What kind of template are you looking for? One that's linear (has all the information in a single pathway - example), or with the information broken into pieces side by side and kind of a box format (example)?

Make specifications and I can probably put it together for you for free. (Templates are a hobby of mine.)

Not sure if you still want to learn or not since this post is rather old but if you'd still like to learn and haven't managed to find a tutor yet, feel free to check out a couple of these links.

I'll see about modifying the butterfly a little then. ^^ Let me know if you have problems with hidden scrolls because I have a ready made version without hidden as well. I'll test it out and you can request any changes ya like.

Tossing in my opinion cause I'm a fresh newbie and possibly a fresh opinion and what not but for me it's like this:

The concepts of a tribe interesting. I mean, I would totally get behind it, I love being a little different to the clans (most of the fanclans I've attempted to put together or join have been a tad bit off from the norm) but it just seems that tribes fall flat somewhere along the way.

I don't know if it's that it feels like there's just not enough freedom, or whether it feels a little dead, but the idea of being in a tribe almost feels boring...? I'm not saying it is, but whenever I think tribe, I just think drab?

It's like they need an entire makeover if that makes sense. Maybe just change their name, get rid of tribe and make it something fresh? Maybe the Band of the Falling Stars rather than Tribe of the Falling Stars? I just naturally feel more inclined to join anything that isn't Tribe.

Perhaps it's just me, but in the one tribe I did join (a friend of mine made it and I really tried, I did), it just felt like things moved too slow - as in the IC pace - and the members kind of ignored you if you didn't immediately latch onto another character as a friend or something. I've just had better experience with bonding with the characters and roleplayers of clans than tribes I guess.

On that note, it might be more interesting to start the tribe with a plot in mind? I mean, everyone seems to have some kind of tragic back story for their clan/group/tribe and its creation, but what about now? What fun can we get out of the aftermath? Maybe if there was an incentive to join like... play the bad guy, be the reason why the clan falls apart, have a disaster happen right then and there. I mean that's one of the reasons I joined one of the clans I just recently applied to, it had a "dark time" coming and I was intrigued.

Again, I am not really sure why, but it might be all of these things that make me just not even notice tribes at all. It just seems that they... blend into the background and become blah.

I don't mean to say anything offensive about them but that's what I'm kind of gathering so far from my experience. Hope it helps you some though.

I'd be interested. It would definitely be fascinating to be part of a cult. Particularly intrigued in what kind of events they'd have. 0.0

Track, will make form later. Just kind of side tracked at the moment and will need to locate pain meds soon.

Good, good, I want that link soon~

Oh I sure am (messaging you that is). Not finished yet though. Still got at least two more lessons.

AND MISTAKE?! WHERE? -chickenbrain-

Hm? I dunno about that. I use the first, like all the time.

AAH. It's not a mistake, it's just a difference in how they work. See:

I'mma go edit it. The #em just ensures the sides are circular, the #px allows you to change things a little differently. Now I gotta go play with them and check out the difference.

I'll pay off half of the current cost you need (320,000) and if you can't raise the rest in seven days just post again and I'll consider paying off the rest!

Jaq nodded lazily into his arm then lifted his head slightly, "I'll have to test out that theory sometime." He straightened in the chair and rolled his shoulders back, hands bracing his weight on the edge of the chair behind him. "I can't say much 'cause I only studied enough anatomy to know the largest pressure points for matches," Jaq rolled his eyes at the foolishness that was his youth.

"Hm?" He slid forward so his body was pressed flush with the chair and let his legs seemingly dangle out in front of him on either side of the chair's back, "Feeling better? You're actually smiling now." Jaq did a once over of the teenager to gauge the damage done over all and slumped both arms over the chair's backing at the shoulder so they, too, limply hung towards the floor.

Studying Talon for a moment longer, Jaq smiled himself and nodded decisively, "Definitely looking better. You ought to smile more often."

Hi!

I'm pretty much into everything and anything (except extreme gore) as long as it has some kind of plot(?) driving it. I do try to stay away from major cliches but I'm good with feline, human, (supernatural humanoid), or other animal.

That sounds good to me! Right now I'm a wee bit slow to respond because of pain levels, but we can get started anytime. :)

[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px; width: 350px; font-family: Sylfaen; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;]
Thanks so much!

Okay, let me revise my order a wee bit down to the definites and then ask more questions. I feel so bad for asking so many questions, I'm sorry!.

For my sub account (please send it directly there if you can, thanks!) I would definitely like: Elemental Powers, and Power Bundle.

For my account (just ditch it on this old baby): Rare Pet Grab Bag 2

Right now this order comes up to: 8 Tokens.
Should I send them to you now?

Questions:

Would purchasing the body bundle now include any new bodies that might be added to the game later?
Example: If you guys added Cats from the Moon next month, would I need to buy a new bundle to cover that?

That would make it worth all 10 tokens, definitely.

Also, would that apply to the power bundle as well? Just so I know, I don't really care on this one because it doesn't cost so much anyhow.

And another one, I am so, so sorry, I feel like I am wasting your entire day away or something:

On the topic of the subboard (not for right now, but since it's there and I really would like to know for future reference), would this subboard have to be part of the main game or could it go in the general/other boards? Could it be for Out of Character stuff?
Just for example: If I wanted to create a board dedicated specifically to... teaching(?)... stuff, would it be possible? Or a board that has to do with entering an alternate world/realm/timeline, would that be possible?

(Just to be clear, I have no clue where these ideas are coming from, so please don't hold them against me.)

370,000 headed your way. If you don't raise the rest, feel free to post again in a week and I'll see about paying off the rest. ^^

Hey Petal! I've been having a little trouble with a couple things, so if you'd let me bounce board them off of you a little, that'd be awesome.

So, I've discovered that the more I try to keep things short the longer it gets. Right now the guide keeps getting longer with a short intro, a rather lengthy history (that I am both in love with and conflicted about), a semi-lengthy blurb on their beliefs with the Oceans of Stars (now divided into the Moonlit Pool and the Dark Supernova), another really lengthy blurb on their "Cup of Covenants" which includes, only the one oath (to simplify a little) and then combined the other traditions such as:

Their names, a slightly new one called the Storm Festivals and the inner Tempest that every kit has to manifest (either in song or dance, so it opens up a lot of room for creativity - of just nabbing them a theme song), the four Passage of Rites (the Rite of Recruitment, of Marriage, of Retirement and of Award) which all have a lot more to do with meditation and a spiritual connection to the ocean of stars, and something called Guardian Familiars.

Then we have Monsoon Island which isn't complete yet but will have everything on their home territory.

Following that, we have my major problem. The Order of the Storm Borne; basically? the ranks.

I'm tempted to erase the idea of having four factions and instead have these: the Expedition Division, the Military Force, the Specialist Team, and the Ceremonial Sector.

The resulting changes of the ranks would be this:
The "Alpha" would instead become Director (of the Expedition Division) and assisted by (two?) Special Agent(s), the regular members would be Agents.
The General (of the Military) would stay the same, as would the Lieutenants, and the Mercenaries.
The Chief (of the Specialist Team) would stay the same with Supervisor, but we'd have the opportunity to make these members into a variety of different jobs if having so many wouldn't be detrimental. Such as Trap Specialist, Medic with a sub division of Field Medic and Battle Medic, Ninja/Assassin, and even Poison Specialist just for a few. They would all count as basic ranks but be considered different Jobs they could consider when joining.
Another major difference would be that the Priest would change to Cardinal (of the Ceremonial Sector) and under them would be Priests. Then you'd have an additional change in the Recruits, they would be called "Acolytes" while they live with the Sector, primarily while they're learning to call forth the inner Tempest then have the option to become a Recruit and study to be one of the fields or choose to remain an Acolyte and eventually become a Priest (which would be a regular rank but with semi-high position attributes).
Finally, I am currently debating the inclusion of a class system referred to as the First Order and the Second Order. (With the possibility of opening up a Third Order for ranks of servitude for those that have been disgraced, left a member behind during a raid, disobeyed commands, for punishment, or even for absolving new nations, I don't know...) This would mean the First Order would contain:

A Sovereign, or Emperor/Empress, The Storm Knights and the Lords and Ladies of the First Order. The Storm Knights would be just a fancy additional title for heads of the different divisions (only exclusion being the Ceremonial Sector which operates on its own), and the Lords and Ladies would be their assistants. The only rank that would be passed down by family, or blood, would be the Sovereign rank.

The Second Order would contain most of everyone else: the Agents, Mercenaries, Specialists, Medics, Assassins, Veterans, Priests, Acolytes, Recruits, Mothers, Kits.

I don't know if I should include all of that however, so what do you think?

On another note, I'm also thinking about adding in a few extra details about the Storm Borne Champions (SBCs). Let me know what you think about it because I am very conflicted:

So, I'm thinking that the SBCs lived in what used to be a very populated human island (they were initially brought there by human), and so they've assimilated a few "Human" like things into their society (including names). Things such as maybe ribbons which they use to differentiate ranks(?), like they put a red one for the military and a white for the ceremonial sector? It'd be fascinating. And maybe even like add in a few other things they've found in abandoned homes (where they would actually choose to live) since the humans disappeared after a hurricane swept through the land and no one ever returned, making the island something akin to "uncharted" to humans.

I don't know, I've been fascinated with this idea in a couple of other groups I've been seeing around, and been apart of, and I really want the SBCs to be epitome of everything I love about this game, but I still don't want to over do it by too much.

On a closer to final note, I would like to ask you, PetalDance, to formally be a moderator of the SBC. This would mean that you would have the same power I would over: accepting applications, enforcing rules, demoting characters if they are inactive, inappropriate for the rank, etc. etc. You would also have the ability to make "allies" or "enemies" with other clans/tribes/groups if you feel up to talking to other clan owners, etc. Basically, you would have the power of a Co-Owner.

Finally, I promise, I am thinking that since I am pouring so much into the SBC, would it be appropriate for me to make a subaccount just for the SBC. However, what I'm really tempted to do is make SBC the main account and Arz the subaccount. I'm not sure what this would do to my current sub accounts, but it would give me some freedom. And others would be able to become subs under the SBC as well if things ever went that far. Of course, I would probably offer it to you and to other moderators if this takes off, but I am still not sure. So I will keep it as a sub for now and maybe unlink it later?

Thoughts? (and I will be posting the new template sometime soon... Just have to get it... completely revamped first... hahaha)

Okay I'll send over 8 tokens when I switch to the other computer. Should be soon.

And oh my gosh. I feel awful for having you run back and forth between us but thank you so much, you really are lovely. <333

Edit: I think I sent them to you... but I'm not sure how many I sent total?
