CORE ROLEPLAY POLICIES
1: In Ohr Gaming, roleplay, whether in a tabletop setting or a MMORPG, is never completely divorced from the game's setting and mechanics. We like to approach the use of roleplay as an addition to gameplay, and not a replacement. The type of roleplay that our guild enjoys is typically a mixture between original ideas and concepts and what the game has to offer, including various challenges and points of progression in your character's journey. While we don't expect every player character to be the "Chosen One" as the game's story might dictate, we do expect that you approach any and all roleplay with the goals of immersion and cooperation.
2: While our rules state that members must be 18 years or older, we do not condone the open practice of ERP ("erotic roleplay") to such an extent that your online persona revolves around it. Just as in real life, when someone is focused entirely on sex, they are 99% likely to be obnoxious and pretty vapid as a person. There are exceptions to every rule, but statistically, you aren't one of them. We ask that you use the utmost discretion if you choose to do any adult-themed roleplay, and that we as a guild not be made aware of your activities. We do not want to smell your post-coital stink, real or otherwise.
3: We also allow for a wide range of characters, but strongly discourage players from choosing characters that are childlike, naïve, or actual naïve children. To put aside the fact that such characters tend to be grating, they're also an open invitation for creeps. Please create characters that would more realistically survive and thrive in the environment and setting chosen. Characters that behave in an overly foolish manner will reap the consequences of being stupid. We're forgiving of mistakes, but we've got our limits.
4: We do occasionally hold roleplaying events, brainstorming sessions, and more, but please do not rely on us to create your character and your story, or to make them interesting. We're all about collaboration, and that means that you have to bring something to the table if you want to get something back. We highly discourage anyone from joining in any roleplay who intends to stand around and wait for something to happen. Even in DM-guided sessions, it is your feedback, your participation, and your creativity that make the experience worthwhile for everyone involved, especially the dungeon masters who give their time, energy, and focus toward creating entertainment for you.
5: It should go without saying if you've read everything up to this point, but please, no extremely super special snowflake characters that are also drama magnets and incredibly powerful, rare members of a species, etc. Look, let's be honest: We've all had ideas we thought were great, and they weren't so great upon reflection or criticism from others. Ask before you decide that it would be a genius move to deviate from the norm so that you can get real and honest feedback from someone in the guild. We aren't trying to be the arbiters of anyone's creativity, but in the interest of shared roleplaying worlds, interactions, and plans, we ask that you try to work within believable and immersive limitations when creating characters or drafting up story ideas.

It is expected that everyone in the guild to be able to handle mature content. As can be expected from the theme of the guild – a group of mercenaries who will take whatever measures necessary to take back their homes – Ohr Gaming will go over some dark stuff. Drug use, sexuality, gore and the like would not be unusual. It’s much closer to say that we encourage more mysterious atmosphere than your usual role-playing guild. Whereas the typical fantasy RP guild is comparable to a Forgotten Realms novel, we are much closer to George R. R. Martin and R. Scott Baker. If you are comfortable with them, then chances are you would do well with Ohr Gaming. However, if you find the darker side of humanity to be something you are not comfortable with, then this community is not for you. It should be noted that we are NOT an 'evil' guild, good and evil are subjective terms and should be treated as such. Despite exploring darker themes that doesn't mean we are an ERP guild or a bad group of characters, we welcome all types of role-players into our community.
