FAQs

Can I use the picture of an anime character?
Yes. As long as you don’t use that character as your PC.

Are human pictures allowed to be used for our PC’s appearances?
No. EoL is an anime-based freeform RP. You may draw your PC’s appearance, though.

Can I make a character that has no alchemic background at all?
Yes.

How about a character which has no special abilities?
Yes.

Well, about my RP sample...
Okay, I understand. It is tiring to make another RP sample, so if you already made an RP sample, you can just copy your first RP sample or simply provide the link to your first character’s profile. But you want to make another RP sample, it’s okay with me.

How many characters can I make?
One character everytime your rank goes higher. But if you don’t want to make another character after getting a higher rank, that’s fine. It just means you have one character reserved.

Are graphic RPs allowed?
No. Avoid having sex scenes and such. So maybe you can just say they made love and blah blah blah but don’t be too graphic. Lime is allowed, but not lemon/citrus. And if there’s too much gore in your RP, you’d have to cut it too. But fighting is allowed.

Can I cuss/swear/curse during RP?
Yes, your character may cuss during the RP, especially if that’s just your character’s personality. But of course, keep that cussing to a minimum.

Should we speak English all the time?
Yes. You may only use Japanese (Japanese is a language in the EoL world) if you’re in Seizumi or if you’re from Seizumi.

Do we have any specific plot?
Actually, we don’t. And I really don’t like big plots. But I might change my mind in the future.

Why is it that my application always gets denied?
Maybe you didn’t read the rules. Actually, the admins and mods will say the reason for the denial of your application.

Do we follow a specific time in the RP?
Not really. There’s a possibility that people who join this RP are in different time zones. And besides, we’re not in real time RP. A single RP might take a week or a month for all we know. You may set your RP in any time, BUT we will follow the seasons. SO that means if you are in a certain RP, you’d have to quicken your pace. For example, today IRL is Feb. 11, then it’s also Feb. 11 in the roleplay. And another thing: we are set in present day Amestris so if IRL today is Feb. 11, 2007, in the RP it’s Feb. 11, 1914.

Uhmm, does my character always need to follow the law or school rules?
If you don’t want your character to follow rules, then so be it. That makes the RP more interesting, right? But of course, there’s still a possibility for your character to be caught by authorities.

Do our characters have to be newly transferred to AMA?
Yes. Well, for now enrollment is open and classes won’t start until we get enough enrollees. Admins and mods are exempted from that though.

How/when can I get a state alchemist character?
Well, it’s not easy, but it isn’t that hard to do. Once you’ve reached a Juni rank, then you may do so.

How can I get a homunculi character?
Same as getting a state alchemist character; you must obtain a Juni rank. BUT, it’s not that easy. Your character would be scrutinized by the admins and mods. We won’t give homunculi characters right away because there can only be SEVEN homunculi.

My user group title says I’m already a Chuui (second lieutenant—just an example). Does that mean my character is already a second lieutenant in the military?
Absolutely not. The user group titles are merely names for when you level up (e.g. your post number increases). Besides, in the RP we use English ranks, not Japanese.

Can my character be omnipresent—that is, I can RP a certain character in two or more different places at the same time?
Yes. That’s the beauty of this RP.

My character sheet is not yet approved. Can I still post in the forums?
Of course. But you may only post in the forums under the General category.
