Presence is a somewhat ineffable attribute, functioning somewhere between willpower and renown, that allows people to "get stuff done." Most literally it reflects a character's actual presence in the world, but it carries the word's additional sense of possessing a certain notability.
Earning Presence
Presence is earned in several ways:
- Logging into a character, once per day.
- Making roleplay forum posts.
- Engaging in roleplay with other players in-game, once per day.
- Thinking/feeling/remembering as your character.
- Earning esteem from other players.
- Awards from staff for outstanding roleplay and/or story-telling.
Using Presence
When you first receive Presence, it is merely a score of points that builds up on your account. It's how you invest these points that will help you define your results. You can choose to:
- Invest into one of your characters. This will increase that character's Presence attribute, which can eventually be used to unlock certain abilities that require Presence. If your character dies, half those points that were invested will return to your account.
- Invest into a character's story arc. This will boost the position of a submitted story within the story request queue, which itself is meant to ask for staff-moderated results, such as special plot engagement, visions, NPC attention, or other things that may guide your story along.
- Invest into your account. If you level up your account, you will be able to access more options in character generation and will have the chance to play rarer and more challenging character concepts.
- Put in a query for NPC interaction. A small amount of points can be spent to request an interaction with an NPC via the QUERY commmand.
- Create a new area. Presence points can be spent to build your own area through the DungeonMaker system, which is then submitted for staff to approve and add to the game world.
Usage
To view your Presence, use the PRESENCE command.
To invest your Presence points:
INVEST <number> into <character name>
INVEST <number> into <story arc title>
INVEST <number> into account
