What are "Guards of Alabastr"?
BASIC INFORMATION
Guards of Alabastr or GoAs are fox-like creatures, about half the size of an average wolf. They come with many markings, but never extremely bright colors or neons. They live in camps, exclusively on the isle of Alabastr, hence the name. Adults are mainly nocturnal, but pups under the age of one sleep during the night and awake during the day. The reason for this is on their first birthday, GoAs all head to the nearest beach and pick a star. Then, depending on the type of star picked, they will be given a rank, using the following system;
Blue Star ~ Brightest Star, most commonly seen, therefor most commonly picked. GoAs that associate with this star usually become expendables; average camp member with a basic knowledge of fighting, or hunters; who gather food for the camp.
White Star ~ GoAs who associate with this star usually become crafters; who comb beaches for scrap metal and sea glass and create armor (which each camp member, regardless of rank, is given on their second birthday) or scouts, who keep an eye on the other camps for signs of trouble.
Orange Star ~ GoAs who associate with this star exclusively become warriors. They undergo a years training and have extensive knowledge of combat.
Red Star ~ The hardest star to see, and the rarest picked, GoAs who connect with this star become alphas or deputies, easily recognized by their gemstone decorated armor.
After this, GoAs form a bond with the star and can get sick if they don't see it for long stretches of time.
Camp Rank System
PROGRESSING RANKS
If you want your Guard to have another rank after you adopt them, you can earn points to progress ranks. This doesn't mean your scout can become a warrior, however, he/she can become a "Agile Scout" and "Scout of Alabastr" Here's the progression list, with points;
0 Points / Expendable > 100 Points / Skilled Guard > 300 Points / Guard of Alabastr
0 Points / Hunter > 100 Points / Skilled Hunter > 250 Points / Master Hunter
0 Points / Scout > 150 Points / Agile Scout > 350 Points / Scout of Alabastr
0 Points / Crafter > 200 Points / Valued Crafter > 350 Points / Skilled Technician
0 Points / Warrior > 300 Points / Experienced Warrior > 400 Points / Master Assassin (Master Assassins can start their own camp, which has five members instead of twelve. Read "Camps" for more info)
0 Points / Deputy > 800 Points / Alpha (If you collect enough points to become an alpha, you can start your own camp! More in "Camps")
0 Points / Alpha > 100 Points / Legendary Alpha (All Alpha ranks can start camps)
HOW TO GET POINTS / KEEP TRACK OF POINTS
You earn points in competitions posted on the adoption center thread. (Here.)
Once you adopt a GoA, and it's accepted into a camp, a point count will be posted on the camp page.
(See "Camps")
ARMOR
Armor generally stays the same, except a few minor decorations like feather and different engravings.
(Note to artists: Scouts and hunters don't have back-plates on their armor)
CAMPS
If you adopt/earn an Alpha, you can start your own camp. There can be twelve members in a camp.
The exception is an Assassin owned camp, or AOC, which can have five members, warrior and assassin only.
Camps become more important in the RP. If your camp members start an RP battle against another camp, the winners earn 10 points for each member, and five camp points. Camp Points become very important later in the RP, for SE. (Special Events. In "RP") If you want to start a camp, head on over to the camp page.
RP
The RP is what this is based around. It is a major part of this, as an Adoptable Sim Game, and can have effects on your characters. Battles between camps earn camp points (explained above) which help you in special events. Special events will be started in RP by me, with a SE Announcement. This could be anything from "*Camp Name's* scouts have been spotted around your territory" to "Ghost attack! Go and fight them back before they get closer!" The more camp points you have, the more chance you have of your camp getting good special events, compared to bad ones.
Alabastr Wildlife ( For the RP )
Alabastr's wildlife is much like America's, with two exceptions:
Wraiths:
When a GoA passes away, it's spirit "cleans" itself. But all the flaws, evil thoughts and actions and impurities have to go somewhere. They take on a life of their own, with a twisted version of the GoA's personality. They look like 3D shadows of their GoAs. Some are more dangerous than others, with pastimes ranging from playing tricks and stealing objects to kidnapping baby GoAs and even attacking adults.
Tempests:
Tempests are gigantic creatures which are extremely rare. They are about the size of a large storm system and look like giant birds, and occasionally fish, made of dark clouds. They are so big they don't even realize there other creatures below them, but cuase havoc creating violent winds, storms, floods and blocking out the sun - and stars - for weeks on end. This can cause illness, as not even the brightest star can shine through. Luckily, there are only a few in existence.
COMPETITIONS:
Find the stars
You are approached by a young , white GoA with a mournful expression on her face.
"Hey." she mumbles. "You haven't seen any star shaped gemstones around, huh?"
You shake your head, puzzled.
"Oh well." she sighs. Seeing your concerned expression, she looks hopeful.
"My aunt was making some cool new Armour. But I hid her rare star shaped rocks as a joke, and a wraith ran off with them. He scattered them around. If you see any, could you give them to me?"
You nod your head, and tell her you'll search for them too.
"Oh, goody! Please hurry, she's really annoyed. I'm sure if you return them she'll give you a reward!"
Search my GoA related posts for stars. First five people to make it to ten stars get a surprise accessory and 50 points. <3
