Why does all this look so familiar?Because it is! SoAsia works in mostly the same way(s) that SoAfrica does, and it made more sense to C+P/tweak than start from scratch.
Are there still naming rules?Oh yes! Some suggestions are Mongolian, Russian (check the 'output' box under transliterate), and Chinese.
Where do we RP?You may RP here, in the Shadows of Asia guild. You may also RP within the main thread itself, as long as you specify where you are (obviously, SoAfrica and SoAsia characters should not intermingle). Or you may RP on AIM/MSN/etc. It's up to you.
Where is Shadows of Asia located?SoAsia encompasses Russia and Mongolia.
When is Shadows of Asia located?SoAsia is set in the 13th century.
Can all the species understand each other?Yes, they can. Humans obviously can't understand any of them, though.
Can they be homosexual?We have no problems with that. However, we don't have advanced technology or anything, so if they wanted children, they'd have to adopt.
Do humans exist in this world?Yes, they do! However, this isn't Gaia, so please don't RP your avatar as a human character with your SoA. Because this shop is so focused on the animals, though, humans don't play a big part in this world.
Can my SoA have special powers?Unless your SoA is a god or a seer, then no.
What powers do gods have?See the Gods of Asia thread in the guild for more information.
How do I get a seer?Only the mortal children of gods are seers.
What can seers do?They can see the past, present, and future. However, they might not always be able to make sense of what they've seen. They have no other powers beyond this except with special seers given away in special events.
Can my SoA die?Only when/if you want them to.
Could they be reincarnated?Only gods are reincarnated. Regular SoA are not.
Hey! Where's the map?There isn't one. It's too much trouble to maintain, so we'll just pretend that we have unlimited space. Shh, who needs realism?
I have another question that isn't on here!Ship it to Mkodi in a PM, and we'll see what we can do.
