Here's a short list of things you need to know about the game. Hope they help!
What exactly is this game about?
The game revolves around the idea that gargoyle's were created to guard and protect objects precious to us. Unfortunately Mages misused this concept and created them not with simple animation magic, but with the souls of living humans. One soul was enough to empower one Gargoyle and thus the madness began.
Human souls gave a gargoyle more passion intelligence and surprisingly better fighting ability. Depending on how they were made they had different characteristics and even two Gargoyle's made exactly the same way would still be different. No two gargoyle's are alike, it just doesn't happen.
So what do I play?
For now you play a freshly freed Gargoyle, eventually you will be able to create Mage, vampire and werewolf characters, but for now let's stick to the Gargoyle's.
What do I do in the game?
You decide really.
You have the burdens that you can complete, that is the main storyline, the gargoyle's trying to break the curse laid on them and return to their former lives. Some believe this is a myth, others truly think that this is the only way and then there are those that believe that when a gargoyle finishes his tasks he becomes an angel. Though this is only a story.
The Mages are also trying to wipe out these 'free thinking' gargoyle believing them to be a mistake they must rectify.
Some play for revenge. Trying to get back at the mages for what they did and taking back what is theirs.
There are those just trying to get by and forget what they are and desperately try to fit into the human word, for some it works, for others it become an emotional game of denial and iron will to keep it up.
In the end there's a lot to do, you just have to decide which path you want to take.
How do I complete a Burden?
Burdens are completed with official Staff/Player Role-Play. These can take place anywhere and can have as many players as you want. The staff member will play the victim/monster/thief/druggie or whatever and you guys do the rest.
Cluster? Hunh?
These are packs, sects or gangs of gargoyle's, pooling together to be more efficient. Usually it combines a group of different Masons who have the same ideals, burdens or just enjoy each others company. It's a lot more fun to be in a Cluster, building for better Role-Plays and eventually becoming part of the greater plot.
There are four main clusters to choose from, each has a leader and have different ideals about what to do in this life they find themselves. But they seem to have a sort of purpose and thus drives them onwards.
NOTE: There is not a lot of information as of yet on the forum about Clusters, that is because there is not yet enough players. When more start to join we will start the Cluster creation boards. Then you guys can start your own Clusters.
Anything else?
Yes, have fun! This game was designed to give you guys as much freedom as possible. Try to be as creative as you can when Role-Playing and if anything is bugging you please feel free to either PM me or ask a question on the 'FAQ' board. Thank you.
