5. IC Terminology

When you join the server, it is essential to maintain an in-character (IC) presence unless you are involved in a staff situation or when a staff member specifically addresses you during their duties. Throughout your time in-game, you should strive to never break character, or at least minimize it to the best of your ability.

To ensure a consistent RP experience and discourage breaking character, we have established certain terms and references that make sense within the roleplay scenario. These terms are designed to help you stay in character and refer to specific things in a way that aligns with the RP world, without the need to break character.

By adhering to these guidelines and actively engaging in your character's persona, you contribute to a more immersive and enjoyable roleplaying environment for all participants. Remember, breaking character can result in disciplinary actions such as being kicked, temporarily jailed, or even banned from the server.
