This is a guide meant to help new players acclimate themselves to Massivecraft’s Lore and Roleplay scene.  
==The Setting==
Aloria is a planet occupied by many different races of Alorians. The premier global power, the Regalian Empire, is a zealous and militant Empire led by the humanoid Ailor, the most populous and powerful race in known Aloria. Aloria is entranced in a time-period most resembling the dark ages in technology, but the early enlightenment in philosophy and ideals.
Massivecraft Roleplay takes place in the Regalian Holy City; capital of the expansive and imperialistic Regalian Empire. The city is highly militaristic, and discriminates heavily against non-[[Ailor]] races, non-[[Unionist]] religions, and non-[[Imperial]] cultures.
==Character Creation==
For the sake of creating a new character and getting involved in the server’s Roleplay scene, it is recommended that you stick to a simple character design: That of a common [[Ceardian]] [[Ailor]]. The Ailor are the most similar race to humans in real life, and Ceardian culture is very similar to English culture. In Massivecraft, there are no set “Classes,” though there are various [[Combat]], [[Intellect]], and [[Magic Schools]] (Though Magic requires the special “Trustee” permission that you can worry about later) your character can specialize in with an Approved Character Application. You can look into some of the more intermediate Schools (Listed below) but should stray away from more difficult or complex Schools.

==Getting into Roleplay==
The Roleplay hub of MassiveCraft is the city of Regalia! To reach Regalia, type “/tp Regalia”. From there, you walk straight until you reach the Golden Willow Tavern. The Tavern is the central meeting-ground for those seeking Roleplay. It is here that you can meet new people, form stalwart friendships, and make despised enemies. At the tavern, walk around and try interacting with other individuals. Some characters may be more receptive to yours than others! Keep talking to others and keep in mind these few tips.

==Different Emoting Symbols==
Emotes are a pivotal part of roleplay with which you are able to convey action. They are added at the end of each sentence you write when you mean to have your character perform an action or when you’re simply describing. They can also dictate the manner in which your character speaks. Here are the emotes you’ll need to know:
*”+” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is in action or when you’re describing your character to other players. For example: “The man made his way into the tavern.+” or “The man wore fine robes made of silk.+”
*”))” is added at the end of your sentence if you’re trying to speak out of character. This generally helps with the communication of roleplayers while rp goes on. For example: “How tall is your character? Just asking for reference.))” or “I’ll be back in a second, need to take out the trash.))”
*”$” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is meant to mutter. Mutters are a little louder than whispers and can be heard from about 6 blocks away. For example: “Lower your voice, I don’t want the group beside us to hear.$” or “What time did you say we were meant to depart?$”
*”*” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is whispering. Whispers are heard from 1 to 3 blocks away, meant for a sole person to hear, usually. For example: “I think we should take our leave now.*” or “We need to speak about something later.*”
*”#” is added at the end of your sentence when you mean to set the scene or simply describe the setting in a room. It’s also used during events for NPC’s. For example:  “Those who entered the room would smell a strong vanilla fragrance.#” or “Distant footsteps could be heard from outside the room.#”
*”>” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is singing song lyrics or cheerily speaking in a singing tone. For example: “I have never met a woman like a woman from Regalia!>” or “ Oh dearest sister come out, come out, wherever you are!>”
*”@” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is announcing something. Announcing emotes cover a large radius and should not be used all the time. They’re generally used for events or when speaking to large crowds. For example: “Come one, come all, denizens of Regalia!@“ or “Everyone please disperse the area at once!@“
*”&” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is commanding or ordering. Generally used while doing guard roleplay or when giving a strict order or demand to another character. For example: “Rally men, come on now!&” or “Stop what you’re doing right now!&”


==Character Sheets==
==Where To Get Your Start==
When Roleplaying on Massivecraft, one of the first things to do is to create a Character Sheet. This is a painless process through which our Lore Team verifies that your character is compliant and balanced within the scope of our universe. Not only does this ensure you are in sync with the rest of the players, but it helps you establish a name for yourself and gives you the ability to join organizations that vet players via Character Sheets. In order to have your Roleplay character approved by the Lore Staff, you must fill out the template located [https://forums.massivecraft.com/threads/character-applications-template.54735/ here] and post it in the [https://forums.massivecraft.com/forums/character-applications.290/ Character Applications] section of the forums.  
There are plenty of things to do in Regalia and different types of Roleplay to get yourself involved in. The following are Roleplay groups defined and categorized based on their traits and what the ‘style’ of Roleplay entails:
