there! My name is Scripturer and I assume you come here, as a new roleplayer, in the hopes of creating your very own lore. If you're inexperienced with lore/writing/RP than this can be the perfect opportunity to find out some basic tips on how to build your own characters, items or even continents! Here are a few basic points on general world building based on category.

Items

 * 1) Who created the item? Do we know?
 * 2) What is its basic function?
 * 3) Is it known. How many know about it?
 * 4) Is it associated with someone in particular (for example a king or queen)?
 * 5) What or who did the items impact?

When creating items you should...

 * 1) Try to make them compatible in the world in a way that makes sense (if you want a car in a medieval world make it out of material the world's inhabitants use).
 * 2) If it is a legendary item, show its impact (a king with a legendary sword might always be painted holding said legendary sword).
 * 3) Deconstruct the item (for example: What is a car? It is a transportation vechile that helps you, and some passengers, travel. With vague terms you can make the item become anything!

Races

 * 1) What is the core culture of the race? Feel free to use stereotypes here: "Most Garmungi loves food." "Almost all Muderians care about music."
 * 2) What are the most important events in their history?
 * 3) What are their appearances? Feel free to compare them to animals (visually speaking): "Garmungi look like lemur-men."
 * 4) What is their population? How widespread are they?
 * 5) What are the race's most prominent figures? What is their impact on the world?

When creating your own race you should...

 * 1) Keep it simple. Who are they? What are they most known for?
 * 2) Make them compatible in the world.
