What is Bordertown?
Bordertown is collaborative brainchild of several talented fantasy authors. Basically, it is a modern-day city that sits between Earth as we know it today and the Otherworld. Elves and humans co-mingle against this urban fantasy backdrop fighting, playing and occasionally loving.

This sounds awesome! How do I start?
I'm glad you are so enthusiastic! Make sure to check out the Visitor's Guide and RPG Guidelines, and then head on over to the Character Sheets. Once a sheet is posted, I will PM you in up to 24 hours with either approval or what needs to be tweaked before you begin playing.

Why 24 hours?
Because I have two jobs and a life outside Gaia XD

I've read some Bordertown stuff before. Can I play some canon characters?
No. Due to rules set down by the original creator of Bordertown, all characters are asked to be original.

Can I be related to them, then?
No and for the same reasons. Feel free to know about the characters, though nothing more than an average citizen of Bordertwon would know wink

Can I be a dragon? Or a dragon-rider? Or a centaur? Or...?
All characters must be of one of three races: elf, human or half elf. Please see the Visitor Guide for more information on the characteristics of the three races.

I checked out the Census Buearu and it said a race was closed? What's up with that?
If a race is closed that means applications for characters of that race are not being accepted until more characters of the other open races are submitted. There are roughly and equal number of humans to elves and half-elves are extremely rare, so it wouldn't make sense to have 20 elf-elves, 15 elves and 5 humans, now would it? Check back with the Census Bearu regularly to see if any other races have opened/closed.

How many characters am I allowed to ?
As of right now, I am asking that members create no more than two characters to start off with. This is so you have a chance to give your characters lots of attention to develop them. If you wish to hae additional characters, please PM me with the character sheet and why you think you deserve (not want) an additional character.

Do I get super powers/items?
Check the Visitor Center for magical abilities or items that would be common for your character to have because of race (ex: elfin healing abilties) or situation (ex: magix power boxes that replace electricity in the city). Any abilities/items not listed as available to use in the Visitor Center must be applied for.

What's the storyline?
Why that's up to you, the Role Player and your characters! There isn't a single plot line running through this rpg. Rather, you have your characters interact with each other, create their own small plots and basically play out their lives on the board! Whatever adventure they want to get in, they can most likely find in Bordertown!

How exactly does one go about this Roleplay thing?
Check out the RPG Guidlines whether you be brand new or an RPG vetren!

I'm still a bit confused. Can you help me?
Of course! Feel free to PM this account at any time with questions or concerns
