General Group Creation Guide

Guide

At ChroniclesRP we love and share in the creation of new fantastic stories and locations. However, to keep our Wiki organized and to keep from being overrun we ask that before you submit a new Guild or Group you first establish several roleplays around it. This will not only help flesh out your creation, but will also allow people a better view into the small piece of your story you are creating.

You can add a summary of your location in a paragraph here. The following list provides the key details, but can also be provided in the settlement infobox (add link)
  • Name: (What is the name of your group? How is it referred to by others?)
  • Group Type: (Is your group a Guild? A mercenary Band? A traveling Circus? Give us a quick reference)
  • Size: (How big is your group? A dozen men? Hundreds? Thousands? Remember to keep it reasonable for what you want your group to be.)
  • Alignment: (Though Chronicles doesn’t use the standard alignment of the Fantasy Verse, it’s good to know the general attitude of your group. Are you good guys? Bad Guys? Neutral? Or somewhere in the middle?)

Purpose

(When a group is formed there is generally a purpose behind it’s formation. Whether you’re trying to create a Guild or a band of Mercenaries, there is a reason behind its creation. That reason is important, both for understanding the motivations of the group itself as well as those characters involved within it.

In this section please outline and detail the purpose behind your group. Is it simply to make money? Is it to keep a particular area of the world safe? Is it to pillage and wreak havoc upon the world? There are a myriad of purposes that can be used by anyone and everyone. It is important to find the right one for your specific group.

It should also be noted that not every group has a singular purpose, and that over time the purpose of an organization can change. Feel free to detail these things in this section as well, though ensure that it is clear what the organization currently strives for.)

Structure

(No matter what every organization or group has some kind of structure to it. Whether it be through a single leader or democratic decision, it is important to note just how your organization structures itself.

Within this section please detail how your group is organized. Point out whether there is a single leader, a council, or who sits at the ‘top’. Also note just how decisions are made and passed down along the ranks, who carries out what and generally how this process actually happens.

You can also use this section to tell us how leaders are chosen and how they got into place originally. If it is relevant you can also note how people can rise through the ranks and join your group, making it easier for others to RP with or inside of your group.)

Background

(The background of your group is one of the most important pieces of your article. It is this section that allows us to understand the motivations behind the Groups creation, their actions, and pretty much everything else.

This section should be used to detail how the group was created, what the motivation was, and why it still sticks around. You can also use this section to detail some events within the history of the Group. This isn’t necessarily supposed to be a complete look into every single event that occured on Chronicles or in your group, but rather an indepth look into the important things of your group itself.

Perhaps detail a power struggle within the group that marked a great change in the organizations directive, or tell us of a time of great profit. Use this section to help us better understand the group itself throughout its existence. If your group only recently came into existence perhaps detail some of its founding members.

This section is more of an Out of Character blurb than anything else. It details what we the readers should know about your group in order to properly roleplay with them. It will give us a better picture of what we can expect and just how to use them in a narrative.)

Lore

(The Lore Section of this Template is perhaps one of the most important. Here you should detail what is known of your group within the wide ranging world of Chronicles RP.

This section can be both short and long, it can be written in the style of a journal, history book, or just in a standard way. It is however important to fully convey just how your location is viewed by others and how much is known by folk at large. This will aid other writers in actually interacting with your group and further aid them in including your creation in the narrative.

One can also utilize this section to establish unique and interesting story aspects of your group, giving you an opportunity to create history from the point of view of your organization and those within it. Remember that this history is from the point of view of your group, and not necessarily the truth of the world.)
