16. ARE THERE LORDS AND LADIES IN ARCASIUS?
All of them! All of the characters! Over 9000 characters! No, but seriously, make as much as you can handle and try not for anything more.
02 CAN MY CHARACTER BE AN ELF AND A WEREWOLF?
No. Lycanthropy and Vampirism can only be given to humans.
03 HOW MANY WEAPONS CAN I START WITH? CAN IT BE A CANNON?
You can start off with two beginner to intermediate weapons. In the shop, these'll be the weapons that are 150 silver or less. So no, you cannot start with a cannon.
04 HOW CAN I EARN MORE SILVER?
Well, along with just posting, you can also gain some by doing things that benefit the site and your fellow members! Click here for details.
05 CAN I ONLY PLAY THE RACES LISTED?
Currently, yes, but we may have a race creation contest, so you can enter your idea then and see if it's chosen. Until then, just those are accepted.
06. WHY CAN'T WE PLAY SATYRS OR CENTAURS?
Because as of now, they are not considered citizens by the Arcasien government. It's as simple as that. They aren't allowed to buy things, they aren't allowed to own things, they aren't recognized. c:
07. ARE THERE SLAVES?
No. Arcasius has no slavery. They did away with that ages ago. People may get kidnapped and sold on the black market, but they aren't technically owned, and they could very well just walk out and tell a soldier, then that other person would get into huge-ass trouble.
08. CAN MY CHARACTER BE A FOREIGN PRINCE OR PRINCESS?
Technically, yes. There are many countries that I haven't talked about or even mentioned on the Races, or any other place. If you really wanted, you could play someone that's from a hell of a long way aways. However, we encourage you to take one of the royals in the canon list. Some of them aren't technically 'royalty,' but they are either leaders or related to leaders of foreign lands. What you do with them after you take them is up to you, of course.
09 CAN I DRAW MY OWN CHARACTER?
No. To avoid any issues with copywriting, we will only be accepting fanart or original art of animanga, manga, videogames, television shows, and movies. If you would like to use your own fanart, that's acceptable.
10. I WANT TO BE PART WOOD-ELF AND PART DARJ'IN; DOES THAT WORK?
Yes, it does work, but it would have some complications, and your character would probably die rather young. If you're looking on a halfsies race, then combine one of the other races with a human for little to no bad side effects. Keep in mind that the other race, not human, usually has the dominant genes in children, so if you have a high elf and a human, your kids will probably look more high elf. I hope that makes sense.
11. IS ARCASIUS AN ISLAND?
No, it's part of a larger continent with several other countries.
12. WHEN DO WE HAVE TO BUY A SHIP?
If your character is not a pirate captain, naval captain, captain of a merchant's ship, or captain of a trading vessel, then you have to buy your ship. However, if you are a captain, then you start out with the ship, unless you request otherwise, though I don't know why you would, cause that'd be expensive. If your ship is destroyed, you must buy a new one if you wish to continue being a captain of whatever. You can either purchase this yourself, or pull together money from your crew to purchase it, as long as they agree to it.
13. CAN I HAVE A TRANS/BI/GAY/OMNI/SNOWFLAKE-SEXUAL CHARACTER?
Yes, you can have a bi, gay, omnisexual, demisexual, polysexual, transgendered.. whatever I missed, character. Arcasius is not against homosexuality or transgendered people. Obviously, you may encounter some characters that feel otherwise, but as a whole, the kingdom is very accepting. If married, however, a same-sex couple is socially, but not legally, expected to adopt one or a few of the many orphans in the kingdom.
14. WHEN DO PEOPLE START WORKING, USUALLY?
Child labor is legal in Arcasius. In cities, most lowerclass children work in factories. By children, I don't mean, like, 3 or 4. Legally, they'll start working at the age of eight. In small towns, you can start apprenticing at the same age, and it's usually preferred over factory labor.
15. WHAT'S THE AGE OF CONSENT?
There is no set age of consent in Arcasius, as different races have different opinions on what age is considered an adult. Some, it's 20, and others, it's 13. So, really, it depends a lot on your race and what's socially acceptable there.
16. ARE THERE LORDS AND LADIES IN ARCASIUS?
Yes. Most upperclass folk are called lords or ladies. There are Counts and Countesses in different cities beyond the capital who act like majors; they are considered government positions.
