Welcome
to the world of Mortal Kombat: Nightblood! We’re glad you stopped by, and if
you’re interested in figuring out what our RPG is all about and what you need
to know to get set up and playing in our game, then you’ve come to the right
spot!
This
is our beginner’s guide, which will give you a quick overview of our game, and
how to get started if you’re interested in playing as well as links to were
more in-depth information about certain aspects of our game can be found.
First, some background information:
What we are:
·
A
linear play-by-post text role playing game
What we are not:
· A
fan-made video game
·
A
MMORPG like World of Warcraft or Everquest
With that said, I’ll explain more
about our story. Chronologically MK: Nightblood is set in-between the MK3 and MK4 video
games story-wise (with some information from the MK movies and the MK TV shows
thrown in) where players are invited to pit their mortal, human characters
against the machinations of the fallen Elder God Shinnok to save the Realm of
Earth. Please note that you do not have to know anything
about
Mortal Kombat to
play in our RPG!
Links for more information about our story:
· The
Story So Far: A deeper explanation of
what we are and when the story is set as well as a summary of the in-game story
so far and a listing of the current cast of players and their characters.
· The
FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions about
our RPG and how to play it – Very helpful!
Now, after reading all of that, if
you’re still interested in playing with us, here’s a step-by-step guide of what
to read and do:
1.
First,
join our Forums
2.
Read
the General Forum Rules: Yes, they are long, but they are that way for a reason. Then after
if you want to introduce
yourself to everyone, we’d love that and if you’d like
to join the RPG…
3.
Read
the RPG Rules:
Again, these are long, but they are essential to how we play here.
4.
Create
and post your RP Character: Please be aware of the following information:
§ There
is NO MK
tournament currently happening in the story – we are fighting to protect
Earth realm from Shinnok’s invasion. Inter-realm travel is cut off currently.
§ No
“bad guy” or villain characters allowed (for our reasons why, check our FAQs)
§ No
ninja characters or characters
whose stories read something like this.
§ Mortal,
original characters are in demand, but if you want to play a MK cannon
character (like Jax, Sub-Zero, etc.)
check
here for who is open to be played.
5.
Then you wait for a Storyteller (either HorusRe or Jaibyrd) to read and review your character. Then…
§ If
you character is accepted, HorusRe will
give you a power
level and put you into one of the Nightblood RP threads and
then you can finally play!
§ If
you character is not accepted, HorusRe
or Jaibyrd will be contacting you as to why your character has not been
accepted. PLEASE – do not take offense! We are very willing
to work with you to get your character ready to get into the game! Please be
willing to work with us to make some changes and the character will be accepted
in no time, get a power level and allowed into the game!
There you go, what MK: Nightblood
is about, how to play and where to find most (there is much more to be found
on the Fourms – just read around) of
our important information. If there is something you’d like to see here that
might help you getting around, or if there is a question we haven’t answered,
please feel free to ask Jaibyrd and she’ll get back to you as soon as she
possibly can. Thanks for stopping by and we hoped this helped! Hope to see you
in the game soon!
