Sup, brahs?

Seraph here, nice to meetchya, dudes! I'm into dice roleplaying, and I've actually never played The Secret World but the premise is extremely interesting. From what I've seen, this place seems to run on the Fate system, which I've been warned is a pretty rigorous system to get into. If you guys have any tips on where to start learning the Fate system, or links, send a few my way.

Any help with character creation is likewise appreciated. Hope to roleplay with you bro's soon, brahs!

Aloha there and just like life, we offer choice :D

You can use any system you like, if it's FATE or something completely original and new that is up to you. I'll post up some links that I don't have access to at this moment or someone can post some links for you but FATE is pretty interesting system to use but there is a version of it that is more streamlined.

There's the character showcase here that you can use to bring your character(s) to life and is quite easy to work with (link to How To:)

There isn't any limits in only think of possible ramifications that might arise in having a young character involved with situations that would arise. The mythos of The Secret World can and is a brutal one at times.

Naughty Nits: We're not the place for your ERP needs, of course themes of an adult nature, violence, grim dark and sex themes are allowed, just no sexy parties, thank you.

Meaning that almost anything goes only that we just ask that anything that could be construed as NSFW be tagged as such.

Oh but having young character put through the mental grinder/brain bender is always a delight for me. (Especially when it's my own characters. Mweheh) There's a lot of potential for character developement in those situations.

Bah, no sex parties? Phooey. Guess I'll just have to settle for a boring pizza party.

...hopefully the delivery man doesn't turn out to be a giant tentacle monster that wishes to enslave humanity with its mind.

I'm not saying to not do it :D I throughly enjoy putting my characters through the grinder as well.

As far as sexy parties, no issues in including them as we deal with adult situations and of course that would naturally come up anyway. Have changed our rpg rating that includes strong sexual mentions, it's just that we don't focus solely on ERP. If you wanted to do a scene or RP of that nature just asking in that tags to be used and to be made known of what takes place inside ;) like a rating system I'll be working up :D

Excellent. I am wondering about abilities though. Are we bound strictly to the skills of the ability wheel when it comes to magic/paranormal abilities, or are we allowed to have some (reasonable) powers that would normally be nonexistent in-game, such as Pathfinding (via the use of visions, magic, or other supernatural means).

Personally I view it as a starting point in regards to abilities, some people role play a character in having all electrical abilities. While there is a portion of the elemental side that has electrical it also includes the other elements into it.

Definitely use artistic license when going through character creation, with a world that myth and legends are true a lot can come up that can be used.

Awesome. That leaves me with a lot of potential in my character. I think that should do it for now, but I'll be sure to message you if I need anything else. Thanks! ^u^
