I've been thinking..... if someones Subrosian were to say show someone what they look like under their cloak would we have to run it by the admins to make sure it is okay and make a huge bnackstory so they are seprated and the Subrosian secret is kept safe?

Long sentence is long. I'd love not to hammer on spelling and grammar outside the apps, but really, I can make little sense of your question. However, I don't think it's board-shatteringly huge.

Either way, for subrosians to be a succesful race we've already established that they need to be able to do stuff and hold stuff like weapons and bags. So unofficially "our" Subrosians do have arms and hands, it's just generally accepted. What they look like under their cloaks, well noone knows.
But your welcome to venture. We've had Shrale who wrote a terrific guide on Tokay, perhaps the same could happen for Subrosian.

In essence, there's no real secret that the board is protecting, because nobody on the board knows what they look like, correct? =)

There's no real secret unless the gamedevelopers know any more than we do. So far, all we know is they're a peaceful folk that live in the middle of the earth and just happen to wear cloaks and hide their face, all the time.

well i was asking since no one on this board knows what they look like if it is ok for someone roleplaying as them to describe what they are like under their cloaks so we don't have someone saying they are agile because their monkeys(what they say they are) under their cloaks.also would it be okay if I made the guide on em?(sorry that first post was written quickly because I had started writing it and my time on the computer would be up soon)

Just because I can, I will show you the difference in readability with minor changes.

I hope you see the difference.

Anyway, if you want you can make up what your Subrosian looks like... It's kinda awkward though, they never show themselves Feel free to write a guide on Subrosians, but keep in mind other people might have different conceptions of what they're like under their cloaks, so you might want to keep it general to avoid huge discussions.

Yea sorry about that. Either way the guide wouldn't say what they look like under their cloaks just general info on them like the Tokay guide. Thank you for the answers and sorry about the poor grammar & spelling.

It's ok! I see a lot of improvement between your last post and the one I corrected already, it's amazing. I would advise you to use commas, dashes (-) and semicolons (;) to break up your sentences more; they tend to be pretty long.

Anyway, I'm happy that someone is up to try and write a guide for Subrosians! They're an undervalued race too, we need more Subrosian-fun :)

I don't want more Subrosains I just want everyone to know that they aren't bad- For example the Subrosain I am making is VERY agile and can do flips and such-and that they can be diverse and be used as seats JOKING but yea mine isnt from Subrosai he is from a village of Subsorains so he doesn't know everything the ones in Subrosai do. But yeah enough rambling im going to go start on that guide and if anyone wants to help just pm me.

Well, that's dangerous, writing a guide when you haven't really roleplayed the species too much, or done all that much research (I assume, please correct me if I'm wrong). Shrale, I understand, did a lot of research for his guide, even drawing out his own map of Crescent Isle.

I personally would wait, roleplay your character a bit, and then write up a guide once you feel you have a really good grasp on the race. We have a lot of good Subrosians around (Nomi Lem comes to mind), and you might want to confer with them as you're writing it, as well. But don't put anything restricting cultural, religious, or even physical abilities/beliefs. Because a lot of people play the same race differently.

For example, I play Ranuu as a fairly strong Rito with quite a bit of physical ability. Utsumei, a player on the old board, played her Rito as extremely frail, since birds have hollow bones. The character would get hurt every time we went anywhere, as I remember. See, there are so many differences between the playing styles that writing a guide from either point of view would make the other one seem wrong =)

So yes, like Aure said, you'll have to be vague and really pay attention to how they're being played before you write a post. That's my advice, at least =P

But then again, some people say I meddle a bit too much so it doesn't matter if you take my advice or not.

I'm not putting restrictions in the guide for bad characters but more of a guide on what you can ADD to them like nomi lee has the top hat. I put that even though they wear cloaks thats not all they wear. I am trying to show that they aren't boring and restricted in looks and such, After i start role playing and get better I will update it with what not to do.

It would be cool to see something of a Subrosians guide. But if I may make a suggestion? Write it in a text editor and use a spelling and grammar checker before you post it. And try to make shorter sentences, yours tend to become a tad long and incomprehensible because of that (I have the same problem sometimes).

Shrale has done an excellent job on his Tokay guide, so if you use that one as an example I'm sure your guide will turn out good and non-restrictive

I might make one for the simple Deku Because we need an sorta active Deku if you catch my drift...

Oh right! I forgot about that. Sorry.

thats all i needed to know so could someone lock this or something? my question was answered.
