Fate Chasers
The Fate Chasers is a roleplaying guild for Kender Chat.
Created by Felljammer (also known as Arkos or Daos) in an attempt to bring back
the art of roleplaying and the long forgotten virtue of imagination back to the
KC. The Fate Chasers are led by Arkos Dragonclaw, a soldier turned
sellsword who wanted to make a difference in bringing the balance between good
and evil back into order. Depressed by the climbing power of Evil, the
waning strength of Good, and the inactiveness of Neutrality--Arkos wondered what
he could do to help. Gathering like-minded souls, he formed the Fate
Chasers: A mercenary guild dedicated to helping the people of Krynn and
fighting off the legions of darkness. Members of this guild wear amethyst
broaches, showing their allegiance to the Fate Chasers Guild.
The Fate Chasers are as much an OOC guild as an IC guild. The Fate Chasers
are dedicated to those who wish to roleplay and have fun, rather than number
crunch Dungeons and Dragons stats. That's what campaigns are for.
Fate Chasers look out for one another, both IC and OOC, to help ensure the art
of freeforming stays alive.
The rules of joining the Fate Chasers are as follows:
1. Freeformed Characters only. The character cannot have any stats
whatsoever, including levels, ability scores, saving throws, attack ratings, and
modifiers. All battles are freeformed and are not to rely on dice
whatsoever. We want you to focus more on having fun than being bogged down
in math.
2. No Munchkins Allowed. The Fate Chasers won't tolerate munchkinism
of any kind. If all you care about is winning battles and earning 'Ph4+
l3W+',
then you need not bother applying.
3. Dragonlance Characters only. As Kender Chat is a Dragonlance
settings, players may not submit Forgotten Realms or Grayhawk characters to Fate
Chasers. If it can't be found on Krynn, it won't be found in the
guild. This includes orcs, drow, lycanthropes, and psionics.
However, any other DL character may join regardless of class and race.
4. No player may have more than one character in the guild at any
time. This is to discourage those who would play half the roster in an
attempt to gain political control of the guild, as sometimes happens in other
guilds.
5. Only characters of good or neutral alignment may join. I have nothing
personal against evil characters, particularly those that are played
well. But I feel like there are too few good characters nowadays.
Besides that, the leader of the guild is Lawful Good, so he wouldn't tolerate evils in his guild.
6. All members must wear the amethyst broach. Where you wear it is
up to you. You can wear it as a pendant, as an amulet, even engrave it
onto your sword hilt. This gem represents the commitment to your fellow
members and to the virtues of the Fate Chasers: Friendship, Adventure, and
Righteousness.
Code of the Fate Chasers
Friendship - The Fate Chasers isn't just a guild, but also a
brotherhood. Even if you aren't into having lots of quests and adventures,
the Fate Chasers is useful for meeting new characters and interacting with
them. Members of the Fate Chasers are strongly encouraged to interact with
other members. Camaraderie and fellowship are important to us. It's
all about roleplay.
Adventure - Who wants to sit around drinking tea all day? I mean,
if that's your thing. But I can do that in real life. Part of
roleplaying is adventure and having fun. Members can at any time propose a
quest--either a planned one or a spontaneous one. You can post on the
forums and have a big quest at a set time, or just round up all the current
members online and do something off the cuff. Because all members are
freeformed, one doesn't need to take into consideration challenge level.
Righteousness - Do right. Help people. Evil characters are
not allowed in the guild because part of the purpose of the Fate Chasers is to
balance out all the evil characters and organizations. Neutral characters
are allowed, only if they don't mind doing good deeds. Although the Fate
Chasers don't insist on working for pay, they do ask for donations to help keep
their organization going. It's not at all unheard of, however, for the
Fate Chasers to do a deed for free.
