The cheat sheet was a great idea :) Can't wait to see the other muses over time

Thank you so much, anon! We're delighted to hear that you liked our cheatsheet. We hope to add more of our members to the list soon as well!

Hello, do you have any advice on being approachable in this roleplay? I was a member in the past and unfortunately could not complete the activity checks due to a lack of plots with the other members (and I did not want to keep turning in self-paras). It wasn't that I didn't talk to them or didn't message them, but I got very little to no response and it felt like I was just pulling all the weight. Soon I might have time to give this place a shot again and I'd like advice to be a better member.

Greetings, anon!

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention and we want to sincerely apologize about your previous experience in the roleplay. We understand how discouraging it can be when it feels like you're putting in effort but not getting much interaction in return. But we really appreciate you wanting to give us another chance as well. As for advice on being approachable, if you've done your part by posting plot calls and contributing to plot discussions, we feel it would be up to the other person to reciprocate that energy. However, it could also be a matter of members putting caps on their thread/plot counts or going on hiatus, resulting in slower responses or activity. If you feel that those who have reacted to your plot calls have not been as responsive, you are always welcome to initiate conversations in the group chats (or join in whenever topics are being discussed) or approach other members' DMs. We know that some of our writers won't mind people coming to them for plots and are always up for it!

With all that said, this concern is something we take seriously. We will raise it with the group and remind them to be more proactive with plotting and welcoming newcomers and old members alike so such situations can be avoided and improved. Despite Nocturne's dark themes, we want to foster a welcoming space for all writers where their OCs can thrive.

On the other hand, we are aware that a lot of our members are currently busy with this month's holidays so it also might take time for others to reply or get involved in too many plots/threads due to real-life commitments. So we kindly ask everyone to be patient and understanding while waiting for responses and not take these delays personally. Again, we'd like to thank you for approaching us with this concern and we're happy that you're considering joining us again. We hope that once you do, your experience will be much, much better!

A LITTLE UPDATE FROM THE ADMIN TEAM:

Since the holiday season is in full swing, there might be delays with our responses and updates during this month. We promise that we'll get to everything as soon as possible, but we're hoping for everyone's patience in case we might not get to your queries or concerns promptly.

Thank you for understanding and we wish everyone happy holidays!

Greetings!

Just an update about our roleplay, we've recently created a cheatsheet for the collective. We hope that this will help both existing members (especially newcomers) and interested applicants gauge the current ongoings within Nocturne and its characters.

If anyone is ever curious about what's canon or not and the developments that are happening for the muses, this cheatsheet serves as a summary of it!

Keep in mind that this list is a work-in-progress and will be ever-changing as muses continue to develop their storylines. Currently, not all characters have been included as some have been on hiatus or joined the group after we posted the form for cheatsheet submissions.

We'll keep updating the list as necessary as possible while we continue to collect submissions, add new muses to the list, or if there are any developments within the characters.

Thank you!

Hi! Is there any bestiary that is mostly wanted in the place? I'm always all over the place when it comes to ideas and would like to see what people would like to see more :)

Hi anon, thanks for this question!

From the admins' perspectives, we'd love to see more muses as demons and forgemasters as well as regular humans. But we've also sent this inquiry to our collective so that they can vote on which character species they'd want to see in the group!

We'll update you with the results after 24 hours!

[nocturnerpg]

UPDATE!

Thank you for waiting patiently! Here are the results of the poll regarding what kind of species the members would like to see more in the roleplay.

In addition, here are some of the comments made by our members:

I wanted to vote on humans and scholars.

humans in general (whether that be regular, scholar, or forgemasters). i also.. would personally love to see more older muses, specifically with more muses like demons / vampires / forgemasters being 100-300 years old or more (or even just humans/scholars/lycans/etc who are 27+).

need more demons!

need more scholars with different elements so we can have the Avatar squad

HUMANS. forgemasters would be neat, and scholars too. though twisted demons with emotional connections to current muses would be fun too

i voted for demons, but like the rest: more human or human adjacent muses would be welcomed and encouraged!

forgemasters with different specialties would be nice. demons with connections to current muses. regular humans are always welcomed as well, so juni here isn't the sole regular anymore.

[nocturnerpg]

can you describe the ways of speaking in the rp? i'm sure it's not thee's and thou's, but i was wondering if it was more purposefully proper with the given time period. also, can you pinpoint the exact year this rp takes place? i saw mentions of the 1800's, industrial era, and daysdeath beginning in 1802 specifically. does that mean the year is also 1802? thanks in advance. =]

Thank you for sending your questions to us, anon!

To answer, we think the style of speech by the muses is quite appropriate for the period Nocturne is set. It's definitely a mix of formal and informal language. However, everyone's vocabulary and way of writing is different so we aren't really /that/ strict when it comes to how people want to write their muses and how the characters speak. As long as the dialogue isn't glaringly out of place, we allow everyone creative liberties. As for the exact year, Nocturne is currently in 1805. 1802 is when daysdeath began and three years have passed since then.

We hope this answers your queries and feel free to reach out again if you have more questions!

Are we allowed to apply as a demon (as the ones brought back by the hand of a forgemaster)? I'm not seeing anyone has that yet here and I just want to double check before applying

Hello, anon!

The answer is yes. You can make your muse as a demon who was brought back by a forgemaster. We don't have many demon muses currently but we would love to see more people bring them into the roleplay!

We look forward to receiving your application soon and thank you for inquiring!

hello nocturnerpg! can i ask how active are the current muns?

Greetings, anon! Thank you for reaching out!

When it comes to the writers' activity levels in our collective, it's difficult to pinpoint since everyone's speed in replies, engagement, and activity hours vary a lot. Some writers prefer to discuss plots on a 1x1 basis so we can't exactly gauge how much engagement is being done in private while some tend to be more active in the group chats.

However, we did notice that activity overall decreased quite a bit compared to the previous weeks. But it's also the holiday season so some slowness was to be expected and we understand it's the busiest time of the year for some. Most of the writers are people with full-time jobs or are still studying and real life always comes first.

That said, we still see a pretty decent level of writing activity happening. Starters are posted throughout the week from both new and old members while we see threads being replied to every now and then. We hope we were able to satiate your curiosity with this answer and that you consider joining our group! Thank you again!
