History

Features

Blackstar contains a wealth of features, including four different currencies, (The Yen, The Cornelius Life, The Gerbil, and The Soul), a Bank Interest and Loan system, Ranks for numbers of posts and account age, Stores with purchasable items and services, a Stock Exchange, and Medals.

The Blackstar Dojo also has its own PM system as well as an Instant Messaging system called Prillian, but due to bandwidth issues, the IM system is currently offline.

Role-Play Style

Intended as a role-play site for everyone, The Dojo is "The place for Masters and Pupils Alike" to develop and perfect their skills at role-playing.

Blackstar is a freeform RP site, where there are generally no game masters, no extensive rule sets, and few restrictions on character types/styles. This does not mean it is without structure or limits, however. The Dojo is governed by these rules:

  • Show respect to others, as you would ask them to respect you.
  • Respect the decisions of the Admins and heed the guidance of the Moderators.
  • Powerplaying and offensive language are not tolerated.
  • Role-playing is intended to be fun, so any conflicts should be centered on characters, not the players running them.
  • Proper spelling and grammar is highly encouraged, and everyone's eyes will thank you for it.

The Blackstar Dojo uses a variation of the Evil Council's Standardized Role-play rules. A complete guide is currently in progress.
