Abduct
Syntax: Abduct (target)
Syntax: Tuckin (target)
Syntax: lookfor (target)
This command can be used in a room where a player has logged off and, if
successful, will bring the unconscious body back into the game where it
can be interacted with. No one will be able to wake the character until the
player logs back on. Abduct can only be used within a few hours of the
target logging off.
To determine whether or not the attempt is successful, a number of factors
are taken into consideration based on the abductor’s stats, the abductee’s
stats, and the location the abduction is taking place in. Some degree of
luck is accounted for as well.
The abductor will get bonuses based on his stealth skill and whether or not
he has legitimate access to the property.
The abductee will get bonuses based on his acute senses, fast reflexes,
perception, and, should he be abducted from a house, the household security
and household guards of that location. If a warding ritual is in place, the
abductee will also be significantly harder to abduct. An abduction will
always succeed if the abductee is tied up. Abductions cost money and require
cash on hand to cover the costs of the drugs used. The cost will vary depending
on how difficult the person is to abduct, with higher tiers costing more.
Unsuccessful attempts may result in the victim fleeing to another property or
the forest.
The tuckin command can be used to place the character back into a regular
logged off state.
The lookfor command can be used to see if a logged off person is currently in the room
with you.

Abusive Roleplay
The staff does not consider it their place to judge the quality of each
player’s roleplay and typically adopts a hands off policy in regard to it.
It is the staff’s hope that the design of the game itself encourages and
fosters good roleplay.
However, exceptions will be made when roleplay is considered to be abusive.
In these instances, staff may punish places or even work to undo some of the
damage which has been caused by the offender. Such instances will be
handled on a case by case basis.
Examples of Abusive Roleplay could be:
* Ignoring imprints regardless of their quality.
* Failing to use the sex or rape command when required.
* Taking any PvP action without a reasonable expectation of survival or due to
a disregard for that survival. e.g. Murder suicide
* Griefing as explained in help griefing
* Roleplaying doing something you cannot codely do.
This brief list should impart some sense of the sort of behavior that will
land players into trouble, but is far from exhaustive. If anyone has any
questions regarding whether or not an action will be considered as abusive
roleplay, please contact the staff for guidance.

adesc
Descriptions added by others
An adesc is a piece of description that someone else writes onto your character: a mark they left, a smear of paint, a message scrawled on your arm. It works like a ddesc (see help ddesc), uses the same locations, and shows in the same places. Each character can carry up to 100 adescs.
Writing one on someone
adesc create (person) (keyword) (location) (hours)
–Open the editor and write a description onto another player character in the room with you. They are told that you are adding a description to them, and so is everyone else in the room. The keyword is the name they will use for it.
–If they are helpless, it is active straight away. You can also give a number of hours, at most two, during which they cannot deactivate or delete it.
–If they are not helpless, it arrives switched off and the hours are ignored. Whether it ever shows is up to them.
Descriptions others wrote on you
adesc list
–List the adescs on you, with where each one goes and whether it is active.
adesc search (word)
–Show the full text of every adesc on you that contains that word.
adesc activate (keyword)
–Switch one on.
adesc deactivate (keyword)
–Switch one off. While it is locked, you are told how many hours are left instead.
adesc delete (keyword)
–Remove one for good. You cannot delete one that is still locked.
When an adesc is switched on or off, you see your appearance change, and so does everyone in the room who could see it. It follows the same rules as a ddesc: clothing hides one on a covered part of your body, and a smell one is only noticed by a keen nose (see help ddesc). Being desclocked does not stop adescs, which have their own lock.

Adventures
Adventures are a particular type of story, created through the storyidea

Syntax: storyidea (number) subfactiontwo (subfaction)
Syntax: storyidea (number) makeplot (Plot title)
Syntax: Plot apply (number) comment
Syntax: Plot finish (number) (List of participants separated by spaces)
Adventures are tasks given by one or two subfactions to a set of players,
Haven is a source of many capable supernaturals and is a natural recruiting
ground for when these subfactions wish for aid. Some are given by a single
subfac, some by two working together(joint) and some are two working against
each other(competative).
Adventures usually take place outside Haven, either on earth or offworld.
They may be one roleplaying session or several, at the conclusion of them
the subfactions will reward those who took part in a variety of ways. The
rewards are relatively minor, since going on an adventure is supposed to
be enjoyable in and of itself. The rewards also decrease a little if more
people are included, and are three times higher in competative adventures
since there is a chance of getting no reward at all if your side loses.
Players may sign up for adventures with plot apply, and leave a comment if
they wish, they’ll automatically be given a rating then indicating how well
liked they are by that subfaction, generally speaking SRs should take the
highest rated players on their adventure, but they might make exceptions
if a high rated person wants to bring a friend as mentioned in their comment
or cannot make the times when the adventure is to happen.
People who take part in many adventures will have a natural penalty to this
rating.
While each subfaction has lists of common allies, enemies and tasks, these
are guidelines, feel free to come use other alliances/tasks or enmities if
they make sense.

want to miss tells. AFK shows up in your prompt until it is turned off.
Tells to link-dead players are stored in a similar fashion, and can also be
seen by typing replay. (unless of course the player logs off before
reading them).

Alts
The rules on alt interactions boil down to simply this. You may not use
one alt to benefit another.
This includes using one alt to talk up another, to make them seem smarter or
cooler or better in any way. To use them to provide support for, to do
services for, to provide resources or aid to. To make them more
sympathetic, to provide them with an enemy and so on.
You may use an alt to represent your character’s employees if they have any,
but their relationship must be purely professional. They must not believe
their boss is an unusually good boss or their employee an unusually good
employee or anything similar.
The only exception to this is if they take the employee relationship, see Help Employee

Angelborn Lore
Also Read: Help Angelborn Mechanics
A long time ago, powerful flesh mages created the ultimate servants for
themselves. They designed them to be beautiful, to have wings and the power
of flight for speedy transportation, and most importantly to be incredibly
supernatural empathic. These beings would feel the wants, needs, pains and
dislikes of those around them more keenly than their own. If you wanted a
message delivered, they wanted to deliver it, if you wanted your feet rubbed
they wanted to rub your feet. They were the perfect servants, however
eventually the secret to creating them was lost and over time they died out.
Their descendants however, remain. It’s unclear if they were named Angels
because of their similarity to the biblical beings, or if indeed the
biblical beings were named Angels because of their similarity to them.
Their descendants today are referred to as Angelborn, none today still have
wings or any remnants of them, but many like heights and dream of flying.
They are also more attractive than most people and tend to live a little
longer. Most importantly they still have some degree of the Angelic
empathy, while not nearly as strong, they still naturally want the same
things as those around them. It works like a sort of unspoken peer
pressure, and draws them naturally to jobs and lifestyles that are more
selfless or service oriented. It’s common to find them working in charities
or as aid workers, or even as masseuse or prostitutes.
The tears of the Angelborn can be used to make a sort of love potion. If
someone swallows a shot glass or so worth of Angelborn tears they will be
infected by a powerful version of angelic empathy, focused on the first
person they become aware of. For the next 5-6 days that person’s wants and
desires will become their wants and desires and they’d do whatever they can
to fulfill them.
Today angelborn genes are erratic like other supernatural genes. Usually
activating only once every three of four generations. The chances of any of
your direct family also being active angelborn is astronomically small, but
it possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to be. There’s also a
decent chance that twins, both fraternal and identical will share the trait
if one has it.
Angelborn much like faeborn and demonborn can be either latent, passive or
active.
Latents are effectively entirely human, but there is a chance that at some
point in their adult lift the latent genes will activate and they will
become either active or passive.
Passive angelborns are mostly human, but they have the appearance of
angelborn and their supernatural empathy. They also have a special type of
blood that’s used in certain rituals.
Active angelborns are passives until around the end of puberty, usually
seventeen to nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate
later in life, although this is very rare in people not living near the
Gate. As well as the effects of passive angelborns actives also gain other
amazing supernatural powers.
Note: Angelborns are physically entirely human in appearance.
When they were first created angels were given a vulnerability to obsidian
in case their empathy ever failed at keeping them in line. While this has
never truly been needed the vulnerability is still present to this day.
Angels and their angelborn decendents become weakened whenever struck by
obsidian weapons and cannot break out of obsidian bonds or cages no matter
their preternatural strength.

Arcane Focus
There are three main focus paths: the arcane tree (minions, rituals, mancing); the combat tree (melee and ranged combat); and the professional tree (wealth, contacts, and social/job skills). Each focus tree has its own set of foci within it. Every point spent in one of these trees, regardless of whether or not it’s on the same focus, unlocks greater potential for development in terms of stats and occasionally powers.

Arcane Patrol Events
Arcane patrols do not require you to be moving around the grid, but are
greatly aided by your doing so. Every few minutes you will visibly close
your eyes to use your arcane senses while on arcane patrol.
One)
Your character finds an item of mystical value, unfortunately it is cursed
and upon touching it the curse awakens. Others with the arcane patrol habit
will sense the awakening of the curse and your direction and be able to seek
you out to come to your aid. Once you have at least two other arcanists to
help you you can attempt to decurse the item with patrol decurse. Over the
next approximately one hour you can RP decursing the object with random
echos emitted as the object resists the attempts. At the conclusion of this
the item will be turned into material which is of supernatural value if
contributed to a society. It is then up to the players to figure out who
will get the item and how the spoils will be divided if at all.
Two)
Your character senses a malevolent spirit arising somewhere in the
graveyard, they and others with the arcane patrol habit will sense it’s
direction from them and can move to that room to attempt to banish the
spirit. As long as at least three arcanists move to the location you can
then use patrol banish to attempt to dispel the spirit. You then have about
an hour to RP banishing the spirit during which you will experience random
echos as the spirit resists the attempt. At the conclusion every character
involved will be rewarded with some RP exp and personal karma.
Three)
Your character attacks an enemy of your society with magic. An enemy of
your society is determined by if they’re a member of an opposing alliance.
When the curse begins both sides members who are on arcane patrol will sense
the building magical battle and can come to the aid of their members. During
the battle characters on both sides can use patrol pledge to devote some of
their life force to the conflict, every time they do so they can also add an
argument that will be emitted to the other side anonymously. In the fashion
of patrol pledge (amount) (message). At the culmination of the battle the
side with the most life force contributed, modified by their arcane power
will win, and the initiating character or the victim will be remotely
harvested mystically, the other gaining a small empowered gem that can be
contributed to their society. Some portion of the total life force spent by
everyone else is also added to the gem.

Arcane Power
Arcane power determines how long mancing effects last in combat, or how
powerful they are as well as the duration of ritual effects. It is
determined by comparing the investment into arcane focuses of the
practitioner +1 against the tier of the victim. Then multiplied by their
difference in life force. It is also significantly effected by stagger, and
is more powerful against characters modified by curses.
The minimum it can reduce effectiveness to is 10%, the maximum 300%.
During patrol events it is further influenced by the other arcane stats of
the practitioner.

During patrol events it is further influenced by the other arcane stats of
the practitioner.
Arcane Society
While practitioners of magic are a very varied group, when they come
together there are some customs they all tend to follow.
Due to the greater ease of stealing youth while somewhat physically old,
most arcanists tend to look in their forties or fifties.
Arcanist or Practitioner are the most accepted terms for anybody who uses
magic, with Practitioner being preferred in non-supernaturally aware
society.
Those who can use battle magic but not yet throw around pure force are
usually called Mancers, and battle magic of this type is generally referred
to as Mancing.
Those who can throw around pure bolts of fire or lightning or similar forces
are called Sorcerers, and that type of magic sorcery.
Most arcanists first spend time as an apprentice, working for their master
in exchange for tutelage. In some organizations apprentices might be
apprenticed to a group instead of an individual. In formal introductions
it’s customary to give the name of your master, and often even their master
even if the arcanist is no longer an apprentice. Such as: “I am Jane Smith,
student of John Smith, student of John Doe.” , While an apprentice would
introduce themselves as “I am Jane Smith, apprentice of John Smith, student
of John Doe.”
Apprenticeships vary significantly in length, few are shorter than one year
or longer than ten. Abuse of apprentices if a very common practice in many
magical circles, but rarely discussed. It is not uncommon for them to be
taken advantage of sexually by their masters, to be beaten physically for
poor performance, to be sacrificed in rituals if they do not perform, to
have their life force fed upon, or their possessions and finances claimed by
their master. This is obviously far less common in organizations like the
white circle, and far more common in organizations such as the black. When
it is brought up it is generally swept under the rug as simply, the cost of
the privilege of learning magic.
The circles and their members are often simply referred to by color, such as
“He is a red”, or “I hear that happens in the black.”
If someone is called a witch it generally means they are either a member of
the coven, or were taught by them.
A rogue is someone who belongs to no arcane group.
A hedge mage/witch is someone who has been self taught and are generally
looked down upon.
A magical duel is a fight in which neither participant may assault the other
except through magical means, and continues until either the participant is
no longer able to stand, or no longer able to keep fighting such as if they
have no sorcery and their minion has been dispelled. Among mancers this
becomes in essence a test of minion against minion, with their mancing being
used to try and effect the outcome, among sorcerers however it usually
becomes much more a battle of energy vs energy. It is almost impossible
under the rules of a standard magical duel for a mancer to defeat a
sorcerer.

Assist
Assist
assist (person) (how you help)
–Help someone in the room with a roll they are making. Describe how you are helping, in up to 120 characters. You are shown your assistance, and the storyrunner in the room is told about it. When they roll, the room sees how each assistant helped.
Each person assisting adds a die to the roll, and the best die counts. The storyrunner’s challenge sets how many assistants may add a die, and the person rolling may have limited it further when they used try. Remember that a 1 on any die is a critical failure, so every extra die adds risk as well as help.
Only assistants still in the room when the roll is made count. Your assistance lasts until the person you are helping rolls, then it is cleared. You can only assist one person at a time: assisting someone else replaces it. You cannot assist yourself, and you cannot assist an NPC.
If the person is butchering a corpse, assist (person) (anything) helps them with the butchering instead.

Attractiveness Lore
In the world of Haven Attractiveness is one of the main tools that
monsters use to manipulate and control people.
If you’ve ever wondered why people are more likely to listen to an
endorsement by a pretty celebrity than a learned scientist the answer is
that simply, this is how the monsters want it.
As most attractive people are either monsters on in league with them
it’s in their interests to keep humans hung up on standards of beauty and
adhering to the same set. As such in the world of Haven physical
attractiveness is not very subjective. While subjective preferences can
make a small difference in who people find appealing it would never be as
large as a single point on the represented scale out of ten. Which is to
say that for example no heterosexual woman would find a male who looks to be
a 7 out of ten more attractive than one who looks to be an 8 out of ten.
This isn’t to say they can’t find them more attractive overall, just they can’t
find them more physically attractive.
Nor can any human ever entirely happily settle for what they have. A world
in which a human settled down with a partner and then was immune to
temptation would be a boring one for the monsters and so they’ve ensured
that will never happen. No matter how happy someone is with a partner or in
a relationship they will always feel a physical attraction and temptation to
those who are more attractive, although that isn’t to say they can’t resist
it.
The distribution of attractiveness follows a rough bell curve, with the
average at 5.0 out of ten. At around 8.5 characters are starting to
look as attractive as celebrities and models, by 9.5 they are among some of
the most attractive people in the world.
Some who learn about the true nature of the world, and that the human
obsession with beauty is an engineered tool of nefarious supernatural forces
designed to keep them under control and easy to manipulate try to resist
conventional standards of beauty, but this has never been successful, the
hooks that have been placed into the human subconscious simply run too deep.
While people can force themselves to act as if they are unaffected by a
pretty face it is never the reality deep down inside and many monsters will
take great joy in proving that to the person.

attractiveness score
Whenever you look at any unmasked character you will see a number out of
ten representing how attractive they are to your own character.
The attractiveness stat makes the largest difference and allows players
to indicate if they want their character to be attractive, unattractive
or average.
There are three other aspects that go into attractiveness:
Body: Determined primarily by the physical conditioning stat.
Provides enhanced benefit if you are wearing less clothing than you
typically do.
Presentation: Determined primarily by the fashion knowledge stat.
Provides enhanced benefit if you are wearing an outfit that is more
expensive than you typically do.
Face/Skin: Determined primarily by the beauty rituals stat.
Provides enhanced benefit if it has been less time since your most
recent shower than typical and/or you are wearing more makeup than
is typical.
You can use the ‘checkout‘ command to look at the breakdown of a
character’s appearance.
Being higher tier will also add an additional boost for each tier
above 1. And small boosts can also be obtained from perfume, shapewear,
ambient light levels, and character affects like orientation, vehicle
buffs, praise etc.
Attractivess works exactly the same for men and women.
The bloodbath command can be used to partially reset your characters
history for body/presentation/face/skin.

Aura
Haven paints naturals with an aura when they arrive, only visible to
those with nightmare charms. They start off green, and eventually turn to
blue-green, then blue, before it fades. Auras help supernaturals determine
how to treat naturals, if someone has a green aura they may just be passing
through, and it’s important for the lore that the supernatural be kept from
them. As the aura changes however, it indicates someone’s been there a long
time, and supers should start making plays for their allegiance.

prevent it from being used on you, so it’s only real purpose is against
people who’re pissing off everybody at once.

Becoming Supernatural
Supernatural development usually begins right as puberty starts to end.
The most typical age for this in males is 18, 16 for females. Development
takes on average three years.
Supernatural development generally begins quite subtly, with mild increases
in health and physical performance, those around the developing supernatural
might notice that they generally seem to have more energy than normal, and
begin to perform better in sports.
The development takes it’s toll however, only a few months in most would be
supernaturals start to exhibit mental symptoms. Mild to severe psychiatric
disorders, as well as irresponsibility, poor judgment, recklessness are all
common side effects. While mental disease is no more common in adult
supernatural than adult naturals, a full 75% of them will have a past
history of mental disease or crime. Short prison stints or periods in
asylums are relatively common.
About mid way through the process actual supernatural abilities and talents
will begin to develop, usually starting off very uncontrollable and of
extremely mild power but slowly increasing in strength. It’s also common at
this time for characters to begin to have dreams related to their ancestry.
As the process comes to a close, the mental effects fade away, the dreams
become much less common and the individual’s abilities both grow stronger
and come more completely under their control. As far as the world is
concerned the individual has successfully managed to ‘turn their life
around. ‘
There are two ways for supernatural development to be blocked. The first is
insanity, characters who’re highly mentally unstable will be stuck in stage
where their powers are weak and uncontrollable, they also are often stuck
with the ancestry dreams as well, which can make them useful research
subjects for trying to glean more information about the past of
supernaturals. This also means that despite their likely troubled past,
serious mental disorders of the mundane type are all but unheard of amongst
active supernaturals.
The second is complete closed-mindedness to the possibility of the
supernatural. This has to go far beyond normal scientific skepticism. It
can occur when treatment for their mental illness is particularly severe and
effective, or when someone has been raised into a strong belief that
contradicts the existence of the supernatural. Occasionally people with
particularly distressing powers or who’ve used them in particularly
distressing ways will create a subconscious block themselves preventing
their belief. Societies also occasionally brainwash people into this belief
in order to lock their abilities away.
Mature development also occurs but is much rarer in the world at large.
Only 5% of supernaturals will develop late, but there’s no particular time
when it will occur if they do. It’s much more common than this in Haven
however because of the proximity to the gate. It also occurs if someone has
a block that occurred before or during supernatural development that then
breaks in later life. Mature development is much faster, usually taking
place over only a few weeks. However it is also more dangerous, if the
individual develops psychological or behavioral problems they’re likely to
be much more severe, causing people to become raging psychotics or malicious
psychopaths for short periods of time before the effects fade.
Many people attempt to become supernatural, fortunately a good portion of
the world’s population has some fragment of a supernatural gene within them,
and thus have a chance of manifesting it if they try. When successful these
attempts produce something very similar to mature development, although the
psychological and behavioral side effects are usually less common, only
affecting about 25% of deliberately manifested people.
Methods:
Alchemy) Experimentation with potions comprised of mixtures of mundane and
supernatural ingredients can be effective at triggering a manifestation.
Although the exact same potion will never work on two different people.
Gene Therapy) Modern science also has a solution, genetic therapies based on
the genes of manifested supernaturals can be effective at triggering
manifestation, although again each treatment is unique to the patient.
Meditation) Some people are able to trigger manifestation after prolonged
periods of mastering monk like meditation practices.
Ritualism) Experimentations with mystical rituals directed at the target can
be effective at inducing manifestation, although again the exact ritual will
be unique to the individual, it also tends to go through a lot of blood
before the right one is found.
Trauma) Sometimes manifestation is brought on by serious physical or mental
trauma, in some cases this may be used to attempt to induce manifestation.
Sometimes in very primitive ways such as torture, other times in more
clinical ways such as anesthetized electroshock therapy.

Bite
Bite
Vampires and wights need to feed in order to maintain their health. While vampires are able to feed off NPCs through setting their habit, with the risk of possibly killing them, wights must feed off PCs.
Before you bite
–You can only bite player characters, and they have to be helpless.
–You cannot bite while you are fighting, pinned or helpless yourself.
–A vampire cannot bite in a public place if any other player is there besides you and your target, or if the target has guards with them. A wight cannot bite in a public place at all.
–If you have the hypnotism ability and your target is not already helpless, bite first tries to catch their gaze and put them in a trance (see help trance). For that your eyes have to be visible and the target has to be able to see you. A tranced target counts as helpless and does not notice a mild bite, or a bite to the neck, thigh or wrist, although anyone else in the room does.
–Severe, critical and fatal bites break a trance, so for those the target has to be helpless some other way, such as tied up.
Bite intensities
bite (person) mild
–Drink a little. You take some of their life force for yourself, and they are left unwounded. If they are tranced and already wounded, you need better restraints than a trance.
bite (person) severe
–Drink deeply, leaving them severely wounded, for twice the life force of a mild bite.
bite (person) critical
–Drink deeper still, leaving them critically wounded, for three times the life force.
bite (person) fatal
–Drain them utterly, which kills them, for five times the life force.
–You cannot give a severe, critical or fatal bite to someone the Understanding protects from you.
Humans are much better sources of life force than supernaturals, and virgins are better still, unless you were the last to bite them. Blood from someone you were the last to bite is weaker, and blood from someone who has recently had blood drained from them is weaker too. There are limits to how high your life force can be taken through biting, depending on the tier of the victim.
Bite locations
bite (person) neck
bite (person) thigh
bite (person) wrist
–A vampire can instead drink from one of three places on the body. This leaves no wound and gives you no life force straight away. Instead it adds to your blood bonus (see below), and the person you bit loses life force the next time they come back after at least four hours away.
–Each place can be bitten only once every three days. The three places are separate, so a bitten neck does not stop you drinking from the thigh or wrist.
–Once the person has been away for at least four hours and come back, a fresh bite mark shows on that spot when people look at them, as long as it is uncovered, until three days after the bite.
–If the neck is covered, you peel the covering back, but you get only half as much unless they are tied up. You cannot bite a covered thigh or a covered wrist.
–If someone has bitten them at another place since they were last away, they have to be tied up before they can be fed on again.
–Every place on them bitten in the last three days makes the blood thinner. If you were the last to bite them, their blood is weaker; if someone else was, it is stronger. The more attractive they are, the richer their blood. A virgin’s blood is worth double, unless you were the last to bite them. Someone who has described their taste with describe taste is worth half as much again. Tier one characters are worth half as much.
Blood bonus
–While your blood bonus is above zero, your hypnotism, stealth, strength and night vision each count one higher.
–Your blood bonus also raises your effective life force, by up to 10%.
–It drains away as you earn roleplay experience. A vampire who goes too long without feeding this way falls below zero, and then it lowers their effective life force instead, by up to 10%.
Wights
bite (person)
–A wight takes a bloody, messy bite out of a helpless victim, wounding them and staving off its own decay.
Effects of blood on vampires
Vampires can feed on supernaturals, but this blood is inevitably unusable for rituals due to an inherent taint. Supernatural blood, or human blood with a supernatural origin, has special effects on a vampire who drinks it.
–Angelborn: Feel more sensitive and humane.
–Demigod: Similar to cocaine. Feel fearless. Become prone to recklessness.
–Demonborn: Feel disassociated from human emotions or sensitivities.
–Faeborn: Similar to ecstasy. Become more prone to amorous activities.
–Werewolf: Feel more primal. Become likely to give in to baser impulses for sex and violence.
–Vampire: Drinking from another vampire hits you like vampire blood does (see help vampire blood).
Vampires and wights need to feed in order to maintain their health. While vampires are able to feed off NPCs through setting their habit, with the risk of possibly killing them, wights must feed off PCs.

–A vampire can instead drink from one of three places on the body. This leaves no wound and gives you no life force straight away. Instead it adds to your blood bonus (see below), and the person you bit loses life force the next time they come back after at least four hours away.
–Each place can be bitten only once every three days. The three places are separate, so a bitten neck does not stop you drinking from the thigh or wrist.
–Once the person has been away for at least four hours and come back, a fresh bite mark shows on that spot when people look at them, as long as it is uncovered, until three days after the bite.
–If the neck is covered, you peel the covering back, but you get only half as much unless they are tied up. You cannot bite a covered thigh or a covered wrist.
–If someone has bitten them at another place since they were last away, they have to be tied up before they can be fed on again.
–Every place on them bitten in the last three days makes the blood thinner. If you were the last to bite them, their blood is weaker; if someone else was, it is stronger. The more attractive they are, the richer their blood. A virgin’s blood is worth double, unless you were the last to bite them. Someone who has described their taste with describe taste is worth half as much again. Tier one characters are worth half as much.
Blood bonus
–While your blood bonus is above zero, your hypnotism, stealth, strength and night vision each count one higher.
–Your blood bonus also raises your effective life force, by up to 10%.
–It drains away as you earn roleplay experience. A vampire who goes too long without feeding this way falls below zero, and then it lowers their effective life force instead, by up to 10%.
Wights
bite (person)
–A wight takes a bloody, messy bite out of a helpless victim, wounding them and staving off its own decay.
Effects of blood on vampires
Vampires can feed on supernaturals, but this blood is inevitably unusable for rituals due to an inherent taint. Supernatural blood, or human blood with a supernatural origin, has special effects on a vampire who drinks it.
–Angelborn: Feel more sensitive and humane.
–Demigod: Similar to cocaine. Feel fearless. Become prone to recklessness.
–Demonborn: Feel disassociated from human emotions or sensitivities.
–Faeborn: Similar to ecstasy. Become more prone to amorous activities.
–Werewolf: Feel more primal. Become likely to give in to baser impulses for sex and violence.
–Vampire: Drinking from another vampire hits you like vampire blood does (see help vampire blood).

of the other accessible worlds.
District 82 – Hell
Lauriea – The Other
Rhagost – The Godrealms
Navorost – The Wilds

state whenever not contested or in open war. Establishing a
foothold in one of these territories will convey special advantages
as the controlling society exerts great influence on those wishing
to travel between that world and Earth.
The leader of any society who controls a border territory gains
a special fame line noting them as a border lord.
The society which controls the Wilds border territory gains an extra
$5, 000 resource in plunder per week.
The leader of the society which controls the Other is sent two potions
each month, drinking these potions grants the ability to use the invis
command to turn completely invisible whenever not in combat to other PCs.
The leader of the society which controls the Godrealms is sent two
potions each month, drinking these potions grants the immortality stat
as well as significant resistance to abduction owing to skin that is
very difficult to penetrate with a needle.
The leader of the society which controls Hell is sent two potions each
month, drinking these potions grants the hellfire discipline. A 100 range
sorcerous discipline.
Potions are always sent out on the first of each month, the effects last
for 14 days after they are taken.

Brainwash
Brainwashing can only be done in a brainwashing facility. A target must be
helpless and without Sanctuary protection in order for brainwashing to proceed. The
brainwashing cooldown lasts one month. One brainwashing procedure can only be done at
a time.
Brainwashing reversals have a slim chance to happen automatically once a day for all
characters who maintain life force at or near 100%. These types of reversals do
not affect implants.
Brainwash types neutralizer and implant require medicine 2 to perform.
Syntax: brainwash implant (target)
This command installs a remote-controlled device in the target’s head, producing
a controller and causing a severe injury.
Syntax: control incapacitate
When in possession of a controller, this command renders your implanted target
unconscious.
Syntax: trash controller
Destroy a controller, rendering an implant inert.
Syntax: brainwash neutralizer (target)
This command installs a neutralizer device inside a target, nullifying all
supernatural abilities. Implanting this device causes a severe injury.
Syntax: brainwash extraction (target)
This command can be used to try to remove a neutralizing implant. Removal attempts
can only be attempted on healthy targets and cause severe injury. Chance of success
for removal is very low, and it is typical for this procedure to take several attempts
before it is successful. The engineering and medicine stats improve chance of success.
Syntax: brainwash loyalty (target) (person or society name)
This brainwashes a target to be loyal to the specified party. The target will
receive regular imprints about needing to be loyal to said party.
Syntax: control surrender (target)

the target to tie themselves up.
Syntax: brainwash pacifist (target)
This brainwashes a target against violence. The rationalization is their own, but they
cannot attack anyone codedly while under this type of brainwashing.
Syntax: brainwash cleanse (target)
This removes all the bad memories from the target party, whether they were the victim
or perpetrator of such events. It also removes the memory of any desire to commit
bad or evil deeds. They are otherwise left unaffected, but this type of brainwashing
may be enough to redeem a previously bad person.
Syntax: brainwash reidentity (target) (new identity)
This causes a target to believe they are the identity specified. Detail about these
identities should be specified in emotes or messages if needed.
Syntax: brainwash reversal (target)
This type of procedure reverses all non-implant brainwashing procedures, restoring
a character to their original mindset. It also reverses memory suppression and
false memories derived from alchemically created potions. This does not remove
explosive or neutralizer implants. Nor does it remove imprints.

Branding
Levels: 0, 2
Requirements: Tier 3
Syntax: Brand (person) (location) (message)
Example: Brand John neck a flaming skull
Appearance: He has a symbol of a flaming skull on his neck.
Branding is the go to method of choice for more powerful supernaturals to
keep control over less powerful beings and devoted humans. The power
conveys an ability to press their hand against someone’s exposed skin and
leave a permanent mark of their symbol there which will appear as ‘He/She
has a symbol of (message) on his/her (location)’
It costs the user some amount of life force, generally around 20% for
branding someone of equal power level to yourself.
There is a cooldown of several weeks between branding people.
When a victim is branded any compulsions, body compulsions, triggered
instructions or triggered body instructions will become sealed in and will
never fade until the brand is removed. Triggered instructions that are
sealed will fade when satiated, but will simply return again once the
trigger occurs once more.
Syntax: Brand phantom (target) (sensation)
This command uses the brand link to send a message to someone you have
branded that will appear as ‘You feel the sensation of (message). ‘ Useful
as a easy access tool for disciplining your property.
Syntax: Brand incapacitate (target)
This command sends a surge of pain along the brand link to render your
target temporarily insensible in order to easily recapture property that’s
trying to flee.
Syntax: Brand listen/brand listen stop
For about 0. 1% of your life force this command allows you to enter a
state in which you can hear everything any one of your branded can hear.
Useful for checking on your property to ensure loyalty.
Syntax: Brand watch/brand watch stop
For the truly paranoid human owner, for 2. 5% of your life force you can
enter an even deeper state of obvservation where you also see what they are
doing.
Syntax: Brand remove(target)
Performed in a magical workshop this command allows someone to be
released from a mystical branding. It costs $15, 000 in resources if done
immediately, but the longer the person has had the brand the further the
cost reduces, down to a minimum of $500 at a rate of $10 per
hour, logged in or out.

Breakin
Syntax: breakin (direction)
This command can be used to force entry into a property by breaking down a door
or wall in the direction specified. It uses your demolitions or strength score
to challenge the household toughness rating of the room you are currently
trying to break into.

Wound will let you inflict a certain level of wound on your target, you can
also add a message that will appear when people look at them until that
wound has healed.

Cardinal Guests
Cardinals are a blanket term supernatural and anti-supernatural society use to describe beings capable of sin magic. Sin magic casters come from all walks of life; there have been even humans throughout the years capable of sin magic, though most the time it’s supernaturals, especially those who’ve developed hypernatural abilities.
There are several ways Cardinals are made. Some get their hands on powerful magicks and become Cardinals through sheer study. Others have sin spirits, called Maleficarum and their opposite, Justiciarum, bound to them. Still others are possessed by these sin spirits. Maleficarum were created by demons during the rise of Christianity, utilizing sin magic and teaching their followers so that they’d be better able to affect the world outside Hell. How Justiciarum came to be is still a mystery, as their sole goal seem to be helping people get over their sins, ultimately protecting them from Cardinals they’re vulnerable to.
There is a signficant amount of Maleficarum compared to Justiciarum. This is mostly due to various purges and collaboration between more corrupt Cardinals in an effort to ensure they remain mostly unopposed and have many vulnerable targets.
Whatever their origins, Cardinals have many different powers. Their most common is the ability to read the minds and memories of those vulnerable to them, as well as various psychic abilities that allow them to easily alter the minds of others. Some Cardinals have control over the weather, and in Haven especially, the mists and shadows. Others seem to be able to control animals, though rarely more than one kind. Incidentally, the vulnerability a person has to a Cardinal works both ways — most individuals cannot significantly hurt Cardinals unless they are also vulnerable to them.
Code Considerations: Cardinals are allowed to make societies without having to wait until the 20th of the month. However, Cardinals themselves cannot attend any operations but the psychic ones that target them specifically. Cardinals are not counted towards the villainy system, as they already have enhanced life force. As Cardinals are a guest type only staff can play, when a character turns story off, Cardinals cannot enter any scene with that character. Characters with story off who enter scenes with Cardinals in them can interact with Cardinals, but as long as they follow the rules in help story death, cannot be affected by the Cardinal in any meaningful way.
Psychic Operations: When signing up for a psychic operation, you can sign up to defend the Cardinal or attack the Cardinal. Those who defend the Cardinal will fight alongside a pool of minions who will rush the attacking team. If the operation is successful, the Cardinal falls into a coma for a minimum of six weeks, though this period is often extended as another Cardinal replaces them or the Cardinal is killed while in a coma. Any societies the Cardinal controls are destroyed. If the operation fails, another can’t be launched for roughly a week and the Cardinal loses half their minions the next assault.

Climb
Climbing
You climb in the direction you are facing, which is the direction you last moved in.
climb
–Climb the outside wall of a building. You must be outdoors, with open air above you, and facing a wall. The game looks up that wall, as far as ten floors, for the first place at that height you could get into from outside: an open window, a balcony, a gap in the wall, a roof. If there is one, you climb up to it. If there is nothing to climb up to, you climb down instead if you can.
climb down
–Face an open edge with a drop beyond it, such as the edge of a roof, and you climb out over the edge and down to the first solid ground below. A floor or roof in the way stops you.
Climbing takes about seven seconds a floor going up and five going down. People in the rooms you pass through see you climb by, and the room you start from sees you begin.
What climbing ends
Starting a climb brings you out of hiding, and ends shadowing and any hostile or nightmare hostile stance you hold.
When you cannot climb
–While fighting, in a fist fight, pinned or helpless.
–Unless you are standing.
–As a prisoner, or while something is stopping you from moving.
–While you are already travelling, climbing or jumping.
–As a ghost.
–While a patrol encounter has not yet let you go.
Falling
Every floor you climb up past, there is a chance you lose your grip. It is 10% for each floor you are above where you started, less a bonus from your Strength, Dexterity, Stamina and Acrobatics, and never below 5%. The bonus is the total of those four stats times four, or that total squared, whichever is larger: a total of 3 takes off 12 points, a total of 5 takes off 25, and a total of 10 takes off 100. Climbing down is far safer: you only rarely slip at all.
If you slip, you fall straight down. Landing in deep water does you no harm; shallow water does not help. Anywhere else, a fall after climbing four or more floors leaves you mildly injured, and eight or more leaves you severely injured. The undead and the angelborn are only ever mildly injured by such a fall.
Inside a property under siege, climbing works differently: see help noctilith sieges.

Clothing
Clothing and jewelry are item types that can be customized and worn. Some
bag items can also be worn. The outfit system can be used to create
and change into full outfits easily.
These items can be found at various shops, including in the newbie area
and Narnia.
Clothing, jewelry and all customized items should be set as close to their
real life counterparts as possible. Clothing that is too cheap is likely
to be treated as such in game by other characters, particularly high-end
brands, which will likely be treated as knockoffs.
Layering:
Clothing, jewelry, bag and armor items can all be set to a specific layer.
Layers range from 0-5. 5 represents the outermost layer, 1 represents the
innermost layer, and 0 will put the object on whatever layer it can fit on
when worn.
Clothing and armor will cover whatever body parts they are set to cover,
as well as hiding any clothing in an inner layer that covers the same spots.
Inner layers can be exposed or hidden with the zip command if any spots
are set for the outer layer.
Jewelry will never cover body parts or inner layers. However, it can be
hidden by outer layers of clothing, provided it has a cover spot set. For
example, a common piece of jewelry is a ring, which is usually worn on the
hands. If set to cover hands, a clothing item such as a pair of gloves will
hide the ring when the gloves are worn, provided it is set on an outer layer.
A maximum of 10 items can be worn per layer. See help wearing clothing
for how the layers are displayed.
Cleaning:
Syntax: clean (item)
Cost: $10
Clothing and jewelry that has gotten dirty can be cleaned with the clean
command for $10 per item, or will clean themselves in a stash while your
character is online, though this method is slower.
Outfitproof:
Syntax: outfitproof (item)
Cost: $0
An outfitproof item will never be automatically stashed with the outfit
commands. However, if not saved in an existing outfit, the item will be
removed and put in the inventory when your character changes. This is useful
for things like wedding rings.
Waterproof:
Syntax: waterproof (item)
Cost: $20
Certain items will become see-through when wet, namely items which have the
keywords sheer, white, ivory, etc. Waterproofing these items will prevent this
from happening in the future.

Combat explained
There are two types of combat in Haven; fast combat and emote combat.
Fast combat is what is normally used when NPCs are involved in the fight,
such as typically when leveling up in the forest. During fast combat you
can attack and/or move every 12 seconds, each one being on a separate timer.
Attacks are normally made with either a default message, or with a custom
pre-written message.
Emote combat is normally used when PCs are fighting each other. During
emote combat characters take it in turns to pick where they want to move and
how they want to attack, they then write an emote, when the emote is
finished and sent the relevant attacks and moves are performed. Emote
combat is started by a player typing ‘attack’ by itself.
Both combat types use the exact same values and calculations. Disciplines
are used primarily for combat and are improved with experience gained by
using them. There are three types of discipline, ranged, melee and
defensive. Ranged disciplines all have different ranges, and will do
maximum damage at half that range, dropping off to 0 at above max range and
0 at melee range. Melee disciplines always do max damage if at melee range,
but otherwise can’t hit.
Each Discipline does its value in damage ordinarily, unless affected by
range or other affects. Defensive disciplines provide 5 times their value
in defense.
Once all your defense is gone, attacks will cause you to suffer wounds,
wounds can take a long time to heal and if severe enough might cause you to
die without hospital care.
Characters can move a base of 10 per turn in any direction, they can also
charge directly at someone, doubling how far they can move.
The most basic way to attack is simply attack (target), picking a default
discipline, or attack (target) (discipline) to choose your own discipline,
lastly attack (target) (customname) to use a custom attack.
To move you simply type move (person) away/charge/(distance as a number to
move towards them). You can also use move (xcoord) (ycoord), move flee or
the cardinal direction commands.
Custom attacks can be set up with the ‘make attack‘ command, and have a
name, discipline, a string for how they look like as well as an optional
special flag. Special flags allow you to attach effects to attacks.
You can also type map to see a visual representation of the battlefield.

Combat Focus
There are three main focus paths: the arcane tree (minions, rituals, mancing); the combat tree (melee and ranged combat); and the professional tree (wealth, contacts, and social/job skills). Each focus tree has its own set of foci within it. Every point spent in one of these trees, regardless of whether or not it’s on the same focus, unlocks greater potential for development in terms of stats and occasionally powers. When points are spent on the same focus, you develop additional abilities related to that focus line. The following are the unlocked abilities for the combat tree:
[Combat One]:
Melee Attack 2: Increases melee damage.
Melee Defense 2: Decreases melee damage taken.
Ranged Attack 2: Increases ranged damage.
Ranged Defense 2: Decreases ranged damage taken.
Stamina 3: Increases stagger recovery rate in combat.
Strength 2, 3: Determines inventory limit and influences both social and active combat.
[Combat Two]:
None.
[Combat Three]:
Melee Attack 3: Increases melee damage.
Melee Defense 3: Decreases melee damage taken.
Ranged Attack 3: Increases ranged damage.
Ranged Defense 3: Decreases ranged damage taken.
[Combat Four]:
Giant Slayer: Halves penalty for fighting characters with more combat focus investment.
Melee Attack 4: Increases melee damage.
Melee Defense 4: Decreases melee damage taken.
Ranged Attack 4: Increases ranged damage.
Ranged Defense 4: Decreases ranged damage taken.

compete
Syntax: compete against (person) with (stat) and (stat) and (stat)
This command allows you to test your stats against someone else?s, up to
three at a time.
For instance if you wished to arm wrestle with someone, compete against (person)
with strength
Would test your strength against theirs, or for a game of darts you might
enter compete against (person) with games and dexterity
On completion of the command it will send an echo to the room of who won.
Normally the winner will always be the person with the highest stat total,
if the stat totals are equal it will be a fifty/fifty chance. However
this may change based on the inclusion of certain stats.
Currently games is the only stat which deviates from this, when adding
games as one of the stats tested it will always introduce an element of
randomness to the calculation while still significantly favoring the
person with higher stats.
For each 1 point below the other person you are in a game calculation, your
chance of winning will lower by a multiplicative 20%. So if stat levels
are the same you’ll have 50% chance, if you’re one lower 40%, if 2 lower
32% etc.
As optional syntax you can also drop the ‘against’ and simply type compete

Conflicting Loyalties
Conflicting loyalties is part of the world of Haven by design. There’s little story to be had from a group of characters who are all on the same page and never disagree, but if those disagreements are caused by someone wanting to play wildly off-lore or just wanting to snowflake to the maximum this isn’t fun for anyone else. Disagreements among allies due to legitimate philosophical differences or conflicting loyalties however provide a rich source of story which isn’t about putting one player over another or having a winner or loser.
These conflicting loyalties can come from many places, your character’s friendships, relationships, or family might conflict with their organization or they might be part of two organizations which often don’t see eye to eye or even are overt enemies.
There will never be a one-size fits all solution to these conflicts as every one is likely to be unique. It could be a generally virtuous individual joining a corrupt but pro-environment society because of their staunch environmentalism and willingness to overlook the bad parts of that group because of it, it could be an individual sentenced in an Order trial to serve the Order for a year even though they’d rather not, or someone blackmailed into working for a corrupt group.
Every situation is going to be different as to why the character has a conflicting loyalty and what it means for how trustworthy or suspicious they are likely to be considered or treated.
Characters with conflicting loyalties are obligated to find ways to RP them in line with good RP practices. It would be nothing but irritation for a corrupt individual to join the Order out of a temporary oath only to do nothing useful for the Order and complain constantly on comms about hating them for example. Similarly those interacting with characters with conflicting loyalties are obligated to find ways to RP with them in line with good RP practices. It would be very appropriate to treat an individual only working for your organization because of an oath or blackmail or a particular shared goal with a great deal more suspicion for instance, it would be overtly terrible to ban them from society activities or lock them out of RP or try and force them to give up the source of the conflict however.

Contact Jobs
Muscle
-Every contact assigned to this job will provide you with an ally to use in
combat. Use make ally to configure your ally, then use an attack with the
asummon special to make them arrive in combat. Allies usually take 4 rounds
to show up. You can use command allies attack/follow/atwill (target) to
command them in fights. Allies do less damage if the person who summoned
them has used their attack that round. The power of allies is determined by
the average score of all contacts assigned to the muscle job. Each ally has
60k experience, times the number of skillpoints invested into the muscle
contact in experience to spend. So 60k at rank 1, 180k at rank 2 and 900,
000 at rank 5. When an ally is defeated in combat they become injured and
the contact is unable to be used again for about three days.
It takes 20 minutes after a fight for your allies to refresh.

Content Warnings
Content warnings
Content warnings let you say which kinds of content you are OK with, and let everyone in a scene see what the whole group has agreed to. Setting a category to enabled means you are OK with that content. Leaving it disabled means you are not. If you have never set anything, every category counts as disabled.
Setting your preferences
makeroom warnings
–Open the editor for your default preferences. These apply to anyone you have not set something specific for.
makeroom warnings (name)
–Open the editor for your preferences towards one particular character. These take the place of your default whenever that character is involved.
Inside the editor:
(category name)
–Toggle that category between enabled and disabled. The first few letters of the name are enough.
duration
–Switch between keeping these settings until you log out and keeping them permanently. New settings last until you log out unless you switch this. Permanent settings you have not saved again for six months are cleared.
target (name)
–Switch to editing your preferences towards another character, or target on its own for your default. Unsaved toggles are lost when you switch.
done
–Save your changes. If a group warning is already active in your room, everyone there is told you have updated your preferences.
abort
–Leave without saving.
The categories
–Sex/Nudity: exposed genitals or common, consensual sex acts. Not incidental or accidental nudity.
–Immoral Sex: sex acts that are lower-level criminal offences, such as nonconsensual touching, or that people might find morally objectionable, such as large age gaps, questionably obtained consent, or sex with an employer.
–Illegal Sex: severe sexual violations and forcible sexual assault.
–Sexualized Insults: verbal attacks on someone’s sexual behaviour, worth or gender validity.
–Addiction/Self-Harm: harmful use of drugs or other addictive substances, other forms of self-harm, and suicide.
–Harming Animals: killing pets, torturing animals, or animals in pain or distress.
–Harming Children: crimes against or other poor treatment of children.
–Nauseating: bodily fluids, vomiting on someone, spoilt food, bad smells and the like.
–Body Horror: mutilation, medical procedures and other disturbing physical transformations or modifications.
–Degradation: seriously demeaning or degrading treatment meant to attack someone’s pride or dignity.
–Intolerance: claiming that some real-world groups are inferior to others, and the use of slurs.
How a group’s warnings are worked out
Whenever two or more players are in the same room, the game works out what everyone there has allowed everyone else. A category only appears if every person in the room allows it towards every other person, using each person’s preferences for that particular character where they have set them, and their default otherwise. Staff do not count towards the group.
A new group’s warnings take effect ten minutes after it forms. Once they do, everyone present sees a Content Warnings: line, and sees it again whenever the list changes: when someone arrives or leaves, or when someone saves new preferences. If an active group moves to another room together, or comes back together within five minutes, its warnings carry over without a new wait.
What you see
look
–With two or more players in the room, the room shows the current Content Warnings: line, or how many minutes remain before the group’s warnings take effect. It lists the allowed categories, All if every category is allowed, or None.
finger (name)
–Shows an Allow line: what you and that person allowed each other the last time the two of you were alone together long enough for warnings to take effect, less anything either of you has withdrawn since.
Warnings do not apply in out-of-character areas or battlegrounds, and a room the game counts as crowded always shows None. Records of groups that have not been together for two weeks are cleared.
Content warnings let you say which kinds of content you are OK with, and let everyone in a scene see what the whole group has agreed to. Setting a category to enabled means you are OK with that content. Leaving it disabled means you are not. If you have never set anything, every category counts as disabled.
Setting your preferences
makeroom warnings
–Open the editor for your default preferences. These apply to anyone you have not set something specific for.
makeroom warnings (name)
–Open the editor for your preferences towards one particular character. These take the place of your default whenever that character is involved.
Inside the editor:
(category name)
–Toggle that category between enabled and disabled. The first few letters of the name are enough.
duration
–Switch between keeping these settings until you log out and keeping them permanently. New settings last until you log out unless you switch this. Permanent settings you have not saved again for six months are cleared.
target (name)
–Switch to editing your preferences towards another character, or target on its own for your default. Unsaved toggles are lost when you switch.
done
–Save your changes. If a group warning is already active in your room, everyone there is told you have updated your preferences.
abort
–Leave without saving.
The categories
–Sex/Nudity: exposed genitals or common, consensual sex acts. Not incidental or accidental nudity.
–Immoral Sex: sex acts that are lower-level criminal offences, such as nonconsensual touching, or that people might find morally objectionable, such as large age gaps, questionably obtained consent, or sex with an employer.
–Illegal Sex: severe sexual violations and forcible sexual assault.
–Sexualized Insults: verbal attacks on someone’s sexual behaviour, worth or gender validity.
–Addiction/Self-Harm: harmful use of drugs or other addictive substances, other forms of self-harm, and suicide.
–Harming Animals: killing pets, torturing animals, or animals in pain or distress.
–Harming Children: crimes against or other poor treatment of children.
–Nauseating: bodily fluids, vomiting on someone, spoilt food, bad smells and the like.
–Body Horror: mutilation, medical procedures and other disturbing physical transformations or modifications.
–Degradation: seriously demeaning or degrading treatment meant to attack someone’s pride or dignity.
–Intolerance: claiming that some real-world groups are inferior to others, and the use of slurs.
How a group’s warnings are worked out
Whenever two or more players are in the same room, the game works out what everyone there has allowed everyone else. A category only appears if every person in the room allows it towards every other person, using each person’s preferences for that particular character where they have set them, and their default otherwise. Staff do not count towards the group.
A new group’s warnings take effect ten minutes after it forms. Once they do, everyone present sees a Content Warnings: line, and sees it again whenever the list changes: when someone arrives or leaves, or when someone saves new preferences. If an active group moves to another room together, or comes back together within five minutes, its warnings carry over without a new wait.
What you see
look
–With two or more players in the room, the room shows the current Content Warnings: line, or how many minutes remain before the group’s warnings take effect. It lists the allowed categories, All if every category is allowed, or None.

Crisis
Crises are coded events that Story Runners can use to affect the entire

-This starts an invasion, up to three invasions can be run at once, pick the
number by 1-3, the (number) is the monster number you want to use for the
invasion, see help monsters for information on setting those up. If you’re
on the grid when you use this command, the monsters will spawn from where
you’re standing, if not they’ll spawn from the edges of town. Invasion mobs
will not aggro civilians, but rather will force them to flee on sight.
Crisis invade over (1-3)
-Bring a stop to an invasion.

So for example if you wanted to do RP based around a catastrophic bridge
being opened between our world and the elemental plane of fire, you could
start off with a broadcast about flames and smoke, then set the atmosphere
to be heavy with smoke and flicking flames. Perhaps you could then make
smaller fire elementals start to invade the town from within the nightmare,
then set the town to darkness as the smoke obscures the sun. As the bridge
grows stronger and more severe you could add a constantdamage with a message
like “You are burnt by burning ash”, and raise the town’s temperature. Then
some of the elementals might start coming out of the nightmare and into the
town proper, and you could add an erratic damage with a message like. “A
giant fireball crashes into the ground beside you, sending you flying.”
This is obviously a severe example, but should give an idea of the sorts of
things you can do with the code.

fields:
Name: The name given to the custom attack will be the command used. For
example. If the name is stab, the syntax in combat will be: stab (target).
Discipline: The discipline specifies which discipline the custom attack uses.
Special: Special refers to any special effects added. See Also: Special List.
Myself: The message displayed to you when the attack is used.
Target: The message displayed to the target when the attack is used.
Bystanders: The message displayed to everyone else when the attack is used.

Will list the name, disc and special effects for saved custom attacks.
Syntax: myattacks info (custom name)
Will show information about the created custom attack.
Syntax: myattacks delete (custom name)
Will delete an already made custom attack.
In addition, you can change parts of an already created attack individually

myattacks myself (name) (message)
myattacks target (name) (message)
myattacks bystanders (name) (message)

$M – target’s him/her $m – your him/her.
$S – target’s his/hers $s – your his/her.
$E – target’s he/she $e – your he/she
In fast combat, your attacks will always have their effect added to the
end, such as ‘mildly wounds him’ or ‘deflects off her armor’. So it is good
to leave the end open-ended when writing the way it looks for the sections
of myself, target, bystanders, etc, by using words like this, that, which,
‘the attack’, etc.

in any store that sells the type of object being customized.
Syntax: customize (object)
Enters the object editor.
Syntax: customize (object) (field) (value)
Possible fields are: cover, zips, shortstring, longstring, names, wear,
description, extra, layer, symbol, cost, badge, large, focus, angeliccollar,
relic, playlist. Symbol, badge, large, focus, angeliccollar, relic, and
playlist take no values.
An explaination of fields follows:
Cover: Toggles cover location. A cover location is any area which the object
should normally cover when worn.
Zips: Toggles zipes location. A zips location is any area which is revealed
when the zip command is used.
Shortstring: Sets the phrase used to describe an object is manipulated such as
with the wear, remove, drop, or get commands. This is also the string used
for the stash command as well.
Longstring: Sets the phrase used to describe an object when it is seen on a
character, in a room, or in an inventory.
Names: Sets the keywords used to interact with the object. Each space in a
names value will indicate the start of a new keyword.

it is worn.
Symbol: Attaches the symbol of the character’s society to the object. Wearing
an object with a symbol allows a character to earn respect while he is role
playing. This also allows the sheriff’s department to create items with their
symbol on it. All symbols can be used to access the goblin market. A type of
symbol that identifies an item as a goblin key can be created by characters
without a society and with occult knowledge 1 or greater. These keys allow
access to the goblin market, but confer no additional symbol benefits.
Cost: Sets the objects cost. An objects cost can only increase from what it is
currently set to.
Large: Makes the object a large object. Large objects require the lift command
to move.
Focus: Designates the object as a magical focus.

ddesc
Dynamic descriptions
A dynamic description, or ddesc, is an extra piece of description that you write yourself and switch on and off as your look changes: a fresh bruise, a new tattoo, a hairstyle, a scent you are trying out. You can keep up to 100 of them. While one is active, it shows when people look at you, straight after your normal description for that part of your body. Parts of your body appear in the order you set with describe order.
Commands
ddesc create (keyword) (location)
–Make a new ddesc and open the editor to write it (see help editing). The keyword is the one word you use for it in the other commands. A new ddesc starts active. Give each one its own keyword, because the other commands act on the first ddesc they find with that keyword.
ddesc edit (keyword)
–Open the editor to rewrite a ddesc.
ddesc activate (keyword) or ddesc a (keyword)
–Switch a ddesc on.
ddesc deactivate (keyword) or ddesc d (keyword)
–Switch a ddesc off. You keep it, ready to use again later.
ddesc delete (keyword)
–Delete a ddesc for good.
ddesc list
–List your ddescs, with where each one goes and whether it is active.
ddesc search (word)
–Show the full text of every ddesc that contains that word.
When you switch a ddesc on or off, you see your appearance change, and so does everyone in the room who could see that ddesc (see below). The message quotes its text.
While you are desclocked, you can list and search your ddescs but not create, edit, delete, activate or deactivate them.
Locations
–Body: hands, lowerarms, upperarms, feet, lowerlegs (or calves), forehead, thighs, groin, buttocks (or arse, ass, rear), lowerback, upperback, lowerchest, breasts, upperchest, neck, lowerface, hair, eyes.
–self (or everywhere): about you as a whole. It shows next to your general description.
–smell: how you smell to a keen nose.
–lightmakeup (or makeup), mediummakeup, heavymakeup: shown at the end of your description, but only while you are wearing that level of makeup. You can leave them active and they appear when you put that makeup on.
–scent: a perfume or scent you are wearing, shown at the end of your description.
–hairstyle: a short phrase such as “long silver braids”. It is not added to your description: it replaces your hair colour wherever your hair is described.
What people see
–A ddesc on a part of your body is hidden while clothing covers that part, just like your normal description for it. A bath or deep water hides everything from the chest down.
–A self ddesc always shows.
–A smell ddesc is only noticed by people in the room with you who have a keen nose, the same as your describe smell text.
–A scent ddesc is noticed by people in the room with a keen nose, or standing right beside you.
–A hairstyle is hidden while your hair is covered.
–You always see your own.

Decorate extradelete (keyword)
Deletes an extra description. Be careful using a keyword that is in use by multiple extras, if more than one is present.

Demigod Lore
A demigod refers to anybody with divine ancestry. Demigods usually
inherit some small degree of the perfection of their parents, they tend to
be more attractive, more physically capable, more resistant to disease and
injury, to heal quicker and age more slowly. They often also tend to have a
psychological pre-disposition towards their god’s aspects, the descendant of
a thunder god for instance may enjoy being out in storms.
Demigods also may be favored by their divine parent, who might take it upon
themselves to aid in their life or set them to tasks they wish to see
accomplished. They however possess no real supernatural abilities beyond
their innate remarkableness.
In ancient times to be taken as a god’s lover was a great privilege and the
gods bestowed a gift upon those they slept with, imbuing them with health
and longevity. Some degree of this persists in their children. After
having sex with a demigod a person will heal more rapidly for about two
days, as well as not aging or becoming sick in that period. While this can
be a great gift from a demigod lover to their lover or spouse and even has
led to some demigod couples being effectively immortal rumors persist of
those who pay highly for captured demigods to use them forcibly in order to
stay young forever.
Today demigod genes are erratic like other supernatural genes. Usually
activating only once every three of four generations. The chances of any of
your direct family also being an active demigod is astronomically small, but
it possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to be. There’s also a
decent chance that twins, both fraternal and identical will share the trait
if one has it.
Demigods much like Faeborn, Angelborn, and Demonborn can be either latent,
passive or active.
Latents are effectively entirely human, but there is a chance that at some
point in their adult lift the latent genes will activate and they will
become either active or passive. Passives are mostly human but they have
some degree of the resistance to disease and aging and tend to be more
attractive and capable. They also have the effects of prolonging the life
of their sexual partners.
Actives are passives until around the end of puberty, usually seventeen to
nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate later in life,
although this is very rare in people not living near the Gate. As well as
the effects of passive demigods actives also gain other amazing supernatural
powers.

Demonborn Lore
Also Read: Help Demonborn Mechanics
The demonborn are a disparate group, while some are indeed the descendants
of human and demon couplings these are very rare, far more common are humans
who were affected by demonic forces while still in the womb. The result is
basically the same however, a human who is in some small part demon. The
demonborn tend to be physically stronger and hardier than most humans, also
with a much higher tolerance for heat. Many find themselves drawn to and
interested in fire as well. The demonborn are also infected with the innate
demonic sadism. They derive physical pleasure from the pain, discomfort or
unhappiness of others. While this isn’t enough to make all of them turn
into psychopaths it does turn a lot and others tend to settle into some
lifestyle or profession that allows them to get their fix. They are
commonly found as dominatrixes or in pain oriented kinky relationships, or
in professions such as soldiers, police, criminals, or professional
fighters.
The blood of the demonborn is a potent mystical chemical accelerant. It
will augment any natural chemical reaction such as those of explosives. A
drop of blood into the gunpowder of a bullet can double its penetrative
power, while a glass of it can make any bomb much more deadly.
Today demonborn genes are erratic like other supernatural genes. Usually
activating only once every three of four generations. The chances of any of
your direct family also being active demonborn is astronomically small, but
it possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to be. There’s also a
decent chance that twins, both fraternal and identical will share the trait
if one has it.
Demonborn much like faeborn and angelborn can be either latent, passive or
active.
Latents are effectively entirely human, but there is a chance that at some
point in their adult lift the latent genes will activate and they will
become either active or passive.
Passive demonborns are mostly human but then tend to be a bit stronger and
hardier than most, have more tolerance for hot temperatures as well as
possessing the innate demonic sadism and the properties of their blood.
Active demonborns are passives until around the end of puberty, usually
seventeen to nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate
later in life, although this is very rare in people not living near the
Gate. As well as the effects of passive demonborns actives also gain other
supernatural powers.
Note: Demonborns are physically entirely human in appearance.

Demons
Demons are biological weapons, fashioned a long time ago by wizards in an
attempt to win a war. They now run that world, which is called hell. There
are billions of demons in hell and more are regularly being made. Hell is
run by a group of archdemons, believed to be about twelve. These are
unbelievably powerful sorcerer demons and are responsible for running hell
as well as creating most of the other types of demons.
Several of the upper echelons of demons, including archdemons, can influence
earth, they have the ability to reach their magic across to affect things.
They use this power to make things worse where they can and often to improve
the life of those who agree to do their bidding on earth.
When they were first created demons were given a vulnerability to quartz in
order to make controlling them easier. While this ultimately failed they
and their decendants still have this weakness today. Even powerful demons
may be incapacitated by a quartz stake through the chest and demonborn all
become weakened when struck by quartz weapons.

DescLock
Syntax: Desklock (target)
Desklock (target) longterm
This command can only be used on unconscious or bound victims, it renders
them unable to change their own description for some time afterwards.

If used with the longterm argument it lasts much longer, about six weeks.
Using this version of the command, however, is a violation to Sanctuary.

describe
Syntax is :describe <location>
Valid locations: self, lowerarms, upperarms, feet, lowerlegs, thighs,
groin, arse, lowerback, upperback, lowerchest, breasts, upperchest, neck,
hands, lowerface, forehead, hair, eyes, smell, taste, wolf
wolfchangeto, wolfchangefrom, merchangeto, merchangefrom, radioaction,
makeuplight, makeupmedium, makeupheavy
Used to describe your character.
Alt Syntax: describe replace/append (location) (new string)
This syntax allows someone to easily on the fly replace part of their
description or append to part of it. It will keep all formatting
around the original description intact, such as the number for it’s order and
any spaces or empty lines after it.
Taste is determined by your archetype automatically, though you may add extra
information which would primarily be impacted by your character’s dietary, drug,
and alcohol habits.
Radioaction is echoed to the room whenever you use a command such as fsay.
So for example, “$n lifts $s sleeve and speaks into the cuff.” would echo
“Jane lifts her sleeve and speaks into the cuff”.

So for example, “$n lifts $s sleeve and speaks into the cuff.” would echo
“Jane lifts her sleeve and speaks into the cuff”.

Descriptions
How your character looks is entirely up to you.
The intro command sets the string people see you as before they have you
remembered, for example. A tall man with black hair and blue eyes. When
writing an intro it is a good idea to be a little distinctive with it, also
to avoid judgments or personality characteristics.
When used in another form such as wolf or wolfman it sets the intro for that
form.
The describe command is used to set what people see when they look at your
character with the look command.
Syntax: describe <location> Valid locations: self, hands, lowerarms,
upperarms, feet, lowerlegs, thighs, groin, arse, lowerback, upperback,
lowerchest, breasts, upperchest, neck, lowerface, forehead, hair, eyes,
smell, taste, wolf, wolfman, animal.
Syntax: describe order <location> number
This syntax allows you to set the order in which your described
elements appear.
Descs are displayed together without spaces or new lines unless you enter
them, individual parts of the desc will disappear when that part of your
body is concealed. You should not use . F when making a description, nor
insert line breaks unless you’re sure you want them. Descriptions will wrap
automatically.
You can also use the detail command to add more information to your
character only seen when you look at or are shown certain bodyparts.
See help detail for more information.
You can use the change command with eyecolor, haircolor or hairdye
to set your character’s genetic eye and hair color, as well as the
color of dye they’re using.
You can use describe file to make notes on your character other members of
your society can look up, and describe classified to make notes on your
character leaders of your society can look up.

Desire
This command allows a player to project his or her character’s desires. If the target is one that’s sensitive to desires, such as angelborn characters, he or she will feel an urge to fulfill that desire. However, this wish to fulfill the desire is usually less strong than the originator’s desire to have it fulfilled. Characters other than angelborn may become sensitive to desires, such as natural humans during a domination scheme. As a general rule, most desires should begin with a verb in order to display correctly.
Syntax: desire (degree) (desire) Or desire (person) (degree) (desire)
Valid degrees are: mild, moderate, or strong.
Example: Steve types, “desire moderate demonstrate proper use of the desire syntax“
Result: “You slightly want to help Steve fulfil his desire to demonstrate proper use of the desire syntax.”
Note that a period is automatically appended for you; adding one yourself will result in a double period.
You can use wdesire to use a desire and wish command simultaneously.

Dice Rolling Policy
Dice Rolling Policy
Haven does not let players settle IC actions, or whether they succeed, with dice of their own. Between players, the compete system combined with player judgment is favored. The responsibility for the direction a story takes is with the players involved and not random chance.
Storyrunner rolls
The one sanctioned use of dice for IC outcomes is a roll a storyrunner sets. When the storyrunner running a scene wants chance to decide how something turns out, they call for a roll: the player says what they are attempting and with which stats using try, others may help with assist, the storyrunner sets the difficulty with rollchallenge, and the player types roll. A storyrunner can ask for a roll with calltry.
–A roll only happens with a storyrunner in the room, and only the storyrunner sets the challenge.
–The storyrunner decides whether something needs a roll at all. Most things in a scene still come down to the players’ own judgment.
Dreamworlds
Dreamworlds are an exception where dice were implemented to accommodate stat and game systems of the designer’s imagination. This was done to make dreamworlds easier to create since many players are most familiar with games that utilize dice rolling.

diminish accept
diminish round (1-99)
diminish longterm (1-99) (hours) visible/invisible/combatvisible
This command allows people to low their damage when fighting PCs to the
selected percentage. Using dimish 50 for instance will make you do half
damage. It has no echo to others, diminish 0 or diminish 100 will clear it
as will logging off for a while. Using the command by itself shows what
you’re currently set at.
This allows players to represent their characters being weaker for any RP
reason, or pulling their punches/faking weakness.
An alternate syntax allows you to offer someone a diminishment pact, with
diminish offer (person) (number) If someone accepts this you will both be
set to be diminished to the preset amount. You can diminish yourself
further if you wish, but if you try and set your diminish higher it will
cancel the pact for both people. This will also be automatically canceled
if the two people aren’t in the same room. It is useful for people who want
to engage in a coded fight, but also want to draw it out.
Using diminish round (number) will diminish only your next source of
damage and will also echo to the room that you’ve done so. It is useful
for people who want to RP some IC event causing a temporary weakness
in their fighting.
Using diminish longterm will allow you to debuff your character for several hours, or
even days or weeks. This will always echo to the room you are in and if done with the
visible toggle will also show in your look info, if done with invisible won’t be seen,
and if combatvisible will appear to others when you enter a fight.

Diplomatic Patrol Events
Diplomatic patrols do not require you to be moving around the grid, but are aided slightly if you choose to do so. Every few minutes you will visibly check your phone while on a diplomatic patrol; this is visible to others in the room with you.
[Event One]:
The Syndicate abduct another character from the grid and put them into a holding cell before announcing an auction. All characters with the diplomatic patrol habit will be able to make their way to the auction site and bid on getting their hands on the victim. They won’t know who the victim is, but can bribe officials for hints as to their identity. At the conclusion of the bidding the winner will able able to collect the victim at the bidding location for the next several minutes; if they fail to do this, the victim will be sold to the next-highest bidder. Bids come from the finances you have in your bank account, and new bids supersede earlier ones.
patrol bribe : Pay $25 for a random piece of information on the victim.
patrol bid <n> : Make a blind bid of $n for the victim, to be charged if you win.
patrol collect : When in the Town Hall Meeting Room, collect your helpless victim if you’ve won.
[Event Two]:
A member of a subfaction comes to Haven in order to try and make a deal. All characters with the diplomatic patrol habit will be able to make their way to the meeting room to make their case. There they can pledge influence to their side, modified by their relationship with that subfaction, which will go through whenever they next emote. Whichever side contributes the most influence will receive society resources from the subfactions support. The amount of resources your society receives is related to your influence contribution, but not at a one-to-one ratio.
patrol influence (amount)
[Event Three]:
Someone who needs to be bribed is identified by the society. You and other society members will have to go to this location in order to give the NPC the money. You’ll have a general idea of how much to give them, but if you give too little the amount will increase. Upon success, those involved will receive Roleplay Experience and personal karma. Once at the location, you will need to roleplay and wait to enough time has passed before you can make the bribe, which should be formatted with dollars and cents, i.e., 10.00, 50.00, and so on.

by 5 to give your overall defense value, which works similar to hit points.
Melee Disciplines can only be used when next to a target, with a distance
value of 1, and do their value in damage.
Ranged Disciplines each have a unique max range and an optimum range which
is half that. Each of the help files for the ranged disciplines lists these

Doom
If you see a date next to ‘Dies’ in your score sheet that means your character has been prophesied to die
on that date. You can avoid this fate either by rerolling or otherwise finishing your character’s story
before then. Alternatively your character can go into hiding to change their fate and avoid their doom.
To do this you will have to not log that character into the game for one month from the date of their
doom. You can stasis the character, reroll them, make a guest, play an alt or just take a break from the
game. Regardless of what you choose if and when you return to the game you will have successfully have
avoided that doom, but that doesn’t mean a new one one be waiting for you.
Higher tier characters and those with more invested karma have shorter spans until their doom.

Dread
Dread
dread (degree) (thing)
dread (person) (degree) (thing)
–Project something your character is dreading at the current point in time. The degree is mild, moderate or strong. The person you name has to be in the room with you.
–Without a person named, everyone in the room who can sense dread senses it. With a person named, only that person does, and only if they can sense dread.
What it looks like
You see:
You feel (mildly/moderately) negatively preoccupied with the prospect of (thing).
Those who sense it see:
You (just slightly/moderately) want to manifest (your name)’s dread of (thing).
A strong dread leaves out the degree word in both lines.
Who senses dread
–Demonborn sense dread.
–So does anyone under the dreadwatcher ritual, for as long as it lasts (see help enhancements rituals).
–An AI-driven demonborn character in the room senses it the same way, and may act on it.
–An item imbued with demonborn blood lets its wearer feel suffering, not dread.
Roleplaying dread
This command represents the ability of those with demonic empathic abilities to intuitively sense the things that will best elicit suffering in others. Demonborn are not typically aware of the exact details of what someone is dreading, it is not mind reading, but they can pick up the general themes and ideas behind it.
What a player chooses for the dread command and their level does not represent what their character most fears or dreads generally, rather whatever it is most currently on their mind which makes it heavily influenced by the situation and circumstances. It is also often heavily influenced by their current train of thought, for instance someone mentions getting up early tomorrow, which makes them think about something they have to do at work tomorrow, which makes them start dreading being told off by their boss. This can at times be a little confusing for a demonborn who’d have no idea why they’re starting to feel like it’d be a good idea to put on a suit and scold this person.
Skilled demonborn interrogators work hard to try and control and influence the train of thought of their targets in order to more usefully use this sense to obtain valuable information or expose people’s weaknesses.

Dream Identity
While inside the dreamscape characters do not realise that they are
dreaming, or that the world they’re in is not real. Drives, desires and
situations from the real world frequently do manifest into their dreams, but
not as something external.
For instance if you go into the dreamscape wishing to be a bird, you will
probably dream about being a bird and flying around, but you won’t be aware
that you’re not a real bird and this isn’t a real world, at least not until
you wake up. Or if you fall asleep in the bathtub, may well end up in a
swamp or other damp locale in your dream.
Similarly if you go into the dreamscape with the intention of delivering a
message about yourself or someone else being held captive you might dream
about being a soldier sent to deliver their commanding office intelligence
about someone being held captive by the Nazis, or yourself be a recently
released POW.
People can sometimes use this to piece together events in real life, if
someone has a single theme of captivity running through all their dreams
when others encounter them frequently they might guess in the waking world
that that person is a captive, they might also be able to guess who they are
by other recurring themes in their dream identities. They wouldn’t of
course realise this in the dream however, since they also wouldn’t know it
was a dream until they awoke.
Characters do have much sharper memories of the dreams they have in the
dreamscape after they awake compared to normal dreams.
The creation of dreamworlds is a conscious, psychic exercise generally done
while awake or in a semi-sleeping state. Characters are aware they’ve built
a psychic realm and have consciously chosen each of its features. Characters
can while awake plan who they will be in a certain world when they fall
asleep, and focus on that desire in order to make it manifest. But it
doesn’t always work, sometimes their subconscious works against their wishes
to choose a different identity for them.
The details around how someone came to be in that place in the dream world
or whatever other parts of their backstory that are difficult to explain
will be fuzzy and hard for the dreamer to recall. If a dreamer does somehow
realise they are dreaming, they will immediately wake back up.

Dream Invading
Syntax: Dream Invade (dreamworld number) (victim)
Syntax: Dream Snare (dreamworld number) (victim)
If you can locate a character in the physical realm while you wander the
nightmare while dreaming as a spectre you can force them into a
dreamworld with you with the dream invade command. It costs 3% of your
Life force to use or 1.5% if the target is affected by Mandrake tea.
If the target is already a member of that dreamworld their existing identity
will be suspended while they enter as a new character based on their physical
identity. The invader has dreamgod powers over them for the duration of the
invasion.
The target can reclaim their old identity with dreamworld (number) reactivate.
They can even do this during the invasion, but that would put their normal
identity at the mercy of the invader.
When used with snare instead of invade the ability costs 9% LF or 4.5 if
under the effects of Mandrake but the victim can’t be woken up by normal
means. Instead a character must enter the same dreamworld, find them and
then use dreamworld rescue on them.
Dreamgod powers include the ability to blind, probe, noaction, nomove, drag
newintro and newdesc. More information about these commands can be found in
help RUNNING DREAMWORLDS.

Dreamscape
The dreamscape is a psychic realm that all sentient beings can access in
their sleep. Normal people only access it very rarely, maybe once or twice
in their entire life but supernaturals and anyone living in Haven can access
it almost every time they sleep if they wish to. Roleplaying in the
will earn you less roleplay experience, but will earn you
dreamscape experience which unlocks the ability to buy certain psychic
powers. Some find the dreamscape addictive and try to spend more and more
of their time inside it, living out their fantasies and dreams, reveling in
the ability to be anyone anytime. These individuals tend to begin to suffer
in the mundane world however, becoming more withdrawn, weaker, and often
developing other mental and emotional issues such as agoraphobia.
Characters in the dreamscape can have sex, this works the same way as sex on
the outside world mechanically, use private when you start RPing, and the
sex command. Dreamscape sex cannot get a character pregnant, or have any
other physical effects but it also doesn’t convey any real physical
pleasure. None the less some people find it particularly addictive, owing
to the ability to be anyone and experience any thing. Those who have
significantly more dream sex than real sex however will start to develop
sexual issues in their real life as well as other emotional problems,
manifest codely as diminishing effective life force.

Dreamworld
Dreamworlds are small pockets within the dream scape which have their own

can imagine from fantasy environments to sci-fi to more grounded ones or
even things based on works of existing fiction. The only limit is their
imagination.
After creating and accessing a dreamworld, the original author can choose to
enter it either as a normal dreamer or as the god of that world. As the god
they are invisible and can do emotes without their name in them, they can
also probe stats. PCs earn more dreamscape experience when playing in this
mode, PCs also earn a small amount of all dreamscape experience earned in
their dreamworld whenever they are online.

Dreamworld Requirements
As major parts of the RP environment in Haven, Dreamworlds need to meet
certain requirements.
1) Dreamworlds must be able to support monster guests, that is there should
be some form of monsterous creatures or beings inside the world.
2) Dreamworlds need to have continuity, while people may not always exactly
remember things that transpire within them, things do transpire and can lead
into future events.
3) Dreamworlds must be able to support plots. Dreamworld owners do not have
to run plots in their worlds, but the world should have enough depth to
support them if they wish to.
4) Dreamworlds must have a role that can be taken by an ordinary human
character wandering into the world. i.e. Some form of new arrival role.
5) Dreamworlds must be believable realities. Generally this means they
should have some sort of history, lore, laws of physics etc which make sense
within the confines of the world and do not rely on PCs of NPCs acting in
ways that make no sense or are clearly OOCly driven.
6) Dreamworlds need to be sufficiently detailed that a new player could
start RPing in them without needing OOC help. If they rely on outside
canons, they must be common enough for any query to be answered quickly and
readily by an internet search and it should be clear what canon they are
relying upon.
7) Dreamworlds must be fully developed worlds, specifically this means they
may not be sandbox worlds in which the environment or reality changes on a
scene by scene basis, and they cannot be service worlds which are designed
around offering one-off scenes with no focus on continuity.

Drugs
There are three hardcoded drug types, these are Rohypnol, Vampire Blood,
and Poison. There are also many recreational drugs, both prescription and
street. Recreational drugs send a message when taken and have the power to
inflict a temporary level one imprint.
The hardcoded drugs can be either taken by drinking them, or put into a
drink or food object. To dose a drink or meal with a drug, use pour (drug)
(drink/food)
Poison when taken will have no immediate noticeable effect. It will take
between 20-30 minutes to affect a normal person, about double that for a
supernatural. Vampires are immune to poison. When the effect kicks in the
victim will be wounded and weakened, regeneration will not help them heal
this wound. If someone logs off before the poison has kicked in, it will
kick in when they next log on.
Rohypnol when taken will have no noticeable or immediate effect. It will
take 20-30 minutes to effect a normal person, about double that for a
supernatural or three times for a vampire. When the effect kicks in the
victim will pass out, rendering them helpless and able to be tied up,
dragged around etc. If someone logs off before the drug kicks in they will
pass out then, disconnected but with their character remaining in the game
in the same way as if they’d been abducted. You can use the tuckin command
to send a character in this state off the game.

Dynasty
Overview: The Dynasty is the most powerful supernatural organization apart
from the big three, but tends to be largely isolationist and operates almost
entirely out of the far East. Their goals and priorities are an enigma and using
any supernatural abilities in their territories is considered unwise since you
can never know what will offend them. Their agents are much like modern ninjas,
highly stealth oriented assassins who use modern weapons as well as biomancy to
augment their strength, speed and durability, but are otherwise human. Those
who anger them and are caught by their agents are never heard of again.
Common Allies: Chinese Intelligence
Common Enemies: The Hand, The Order, The Temple.
Prefers: Asians
Typical Tasks: None

Eidolon Lore
Eidolon is the term for a variety of different spiritual entities which draw their power from belief, sacrifice, and the arcane and work in and through the world.
Origins:
Eidolons have multiple possible origins, some are created by Fae, Gods or even powerful magical users to serve them or their interests. Sometimes Eidolons are created by accident when a large magical working is undertaken. Some are born from local belief and dreams and some used to be people who have transformed themselves into an Eidolon, usually as part of a quest to eventually ascend into godhood or a similar level of power.
Powers:
Eidolons have limited direct power but have significant ability to work through other agents. They can generally control animals, weather and machinery but their main strength is working through human agents. Eidolons have significant powers to influence and manipulate people as well as the ability to grant them great powers and boons to enhance them. They can also often possess people, even frequently against their will and this is their only real way of experiencing the physical world. It is common for Eidolons to possess people and then encourage or manipulate them into doing exciting or interesting things for the Eidolon to experience. This often includes extremely dangerous activities and even often fatal ones so the Eidilon can enjoy the sensation of death before moving on.
Eidolons can create and/or control more minor spirits and ghosts and often use them as their agents to spread their goals and progress their interests.
Eidolons do not have their own source of power, they need to draw on supernatural power from other sources. Sacrifices, either of life or blood help them gain power, so does power channeled through belief, worship and other sacrifice but the most reliable source of power is arcane objects. The valuable resources that supernatural societies hold in their vaults often serve as some of the best sources of power for Eidolons.
Ascension:
If an Eidolon gains enough power and has a a catalyst they can use that power to transform themselves into something else. This usually requires rare and very powerful items as well and/or complex rituals with exacting requirements. There is no specific limitation on what an Eidolon can transform themselves into given enough power but the two most typical forms of ascension are either to become physical, becoming an entity such as a god or true-fae or demon lord. Or to entirely transcend the mortal plane and become a kind of latent supernatural force in the world. Generally not even being really conscious anymore but rather existing in a sort of eternal dream state.
Destruction:
The exact same things that empower Eidolons can be used to drain power from them with similar sorts of sacrifices, powerful objects and rituals. A powerful enough catalyst can even be used to destroy an Eidolon entirely by reducing its power below that which is required to sustain itself and causing the Eidolon to disperse away into nothingness.
Types:
There are no specific rules on what an Eidolon can be, but there are several broad types into which they tend to fall.
Fae:
Common origins for Fae Eidolons is that they begin as some sort of spirit of mischief that achieves a higher level of sentience and power or that they are created by a true Fae to serve their interests or goals and grow from there.
Fae Eidolons almost always seek to ascend into becoming true Fae and are frequently categorized by a focus on enjoyment and experience, they spend a lot of time possessing their followers and having them engage in more and more extreme hedonistic and thrill seeking behaviour.
Divine:
Divine Eidolons are usually created by a God to be some sort of servant or further their interests. They usually are aspected in a way very similar to the God that created them, such that Eidolons created by a war god are often heavily focused on war and warlike activities. Some gods support their Eidolons ascending and even want them to become a lower ranked god in their divine court but often the Eidolon resents their divine master and are trying to ascend behind their back and/or as a way to break away from their court and control. These can often be particularly complex entities since they both resent a particular god while still being made in their image.
Divine Eidolons almost always seek to ascend into becoming a god themselves and their focuses are as varied as the gods who created them.
Demonic:
Demonic Eidolons are almost always created by demons as a way to influence Earth in a way they generally cannot do while being locked in hell. Its also common for demonic Eidolons to be humans who have been transformed as part of some deal or pact, either done to them or something they have sought out themselves in a quest for power and immortality. Demonic Eidolons almost always have the same innate desire for suffering as other demons do.
Demonic Eidolons ascension goals are highly varied, its common for them to seek ascension into a demon lord but also common for them to seek ascension into a malicious force to more effectively promote suffering throughout the world.
The behaviour of demonic Eidolons is usually typified by the demonic interest in suffering, they tend to use their followers to try and create and promote suffering and rarely can help themselves from also forcing suffering upon their followers. This is often their greatest weakness as they try and walk the line between maximizing the suffering and not driving people away.
Ghost:
Ghostly Eidolons are ghosts who have been able to obtain enough followers or power after their death to ascend into something more powerful. They are as varied as the humans who died to become them but often are fixated on the circumstances of their death and any injustices they suffered or other grudges they had while alive.
Their ascension goals are varied but its common for them to seek to ascend into a non-sentient force as a way of seeking peace after death.
They often try to use their followers to carry on any missions or grudges they had in life, wanting them to attack the descendants of their enemies or embody the lifestyle or culture they used to have.
Cthulian:
Cthulian Eidolons come from the void and almost nothing is known about their origin. It is suspected that at least some of them used to be human however. Cthulian Eidolons often ascend into either powerful monstrous forms or ethereal entities but either way they always seem to disappear from the world shortly afterwards, presumably returning to the void for unknown reasons.
Cthulian Eidolons goals are quite alien and difficult for people to understand, they are often unspeakably cruel but do not seem to enjoy it in the same way as demons and often have their followers do things which make no sense at all to the members of the cult. Hunger is the only common theme among Cthulian Eidolons and they often will possess a human while they are feasting or become fixating on people consuming unusual things such as drinking blood or engaging in cannibalism.
Primal:
Primal Eidolons are usually formed from the worship of Nature or when a particularly remarkable and unusual animal dies but some are also human shamans or nature worshippers who are using it as a way to ascend.
Primal Eidolons almost always ascend into non-corporeal spirits of natural force although rarely some will ascend into some sort of animalistic god.
Their interests vary depending on the origin of the spirit, those which are evolved natural spirits are often deeply focused on preserving and growing the natural world, fighting against industrialization and civilization. Those who come from animal origins have goals which are heavily influenced by the type of animal they are, predators encourage their followers to engage in more predation and may enjoy possessing people while hunting. Pack animals have cults which are more communal while other animals might be more contemplative or playful.

Emote Combat
Emote combat occurs when there are no NPCs involved in a fight who aren’t
either controlled by a SR, or the minions of a PC.
Emote combat is started by someone typing ‘attack’ by itself.
The turn in which participants will be allowed to act is randomized, but also
affected by the Fast Reflexes skill, those with higher fast reflexes being more
likely to get to act earlier in the rotation.
When it is your turn you will have two minutes to input your attacks and moves
or you forfeit your turn, this is done just like in fast combat with the attack
and move commands. You can still use attacks with the custom argument to attach
special affects to your attacks, but you won’t use the message associated with
that attack.
Once you have input your commands you have five minutes to write an emote to
describe what your character is doing in that turn, how they are moving and
attacking. This is done with the emote command just like in regular RP. Once the
emote is finished and sent the code will be processed and it will move to the
next person’s turn.

Emote Standards
The following standards are expecting when emoting or using other RP
commands on Haven.
*) You should not include any OOC information or communication inside an
emote. SRs are excempt from this standard if they find they need OOC emotes
to set up/run their scenes.
*) You should not post fixed or corrected emotes, if you need to fix an
error and cannot do so ICly you should do it with a small follow up
clarifying statement. Do not repeat the whole emote again.
*) You should not use color to an extent that is irritating or obnoxious.
You should not color all your emotes. You should not overwrite people’s
color say preferences with colored speech in your emotes.
*) You should not include any ‘meta commentary’ in your emotes remarking on
events as if you were a narrator talking about the scene. This is
especially true of passive aggressive commentary such as. “Bob ignores
@person and their stupid shoes.”
*) You should not write the result of an action which may be contested
unless the result has been determined by some coded feature of the game such
as a compete or combat.
*) You should not use emotes to control NPCs in any way that aids your
character or their agenda unless they are professional NPCs simply doing
their job, such as bodyguards or shopkeepers. Or are NPCs reasonably
under your authority behaving sensibly, such as a secretary fetching
coffee or a child obeying their parents.
*) You may not delierately damage the immersion or reality of ongoing
roleplay with your emotes. Such as by deliberately focusing attention on
any coded aspect of the game unequal to the task of representing a reality
or on interpretations of coded events that are notably less sensible than
other interpretations.
You can use report (person) if you feel they are violating these standards,
staff also may report people if they see violations of the emote standards.
Violations may cause you to lose RPxp and/or Karma.

Emoting
Syntax: emote (string)
This is the basic emoting syntax. Unless otherwise specificied, the emote
will start with your short desc or whatever others have you remembered by.
There is a character limit, but it is fairly long. If you are used to emoting
in very long paragraphs, split them up with separate emotes.
Syntax: subtle (string)
A subtle emote is the same as a regular emote, except that it can only be
seen by someone who has joined the same place as you. If you have not
joined a place, a subtle emote will show to anyone who similarly has not.
Places will be marked as such in a room description.
Syntax: private (person) (string)
A private emote is a regular emote that can only be seen by the person you
send it to. You cannot use dialogue in a private emote. A private emote that
has not been properly targeted will show as a subtle emote.
Syntax: announce (message)
This is a form of emote that goes to everyone in the room
even when the room is crowded. Regular emotes do not go to
the whole room in crowded rooms but only to those at the
same place as you.
Syntax: internal (message)
This form of emote can only be seen by you and any SRs and allows
you to emote internal thoughts, feelings, memories etc.
Syntax:
Targeting:
@me: @me in an emote will force the emote not to start with your sdesc,
instead putting it wherever you place it in the paragraph. E.g.,
emote “Hello,” @me says, giving a wave.
will read as:
“Hello,” Bob says, giving a wave.
as opposed to:
emote waves and says, “Hello.”
Bob waves and says, “Hello.”
@my: In order to have your sdesc appear possessive and force the emote
to not start with it, you must use @my. E.g.,
emote Stalking down the street, @my eyes peer owlishly around.
will read as:
Stalking down the street, Bob’s eyes peer owlishly around.
@name: In order to target someone else in an emote, simply @theirname
or @introkeyword. E.g.,
emote glances curiously at @name.
will read as:
Bob glances curiously at Alice.
@name’s: In order to target someone with a possessive, do the above but add
a ‘s as @theirname’s. E.g.,
emote grabs at @name’s bag.
will read as:
Bob grabs at Alice’s bag.

Employee
Syntax: job take employee (character)
The employee job allows one of your characters to work for another of your
characters. This allows you to bypass the restriction on using one alt to
aid another but not any other restriction. That is your characters can be
allies, but you still cannot have two supernatural characters logged in at
once etc.
The character you are becoming an employee of must be higher tier than you
and in the same room.
Employees earn 20% of the money of those with fulltime jobs, and cannot earn
influence or take contact stats.
Their secrecy is 10% lower than it would otherwise be, and they don’t count
against a societies total membership for secrecy purposes and aren’t
considered for calculating the average tier of the society.

Encounter
Syntax: encounter launch
Syntax: encounter bringin (message)/stop
Syntax: encounter join (SR Name)
Syntax: encounter storyline (storyline name)
Syntax: encounter mastermine (character name)
Encounters are random IC events run by storyrunners that occur in an
instanced version of Haven.
SRs first use encounter launch, this command will find a player and pick
from a list of 50+ possible encounters, prompting the player with the option
to join an encounter and giving the name of the SR running it. The player
has two minutes to respond, if they accept both they and the SR are moved
into an instanced copy of the room they were just in, and the SR is given a
short one to two sentence description of the encounter.
The SR will then use this writing prompt to create a small RP scene for the
participants, they will earn enhanced karma for this much like they would
for running an adventure, but not as much. During the adventure they can of
course summon in new people if there’s a reason to single them out in
particular, but they can also make use of the encounter bringin command.
This command puts the encounter onto the where list with the string the SR

the SR and person first recruited. It also sends an echo to those most
likely to notice the encounter going on. From there players can use
encounter join (SR name) to join the encounter up to a maximum of five.
SRs can edit encounter rooms with the decorate command.
There is a week cooldown on running encounters.
Every 6 weeks an SR can use encounter launch (name) to launch an encounter with a particular target.
Once the SR sees the encounter they can add it to an existing storyline if they think it fits.
Once added to a storyline they can also assign it a mastermind if it makes sense.
Be advised that encounters are not private affairs; they show up on faction/cult/sect report events for society members and are logged on Haven’s website as well.

Syntax: encounter join (SR Name)

Syntax: encounter mastermine (character name)
Encounters are random IC events run by storyrunners that occur in an
instanced version of Haven.
SRs first use encounter launch, this command will find a player and pick
from a list of 50+ possible encounters, prompting the player with the option
to join an encounter and giving the name of the SR running it. The player
has two minutes to respond, if they accept both they and the SR are moved
into an instanced copy of the room they were just in, and the SR is given a
short one to two sentence description of the encounter.
The SR will then use this writing prompt to create a small RP scene for the
participants, they will earn enhanced karma for this much like they would
for running an adventure, but not as much. During the adventure they can of
course summon in new people if there’s a reason to single them out in
particular, but they can also make use of the encounter bringin command.
This command puts the encounter onto the where list with the string the SR
specifies, appearing as (string) is happening in (room) and also the name of
the SR and person first recruited. It also sends an echo to those most

Encroachment
The forest of Haven is not a natural one by any stretch of the imagination. Even
as pioneers push out to claim its land, the forest pushes back. It grows at a
preternatural rate, and any property inside it must contend with it constantly
encroaching upon it and trying to reclaim the land.
The forest grows more quickly in the outer forest than the inner forest. The
outer forest starts where the mist does.
Properties or roads damaged by encroachment can be repaired by the repair
command.
Properties can also be automatically maintained by NPCs for cash.

Enemy
An Enemy is a type of guest, your character needs to be at least tier two
to create such a guest and they can be created approximately every two
months. The maximum tier for an enemy is the same tier as your PC. Enemies
start off with a bunch of scheme influence.
An enemy must be an actual enemy of your PC, likely come to Haven
specifically to come after them. Your PC is frozen for the duration of the
enemy being in town, it’s up to you to roleplay the reason for them not
being around but leaving town to avoid the enemy is generally a good reason.
As such the enemy will most likely go after your PCs friends and allies, or
will try to arrange traps or ambushes for them when they return.

Enhancements Rituals
Life Force Costs per level of Ritualism: 1: 21%, 2: 12%, 3: 9%, 4: 6%, 5: 4%
Syntax: Ritual sacrifice Cost: 25%
Sacrifices some of the character’s apparent age to turn it into pure life
force energy. Is self targeted, and needs Ritualism 2 or higher. A character
who has fixed their apparent age with ageless still ages, but gains
no life force from it.
Syntax: Ritual shadowcloak (target) Cost: 25%
Applies a shadowcloak to the target, making all lights in their proximity
fail until they remove it with the shadowcloak command.
Syntax: Ritual agetheft (target) Cost: 150%
Steals some of the physical age from another and gives it to the caster.
More effective the larger an age difference there is, also much more
effective if done with the target bound helpless in the same room as the
caster. Costs half again as much life force as most rituals. It fails
to latch on to anyone with fewer than 100 hours played, and takes half as
much from tier one characters.
Syntax: Ritual shadowwalk (target) Cost: 25%
Makes the room the caster performs it in their shadowed room. It always marks
the caster’s own room, so name yourself as the target. Once a day, when not
helpless, restrained or otherwise pre-occupied, the caster can use the
shadowwalk command to return to that room from anywhere in Haven, bringing
with them anyone they are dragging or carrying. Performing the ritual again
moves the shadowed room and lets the caster walk again straight away. See
help shadowwalk.
Syntax: Ritual dreadwatcher (target) Cost: 50%
Gives the target a temporary share of demonic empathy: while it lasts they
sense the dreads of those around them as a demonborn does (see help dread).
It does not let them feel suffering. How long it lasts depends on the strength
of the caster against the target, and it has no effect on someone proof
against rituals.

but is otherwise one of the most powerful forms of enslavement there is.
The victim will believe themselves head over heels in love with the user and
willing to do almost anything to make them happy. It can only be used on
one person at a time. When the effect wears off the victim will realize
they were manipulated, but will believe their actions were less out of

Enthrall
Levels: 0, 2
Syntax: Enthrall (target)
Enthrall break
Enthralling is an abomination power that can only be used on helpless
targets. When used it places the target entirely in your thrall, they will
have to obey any order given to them. It can be broken with enthrall break,
and breaks automatically if the abomination dies.
Somewhat uniquely for mind control an enthralled target is aware they’re
enthralled and does not wish to follow their orders, but is compelled to
anyway, a great exertion of will is only able to delay follow an order by a
second.
Enthralled targets are compelled to obey what they believe their master
meant, not the literal words of an order, and so can’t try to loophole
things semantically.
An enthralled target will see ‘Your master’ in the look info of their master
generally and will see memory cloaked masters as ‘Your master’ instead of
their normal nondescript intro. An abomination can only have one person
enthralled at a time.
If a character dies while enthralled, their master also dies.
This effect lasts for a few hours to a day or two past when
the bond ends, much longer if the enthralled person is badly injured,
bloodaured or tainted for breaking the understanding.

Experience
Experience is gained every time you engage in combat, and is determined
per blow based on how much damage you do to the enemy and how strong that
enemy is. The most reliable way to get more combat experience is to go out
into the deep forest and find monsters to battle, but this can also be very
dangerous. Sparring with other players offers a safer way to earn combat
experience, but there’s a daily cap on how much can be gained this way. You
can also convert influence into combat experience if you have excess,
although the rate isn’t that high. Lastly you can go on adventures and
convert your adventure experience into combat experience.
Experience is used to increase your disciplines, and you can spend up to
maximum of a million combat experience on any given character, karma can be
used to increase this cap.

Exsanguinating
Positive Tier Modifier
Replaceable: Yes.
Some vampires, particularly newer ones can increase their power by glutting
themselves on human blood. Specifically by finding humans to drain
completely until dead in a process called exsanguination. This modifier
represents those vampires who make use of this to increase their strength or
power. They must venture outside of the reach of the sanctuary spell and
then use the exsanguinate command, to find and kill an NPC. Those with this
modifier who haven’t exsanguinated anyone in two months will face serious
life force penalities.

dark will show to characters with the Night Vision power.
Example: “decorate extra dark“ will put you in an editor to write a description for those with night vision.
acutehearing will show to characters with the Acute Hearing power.
Example: “decorate extra acutehearing“ will put you in an editor to write a description for those with acute hearing.

Fae
You need Occult Knowledge of at least two to know this information.
Similarly to the gods, the lords of the Fae were once humans who became
extremely accomplished in fleshforming magic. Unlike the gods however they
had no interest in power, leadership or responsibility. Rather they were
hedonists who used their power only for their own pleasure, rendering
themselves immortal but not entirely unkillable. They very early on created
their own realm. The Fae is a world that is forever caught up in a never
ending party, over the centuries however increasing boredom has led to
entertainments become more and more extreme and the lords of the Fae have
long since lost any sort of human empathy. Entertainments vary from simple
stories and dance to brutal life or death contests and recreational torture.
The Fae sometimes journey into the human world, taking on any form they
chose when they do so, male, female, or animal. Sometimes they do this in
order to capture people to bring back with them to serve in the Fae world
forever. Those chosen in this way may end up simple entertainers, or
fighting for their life against brutal and monstrous creations. Almost no
one ever escapes from Fae after they’ve been captured, and none at all
escape after they’ve been there for more than a week or two.
Sometimes they journey out in order to play pranks on the humans, as a sort
of vacation. These pranks also are very variable, some are incredibly mild,
and may even end up helping their target, such as arranging things so that a
homeless bum becomes a millionaire overnight. Others can be incredibly
cruel. The Fae are masters of manipulating fate, having given themselves a
natural magical ability to do so, sorcery that can intelligently manipulate
a thousand small variables to bring about a desired result, seemingly simply
as a result of luck.
Every now and again the Fae will sleep with a human, this is rarely done for
simple pleasure however and never for anything as trite as love. It is
almost always part of some prank, sleeping with a man in the form of his
wife when she is stuck in traffic and watching the ensuing argument. Or
impregnating a young religious girl and wiping from her mind the sexual
encounters so she has no explanation for her pregnancy for her parents. The
chance of impregnation is low, about one tenth the chance of a human
impregnating another but can happen. These offspring and their descendants
are called faeborn.
Fae are unnaturally sensitive to magnetic fields and can even be kept weak
and near incapacitated by those that are powerful enough. Even their
decendants show some signs of this vulnerability, being made slightly dizzy
by strong fields and when struck with ferromagnetic weapons.

homeless bum becomes a millionaire overnight. Others can be incredibly
cruel. The Fae are masters of manipulating fate, having given themselves a
natural magical ability to do so, sorcery that can intelligently manipulate
a thousand small variables to bring about a desired result, seemingly simply
as a result of luck.
Every now and again the Fae will sleep with a human, this is rarely done for
simple pleasure however and never for anything as trite as love. It is
almost always part of some prank, sleeping with a man in the form of his
wife when she is stuck in traffic and watching the ensuing argument. Or
impregnating a young religious girl and wiping from her mind the sexual
encounters so she has no explanation for her pregnancy for her parents. The
chance of impregnation is low, about one tenth the chance of a human
impregnating another but can happen. These offspring and their descendants
are called faeborn.
Fae are unnaturally sensitive to magnetic fields and can even be kept weak
and near incapacitated by those that are powerful enough. Even their
decendants show some signs of this vulnerability, being made slightly dizzy
by strong fields and when struck with ferromagnetic weapons.

Faeborn Lore
Also Read: Help Faeborn Mechanics
The faeborn are those fae in their family line. These fae genes activate
erratically, usually for one child in every three or four generations. The
chances of any of your direct family being active faeborn is astronomically
small, but it is possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to do.
There’s also a decent chance that twins, both fraternal and identical will
share the trait if one has it.
Faeborn tend to be smaller in stature than most humans, and have more
delicate, elfin like features. They also tend to have a greater
predisposition towards mischief and often a bit less empathy for others
compared to most people. The faeborn tend to attract extremes in luck,
being far more likely to for instance win the lottery, but also more likely
to be wrongfully imprisoned. The faeborn’s natural uncontrolled influence
on fate can sometimes be harnessed. If a faeborn is captured and held
prisoner by any person in any way, that person will benefit from greatly
improved luck for the duration of the captivity. The faeborn also won’t
attract the same extremes in luck they normally would while held captive.
There are three basic types of faeborn latent, active and passive.
Latent Faeborn are effectively entirely human, but there is a chance that at
some point in their adult life the latent genes will activate and they will
become either active or passive faeborn.
Passive Faeborn are almost entirely human, but they have the appearance of
faeborn attract the same extremes in luck and have a special type of blood
that’s used in certain rituals.
Active Faeborn are passives usually until around the end of puberty, usually
seventeen to nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate
later in life, although this is very, very rare in people not living near the
Gate. As well as the effects of passive faeborns the Actives once they
activate have amazing and varied powers. Often gaining supernatural
strength, magical abilities or shape shifting skills.
Note: Faeborns are physically entirely human in appearance.

Falling
Falling
Open air
If you walk out into open air and cannot fly, you have about six seconds before you drop. After that you fall one floor about every second until you reach something solid. You do not fall while you are in a fight, or while someone who is flying is carrying you. Falling this way does not injure you.
Losing your grip
While climbing up a building you can lose your grip and fall. The higher you have climbed, the likelier this is and the worse the landing: after four or more floors you land mildly injured, after eight or more severely injured. The undead and the angelborn are only ever mildly injured. See help climb for the chances.
Landing in water
If you lose your grip and land in deep water, you are not injured, however high you had climbed. Shallow water does not break the fall.
Under water
If you go under water and cannot breathe there, you have about twenty seconds before you have to swim for the surface. After that you swim up one level about every second. If the way up is blocked, you panic for breath and are left severely injured, and try again about five seconds later. This does not happen while a higher power or a storyrunner is present.

Fast Combat
Fast combat occurs any time there are NPCs involved in the fight except when;
the NPCs are controlled by a SR, or when the NPCs are the minions of a PC.
In fast combat each time you use the attack command it creates a 12 second
delay before you can use it again, attempting to do so will put the command
into a buffer, where it will then automatically be used when the timer expires.
Move is on its own 12 second timer which works in the same way with its own
buffer.
You can type autofire, to set a toggle which will make you
automatically repeat your last attack when available as long as it
was successful.

Commands
coinflip (text) or (text)
–Use this when your character is torn between two choices and random chance could decide which one they pick. Only the fae who decides and you see the result, in the form (Coinflip) (person) will (text).
luck (text) or (text)
–Use this to represent random chance and how it affects your character. The chosen option is shown to everyone in the room, in the form ((name)’s luck) (text).

–Separate your two options with the word or, in lower case.
Who decides
–Everyone in the room who is sensitive to fate, apart from you, is shown both options and asked to choose. The first to answer decides, and the choice is taken away from the others.
–Faeborn are sensitive to fate, and so is anyone wearing an item imbued with fae blood (see help imbue).
–If nobody in the room is sensitive to fate, nobody is asked and no result is shown.
Using luck
Normally with luck one of the options will be the character having good luck and one of them having bad luck but this doesn’t have to always be true. You are allowed to involve more of the world in the use of the luck command than in normal emotes, puppeting NPCs or other world elements in more significant ways as long as luck is the driving force. e.g. Someone’s bad luck could have them run into a mean parking cop, but not have a parking cop decide to specifically target them.
Faeborn’s control over their manipulation of fate is not always conscious, some have honed this ability and can deliberately control it but others may influence luck based on their subconscious impulses or based on their concept. For instance, some faeborn may always be bad luck when they are around or good luck in the morning and bad luck in the evening etc.
Those with fae blood have the ability to manipulate the vagaries of fate. Anyone can put a moment of chance into their hands with the coinflip or luck command, and the fae in the room decide which way it falls.
Commands
coinflip (text) or (text)
–Use this when your character is torn between two choices and random chance could decide which one they pick. Only the fae who decides and you see the result, in the form (Coinflip) (person) will (text).
luck (text) or (text)
–Use this to represent random chance and how it affects your character. The chosen option is shown to everyone in the room, in the form ((name)’s luck) (text).
1 or 2
–If you are sensitive to fate, pick which of the two options happens. The person who used coinflip or luck has to still be in the room.
–Separate your two options with the word or, in lower case.
Who decides
–Everyone in the room who is sensitive to fate, apart from you, is shown both options and asked to choose. The first to answer decides, and the choice is taken away from the others.
–Faeborn are sensitive to fate, and so is anyone wearing an item imbued with fae blood (see help imbue).
–If nobody in the room is sensitive to fate, nobody is asked and no result is shown.

Fatigue
Fatigue builds up over time as you fight, going up a little when you
attack or move. When it reaches one hundred you will get penalties to your
disciplines and experience gains.
Fatigue can be lowered by eating, drinking and roleplaying while you’re at
full defense but this will only work up to a certain point.
After this sleep is required to recover, logging off for several hours will
set your fatigue back to zero. Fortunately for would be adventurers the
Lodge is enchanted to enhance the recovery of anyone inside it. Spending
about 20 minutes inside is as good as a solid few hour nap and will lower
fatigue to let people get back to fighting.
From a RP perspective, the recovery from the Lodge is not quite as good as
real sleep, if people rely on it too much they will grow increasingly
strained and stretched, similar to people who over caffeinate to stay up for
long times.

Fixation
Fixation occurs during predatory patrol events when the pursuer elects
to continue after the pursued even though they are making it more difficult
to do so.
Fixation builds over time but will only take effect if the target is captured.
As a target you can avoid fixation by either by abandoning the chase or letting
them go when they try and dash past you.
If instead the target is captured the pursuer will be affected by fixation
for some time afterwards, longer the higher the level of fixation. While
affected by fixation in this way they will lose RPXP during any in person
RP where the target of their fixation is not present and also will have a
harder time paying attention to other things going on. They can terminate
this effect early if they murder the target of their fixation, but this will
also cause a life force debuff for several weeks afterwards. Fixated characters
can always use an ability granted by a lower level of fixation instead.
Level One) Lasts for three hours, the fixated character can place a single
body compulsion on the target with no opportunity for them to resist it with
bodycompel (target) (imprint) which will last for 5 hours for each level of
fixation.
Level Two) Lasts for nine hours, the fixated character can mindhack the target
for free.
Level Three) Lasts for one day, the fixated character can alter the target’s
appearance in a way that sanctuary would usually prevent, e.g. changing hair
color, giving a tattoo etc.
Level Four) Lasts for two days, the fixated character can brand the target
even if they are otherwise protected. This brand will last for one week or
the duration of the fixation, whichever is longer.
Level Five) Lasts for three days, the fixated character can enthrall the target.
This lasts for one week or the duration of the fixation, whichever is longer.
Level Six) Lasts for five days, the fixated character can enrapture the target.
This lasts for one week or the duration of the fixation, whichever is longer.
Level Seven) Lasts for seven days, the target only has limited sanctuary protection
from the fixated character.
Level Eight) Lasts for nine days, the fixated character can use any two of the
previous level abilities on the target.
Level Nine) Lasts for twelve days, the fixated character can use any three of the
previous level abilities on the target.
Level Ten) Lasts for thirty days, the target has no sanctuary protection against

after their birth. Either by a higher power such as a Fae or God or by a

damage from them.
your character has spent their life learning or mastering. They come in
three families, combat, arcane and professional. You can train focus stats
like any other stat but can not negtrain them once you are out of newbie
school, you are also limited in how many you can train by your effective
tier.
Each effective tier grants access to a specific number of focus points.
Your effective tier is shown when you type score.
Tiers: # Focus Points
Tier One: 0 Focus Points
Tier Two: 1 Focus Points

Follower Combat Behavior
Followers – that is, minions, hired muscle contacts, and additional manpower granted via society commands, occasionally follow some of the same rules and additionally each have their own quirks. Understanding these behaviours is key to maintaining a lack of frustration with followers when in a combat scenario.
[Manpower/Soldiers]:
– Soldiers will prioritise attacking other soldier NPCs before moving on to PCs, even if given orders not to do so.
– Soldiers will then prioritise minions and muscle over PCs.
– Soldiers ignore commands given when there are no hostile NPCs on the battlefield or in their sight line.
– The amount of assigned manpower on an operation has bearing on the amount of hostile NPCs that spawn; more manpower results in more spawns.
[Minions/Muscle]:
– Minions and muscle contacts, unlike soldiers, do not automatically assume anything in the field of combat is hostile.
– Someone becomes hostile when the minion or muscle is told to attack it, or when it attacks the minion or muscle.
– They may ignore commands if they are told to target something that they cannot see; remember their sightlines may not match yours.
– Their behaviour is dictated by their disciplines:
– If their melee discipline is the same as or slightly higher than ranged, they will prefer to charge and fire, or fight back in melee if engaged.
– If ranged is higher than melee, they will prefer to disengage and attempt to gain distance to fire, even if attacked when in cover.
– When told to engage atwill, they will only focus on hostile targets, as defined above.
– When told to engage atwill, they will try and assist their commanding PC with the targets the PC focuses on.
– They will follow their last instructions if their commanding PC dies.
– If they were told to follow, they become stationary, attacking hostile targets in range.
– If they were told to attack, they will pursue their target until either they die, or it dies, whereupon they revert to the above.
– If they were told to act atwill, they will actively move to engage hostile targets in their range; otherwise, they are stationary.
– Be prepared to micromanage if you want ideal behaviour out of your minions or muscle contacts; think of follow as a leash.

Following
To follow someone simply type follow (person) to stop type follow self or just follow by itself. You will automatically
follow someone whenever you can, if they use public transport you will go into the room with them for that, if they drive
or fly they may specify you to come along as a passenger, otherwise if they drive and you have a car you will tail them.
This means you’ll take your own car but arrive at the same time, if they fly and you can fly you will follow them.
If they fly and you can’t fly, you won’t be able to follow them, and if they speed and your car is slower you will arrive
significantly after them, meaning they will be able to lose you quite easily.

FOR MORTALS action
FOR GODS action
Executes action several times, either on ALL players (not including yourself),
MORTALS (including trusted characters), GODS (characters with level higher than
L_HERO), MOBS (Not recommended) or every room (not recommended either!)
If you insert a # in the action, it will be replaced by the name of the target.
If # is a part of the action, the action will be executed for every target
in game.
there is no #, the action will be executed for every room containing
at least one target, but only once per room. # cannot be used with FOR EVERY-
WHERE. # can be anywhere in the action.
Example:
FOR ALL SMILE -> you will only smile once in a room with 2 players.
FOR ALL TWIDDLE # -> In a room with A and B, you will twiddle A then B.
Destroying the characters this command acts upon MAY cause it to fail. Try to
avoid something like FOR MOBS PURGE (although it actually works at my MUD).
FOR MOBS TRANS 3054 (transfer ALL the mobs to Midgaard temple) does NOT work
though 🙂
The command works by transporting the character to each of the rooms with
target in them. Private rooms are not violated.

force
Syntax: force (target) (action) (field)
Forces a helpless or possessed target to perform an action. Valid actions:
wear, remove, show, take, use, eat, drink, expose, unexpose, drop, join,
givekeys, emote, and zip. Givekeys requires no field, and keys must be
be held in order to be used.
See individual command helpfiles for more information.
Syntax: force (target) (abortion/abort)
This command has a 90 percent success rate. It has a base wound of
mild, but can be scaled up by other factors. If additional factors = 3,
the character dies. If additional factors = 2, it’s a critical wound.
If additional factors = 1, it’s a severe wound.
The scaling factors are:
* A random 10 percent chance.
* A 50 percent chance if the character is forcing their own abortion.
* If the target is wounded already.

forest abductions
When fighting the creatures in the outer forest, if you are injured, you
may be kidnapped and taken offworld. Where you are taken is largely
determined by the creature that landed the final blow. You will be bound,
may have armor and/or weapons and other valuables removed. Though these
can usually be found in your stash once you return.
The societies in Haven will be notified with the description of the
people that are taken and where they were taken.
After between 12-24 hours, your character may have lose a limb, or become
impregnated. Though the time it takes for this to happen may be reduced
depending on how many people have been kidnapped recently and when the
last person had something bad done.
For example: The first person to get kidnapped has a 12-24 hour window, the
second person has a 11-22 hour window, the third person 10-20 until one
gets something done to them, then the next person is back up to 12-24.

Founding Family Applications
The Founding Families have no special powers or abilities, the benefit of playing a Founding Family member is that you get to say you’re a member of one of the Founding Families. If you outright begin to sabotage your Founding Family concept, staff reserves the right to kill your Founding Family member. You cannot play a Founding Family member and have story off.
Who can be played
The heads of the families named below (the patriarchs and matriarchs) are not playable, and neither are their direct relatives: their children, siblings, parents and spouses. Play a cousin, a grandchild, an in-law or a more distant branch of the family instead.
To play a Founding Family member, your account must have earned 10,000 karma over its lifetime (karma earned, not karma you currently hold), or you must have 1,000 community credit. A Founding Family character also costs 5,000 karma more than it otherwise would.
The following is information about the Founding Family leaders for history consideration.
James Arkwright is 300+ years old. No Arwright characters can be older than 300. Non-negotiable.
Augustus Inigo is 70+ years old. Only demonborn ancestors can be older. None can be the firstborn son of any generation. All of Augustus’ children are with the same woman, Barbara Inigo, who he is still married to. She’s a fragile woman who most people pity due to rumors of domestic abuse.
Patricia Wilson is 70+ years old. Only supernatural members of the family can be older, and all must recognize Patricia’s leadership of the family’s holdings. All of Patricia’s children are with one man. Patricia’s husband was an angelborn from the bloodline of angelborn that are dedicated to the Wilsons’ divine bloodline.
Wilbur Salte is 70+ years old. Only supernatural members of the family can be older, and Wilbur’s a little too set in his ways to accept leadership from any supernatural members of the family who happen to be older. All of Wilbur’s children are with one woman. Rumors say she was a mermaid from the Aquarian Guard he fell in love with. She went missing after their last child, and the old man is always out on the ocean, with people saying he’s looking for her.
Mary Moore is 50+ years old. Only supernatural members of the family can be older, and all must recognize Mary as the primary caregiver of the Moore wolf pack. Her children don’t all have the same father, and she’s raised them all herself. Demigods can be possibly negotiated into the Moore bloodline if they have a connection to the moon.
Frank Reeves is 50+ years old. Only supernatural members of the family can be older, and Frank doesn’t really recognize any of them as family members unless they’re his nieces, nephews or grandchildren. All of Frank’s children were born from the same woman, an Inigo who was one of Augustus’ daughters. She’s dead now.
Peter Swann is 30+ years old. Only supernatural members of the family can be older. Peter’s time in the Raincoat Games has made him the most powerful of his family, and gives him a reckless confidence that most of his living ancestors see as insolence. Peter at this time has no children.
The Founding Families were recently changed and this helpfile may be incomplete or inaccurate.

Founding Family Heads
The founding family heads
The heads of the seven founding families are about town, and you can roleplay with them in person. Each keeps a routine. All times are Eastern, and the exact room varies from day to day.
–Augustus Inigo, the mayor: the mayor’s offices on weekdays from 9 to 5, the chapel of St. Michael on Sunday mornings, and the auditorium on Wednesday evenings.
–Frank Reeves, the sheriff: breakfast at Rosie’s Diner every day from 7 to 9, and the sheriff’s department from 9 to 7, Monday to Saturday.
–Patricia Wilson, the banker: the bank on weekdays from 9 to 4, and lunch at the Hometown Diner on Saturdays.
–Peter Swann, the editor: the newsroom on weekdays from 10 to 6, the lighthouse radio room on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and Rosie’s Diner at Saturday lunchtime.
–Wilbur Salte, the old captain: the shipping office or the lighthouse pier every morning from 5 to 11, and the pier again from 5 to 8 in the evening.
–Mary Moore: around Westhaven every day, from 8 to noon and from 2 to 8.
–James Arkwright: only now and then, late on a Friday or Saturday night.
Meeting them
–They follow the emotes and speech in the room, including say, say to and whispers meant for them. They answer once everyone present has posed, when you mention them by first name, or after a lull.
–They won’t walk out in the middle of a scene. If a player is in the room when it is time for them to move on, they stay up to half an hour longer.
–They know the members of their own family by name, and they recognise relatives who are in the room with them.
–They can’t be attacked.
Phone calls
If your character carries a founding family surname, the head of your family keeps an eye on you. When word of something you’ve done reaches them, they may phone you to talk it over, usually as a judgemental elder. That might be an event you were part of, a newsletter story about you, town news that names you, your time at the Institute, or how you’ve been carrying yourself.
–They call at most once a week, and only during their own waking hours.
–You need a phone with signal. They won’t call while you are fighting, dreaming, already on a call, or in the same room as them.
answer
–Pick up the call. You must be holding or wearing your phone. It rings for a minute.
say (message)
–Talk to them, as on any call.
hangup
–Decline a ringing call, or end one you are on.
–A missed or declined call is logged on your phone, often with a message from them.
–The call ends when they have said their piece, or after four minutes of silence. Logging off, losing signal or falling asleep drops it.
–They remember how your last call went, and they bring it up on the phone and in person.

Ghosts
Ghosts are the imperfect copies created when a character whether NPC or PC dies.
Not all deaths create ghosts and the exact mechanism for doing so is unknown,
however many ghosts become obsessed with particular aspects of their previous
life. Whether this is due to regret, being unable to let go, or simply because
of the brain-damage like condition in which all ghosts exist isn’t clear.
Each ghost is as unique as the person who spawned it. They’re unable to change,
but retain much of the special abilities they possessed in life. Though ghosts
have no concrete form and can move through otherwise solid objects, any ghost
who could not fly when they were alive, for example, is similarly bound in death
if only by the belief that flying isn’t possible. Ghosts who die while shifted
will be shifted ghosts and unable to shift back into human form. Ghosts who
were not shifted when they died will not be able to shift into their alternative
form any more.
Ghosts may not enter the Lodge or any home which has been ritually warded.
Furthermore, they are generally bound to Haven and can’t leave the city. They
can only be seen by characters with clairvoyance and only heard by characters with
clairaudience. Characters without either of these supernatural stats can detect
when a ghost enters or leaves a room with perception however and the higher that
character’s perception, the more likely they will notice the ghost’s movement.
Movement in peripheral rooms can not be detected in the same way.
Ghosts do not precisely occupy the same space as the living and interacting with
them and their world is strenuous. Though they may interact with other characters
who possess either clairaudience or clairvoyance with less restrictions, player
ghosts receive a pool of actions each day to represent their endurance. This
pool is referred to as willpower and will be visible with the score command as a
ghost. Willpower will not be depleted for actions taken which do not attempt to
breach the veil between the spirit and living spaces. Ghost walkers receive half
as much willpower to expend each day to represent their investment in the
corporeal world.
Some examples of actions that require manifestation are moving an object,
touching another character, being able to been seen or heard plainly, or
utilizing one of their supernatural powers. Verbal actions in particular are
especially difficult for ghosts and even the most powerful ghosts can only
muster concrete language in a low voice or whisper. Despite being able to
interact with their environment in limited ways, ghosts may not engage or be
engaged in combat.
Syntax: visible
For ghosts, this command toggles whether or not the ghost is attempting to be
visible in their next action. Toggling it doesn’t eat away at any specific
uses per day however while it is active, the ghost will be considered to be
manifesting as well. This will replace “something unseen” with emote and
in actions with the ghost’s name or intro depending on whether or not the
ghost is known to the viewer. A special prefix “the ghost of” is attached
before the ghost’s intro or name in the event that the viewer has at least
clairvoyance 1 and can recognize the nature of the ghost immediately.
Syntax: manifest
This toggle allows ghosts to determine whether or not the ghost will attempt
to perform an action which can be detected without supernatural aid. This is
both a safety mechanism to prevent ghosts from depleting their daily pools
unwittingly and to differentiate between the limited and unlimited version of
some commands such as say, emote, and private.
Willpower Costs:
Private 10
Emote 15
Manifestations 20
Speech 25
Note: If an action qualifies for multiple categories, it will use the greater
cost.
Some rituals such as binding, unbinding, and banishment can effect ghosts.

Goblin Market
The Goblin Market is an openly supernatural locale in Haven of unknown location
which can only be accessed by using one of several secret doors scattered
throughout the town. Shop owners can flag walls in their shop with decorate
market (direction) for a chance for the doors to appear there. Doors move
once a week and arcanists can see if a property currently has a door to the
market with shop info.
The market contains a supernatural library, as well alchemical laboratories,
engineering facilities and magical workshops for characters to use. It is
also the home of a bazaar where most supernatural goods are traded.
The goblin market is a hub of supernatural news and gossip, characters can
post IC notes to ‘market’ in order to make them visible to any characters
who’ve visited the market since they were posted.
Doors into the goblin market are only visible to and usable by characters
with society symbols or by Greystone staff.
The goblin market also contains a small bar, an area for dueling/sparring

Gods
You need Occult Knowledge of at least two to know this information.
The gods were all once men a long, long time ago. Men and women who became
so accomplished at the now lost art of fleshforming that they were able to
create for themselves new, perfect bodies. Bodies that could not be
damaged, would never age or die, truly immortal. As time passed and these
individuals continued to not age and grow stronger their influence became
all the greater. Some humans began to worship on their own, others assumed
the identity of pre-created pagan deities.
As their power and influence grew, different groups came more and more into
conflict and the world was half torn apart by the fighting between these
powerful beings. Finally they met and settled on an accord of peace and
non-interference. Creating for themselves their own pocket dimension in
which to retreat peacefully into, a realm called Asgard, Olympus or any one
of a number of other names. From there they continued to have some limited
interaction with the human world, often venturing into it in disguise or
taking it upon themselves to help certain favored individuals but mostly
remained aloof and apart from it. Masters of fleshforming they have filled
their world with various amazing and dreadful creatures, as well as
semi-human servants and vassals.
Sometimes a god will sleep with a human while visiting the human world, at
times they do this while in the visage of another, such as the human’s
lover, at other times they do not. The reasons can be as varied as falling
in love with a human to a simple lark. The chance of a god impregnating or
being impregnated by a human is low, about one tenth of the chance of a
human with a human but can happen. These offspring and their descendants are
called demigods.

It also happens to be the weak point between worlds, where creatures of myth and

Greystone
Truth through Discipline.
The Greystone Institute stands behind its iron fence at the west end of Haven: a residential college, a teaching hospital, and one of the largest psychiatric wings in New England, all answering to the same board of trustees. The brochure promises “structure for gifted and troubled young adults.” Everyone in town knows what that means.
Greystone College only takes students who have already brushed against the supernatural. It teaches them to control what they are, and it keeps very good records of what they become. The Webster Clinic shares the campus. It treats the town’s sick and holds the town’s inconvenient: the societies of Haven quietly pay to keep people there, and the Institute never asks why. Students who ask too many questions have a way of being diagnosed.
The faculty are recruited from out of state and rarely leave the grounds. They are called brothers and sisters, dress in grey, and speak of promotion as “being brought further in.” Nobody can name a trustee, and nobody can say where the money comes from.
Student life is busy by design. There are four Greek houses (see help fraternities and help sororities), six recognised student groups (help college groups), and sports teams known as the Greystone Rooks. Proctors chosen from the senior class keep order among their fellow students (help proctor), and probation keeps a student where the Institute can see them (help probation). Students still disappear from the rolls between terms. Their files are closed with the same note: transferred.
The period bells ring on the hour. At the end of the day a heavily accented voice on the intercom says the same two words. Memento mori.

griefing
Some people on the internet derive satisfaction from making others
unhappy. Maybe they feel it’s warranted and they’ve been wronged somehow or
maybe they just do it for funs. In either case this leads to behavior we
class as griefing and is considered abusive Roleplay.
For something to be considered griefing, it generally is something that is
targeted at a player, not a character. Most intelligent griefers will come
up with IC justifications or fabrications to excuse their behavior however
so discerning what is bad can be tricky. For this reason it’s our policy to
only target instances in which the behavior is clearly excessive, and at
least two staff members agree, none of which can be involved in the instance
in question with any alts etc.
Some things that would count as griefing are:
Becoming aware of a mistake in someone’s background and using that mistake
to attack the character ICly without at least first informing them OOCly of
the mistake.
Characters having grudges against other characters which carry over multiple
chars of theirs.
Characters joining in grudges held by their OOC friends.
Characters behaving in ways designed to make life miserable for an enemy
player instead of their character, e.g. spamming.
Characters attacking others for reasons that make no sense for their
character, or to extremes that make no sense given their causes.
Attempts to use the code in ICly illogical or abusive ways to attack
someone.
Examples might be spamming, getting killed by a PC only to design a new char
to go after you killer, spending all your influence to diss someone for no
rational reason or a made up reason etc.
If you have any questions on what might constitute griefing, or are worried
about something you’ve done being considered as such, please query the
staff.

habit
Syntax: habit/ habit (category) (amount/frequency)
The Habit command is used to set your characters offline habits, this serves
several purposes. Firstly it’s visible to trusted SRs when they look you
up, and can give them a good idea of what your character is about. Secondly
it helps players themselves think about what their character does and thus
what they should know.
Habits also can have code ramifications, but these are generally small and
bi-directional, so a small buff and small nerf to prevent there being any
optimum habit set.
Habits are very important for some archetypes however. Demonborns can use
them to set how often they generally give into their demonic sadism. Based
on this setting they may occasionally get a message that they were mean to
someone the day before, it’s up to them to RP what actually happened.
Vampires use it to set their feeding habits, careful is the default and
means the vampire takes care when selecting victims to choose those they
think will survive. These kill about one a year and have a small chance of
going hungry. Animal setting vampires feed on animals and bagged blood,
they never kill anyone but are less healthy and often hungry. Reckless are
vampires who don’t care about human lives, they kill about 3 a year and
never go hungry.
Vampires have a small chance when they logon to get a message about having
killed someone the day previous. It’s up to them to RP how/why this
happened. They will be tainted for this as well, but nobody will have any
real way of knowing they were responsible to aura them, unless they tell
them.
Werewolves can use the command to set what they do during the full moon.
Calmed means they take efforts to keep themselves calm, such as taking
valium on the full moon. Chained means they keep themselves locked up
during the full moon. Careless means they go about their business as usual,
and embracing means they embrace the lunacy. Depending on these factors
Werewolves have a chance to get a message about having killed or seriously
injured someone the day before, again they’ll be tainted and it’s up to them
to RP what happened.
You are free to RP accidentally killing/seriously injuring someone on your
characters even when you don’t get a message, in fact we’d encourage most
new vampires/weres to do a scene on the first time they accidentally kill
someone, as that’s a character defining moment.

hand subfactions
The Hand has three subfactions: the Peacekeeping Hand, who form the bulk of the Hand’s brutal, largely-supernatural military strength; the Whispering Hand, who are the Hand’s covert operatives; and the Whispering Hand, who deal with politicians and the public in general.
[Peacekeeping Hand]:
The Peacekeepers are the Hand’s soldiers, guards and police, called upon whenever martial might is required. They are structured similarly to a Roman legion and are the division in which humans are the least likely to be found. The Hand doesn’t rely on martial force as much as the other factions, but when they do their policy is to ensure their opponent never wants to fight them again – as such the Peacekeepers usually display extreme brutality when deployed in battle.
Common Allies : Other Hand groups, the Vampire Court of New York
Common Enemies: Order/Temple/Keepers, occasionally other Hand groups
Prefers : Higher ranked Hand members, supernaturals
Typical Tasks : Protecting important members of the Hand, protecting important locations or objects of the Hand, investigating supernatural crime, destroying or hurting the Hand’s enemies
[Shadow Hand]:
The Shadows are the Hand’s covert operatives; they handle assassinations, espionage, spying, and researching as well as R&D for technological and magical creations. Their exact numbers aren’t well known, and they pride themselves on being able to reach anyone anywhere and knowing every secret that’s worth knowing. An extremely technologically-advanced group, the Shadows are believed to have the world’s most powerful supercomputer in one of their hidden facilities.
Common Allies : Other Hand groups, criminal subfactions, CIA
Common Enemies: FBI, Order/Temple/Keepers
Prefers : Higher ranked Hand members
Typical Tasks : Spying on a target, acquiring intelligence, planting evidence, assassination, theft, research, weapons development
[Whispering Hand]:
The Whisperers are the Hand’s public face; they are its diplomats, PR agents, advertising executives, and politicians. They are dedicated to influencing the world at large to serve the agenda of the Hand, as well as handling relations with other groups. Those groups might be supernatural ones, or natural ones relating to the Hand through one of their many corporate fronts, the largest and most well-known of which is Coretech Industries.
Common Allies : Other Hand groups, FBI, Rushell Industries, Tyrell Corp
Common Enemies: Order/Temple/Keepers, the Aquarian Guard, the New World Movement
Prefers : Higher ranked Hand members
Typical Tasks : Influencing elections, influencing politicians, influencing business, hosting parties, charity work, acquiring business, making a profit, diplomacy

Harvest
Syntax: Harvest (person)
This command has to be done on a helpless target and in the medical rooms
in the basement of the Clinic. It harvests life force from the target to
store in a small metal cylinder. The target is left weaker for some time
afterwards. The process involves drawing of blood and electrical energy
through tubes and wires and produces an energized liquid like substance
which can be sold for significant amounts of society resources. The
higher tier the character the more valuable the extracted material. The
process takes about 30 minutes assuming the person doing the harvesting
in actively RPing. Characters who have been abducted are worth
significantly less, as are new characters.
Once the process is complete the cylinder can be turned into resources with
the contribute command.

–Town News can be read by everyone. It covers things like who was the most influential person in town, the town’s fashion critic and the town gossip, and says where to find the newsletter.
–Supernatural News reaches supernaturals and society members. It covers how the societies did, and every other week it adds a column on who the underworld is talking about. That column never appears in the pamphlet or on the website.

Higher Powers
Higher Powers have been superceded by Eidolons and are no longer available.
Higher Powers are considered T6 and function as a hybrid between a
StoryRunner and a more regular character.
They come in one of three types, demon, fae or god and are consequently
bound to one of those three worlds(hell, other, godrealm) and are generally
unable to leave it.
Higher powers are restricted from giving items/money similarly to SRs, they
can also be trusted with the trust command and can use most storyrunner
commands on those who have trusted them including: Swalk, home, remote privates,
Spy, Inflict/Cure, Probe, hurt/injure, world award, emit, and summon.
They cannot however kill or critically injure PCs.
Higher powers have a domain, they can use domain expand in their world
to add rooms to their domain, starting off with 5 rooms they gain more as
people RP inside of their domain, this also gives bonus newbie exp/rpexp
to further enhance themselves.
Characters can add to the domain of higher powers by using develop buildshrine.
In Haven township this will add a single room, in the wilds or inner forest a
room and all surrounding rooms, in the outer forest, a room and all rooms in
a two room radius.
Characters can also dedicate calendar events to a particular higher power,
which will extend their domain into the room where the event is taking place
for the duration.
Being inside a higher power’s domain grants trust level 1, and this increases
to 2 after 45 minutes and 3 after 90 minutes. This only happens if someone
enters the domain voluntarily. Higher powers can enter other worlds as long
as they stay within their domain via swalk. Higher powers can never enter
the domain of other higher powers.
If a higher power creates a dreamworld that will also be considered part
of their domain and they will be able to see any RP that happens in it
as long as it isn’t flagged private.
Higher powers have similar combat protections to nightmare monsters and
are even stronger in their own domain, they can be defeated but cannot be
killed by any means and will break out of any bindings almost immediately.
Higher powers cannot join societies or otherwise get involved in most regular
Haven activities such as patrols.
Higher powers can only own one house and one shop.
The ‘summoning’ ritual can be used to teleport a higher power to your location
as long as you have a ‘binding circle’ place in that location. For some time
the higher power is trapped and unable to use most of their powers or abilities.
If someone else joins the binding circle place the higher power can act against
them however and anyone in the room can use ‘break circle’ to ruin the circle
and unleash the higher power.
It is permissible to play a higher power and another high tier and/or supernatural
character at the same time. It is also permissible for your other characters to
be worshipers/servants/minions etc of your higher power but not the other way around.
That is your PC can work in the interests of your higher power, your higher power
cannot work in the interests of your PC.

Hire
The hire command can be used to pay for private investigations with money.
This command works very similarly to the order command, but hired
investigators do not have a cooldown and do not have any requirements
outside of the cash in hand.
The character being researched does not need to be targeted by coded name.
Remembered names or short descriptions will work as well, regardless if
it is a mask, although inexact keywords may return an unintended target.
If the target changes their appearance by shifting or masking, the command
will return, “Cannot be found.” Characters who are not online or not
targetable will return a blank line.
Syntax: hire investigate <target>
Cost: $200
An investigation returns the target’s basic information, such as their
full name, date of birth, address and phone number. The report also
may include any society and subfaction associations, owned properties,
and registered vehicle license plate numbers.
Once the results of an investigation has been returned to you, it is not
saved on the server. You must manually save it yourself.
Syntax: hire research <scheme number/target>
Cost: $200
If used on a scheme, this will return details about what type it is.
If used on a character, this will return what is in their public history.
Once the results of a background check have been returned to you, it is not
saved on the server. You must manually save it yourself.
RP Note: If you are using the research command to find a character’s
history for a report, note that your report should be rephrased
and not just copy/pasted.
Syntax: hire tail <target>
Syntax: scout <target>
Cost: $400
A hired tail will inconspicuously follow your target, reporting their
location so long as it is in a public area. Tails will stay on your
target for quite some time, perhaps up to half a day. In order to find
out where your target last was seen, use the scout command.
This command works very similarly to the order command, but hired
investigators do not have a cooldown and do not have any requirements
outside of the cash in hand.
The character being researched does not need to be targeted by coded name.
Remembered names or short descriptions will work as well, regardless if
it is a mask, although inexact keywords may return an unintended target.
If the target changes their appearance by shifting or masking, the command
will return, “Cannot be found.” Characters who are not online or not
targetable will return a blank line.
Syntax: hire investigate <target>
Cost: $200
An investigation returns the target’s basic information, such as their
full name, date of birth, address and phone number. The report also
may include any society and subfaction associations, owned properties,
and registered vehicle license plate numbers.
Once the results of an investigation has been returned to you, it is not
saved on the server. You must manually save it yourself.
Syntax: hire research <scheme number/target>
Cost: $200
If used on a scheme, this will return details about what type it is.
If used on a character, this will return what is in their public history.
Once the results of a background check have been returned to you, it is not
saved on the server. You must manually save it yourself.
RP Note: If you are using the research command to find a character’s
history for a report, note that your report should be rephrased
and not just copy/pasted.
Syntax: hire tail <target>
Syntax: scout <target>
Cost: $400
A hired tail will inconspicuously follow your target, reporting their
location so long as it is in a public area. Tails will stay on your
target for quite some time, perhaps up to half a day. In order to find
out where your target last was seen, use the scout command.

Hunting Patrol Events
One)
This event requires the launching character to be moving around, and has a
much much higher chance of firing if they are moving around in the forest.
When it starts the main character as well as allies drawn from those with
the hunting habit will get an opportunity to use the patrol approach command
to move towards where an especially dangerous monster has been located.
This command can only be used from inside the forest. When used it will
transport them to where the monster has been located, after a short cooldown
the monster itself will appear, roughly power matched to the strength of the
group. This monster will not approach them however, and will not disappear
for a while. Allowing the characters to RP their planning and approach
phase as long as they wish. When engaged the combat will be faster combat,
but with a long time between attacks to help grant time for RP. The monster
when slain will always have an item or organ that will be alchemically
valuable. It is then up to the players to determine who will get this
object and how.

Rank 3 and 4 require Tier 3
[Rank One]:
Trance
Syntax: trance (target)
Displays as: Does not display to target.
Places the target into a trance; this requires you to make eye contact, which eye coverings will hamper. While in a trance, the target is rendered helpless for several minutes, though most actions attempted will jerk them out of the trance and fail. Characters can, however, use the other hypnotism abilities on tranced targets, and vampires may bite them up to a mild wound. Trances usually last about five minutes. You do not manually need to place someone into a trance before using more hypnosis; it is engaged automatically. Note that this cannot be used on individuals significantly more powerful than you are.
[Rank Two]:
Amnesia
Syntax: hypnotize (target) amnesia (thing to forget)
Displays as: You forget (thing to forget), recollecting it as if it happened in a dream instead of reality.
This command makes someone remember the event described as having happened in a dream instead of in reality. While they might eventually figure out this isn’t true if confronted with others who experienced it, it is the go to tool for supernaturals wanting to cover up paranormal events.

Body Instruction
Syntax: hypnotize (target) body instruction (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (instruction)
Displays as: Your body (instruction).
This command sends an instruction that bypasses someone’s higher brain altogether to instead be carried out by their body without them intending to do so at all. It is single use and will fade after the character carries it out and uses satiate (instruction).
Body Compulsion
Syntax: hypnotize (target) body compulsion (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (instruction)
Displays as: Your body (instruction).
This command sends a compulsion that bypasses someone’s higher brain altogether; this works the same as the body instruction above, but lasts until their next sleep provided they have satiated it at least once with satiate (instruction).
Triggered Instruction
Syntax: hypnotize (target) triggered instruction (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (trigger) (instruction)
Displays as: You want to (instruction).
This command seeds a regular instruction in the target, but the instruction does not take effect until they hear, speak, or read the trigger message. You must enclose the trigger in rounded brackets () to separate it from the instruction itself.
Triggered Body Instruction
Syntax: hypnotize (target) triggered body instruction (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (trigger) (instruction)
Displays as: Your body (instruction).
This command seeds a regular body instruction in the target, but the body instruction does not take effect until they hear, speak, or read the trigger message. You must enclose the trigger in rounded brackets () to separate it from the instruction itself.
[Rank Four]:
Triggered Compulsion
Syntax: hypnotize (target) triggered compulsion (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (trigger) (instruction)
Displays as: You want to (instruction).
This command seeds a compulsion in the target, but the compulsion does not take effect until they hear, speak, or read the trigger message. You must enclose the trigger in rounded brackets () to separate it from the instruction itself.

Lock Compulsion
Syntax: hypnotize (target) lock (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (instruction)
Displays as: Does not display to target.
This command locks an already-present compulsion, making it so that it will never fade until it is unlocked. It cannot be used on someone protected by Sanctuary.
Unlock Compulsion
Syntax: hypnotize (target) unlock (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three)
Displays as: Does not display to target.
This command attempts to unlock a previously locked instruction in someone’s mind. If the pressures are correctly selected, the compulsion will fade. If not, it will backlash and hurt the person attempting the unlocking.
The wording of the compulsion is not required in order to unlock it. The correct order of pressures, however, IS required.

This command attempts to send someone’s mind a compulsion that will stick with them until their next sleep, provided they have satiated it at least once with satiate (instruction).
Body Instruction
Syntax: hypnotize (target) body instruction (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (instruction)
Displays as: Your body (instruction).
This command sends an instruction that bypasses someone’s higher brain altogether to instead be carried out by their body without them intending to do so at all. It is single use and will fade after the character carries it out and uses satiate (instruction).
Body Compulsion
Syntax: hypnotize (target) body compulsion (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (instruction)
Displays as: Your body (instruction).
This command sends a compulsion that bypasses someone’s higher brain altogether; this works the same as the body instruction above, but lasts until their next sleep provided they have satiated it at least once with satiate (instruction).
Triggered Instruction
Syntax: hypnotize (target) triggered instruction (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (trigger) (instruction)
Displays as: You want to (instruction).
This command seeds a regular instruction in the target, but the instruction does not take effect until they hear, speak, or read the trigger message. You must enclose the trigger in rounded brackets () to separate it from the instruction itself.
Triggered Body Instruction
Syntax: hypnotize (target) triggered body instruction (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (trigger) (instruction)
Displays as: Your body (instruction).
This command seeds a regular body instruction in the target, but the body instruction does not take effect until they hear, speak, or read the trigger message. You must enclose the trigger in rounded brackets () to separate it from the instruction itself.

Displays as: You want to (instruction).
This command seeds a compulsion in the target, but the compulsion does not take effect until they hear, speak, or read the trigger message. You must enclose the trigger in rounded brackets () to separate it from the instruction itself.
Triggered Body Compulsion
Syntax: hypnotize (target) triggered body instruction (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (trigger) (instruction)
Displays as: Your body (instruction).
This command seeds a body compulsion in the target, but the body compulsion does not take effect until they hear, speak, or read the trigger message. You must enclose the trigger in rounded brackets () to separate it from the instruction itself.
Lock Compulsion
Syntax: hypnotize (target) lock (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (instruction)
Displays as: Does not display to target.
This command locks an already-present compulsion, making it so that it will never fade until it is unlocked. It cannot be used on someone protected by Sanctuary.
Unlock Compulsion
Syntax: hypnotize (target) unlock (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three)
Displays as: Does not display to target.
This command attempts to unlock a previously locked instruction in someone’s mind. If the pressures are correctly selected, the compulsion will fade. If not, it will backlash and hurt the person attempting the unlocking.
The wording of the compulsion is not required in order to unlock it. The correct order of pressures, however, IS required.

Hypnotism Mechanics
Whenever someone attempts to use either hypnosis or psychic influence on
a target they will have to input a list of three pressures as well as the
message to be followed.
The target will then see a message about the imprint, including the message
to be followed, they have about five minutes to either resist or accept
before they will accept automatically.
If they resist they need to enter the three pressures most likely to make
their character succumb to that imprint. These two lists are then compared,
in the case of hypnosis compulsions if the hypnotizer has perfectly
predicted the resistance imprints the imprint will automatically succeed and
will become locked, permanently sealing in place until someone unlocks it.
Otherwise the target will be given a cost in life force to resist the
imprint, this cost is higher the better the hypnotizer was able to predict
their vulnerabilities. They can then either accept the imprint, or resist
it and pay the cost in life force. If they do this the compulsion
backlashes and hurts the person attempting to influence them, charging them
about half the lifeforce it cost the target in return.
Other factors can also influence this cost, such as vampire blood, siren
songs, being angelborn, or being drunk. Generally psychic influence is much
more affected by these secondary factors than hypnosis is.
For these reasons characters who are particularly successful at influencing
minds need to be adept at understanding and or manipulating the psychology
of their targets, and skilled at picking compulsions that won’t be resisted
at any cost by the target’s player.
While in Haven when the Sanctuary spell is up no attempts to supernaturally
control or influence someone to violate sanctuary even against the
unprotected or themselves will fizzle. If the imprint covers several things
and only some of them are against Sanctuary those others will continue to
work and hold as per normal.

Imprinted Roleplay
[Rationalization and Self-Awareness]
A person who has been imprinted is never aware that the desires or feelings he has been given are not his own. He will always rationalize why he wants or feels this way and, after the imprint has run its course, why he no longer does.
A person who has been imprinted does not act in a way that is robotic or otherwise out of character and it should be extremely difficult for another character to know he has been imprinted even if those characters know one another intimately. The new desires and feelings are integrated into a person’s personality so completely that he can rationalize any attempt by others to suggest that he’s been manipulated in some way, even against massive evidence. He feels entirely certain that he is still himself and all his desires and feelings are his own.
[Conflicting Imprints]
If a character has two or more imprints that conflict with one another, the resulting RP should make this clear to some extent. If bringing it across in RP isn’t feasible or the number of conflicting imprints becomes too great, it is permissible to RP each as being weakened by the resulting confusion along with some general emotional turmoil or something similar such as a serious headache.
[Discovering Imprints]
When and after being under the influence of hypnosis or psychic persuasion, a person has no awareness that they are being influenced or that they’ve been in a trance. If an imprint is accepted the imprinted person has no awareness that they are under another’s influence with the exception of ‘body’ imprints, in which case the character is aware that their own body is moving or behaving in abnormal ways that are outside of their control but not necessarily how or why or who might be responsible.
If an imprint is rejected, the character has no knowledge that any influence was attempted, and certainly no knowledge of what the rejected imprint pressured them to do. External observers may recognize attempts at hypnosis, but not psychic persuasion. While it is acceptable to believe that an acquaintance behaving strangely may be under the influence of mind control, your character should almost never be certain of it and should probably be wrong more often than they are right.
Tips and Notes:
* If you’re on the fence if you should follow an imprint or not, follow it.
* If you think an inhibition or competing desire would stop you following an imprint, ask yourself if that inhibition or competing desire has come out clearly in your roleplay previously. If it hasn’t, you’re on pretty sketchy ground.
* If you decide not to follow an imprint, it’s usually a good idea to at least show through your roleplay that you’re thinking about following it or tempted to follow it.
* Being “strong willed” or anything similar is a completely invalid reason for not following an imprint.
* Having been imprinted several times before or being able to do mind control yourself is not a valid reason to be aware of mind control or be more resistant to it.
* If an imprint is something that your character normally wants to do and sometimes does, it’s unreasonable to have additional resistance to it.

Influence
Influence is a resource mechanic representing your character’s sway with
the general NPC population in the game, and can be used for a number of
social mechanics in-game.
Influence is mostly earned by roleplaying with other characters. You will
earn a small amount of influence whenever you roleplay with someone.
However, most influence is earned by other people roleplaying with you.
Whenever you’re roleplaying with someone and especially when they
specifically target or speak to you you’ll earn some influence based on
their social rank, as well as, how much influence they’ve given out
recently. In essence, the more important and famous someone is and the more
attention they pay you relative to everyone else, the more influence you
earn.
Influence can be used to praise or diss someone, to start rumors, to run
schemes or found societies. It is capped at 100k.
There are several subtypes of influence that can be earned in other ways,
but each of them have more restricted uses and none of them can be
transferred to other people for the use of schemes.
Society Influence
Society Influence is gained based on your society standing and can only
be used for loyalty praises and disses for other people, and not yourself.
This is capped at 10k.
Scheme Influence
Scheme influence can only be used for running schemes or creating societies.
It can be gained by having contact stats whose jobs are set to ‘planning’
and can be gained once per day. It is capped at 100k.

Innate Powers
Innate abilities are abilities that help further define your character’s specific archetype, particularly in a racial sense. While there are no tier restrictions on innate abilities, any given character may only possess a single one; training one removes the option to train the others. All these abilities have their own helpfile, but here is a short summary of each archetype’s innates for quick reference.

Demigod: A passive demigod; you will gain access to higher stamina and perception stats.

Institute Staff
Tier One Archetype
This archetype represents the staff of the Greystone Institute: the brothers and sisters who teach in the college, run the clinic, and keep the files. They are almost always recruited from outside Haven and have few ties to the town. At creation the archetype is listed as Greystone Staff.
Staff can take a job at the institute, use the college and clinic staff commands, and take additional points in the relevant stats. Staff who rise high enough in the institute are brought further in, and they sleep less easily for it.

Instruct
Syntax: instruct (npc) (instruction)
Syntax: instruct (npc) (lines) (instruction)
Storyrunners can use this to direct an AI-driven NPC, such as one of the founding family heads. It must be in the room with you, and you must be storyrunning.
The NPC works your instruction into its next response, in its own voice. The instruction is used once, then cleared. If you give a number of lines first, that response is kept to about that many lines.
Example: instruct augustus 2 Warn them, politely, to stay away from the chapel.

Intel
Characters generate intel as they engage in activities such as contributing resources to a society, setting up operations, going on adventures, roleplaying in dreamworlds or non-earth worlds or with higher powers. This represents your character learning valuable information about other worlds, society machinations and so on.
How much intel is generated is affected by a few factors, most notably the character’s secrecy.
At 5k intel society characters get an extra $50 each week in their pay cheque, at 10k their contributes to their society are worth 20% more and give a buff to all contributes to that society for the next week. At 8k intel characters are considered reckless and thus easier to capture.
How much intel a character has can be seen by investigating them as long as they have at least 1000.
Characters when being victimized by a society character may choose the option to ‘Give Intel’ as a victimized response, this will transform all their intel into resources for the character victimizing them and can also provide benefits for the victimizer’s society/character secrecy. Victimized characters who do not give intel will have the value of their intel reduced, but not by as much, and it wll not turn into resources for their victimizer.
Characters can give their intel to another with give intel (person)

introstory
An old man slides into the booth opposite you, an arthritic hand shaking
slightly as it neatly sets down a pair of simple sunglasses on the table in
front of him. He gazes at you with rheumy, unseeing eyes, a sardonic smile
crinkling his weathered features. He holds up one hand to forestall your
protest before it can be properly voiced. “No, no, I know. You ain’t got
any cash on you,” he says before his gnarled fingers entwine on the
tabletop. “That ain’t why I sat down.” He shifts his weight to get more
comfortable before continuing. “See, I got a talent– a talent for knowing
things, you might say. You’re off to Haven, ain’t you? You got that energy
about you, all vibrant and eager; ready to make your mark on the world,
yeah? Before you head on off, though, maybe there’s a piece of advice I
could part with. Help see you on your way.” He allows a significant pause
before nodding to himself.
“The first thing you gotta understand about this world, kid, is the lie.”
He starts before abruptly grilling you with, “Know how much sugar is in a
cheeseburger from Mickey Dee’s?” A beat to let you answer is offered before
he does so for you. “Close to two teaspoons. Two teaspoons in a burger!
That seem right to you?” His head gives a slow, world-weary shake of pure
disappointment. “But see, that’s all part of the lie. TV ain’t no better.
You switch it on and what do you see? Sitcom, sitcom, sitcom, all making
the same jokes. ‘Oh, what an awkward situation our whacky protagonists have
found themselves in now!’” His tone is mocking and his expression dour.
“Maybe you see some other show in between but never fear, the good guys
will always catch the villain… or it’ll be some reality show. That’s part
of the lie too. You wanna know reality?” He shifts a little closer, his
voice dropping to a conspiratorial rasp. “You see, the lie is all about
keeping humanity complacent– keeping them full of sugar and laughter and
daydreams so they don’t cause too much fuss, don’t put up too much of a
fight, never peel back the skin of the world to see the writhing
infestation beneath. The truth is… in this world, there’s only one rule:
everyone pays.
“You think your neighbour who won the lottery got lucky? Not at all, kid.
She made a deal with a Fae for that bit of luck. You think your president
got elected by being popular? Think again. He’s got pacts and deals going
back decades.” He sniffs loudly and gives a roll of his shoulders.
“Politicians being corrupt don’t surprise anybody too much, though. That
self-made business man on the other side of town, rich and prosperous and
living the American dream? He’s in the pocket of criminals or demons– or
both. Your sports hero? He probably ain’t even human. If he is, he’s made
deals or shoots himself up to compete. Maybe not with anything science can
detect, but something all the same. What about that movie star you used to
fantasize about when you were all by yourself in your room as a teenager?
You think they got famous through acting talent?” The cynical man snorts
derisively. “Kid, the Fae own Hollywood. The things they had to do for
their big break… not even a lifetime supply of cocaine is going to block
the memories of it, believe me. Getting things through hard work or talent?
That’s just all part of the lie, kid. The truth is this. You want something
in the world, you gotta pay for it. You gotta pay with your humanity and
with your very soul.” He emphasizes this point with a jab of one arthritic
finger towards your chest.
“But I can tell I ain’t deterred you. You got that fire in your eyes. Hell,
maybe I even turned you on a little– got you a little excited. Maybe
you’re happy to give up your humanity. Eager, even. Ready to stop being
stepped on and start doing the stepping, that it? If so, you might just fit
in real well, but I gotta warn you: lots of people tried to climb to the
top of that ladder before and ended up falling into the pit instead. It
ain’t just the people above you kicking you in the head you gotta watch out
for; it’s the people below you grabbing your ankles too.” He sits back in
the booth, evidently satisfied with his diatribe. After a moment of
thought, though, he shifts in place and observes you closely. “Then again,
maybe that fire in your eyes means something else. Does it mean you think
you’re gonna change things, stand up for what’s right, be a hero? Since you
can’t change anything without some kind of power, though, the question
becomes… how much of a monster are you going to become to fight the other
monsters? How long until you can’t even tell the difference between you and
them? How long until there’s another energetic young kid with fire in their
eyes painting a mental bullseye on your forehead and trying to take you out
to make the world a better place? If you’re looking for someone else to
protect you, you’re more naive than I can help. In this world, the only
person who’s going to save you from a monster is a bigger, badder monster.”
He stretches languidly, joints popping, before a tremulous hand reaches out
to reclaim his glasses. Sliding out of the booth, he snorts, “Well, I don’t
want to keep you. You got that big destiny to fulfill and everything.” A
wry chuckle is voiced as he turns for the door, but he stops at the last
moment and peers back in your direction. “Hmm. Let me make your choices
plain, kid, in case you ain’t followed me real well so far. You pretty much
only got two of them, so it should be simple.” He waits a moment before
continuing as if to be sure he has your attention. “You can bend over for
the monsters. Spread your cheeks, ‘yes sir’, ‘no sir’, ‘whatever you say,
sir’– all eager and compliant. Maybe you’ll even learn to like it. Or…
you can struggle, fight, all that jazz. But let me tell you, kid. The
monsters? They love it when you struggle.”

You switch it on and what do you see? Sitcom, sitcom, sitcom, all making
the same jokes. ‘Oh, what an awkward situation our whacky protagonists have
found themselves in now!’” His tone is mocking and his expression dour.
“Maybe you see some other show in between but never fear, the good guys
will always catch the villain… or it’ll be some reality show. That’s part
of the lie too. You wanna know reality?” He shifts a little closer, his
voice dropping to a conspiratorial rasp. “You see, the lie is all about
keeping humanity complacent– keeping them full of sugar and laughter and
daydreams so they don’t cause too much fuss, don’t put up too much of a
fight, never peel back the skin of the world to see the writhing
infestation beneath. The truth is… in this world, there’s only one rule:
everyone pays.
“You think your neighbour who won the lottery got lucky? Not at all, kid.
She made a deal with a Fae for that bit of luck. You think your president
got elected by being popular? Think again. He’s got pacts and deals going
back decades.” He sniffs loudly and gives a roll of his shoulders.
“Politicians being corrupt don’t surprise anybody too much, though. That
self-made business man on the other side of town, rich and prosperous and
living the American dream? He’s in the pocket of criminals or demons– or
both. Your sports hero? He probably ain’t even human. If he is, he’s made
deals or shoots himself up to compete. Maybe not with anything science can
detect, but something all the same. What about that movie star you used to
fantasize about when you were all by yourself in your room as a teenager?
You think they got famous through acting talent?” The cynical man snorts
derisively. “Kid, the Fae own Hollywood. The things they had to do for
their big break… not even a lifetime supply of cocaine is going to block
the memories of it, believe me. Getting things through hard work or talent?
That’s just all part of the lie, kid. The truth is this. You want something
in the world, you gotta pay for it. You gotta pay with your humanity and
with your very soul.” He emphasizes this point with a jab of one arthritic
finger towards your chest.
“But I can tell I ain’t deterred you. You got that fire in your eyes. Hell,
maybe I even turned you on a little– got you a little excited. Maybe
you’re happy to give up your humanity. Eager, even. Ready to stop being
stepped on and start doing the stepping, that it? If so, you might just fit
in real well, but I gotta warn you: lots of people tried to climb to the
top of that ladder before and ended up falling into the pit instead. It
ain’t just the people above you kicking you in the head you gotta watch out
for; it’s the people below you grabbing your ankles too.” He sits back in
the booth, evidently satisfied with his diatribe. After a moment of
thought, though, he shifts in place and observes you closely. “Then again,
maybe that fire in your eyes means something else. Does it mean you think
you’re gonna change things, stand up for what’s right, be a hero? Since you
can’t change anything without some kind of power, though, the question
becomes… how much of a monster are you going to become to fight the other
monsters? How long until you can’t even tell the difference between you and
them? How long until there’s another energetic young kid with fire in their
eyes painting a mental bullseye on your forehead and trying to take you out
to make the world a better place? If you’re looking for someone else to
protect you, you’re more naive than I can help. In this world, the only
person who’s going to save you from a monster is a bigger, badder monster.”
He stretches languidly, joints popping, before a tremulous hand reaches out
to reclaim his glasses. Sliding out of the booth, he snorts, “Well, I don’t
want to keep you. You got that big destiny to fulfill and everything.” A
wry chuckle is voiced as he turns for the door, but he stops at the last
moment and peers back in your direction. “Hmm. Let me make your choices
plain, kid, in case you ain’t followed me real well so far. You pretty much
only got two of them, so it should be simple.” He waits a moment before
continuing as if to be sure he has your attention. “You can bend over for
the monsters. Spread your cheeks, ‘yes sir’, ‘no sir’, ‘whatever you say,
sir’– all eager and compliant. Maybe you’ll even learn to like it. Or…
you can struggle, fight, all that jazz. But let me tell you, kid. The
monsters? They love it when you struggle.”

IP checks
When your account first connects, the game has your connection scored by an outside service for the risk that it is a VPN, a proxy or a bot. The score applies to your whole account.
–A normal score: no restrictions.
–A high score: you can play, but you have no access to channels, and you are reminded of this from time to time.
–A very high score: you cannot leave character creation, and a character already in the game is logged out. A connection that scores this high stays flagged, so checking again from it will not help.
iprecheck
–If your account is restricted, connect from a regular, non-mobile connection and use this to have that connection scored. The check runs in the background and the result follows shortly. It can only ever improve your account’s score, never make it worse. If the new score is normal, all restrictions are lifted and you will not need to do this again.
–You can use it once a day. If the check itself could not be completed, you can try again in an hour.
If you cannot clear the check, contact the administration for help.

Jumping
Like climbing, jumping works in the direction you are facing, which is the direction you last moved in.
jump down
–Anyone can do this. Face an open edge with a drop beyond it, such as the edge of a roof, and jump. The game looks down for the first landing, as far as three floors below, or eight if you have Super Jumping. It only lets you jump if the landing is safe: water, or solid ground no more than two floors down. If the ground is further down than that, you can only jump when there is water ahead of you that you could reach. A ceiling or floor in the way stops the jump.
jump
–Super Jumping only. Leap up onto the building you are facing, to the same kind of place you could climb to: an open window, a balcony, a gap in the wall, a roof. It can be no more than three floors above you. A super jump takes about two seconds a floor, and you cannot fall.
When you cannot jump
–While pinned or helpless, or in a fist fight.
–Unless you are standing.
–As a prisoner, or while something is stopping you from moving.
–While you are already travelling, climbing or jumping.
–As a ghost.

Karma
Karma is a game resource mostly used to create higher tier characters and
also to increase your experience or roleplay experience cap. It is
generally only given out for activities that add to the story of the game
world such as StoryRunning.
Personal Karma:
Personal karma is gained just by regular roleplaying. It builds up on your
account, but it stops building once it reaches 45,000 less whatever
personal karma the character you are playing has already spent. Personal
karma can only be spent on creating a character, or on changing a
character’s archetype or modifier, and any one character can use at most
25,000 personal karma. It cannot be spent with karma buy.
Beyond this the only ways to obtain karma are to use a storyrunner,
specifically to run encounters, plots, scheme thwart attempts or scenes in
the wilds. Or to fill in character feedback surveys, and in some cases,
create operations.
Syntax: change archetype (archetype) (modifier/none)
change modifier (modifier)
karma buy (xpcap/rpxpcap/experience/rpexperience/influence/respect/cash) (karma to spend)
Returning karma:
When a character is rerolled, the karma they spent goes into your karma
bank, which returns it slowly over time roleplaying. Earning karma makes
it return much quicker. Only non personal karma spent will return, and the
bank never holds more than the karma your account has earned plus 5,000.
Karma spent on experience or roleplay experience does not return; of karma
spent on influence or respect, 80% returns, and of karma spent on cash, 60%.
Society Leaders and Storyrunners can grant awards to players which increases
their rate of karma gain until they’ve earned a set amount and can help make
accruing karma easier. Impressing your Storyrunners with your roleplaying
and impressing your society leaders with your usefulness are the best ways
to obtain these awards.
Conversions:
XP/RPXP Cap: 25 per 1 karma spent.
XP: 50 per 1 karma spent.
RPXP: 10 per 1 karma spent.
Influence: 50 per 1 karma spent. You cannot hold more than 100,000 influence.
Respect: 5 per 1 karma spent.
Cash: $0.50 per 1 karma spent.

Life Force
Life force represents your character’s overall health and vitality.
Almost everything is affected by life force, it makes you do more damage in
combat and take less, it improves the powers of your spells, it makes you
look more attractive, it improves your influence pools and it makes you earn
more money. It is represented as a value out of 100% and will every day
move closer towards 100%.
Characters can lose lifeforce by being wounded, harvested or fed upon by
vampires or psychic predators. They can also expend it to power magical
objects or spells or some other supernatural abilities.
Character’s physically older than 60 have reduced lifeforce, as do
vampires in the daytime, supernaturals without either sanctuary protection
or a strong society, those who engage in more dream sex than real sex and
maimed characters.
Characters with a demonic pact who have not engaged in much antagonism will
have lower life force, as will those with a relic who’ve lost their relic,
exsanguinating vampires who haven’t exsanguinated anyone in some time and
lunacy embracing werewolves who haven’t roamed free under the full moon in
some time.
Werewolves in general have higher life force on the full moon unless they
drug themselves, and lower on the new moon.
Life force can go above 100% through supernatural means.
Tier 2 characters who are not in a society and not vassled have a 3 percent penalty.
Tier 3 characters who are notin a society or vassled havea 10 percent penalty.
If a character is taken below 75% life force they may pass out for a time, or if taken below 60% may even die.

Characters can lose lifeforce by being wounded, harvested or fed upon by
vampires or psychic predators. They can also expend it to power magical
objects or spells or some other supernatural abilities.
Character’s physically older than 60 have reduced lifeforce, as do
vampires in the daytime, supernaturals without either sanctuary protection
or a strong society, those who engage in more dream sex than real sex and
maimed characters.
Characters with a demonic pact who have not engaged in much antagonism will
have lower life force, as will those with a relic who’ve lost their relic,
exsanguinating vampires who haven’t exsanguinated anyone in some time and
lunacy embracing werewolves who haven’t roamed free under the full moon in
some time.
Werewolves in general have higher life force on the full moon unless they
drug themselves, and lower on the new moon.
Life force can go above 100% through supernatural means.
Tier 2 characters who are not in a society and not vassled have a 3 percent penalty.
Tier 3 characters who are notin a society or vassled havea 10 percent penalty.
If a character is taken below 75% life force they may pass out for a time, or if taken below 60% may even die.

Lodge
The Lodge is one of the oldest buildings in town, many believe it was
built even before the town itself. It was built as a safe-haven, somewhere
where people of any affiliation could go to relax or unwind. The logs from
which it’s built come from an ancient mystical forest and the building
itself is enchanted with many powerful spells. Weapons disappear from view
inside, almost any violence is impossible and fatigue just lifts off of
people. Over the decades it has changed to keep up with the times, today it
most closely resembles a diner or perhaps a bar in the evenings. It’s open
24/7 and nobody knows exactly who the owners are.

Lore Primer
The most important thing to understand about Haven lore is that it is a
pseudo scientific, logical take on the supernatural. That means that the
supernatural doesn’t overtly contradict known science such as evolution or
the laws of physics. Issues like creation of energy are dealt with through
drawing it from another dimension etc.
It’s a world that’s largely built upon our own, the fae, gods and most big
demons all used to be humans, before fleshforming themselves into other
things, and retain their human core. The monsters and creatures were all
made by these beings, for some purpose.
We took this approach for two reasons, the first is simple credibility, the
second is to make it easier to access for a player. When encountering a
monster you can use your reason to think about who made this, and why and
from what to make intelligent guesses about it’s characteristics, when
dealing with gods etc you can apply some of your understanding of human
psychology similarly. This allows players and characters to think about
challenges and discuss them intelligently, without needing huge amounts of
lore.
This system and the lore of fleshforming can allow for a huge variety of
stories, and give a lot of creative freedom to SRs, however it also can make
it challenging to copy stories directly from mythology or fantasy settings.
Since things need to make some sort of sense, and often issues of folklore
etc, do not.
Regarding death and religion, the game deliberately doesn’t prove or
disprove the existence of higher gods, if humans have a soul there’s no
proof of it, and it goes off to wherever it goes when someone dies. There
is however proof of psychic transference, which is to say minds or parts of
minds being copied or replicated into other things. Ghosts are one such
phenomena, where a part of someone’s mind transfers into a psychic
non-physical medium when they die. It is never a perfect copy however,
memories will be missing, their behaviour may be odd or particularly
fixated, much like someone who has sustained some brain damage. Vampires
are another instance, a near perfect transference of their mind from their
brain to a psychic medium inside their blood.
Strictly speaking, resurrection is impossible, but beings capable of
fleshforming can remake individuals. Much like ghosts the mind of the new
individual is imperfect, often missing memories or having flaws or oddities
in their behaviour, they’re remade more accurately the more information the
being has on them, such as their recent body, or memories of people who knew
them, or a ghost of them, but it’s never ever a perfect remake.
People brought back may be brought back different from how they
originally were on purpose as well.

lorestick
The lorestick is a tool that can be applied by staff when they feel that the actions of your character are contrary to the established lore. The lorestick will give you a message about what actions are in question, and will apply a life force penalty for the duration. You will also be cheaper to commit.
The staff setting the lorestick determines the length of time it will last and how much lifeforce is penalised.

availability or are visible on where, the second string appearing when you have
sufficient enough supernatural power over the target. Characters need to be

hypnotism to use supernatural lures at all. Supernatural lures also cost 1%
life force to use if successful.

Magic
There are many types of magic in the world, only a few are very well
documented.
Sorcery
Basically sorcery consists of drawing on a source of energy and directing
and shaping it. What this source of energy is exactly is unclear, it’s
pretty well known that it is extra dimensional however. It’s often called
simply ‘The source’ or ‘The Ocean’ some believe it’s an ocean of energy on
some other world, others believe it’s some kind of god.
Opening a way to this energy allows it to flood through, opening the way
further, it can then be transformed into other forms of energy and directed
as the wielder wishes.
Humans are not usually capable of this type of magic.
Rituals
Rituals are a type of magic that can be performed by almost anyone. All
they require is access to the proper instructions which every society
library should have. They also require specific ingredients however, in
particular they require human blood.
It’s believed that rituals function by draining a form of energy from this
blood, which is then fed through the ritual to spirits who carry out the
request. Exactly what these spirits are or where they come from is unclear.
Gate Magic
Gate Magic is another type of ritual, and again anyone with access to a
society library should be able to perform it. However it doesn’t invoke
spirits or take blood, rather it draws power from the Gate to enact it’s
effects, most usually those effects are related to the Gate itself, such as
opening bridges to other worlds. A benevolent practitioner could use it to
end a drought through making a bridge to the plane of water, while a
malicious one could flood the world with a similar bridge. Luckily gate
magic takes some time to perform and is usually detectable by seers so it’s
unlikely anybody could end the world without people noticing and trying to
stop them.

–Makeup makes you more attractive. Heavy makeup only does more than medium between sunset and sunrise. In daylight, the two count the same.
–A woman who wears no makeup at all is a little less attractive for it.
–If you wear the same amount of makeup around other people all the time, they get used to it and it counts for less. Wearing less for a while, or none, lets that wear off.
–Makeup changes how old you look. Characters of 15 or younger look older, the more so the heavier the makeup. From 20 on, makeup makes you look younger.
–Medium or heavy makeup with masculine, feminine or androgynous makes everyone else see you as that sex until you go back to light makeup or take it off. See help gender presentation.
–If you have written makeup descriptions with ddesc and left them active, each one shows only while you are wearing that level of makeup (see help ddesc).

Making Objects
Syntax: buy (list number)
Syntax: customize (object keyword)
Objects cannot be created from scratch in Haven. Instead, they must be bought
from a shop. There are both player-run shops and NPC-run shops located in town.
In order to customize an object, you must be in a room with a vendor who sells
the same type of item, with the exception of thing, food or drink type objects.
Objects must have a value of $.01 or greater when initially created, or, in the
case of starting gear, customized. Although it is technically possible to
create a valuable object and price it extremely cheaply, many roleplayers will
treat an object which does not have a correct value assigned as a cheap, fake
item. As Haven is set in a world very similar to our own, going by real life
prices is a good idea.
There are several types of objects that cannot be customized and must be bought
from the Hunt and Hook. These are ability-centric items such as bandages,
bolas, caltrops, etc.

Mastermind
Masterminds are the PCs who are driving a particular storyline. If the
storyline reaches a high enough level of completion with the mastermind
being used heavily in most of the activity that has powered it, the
storyline can use two different types of finale: ascension and tyranny.
Ascension allows the mastermind to move up a tier by completing a
crisis event and spending karma, allowing them to bypass normal tier
restrictions. Ascended PCs are considered one tier higher than normal
for all purposes, including how monstrous/villainous they are.
Tyranny allows the mastermind to become a Tyrant of Haven, gaining huge
powers over all other PCs, including the ability to use breaksanctuary
on anyone, or have people detained at very low cost. Tyrants can be
overcome with a special type of operation called ‘psychic.’ This
operation is not based on faction, with characters instead signing up
for or against the target. The target gains a bunch of soldiers to defend
themselves, but if they win the amount of soldiers they gain goes down
by half each successive attempt.
PCs wishing to reach ascension or tyrant must be featured as a mastermind
in at least 3-4 of the plots involved in the storyline, and the storyline
must reach 200%. If ascending, they will ascend as soon as the crisis
scheme fires. NPCs can serve as the “go between” for the mastermind and
the PCs on the plots, but the mastermind should not be obfuscated in any way.
PCs that have been put into stasis can still be used as masterminds.
Operations and encounters can also have a mastermind set, if the activity
in question makes sense for the storyline.

They also project a little static with his power, which causes them to show up as blurs on cameras when using it.
Mechanically, when using a memory cloak characters won’t be seen to move or in room lists in public rooms. They will be targetable if they draw attention to themselves, but will appear as nondescript men or women. People who try to look for them too often however will lose the ability to spot them. Supernaturally aware characters will be able to recognize a memory cloak after they’ve drawn attention to themselves.
Looking at someone under a memory cloak gives you about a fifty percent chance to recall one detail about them the next time you sleep, but there’s also a high chance you could end up remembering a detail wrong.
Memory cloak won’t work if the character stands out in some dramatic way, such as being masked, naked, or in a non-human shape.

Menstrual Cycle
Menstruation in Haven is a coded reality. All females who are no older than 50 will be subject to messages periodically. The undead are exempt. The messages are intended to give the player an indication of their cycle though most of the effects are hidden. Any more detail is at the discretion of each individual player as is how they bring their cycle into their roleplay.
Cycles have a high degree of potential variability, but are weighted in such a way that an average cycle is far more likely than a short or long one. Ovulation, which too is variable, occurs on day 14 of an average 28 day cycle. Menstruation is suspended upon a character becoming pregnant and will resume sometime after the pregnancy comes to its natural conclusion or is terminated prematurely.

Meta Shifting
Levels: 0, 4
Requirements: Fae Knight Focus 4 or Primal Focus 2
This stat conveys the ability for people to have access to some of the
powers and strengths of their animal form while in human shape.
Metashifters are also often mildly physically influenced and moderately
psychologically influenced by their primary animal form. While this won’t
extend to developing non human physical characteristics it may mean their
hair color matches the fur color of their animal form, or that it grows
faster or hardier. It’s also likely to affect the way they move or carry
themselves. Psychologically they’re likely to adapt similar patterns to
their animal form when it comes to base instincts like aggression, diet or
sex. Carniviorous metashifters may develop a taste for heavily meat based
diets and rawer meats, they’d also prone to violence and stalking.
Metashifters whose animal forms have mating cycles will find themselves
influenced by those same cycles and so on. It’s very common for predatory
metashifters to have a history of violent crime.
Skills will be raised to at or near the level of the shifter’s
primary form if they were lower than it.
Skills Impacted: Acrobatics, Acute Sight, Acute Hearing, Acute Smell, Night Vision, Running, Strength, Dexterity, Stamina, Fast Reflexes, Ranged Defence, Perception, Stealth and Melee Attack.

Commands:
make minion

order minion (attack/follow/atwill)
Used to command your minion whilst engaged in combat
Minion info
See information about your minion.
To summon a minion, make a custom attack with the msummon type and use it in combat, minions generally take around 2 rounds in combat to arrive. You can only summon one minion per fight, unless you possess either the Call of the Grave or the Call of Nature legendary power.
Each rank of the minions stat allows you to spend 150,000 combat experience on your minion. Additionally, every point invested into the Arcane Focus stat allows you to invest an additional 10 points into the minion’s defenses. Note that without the Elemental Spirits power, your minion will only have the capability to make melee attacks.
When a minion’s defenses fail, the spirit flees and the minion goes back to being a regular animal or the object it was before. A minion whose master has died, however, will remain in combat.

Modifier
Character archetypes may be additionally customised with the use of one modifier, which will either reduce their tier by 1 step or increase their tier by one step. A character may only have one modifier at a time, but through the course of play may buy off a negative modifier for 25,000 karma and then purchase a positive modifier for an additional 25,000 karma. Not all modifiers are available to all archetypes, however; if you would like to confirm that the modifier you are interested is available for your chosen archetype, please see the individual helpfiles referenced below. The possible modifiers are:
Negative Modifiers: Addicted, Injured, Ill, Crippled, Disfigured, Cursed, Mentally Ill, Catatonic, Turned Youth
Positive Modifiers: Relic Holder, Fleshformed, Demonic Pact Holder, Chemically Augmented, Scientifically Augmented, Unliving, Lunacy Embracer, Exsanguinating
Each modifier has its own helpfile, such as help demonic pact holder.
Changing your modifier laterally, without adjusting tier, for example going from Addicted to Mentally Ill, will cost 1,000 karma.

Monster Guests
Monster guests are a type of character that represents monsters from
the nightmare plane who’ve begun to manifest. These creatures are much more
powerful than regularly PCs, with 500, 000 exp/rp to spend per tier of their
creator and almost no limits on what stats they can buy. They cannot take
more than 80 damage per round with the rest going to stagger, there are
limits on how much stagger can impact them, they cannot be affected by most
conventional stuns.
Those 10 feet tall or larger have further reduced stagger effects and double
the defense pool of others but move much slower and cannot enter indoor
areas. Monsters earn karma for injuring and killing PCs, although there are
some limits to this to prevent abuse. Monsters begin being stuck in the
nightmare, and cannot nightmare pull anyone else into it.
If a monster gets to a certain number of hours they can leave the nightmare,
or delete to leave a Noctilith spirit waiting on their account (see
help noctilith). This
required number of hours starts at 30, but decreases by 1 every time a new
monster is created until one succeeds at transforming.
Monster hours are reset whenever they enter the outer forest, skies, underwater
or go far out into the ocean. Monsters also lose 2 hours every time they log on.
Whenever a monster is on grid all societies with scouts will receive regular
updates about their location. Monsters can be either sea monsters or land
monsters. Sea monsters do half damage while on land but can breathe
underwater and fight in aquatic areas without penalty.
Defeating a monster grants some bonus experience, and also usually an
increase to your combat experience cap, distributed evenly amongst all those
who helped defeat it with a maximum increase of 500000 being awarded.
Monsters can use the ‘seek’ command to find possible nearby prey, this
command preferences high tier characters.
Monsters cannot use abduct or execute commands until they are at 100 hours.
Monsters can use dreamworld associate (number) to choose their world of
origin, doing so will make them more difficult to kill but give characters
with experience in that world some advantages in combat against them.

Monsters
Monsters are NPCs created by Storyrunners for use in their plots. You design up to five, summon them into a scene, and run a fight between them and the players in the room.
Designing monsters
make monster
–Places you in an editor to set the monster’s name, short description, description, and up to five disciplines with their levels. Type done to save it into a free slot, or abort to throw it away.
size Large
–In the monster editor, marks the monster as large. A large monster fights at a higher level than its disciplines alone would give it. size Regular sets it back.
monster list
–Lists your monsters by slot number, 0 to 4.
monster info (number)
–View the details of a monster on the list.
monster delete (number)
–Delete a monster from the list to free up the slot for others.
Summoning
You must be running the room to summon, unsummon, target, diminish or start a fight. Starting a session with plot start marks you as running the room.
monster summon (number)
monster summon (number) (direction)
–Summon a monster into the room with you. Give a direction, such as north or southwest, to place it on that side of the room; otherwise it appears where you stand.
–The monster is sized to the party. The game measures the players in the room and scales the monster’s disciplines up or down so that all the monsters in the room together come to between 100% and 110% of the party’s power. Other storyrunners and staff in the room are not counted as party. If there are no players to measure, you cannot summon. You are told the power it was summoned at and the party’s power: go by those numbers.
–If the monster could not be scaled far enough, you are told the range it should have reached and whether to stat it up or down in the monster editor.
–If the monsters already in the room match the party’s power, you cannot summon another until you unsummon one.
–There is also a limit on how much monster you can have out at once. It grows with the trust each player in the room has given you, and it recovers while you are out of a fight.
–If you leave the room, your monsters do not last long without you.
monster unsummon (monster)
–Makes one of your monsters disappear, whether or not it is in a fight. Name it by a word from its short description. If that leaves nobody to fight, the fight ends.
Running a fight
monster startfight slow
–Start a turn-based fight between the players and your monsters in the room. Your monsters take their turns on their own. If five or more players are drawn in, the fight switches to fast combat.
monster startfight (1-10)
–Start a fast fight at that speed. 1 is the fastest; higher numbers leave more time between actions.
–Everyone in the room is drawn in apart from storyrunners, NPCs that are not fighters, and anyone in the shroud. monster fightstart works the same way.
monster target (monster) (person)
–Set which person one of your monsters attacks. A monster that is not yet in the fight joins it. Name someone who is not in the room to clear the target.
monster pausefight
–Pause the fight in the room, fast or turn-based. In a turn-based fight nobody can attack and the turn timer stops; in a fast fight the combat timers stop. Use the command again to unpause. The pause only holds while you are in the room running it. monster fightpause works the same way.
monster fightspeed (monster) (1-20)
–Set the speed of the fight that monster is in, for everyone in it. A turn-based fight becomes a fast one. 1 is the fastest and 2 means twice the delay between actions. The command accepts up to 100, but anything over 20 runs at the fastest speed. monster speedfight works the same way.
monster diminish (monster) (1-100)
–The monster deals only that percentage of its normal damage, for the next three hours. Use 100 to set it back to full strength.
monster diminishround (monster) (1-100)
–The monster deals only that percentage of its normal damage on its next hit. 100 has no effect. monster rounddiminish works the same way.
How your monsters fight
–They go for the players in the room ahead of any other NPCs there, and in a fast fight they spread their attacks around rather than wearing down one person.
–They take wounds in stages the way a player does, so a fight has stages you can pace and narrate.
–A player they bring down is knocked out about half the time.
–They attack with their disciplines on their own. There are no special abilities or special attacks for you to call on.

Monsters are NPCs created by Storyrunners for use in their plots. You design up to five, summon them into a scene, and run a fight between them and the players in the room.
Designing monsters
make monster
–Places you in an editor to set the monster’s name, short description, description, and up to five disciplines with their levels. Type done to save it into a free slot, or abort to throw it away.
size Large
–In the monster editor, marks the monster as large. A large monster fights at a higher level than its disciplines alone would give it. size Regular sets it back.
monster list
–Lists your monsters by slot number, 0 to 4.
monster info (number)
–View the details of a monster on the list.
monster delete (number)
–Delete a monster from the list to free up the slot for others.
Summoning
You must be running the room to summon, unsummon, target, diminish or start a fight. Starting a session with plot start marks you as running the room.
monster summon (number)
monster summon (number) (direction)
–Summon a monster into the room with you. Give a direction, such as north or southwest, to place it on that side of the room; otherwise it appears where you stand.
–The monster is sized to the party. The game measures the players in the room and scales the monster’s disciplines up or down so that all the monsters in the room together come to between 100% and 110% of the party’s power. Other storyrunners and staff in the room are not counted as party. If there are no players to measure, you cannot summon. You are told the power it was summoned at and the party’s power: go by those numbers.
–If the monster could not be scaled far enough, you are told the range it should have reached and whether to stat it up or down in the monster editor.
–If the monsters already in the room match the party’s power, you cannot summon another until you unsummon one.
–There is also a limit on how much monster you can have out at once. It grows with the trust each player in the room has given you, and it recovers while you are out of a fight.
–If you leave the room, your monsters do not last long without you.
monster unsummon (monster)
–Makes one of your monsters disappear, whether or not it is in a fight. Name it by a word from its short description. If that leaves nobody to fight, the fight ends.
Running a fight

Monstrosity
In the world of Haven all types of power come with a cost to your
humanity, this is generally referred to as monstrosity. More powerful
entities are generally physically and mentally less human, and have had to
sacrifice their morality or aspects of their humanity in order to obtain
that power. No character can obtain power beyond tier two without hurting
innocent people to obtain it. RP Prompts for effective Tier 3s and higher
will often ask about who they have hurt, betrayed or sacrificed for their
power.
Supernatural society is inherently parasitic, with more powerful entities
preying on and feeding off lower power ones. One of the clearest examples
of this is psychic feeding. All supernaturals naturally feed from the
psychic energy of sentient beings weaker than they are, the stronger the
being the more powerful the effect. This can lead to humans who spend a lot
of time around supernaturals ending up particularly weak or frail. Psychic
feeding is a coded part of the game world.
At Tier Two, a supernatural character can use the feed command to enhance
their ability to feed from the psychic energies of others in their
surroundings. They will then slowly siphon off the lifeforce of anyone
nearby and less power than they are who is feeling afraid.
At Tier Three, supernatural characters will feed on fear whether they are
trying to or not, it is now just part of their nature. Additionally when
they use the feed command to enhance this ability they will also be able to
feed on anger and lust. This means they will feed on the life force of
those engaged in combat or sex among other things. Although sparring combat
does generate a fair bit less anger. Sleeping with a supernatural feeding
on lust can cause a significant transfer of life force.
At Tier Four, supernatural characters will feed on fear, anger and lust no
matter if they are trying to or not. It is for instance impossible for
anyone to have sex with such a character without giving up some of their
life force to do so. They can also use the feed command to enhance their
ability and feed of every character weaker than they are who is in proximity
to them.
At Tier Five all types of feeding has become automatic. It is now
impossible to have any personal dealings with an entity this powerful
without slowly being drained of your life force unless you are equally
powerful.
Supernatural characters at or above T3 who never deliberately feed or do so
sparringly will eventually become ill. Deliberately feeding on your friends
and allies is a much better way to prevent this than feeding on enemies.
Sex feeding can take 20+ LF, and may even cause death. If a character is taken below 75% life force they may pass out for a time, or if taken below 60% may even die.

Monstrous Shifting
Levels: 0, 2
Requirements: Fae Knight 3, Primal 3, or Higher Power.
This stat unlocks the monstrous size for shifters. Representing animals vastly larger than their normal natural equivalents. Monstrous size animals have the same costs as large animals, but gain 150% of base defence and offence instead. They cannot enter indoor buildings however and can be seen from a long way away.
Also gives +5 to animal shapeshifting pools to a minimum of 15.

Morality
The most central aspect of Haven’s lore is that power is corruption. If you are Tier 3 or higher you’re a bad person, period. If your society is corrupt, they’re the bad guys, period. If a society is virtuous, they’re the good guys, period.
There are complexities and nuances here for sure that are more than welcome, and you are free to think a bad guy is sympathetic, attractive, intelligent, charming or that a good guy is reckless, stupid, naive, foolish or ugly.
You are absolutely not free to do this kinda ‘No but the good guys are -really- the bad guys because xyz’ or ‘We’re -really- the good guys because yzx’ or ‘They’re really worse than us becuse zxy’ RP unless you are: Unaware of the supernatural, insane, or very stupid. Of course due to alliances you might see working with the bad guys as being the lesser of two evils or a neccessary evil but it is still an evil.
There is no flexibility on this basic principle, people wanting to play moral characters play with very significant disadvantages in order to pay for that right. Trying to subvert that is no different to trying to twink around someone’s stats because you don’t want to lose.

Move
The move command is used to move around on the battlefield, your normal
move range is 10 plus twice your skill at running. This is doubled when
doing a charge to 20 plus four times your skill at running. The skill
superjump allows you to move towards a target at three times your normal
speed.
To move towards someone you can use the syntaxes:
Move (person) (distance)/charge/jump
To move away from someone you can use the syntaxes:
Move (person) away/retreat
To move towards a set of coordinates you can use the syntax:
Move (x coordinate) (y coordinate)
You can also use a cardinal direction command, such as east or north to move
in that direction.
You can protect someone with move (person) protect. This will move you
towards them and if you get next to them all attacks directed against them
will hit you instead.
Move Up/Down will move you into the room above or below the room you are
currently in, if you are able to do so.
Move Sprint/Flee Will move you in the direction you’re already facing, if
you haven’t yet used an attack that round it will consume the attack and
move you at triple speed. When used with flee will also attempt to end
the fight like attack skip. Wounded characters flee much slower.
You can also use the commands in the form of Charge (person) or Retreat
(person) Or Flee
The bonus from all fast movement types is reduced by carrying armor, shield
and large weapons. This particularly strongly effects sprinting/fleeing.
Retreat and protect movement keeps you facing in the same direction, otherwise
you will turn to face the direction you are moving.

movein
Syntax: movein
This command costs $100 and moves all stashed clothes and jewelry to the
room you’re currently in, it’s useful if your character has recently moved
into a new house etc and you don’t want to have to move all your clothes by
hand.
This command does not move containers or weapons when used outside of Greystone.

myattacks
Syntax: make attack or myattacks create
Used to create a new custom attack for your character with the following
fields:
Name: The name given to the custom attack will be the command used. For
example. If the name is stab, the syntax in combat will be: stab (target).
Discipline: The discipline specifies which discipline the custom attack uses.
Special: Special refers to any special effects added. See Also: Special List.
Myself: The message displayed to you when the attack is used.
Target: The message displayed to the target when the attack is used.
Bystanders: The message displayed to everyone else when the attack is used.
Delayed messages are those seen when a delayed attack hits.
Syntax: myattacks list
Will list the name, disc and special effects for saved custom attacks.
Syntax: myattacks info (custom name)
Will show information about the created custom attack.
Syntax: myattacks delete (custom name)
Will delete an already made custom attack.
In addition, you can change parts of an already created attack individually
with the following syntaxes:
myattacks rename (name) (newname)
myattacks discipline (name) (discipline)
myattacks special (name) (special)
myattacks myself (name) (message)
myattacks target (name) (message)
myattacks bystanders (name) (message)
myattacks myselfdelayed (name) (message)
myattacks targetdelayed (name) (message)
myattacks bystandersdelayed (name) (message)
When you want to refer to other people in the strings, you can use the
following keys.
$N – target’s name $n – your name.
$M – target’s him/her $m – your him/her.
$S – target’s his/hers $s – your his/her.
$E – target’s he/she $e – your he/she
In fast combat, your attacks will always have their effect added to the
end, such as ‘mildly wounds him’ or ‘deflects off her armor’. So it is good
to leave the end open-ended when writing the way it looks for the sections
of myself, target, bystanders, etc, by using words like this, that, which,
‘the attack’, etc.

MyHaven
MyHaven
MyHaven is the social and dating app that most Haven residents have on their phones. You find people on it, match with them as friends, dates or professional contacts, and the app then suggests when the two of you should chat or meet. Your handle, which always starts with @, is how people find you on it. You also need a profile to use chatrooms (see help chatroom).
Setting up your profile
myhaven setup
–Start editing your profile. Your prompt shows the profile as it stands. While you are editing, these commands fill it in:
handle (name)
–Set your handle. You type the name, and it becomes @name. Nobody else can already be using it.
aboutme
–Open the editor to write your About Me: your personality, interests, and whatever else people should know. Nobody finds you by browsing until this is written.
photo (pose)
–Take your profile picture. It shows you as you look right now, posed the way you describe. Eidolons write their picture as free text in the editor instead.
quote (text)
–Set a quote for your profile.
joke
–Open the editor to write a joke for your profile.
attractedto
–Open the editor to describe the kind of people you are attracted to. Only people you have a dating match with can see this.
webprofilepic (url), webbackground (url), webpictures, webyoutubes
–Pictures and videos for your character’s page on the Haven website. The last two open the editor: put one link on each line.
done
–Save your profile and stop editing.
Finding people
myhaven browse or myhaven browse new
–See a random profile you have not matched with yet. Only people who have been on in the last three days show up. With new, you only see profiles made in the last eight days.
myhaven viewprofile (handle)
–Look at someone’s profile. On its own, it shows you your own.
Matching
myhaven match (handle) (friends, date and/or professional)
–Ask to match with someone as any mix of the three, for example myhaven match @sam friends date. If they are online, they are told that someone matched with them, but not who.
–A match only happens when both of you have chosen each other, and it only covers the kinds you both picked. If they later match you back with nothing in common, no match is made. When a match is made, you are both told what it is for, even if the other person is offline.
text (handle) (message)
–Text a match by their handle, for example text @sam see you at eight. You need your phone in hand and a signal, as for any text, and you must have matched with each other.
myhaven rematch (handle) (friends, date and/or professional)
–Replace your choices for an existing match with new ones.
myhaven unmatch (handle)
–End a match.
myhaven list
–List your matches. People who are online show in green. Matches who have not been on for about three days are left off.
Chatting and meeting
myhaven chatwith (handles)
–Mark matches you would like to chat with, for example myhaven chatwith @sam @alex. Naming someone already marked unmarks them. The marks stay until you remove them.
myhaven meetwith (handles)
–The same, for matches you would like to meet in person.
–When two matches have marked each other, MyHaven may suggest that they chat or meet. One of you is chosen to open the conversation, or to pick the place and activity. A suggestion only comes when both of you are online, alone in your rooms, not AFK and not set to low availability (see help availability), have cell signal, and have not had a suggestion in the last half hour. Meetings are suggested before chats.
photo (handle) (pose)
–Send a photo to one of your matches through MyHaven.
myhaven suspend
–Stop MyHaven suggesting chats and meetings. Use it again to start them again.
Ratings
myhaven rate (handle) (0.1 to 5.0)
–Once you and a match have talked enough, you are told you can rate how much fun they are to chat with, and later how much fun they are to spend time with in person. Ratings are anonymous. Once someone has a couple of ratings, a star score shows on their profile.
myhaven rateevent (0.1 to 5.0)
–Rate an event you went to, when you are told you can.
Plus
myhaven plus
–Switch MyHaven Plus on or off. Plus members see the wealth and education of the people whose profiles they view.
Premium
MyHaven Premium is something that certain powerful, and so corrupt, members of the supernatural world had added to the app. Anyone can buy it with myhaven buypremium for $5000. Arkwrights and Inigos of tier 2 or higher, the villain of the week, and Eidolons get it free when they log on.
The premium commands below work on a match who has sent you at least three messages through MyHaven in the last three hours. Otherwise the attempt fails.
myhaven camhack (handle)
–Hack their phone camera. Their phone warms up a little. From then on you see their emotes wherever you are. It stops when they turn their phone off, or when either of you leaves the game. Only one person can camhack someone at a time.
myhaven telekinesis (handle) (message)
–Push force through their phone. They alone see your message, as something that happens around them, after their phone warms up a little.
myhaven hypnotise (handle) (type) (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (instruction)
–Hypnotise them through the phone. It works like the hypnotize command (see help hypnotism), and they can accept or resist it the same way (see help imprint). The type can be instruction, compulsion, body instruction, body compulsion, triggered instruction, triggered compulsion, triggered body instruction or triggered body compulsion. A triggered type takes its trigger in brackets before the instruction. Each one costs you between $20 and $40.
These two work on a match when you have both marked each other for chatting (or meeting), and a suggestion could come right now apart from the half-hour wait and the random chance. They also work if either of you has suspended MyHaven:
myhaven forcechat (handle)
–Make MyHaven suggest a chat between you straight away, with you opening the conversation.
myhaven forcemeet (handle)
–Make MyHaven suggest a meeting straight away, with you picking the place and activity.

Meetings are suggested before chats.
photo (handle) (pose)
–Send a photo to one of your matches through MyHaven.
myhaven suspend
–Stop MyHaven suggesting chats and meetings. Use it again to start them again.
Ratings
myhaven rate (handle) (0.1 to 5.0)
–Once you and a match have talked enough, you are told you can rate how much fun they are to chat with, and later how much fun they are to spend time with in person. Ratings are anonymous. Once someone has a couple of ratings, a star score shows on their profile.
myhaven rateevent (0.1 to 5.0)
–Rate an event you went to, when you are told you can.
Plus
myhaven plus
–Switch MyHaven Plus on or off. Plus members see the wealth and education of the people whose profiles they view.
Premium
MyHaven Premium is something that certain powerful, and so corrupt, members of the supernatural world had added to the app. Anyone can buy it with myhaven buypremium for $5000. Arkwrights and Inigos of tier 2 or higher, the villain of the week, and Eidolons get it free when they log on.
The premium commands below work on a match who has sent you at least three messages through MyHaven in the last three hours. Otherwise the attempt fails.
myhaven camhack (handle)
–Hack their phone camera. Their phone warms up a little. From then on you see their emotes wherever you are. It stops when they turn their phone off, or when either of you leaves the game. Only one person can camhack someone at a time.
myhaven telekinesis (handle) (message)
–Push force through their phone. They alone see your message, as something that happens around them, after their phone warms up a little.
myhaven hypnotise (handle) (type) (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (instruction)
–Hypnotise them through the phone. It works like the hypnotize command (see help hypnotism), and they can accept or resist it the same way (see help imprint). The type can be instruction, compulsion, body instruction, body compulsion, triggered instruction, triggered compulsion, triggered body instruction or triggered body compulsion. A triggered type takes its trigger in brackets before the instruction. Each one costs you between $20 and $40.
These two work on a match when you have both marked each other for chatting (or meeting), and a suggestion could come right now apart from the half-hour wait and the random chance. They also work if either of you has suspended MyHaven:
myhaven forcechat (handle)
–Make MyHaven suggest a chat between you straight away, with you opening the conversation.
myhaven forcemeet (handle)
–Make MyHaven suggest a meeting straight away, with you picking the place and activity.

Narrative
The narrative command is used to set up what narrative rewards you want for
your character and what rewards you are happy to give other people. These
represent ways in which your character’s story can grow and develop. For
example one person may want their character to obtain the reward of getting
to feel powerful, while another wants the reward of getting to feel morally
strong so they can do a scene in which one character is more powerful and
wins conflicts, but the other character’s moral strength is tested and holds
up.
Characters with compatible narrative rewards will be more likely to be matched
for destinies and those matching narrative rewards will be shown to both
characters whenever a destiny scene starts between them.

Naturalize
Syntax: Naturalize target
This command fires a naturalizer at the specified target. It requires a
naturalizer which looks like a black polymer electronic handgun.
In combat it can only be used by those with 5 points in the soldiering
ability line and has a 50 unit range.
Out of combat it can be used by anyone, but if the target is not helpless or
bound the chance of a hit is quite low.
When fired the gun emits a faint whine noise, but otherwise there’s no
obvious sign of it having been fired.
If a shifter in animal form is struck but the naturalizer they will be
turned back into their human shape, and be unable to shift back into animal
form for some time. Animals who have been neutralized cannot be
naturalized.

Neutralize
Syntax: Neutralize (target)
This command is used to throw a neutralization grenade, in combat it can
only be used by those who have the riot control ability line at 5. Everyone
within 15 of the target will be neutralized.
Out of combat it can be used by anyone, and takes no target, neutralizing
everyone in the room for about fifteen minutes.
The out of combat effect will not carry over if a fight breaks out.
Individuals can also be neutralized by wearing a neutralization collar or
being implanted with a neutralizer.
When neutralized a supernatural loses access to all their supernatural
abilities. Although they haven’t actually been changed and vampires
continue to be undead and so on, they’re unable to access any supernatural
powers or abilities for the duration. All supernatural powers and abilities
are rendered zero except for mimic and obfuscate, physical stats are also
lowered as is maximum damage from melee and shapeshifter attacks. But
things like supernatural durability or toughness are not. Abomination
powers are not neutralized but abominations cannot go blackeyes while they
are if not already.
Shapeshifters who are neutralized in animal form become typical members of
their animal species, not only losing a good deal of their combat power but
also losing their human memories, thoughts and higher cognitive powers
entirely for the duration.

Newbie Roleplaying tips
Firstly make sure you’ve read the setting file that you were
sent after you finished creation. This will give you the basic
information you need to start RPing. Other lore files can be
read as you go and pick up more knowledge as you play.
While people know of the supernatural it remains hidden, avoid
doing anything obviously supernatural in public, or walking
around with visible weapons etc.
Make sure you’re dressed, it’s a good idea when you get the
chance to set up a few different outfits so your character isn’t
always wearing the same thing.
Remain In Character at all times.

NHostile
Nightmare hostile
nhostile (target)
–Take a hostile stance that, when it springs, strikes your target through the nightmare and drags them and the people already in the room deep into it, starting a fight there. To the room it looks like an ordinary hostile stance. You need to be able to enter the nightmare yourself, and your target must be someone you could nightmare pull: a player or a vehicle you can see and reach. Unlike an ordinary hostile stance, it is not stopped by the room being public.
nhostile
–With the stance up, lower it. hostile also lowers it. Lowering a stance takes five seconds.
What springs it
–Someone arriving in the room after you took the stance. They, and the people with them, are left out of the fight.
–Someone elsewhere attacking into the room. Their attack does not land, and they are left out of the fight.
–Anything in the room that would spring an ordinary hostile stance, such as someone trying to leave, making a call, or waking someone. Then nobody in the room is left out.
When it springs
Everyone in the room is pulled deep into the nightmare, except whoever sprang it and their group, and your target is pulled in wherever they are. It costs the same life force as a nightmare pull, and brings you out of hiding. People inside a property under siege cannot be dragged. A Noctilith whose eyes are black pays no life force, and one who catches up with their quarry with noctilith hunt springs a nightmare hostile on arrival.
When it fails
The stance is checked again when it springs. If you or your target no longer qualify, for example because they have moved out of reach, joined another fight, become helpless, or gone into a shielded building, your hold on the nightmare slips away and nothing happens. The stance also ends if you move or climb, or if your target logs off.
You cannot take the stance while you are fighting, helpless, travelling, too tired, dreaming, or where the deep nightmare is too disturbed.

Nightmare
Syntax: nightmare
Enter or exit the nightmare physically
The nightmare is a psychic realm that exists midway between reality and
dream.
No one can enter the nightmare without a special charm, and seeing into
it requires drinking of mandrake tea. The details of individuals outside
the nightmare and what they’re doing cannot be seen from inside it.
Physically leaving the nightmare requires a room with a mirror in it.
Dreaming characters also wander the nightmare as spectres.
When inside the nightmare, characters have a nightmare manifestation, items
or changes in their appearance which are manifested from their psyche.
It is possible to use some of your life force to physically force another
into the nightmare in order to assault them. Most supernatural conflicts
involve this or other methods of psychic conflic.
Syntax: Nightmare pull (target)
For 5% of your life force this sends a blast through the nightmare to strike
your target and yank them forcefully deep into the nightmare. Starting a
fight immediately. It also causes a ripple at the point of impact, giving
anyone else capable of entering the nightmare a chance to join them.
You can also nightmare pull vehicles, in which case the vehicle tends to
disappear and become lost, only to show up a short time later
in some random location as if parked, and the driver of the vehicle is the
one who takes the full blast of the nightmare pull. Characters in buildings
protected by nightmare shields cannot generally be forced into the nightmare.
Normal humans who are near people who enter or are pulled into the nightmare
often experience a momentary spacing out or deja vu.
You cannot earn influence in the nightmare.
You can enter the nightmare in towns, and in a room with a mirror in it.

Noctilith Lore
Noctiliths
Noctiliths are a kind of demon: possessing spirits born from nightmares. A Noctilith comes to someone after they have had a particularly bad nightmare. When the dreamer wakes, it has come with them. From then on it lives inside them, and it drives them to make people afraid and to do evil.
Living with one
No two hosts carry a Noctilith in quite the same way.
–Some remember nothing of what it does. For them, being possessed is only lost time: they come back to themselves hours later, somewhere they do not remember going.
–Some are generally in control of their own bodies, and lose that control only when the Noctilith takes over. Then they watch from outside themselves while it acts. Even when they have their bodies back, they cannot tell anyone what is happening to them or do anything against it.
–Some are never in control at all. They are passengers in their own minds, watching the Noctilith live out their lives and terrorize the people around them.
–For others it never takes over at all. It whispers in their mind and twists what they see and believe, until they carry out what it wants of their own free will.
Those who lost their memory to it generally get it back when the Noctilith leaves them or is driven out.
Moving on
A Noctilith can leave its host for someone new. The host it leaves never knows who it went to. Even so, they often find themselves, without knowing why, more trusting of the new host and more ready to help them.

Noctilith mechanics
This covers everything a Noctilith does outside a siege. For sieges, see help noctilith sieges.
Getting one
When a monster guest has passed its required number of hours (see help monster guests) and is then deleted, it leaves a Noctilith spirit waiting on its account. Staff can also grant one. While a spirit is waiting, your account screen says so. Log in on the character that should carry it and type noctilith activate. Guests and GMs cannot carry one, and a character can carry only one.
Powers and black eyes
noctilith power (name)
–Take one of the legendary powers (see help legendary powers). The spirit grants up to five, and you cannot take one you already have. These powers belong to the spirit: they only answer while your eyes are black, and they leave with it.
blackeyes
–Let the Noctilith rise, or let it recede. Your eyes turn an unnatural, reflective black that anyone can see unless your eyes are covered. With black eyes you hit half again as hard, you take a third less damage, and the shroud opens for you. You cannot let the darkness recede while the mist is all that holds you up in the air.
The mist
noctilith mist
–Call a thick mist over the whole town for 90 minutes. You can do this once every three days. Sense, stalk and hunt only work while such a mist is up and your eyes are black.
noctilith sense
–Spread yourself through the mist and feel everyone in Haven who is out in it, or behind a window that looks out onto it. Curtains do not hide them from you.
noctilith stalk (person)
–Rise into the mist and fly to someone you can sense, at three rooms a second: three times the speed of a car. If they are outdoors, you hang in the mist directly above them. If they are indoors on the ground floor, you stand in the street outside their window. If they are higher up, you hover outside their window. From there you see and hear what happens in their room, curtains or not, but you see only that one room in, never further. The stalk follows them as they move, and ends when the mist thins or your eyes clear. A ground-floor perch is a public street, so passers-by can see you. noctilith unstalk lets them go.
noctilith show (what they see)
–While stalking, put something in their room that is not there. The person you are stalking always sees it. So does anyone else in that room who is awake, can see, and can see out into the mist. Drawn curtains keep it from them.
noctilith hunt (person)
–Pour yourself through the mist after someone who is out in it, at three rooms a second, until you reach them. If they are driving, you run along the mist above their car.
Feeding
noctilith drain (person)
–Set yourself to feed on someone who is helpless in the room with you. If they are held in a nightmare, they must be fully subdued first. Your next emote takes part of their lifeforce. Some of the karma binds to you, and more is set aside for the next character on your account. Whoever passed the spirit to you feels an echo of every feeding. You can feed once a day, and the same person only once a week. New characters, and households you have fed on recently, give much less. The spirit will not feed on its own account, and it refuses if you have preyed on too many households of late. noctilith drain on its own lets the hunger go.
noctilith subdue (person)
–Outside a siege this works only on someone who is already helpless. Hold them for five minutes and they go limp. If they stop being helpless before you finish, you lose them. noctilith take (person) then carries them off to your haven. See help noctilith sieges for how both work inside a siege.
Darkness
noctilith darken
–Once every three days, cut the lights of a property you are in or beside, without taking it out of the world. It does not work on a college house or on a property something older already holds.
Havens
noctilith haven
–Claim an empty property that nobody owns as your haven. You can hold one at a time. noctilith haven release lets it go, and clears your traps.
noctilith trap
–Leave a piece of the dark in a room of your haven, in up to five rooms. Anyone else who steps into a trapped room is held fast for fifteen minutes and cannot move, and you are told if you are online. A trap is spent once it springs, and it still works while you are logged off.
Rituals
ritual exorcism (person)
–Performed on someone helpless in the room. If a spirit rides them, it is torn out and takes its powers with it. Part of the karma it earned is shared among those present who were never bound to that spirit. If there is no spirit, the rite turns on the room: the target is wounded and everyone present loses lifeforce. You cannot exorcise a spirit you have carried yourself.
ritual transfer (person)
–A Noctilith can pass its spirit to another character. You lose the spirit and its powers, and the new host starts fresh. A spirit never returns to a vessel it has worn, and it will not ride a guest, a GM, or someone who already carries one.

Noctilith Sieges
Noctilith sieges
A siege pulls a whole property out of the world, with everyone inside it, and shuts them in with the Noctilith.
Starting one
noctilith realm
–Stand in a house, a shop, a public property or one of the college houses, or one step outside it, and pull the place out of the world. You can do this once a week. You cannot start one while you are fighting, helpless, in the shroud, or hunting or stalking someone, and a property that something older already holds will not go. A shop or public place with more than three other people in it will not hold. A house holds any number.
–Everyone inside at that moment is caught, and you are drawn into the room you stepped toward. You are told roughly how many minutes you have.
Inside the dark
–The lights die, and every window shows nothing. It is dark, but everyone inside can still see each other; hiding is what keeps you out of sight.
–Nobody caught inside can leave, log off, or be moved out by any power. Nobody outside can get in: anyone who does is thrown back out.
–Phones, landlines, texts and the radio are all dead, going in and coming out.
–A closed door is a real door to everyone. The shroud, walking through walls and slipping under a door as a tiny animal all stop working, and nobody inside can use the shroud at all.
–The Noctilith cannot simply be attacked. The only way to hit back is to throw something at it or shoot at it (see Fighting back below).
How long it lasts
A siege lasts between ten and ninety minutes. Every room and every door in the place adds time, and every extra person trapped inside takes time away, so a big house with one person in it holds for a long time and a small one full of people does not.
–It ends when the time runs out, when the Noctilith takes someone away, when it leaves the game, or after a minute with it disconnected. A reboot ends every siege.
–When it ends, the Noctilith is put back in its haven if it has one, or outside the property if not. Everyone else stays where they are.
The Noctilith’s side
The Noctilith moves at a walking pace: after each step it must wait five seconds before it can take another. It cannot climb. Each of these takes time, during which it cannot move, and any of them brings it out of hiding:
noctilith breach (direction)
–Break down a closed door. That takes two minutes, less ten seconds for every door in the place (never under twenty seconds), plus any time the door has been reinforced. Everyone in the room hears something working at the door, and the whole house hears it give way. A broken door stands open from both sides.
noctilith seal (direction)
–Fifteen seconds to draw a sheet of shadow across a way, door or not. Nobody can pass it, from either side, and it blocks any window on that side of the room as well.
noctilith unseal (direction)
–Thirty seconds to take one of your own seals down again.
noctilith search
–Five minutes to take the room apart. Everyone hiding in it is found.
noctilith hide
–Thirty seconds to fold yourself into the dark. You come out again as soon as you take a step or start another of these.
Being caught
–When the Noctilith walks into a room, or steps out of hiding there, everyone in the room who can runs on the spot. Each takes a random open way out that stays inside the property, never the way it came in. A closed door is not a way out until someone opens it, and a sealed way never is. Anyone hiding where it cannot see them stays put.
–If someone in the room has nowhere to run, it takes hold of them. If someone there was in the middle of a rescue, it takes the rescuer first.
noctilith subdue (person)
–It can also take hold of anyone caught in the siege on purpose. Holding someone takes five minutes of staying in the same room with them. Nobody held can fight. If the Noctilith lets go or leaves the room, what it has done so far is kept, and it picks up where it left off next time. Once it finishes, they go limp and are helpless.
noctilith detain
–Pin the person it is holding where they are, finished or not. They cannot leave that room, and its hands are free again.
noctilith take (person)
–Carry someone who is fully subdued away to its haven. It needs a haven to do this. The siege ends for everyone else at once.
Fighting back
None of these can be done by someone who is detained or fully subdued. Taking a step, or being made to run, cancels anything you were part-way through.
reinforce (direction)
–Thirty seconds of piling furniture against a door adds fifteen seconds to the time it takes to break. It stacks, and anyone can add to it, until the door is broken. You cannot do this with the Noctilith in the room unless it is hiding.
rescue (person)
–Forty-five seconds to pull free someone who has been detained. It also undoes any hold the Noctilith had on them. It brings you out of hiding, and if the Noctilith walks in while you are at it, it takes you first.
hurl (object) or hurl
–Throw something you are carrying at the Noctilith, or with no object, fire at it with a ranged weapon. You must be able to see it, in the same room or one open, unsealed way away. If it is holding someone, the hold slips and it needs fifteen more seconds to finish. If not, it staggers, and must wait five more seconds before it can move. You can do this once every thirty seconds, and once it has been hit, anything else that hits it in the next thirty seconds barely registers. A thrown object lands in its room.
hide
–Thirty seconds to find somewhere to hide. You cannot start while the Noctilith is in the room and can see you. When it walks in, it passes over anyone it cannot see; a search is the sure way to find them.
climb up or climb down
–Fifteen seconds to go out of a window and in through one on the floor above or below. The window must look outside, and there must be one on the same side of the building (or round the corner) on that floor, still inside the property. A seal on that side of either room stops it. It brings you out of hiding, you cannot start with the Noctilith in the room unless it is hiding, and if it walks in before you are through, the climb is lost.

A siege pulls a whole property out of the world, with everyone inside it, and shuts them in with the Noctilith.
Starting one
noctilith realm
–Stand in a house, a shop, a public property or one of the college houses, or one step outside it, and pull the place out of the world. You can do this once a week. You cannot start one while you are fighting, helpless, in the shroud, or hunting or stalking someone, and a property that something older already holds will not go. A shop or public place with more than three other people in it will not hold. A house holds any number.
–Everyone inside at that moment is caught, and you are drawn into the room you stepped toward. You are told roughly how many minutes you have.
Inside the dark
–The lights die, and every window shows nothing. It is dark, but everyone inside can still see each other; hiding is what keeps you out of sight.
–Nobody caught inside can leave, log off, or be moved out by any power. Nobody outside can get in: anyone who does is thrown back out.
–Phones, landlines, texts and the radio are all dead, going in and coming out.
–A closed door is a real door to everyone. The shroud, walking through walls and slipping under a door as a tiny animal all stop working, and nobody inside can use the shroud at all.
–The Noctilith cannot simply be attacked. The only way to hit back is to throw something at it or shoot at it (see Fighting back below).
How long it lasts
A siege lasts between ten and ninety minutes. Every room and every door in the place adds time, and every extra person trapped inside takes time away, so a big house with one person in it holds for a long time and a small one full of people does not.
–It ends when the time runs out, when the Noctilith takes someone away, when it leaves the game, or after a minute with it disconnected. A reboot ends every siege.
–When it ends, the Noctilith is put back in its haven if it has one, or outside the property if not. Everyone else stays where they are.
The Noctilith’s side
The Noctilith moves at a walking pace: after each step it must wait five seconds before it can take another. It cannot climb. Each of these takes time, during which it cannot move, and any of them brings it out of hiding:
noctilith breach (direction)
–Break down a closed door. That takes two minutes, less ten seconds for every door in the place (never under twenty seconds), plus any time the door has been reinforced. Everyone in the room hears something working at the door, and the whole house hears it give way. A broken door stands open from both sides.
noctilith seal (direction)
–Fifteen seconds to draw a sheet of shadow across a way, door or not. Nobody can pass it, from either side, and it blocks any window on that side of the room as well.
noctilith unseal (direction)
–Thirty seconds to take one of your own seals down again.
noctilith search
–Five minutes to take the room apart. Everyone hiding in it is found.
noctilith hide
–Thirty seconds to fold yourself into the dark. You come out again as soon as you take a step or start another of these.
Being caught
–When the Noctilith walks into a room, or steps out of hiding there, everyone in the room who can runs on the spot. Each takes a random open way out that stays inside the property, never the way it came in. A closed door is not a way out until someone opens it, and a sealed way never is. Anyone hiding where it cannot see them stays put.
–If someone in the room has nowhere to run, it takes hold of them. If someone there was in the middle of a rescue, it takes the rescuer first.
noctilith subdue (person)
–It can also take hold of anyone caught in the siege on purpose. Holding someone takes five minutes of staying in the same room with them. Nobody held can fight. If the Noctilith lets go or leaves the room, what it has done so far is kept, and it picks up where it left off next time. Once it finishes, they go limp and are helpless.
noctilith detain
–Pin the person it is holding where they are, finished or not. They cannot leave that room, and its hands are free again.
noctilith take (person)
–Carry someone who is fully subdued away to its haven. It needs a haven to do this. The siege ends for everyone else at once.

nweapon
–Show your nightmare weapon, and whether it is summoned.
nweapon bind (weapon)
–While you are in the nightmare, pour your fears into a weapon you are carrying. The weapon is used up and becomes your nightmare weapon. You can have only one. If you already have one, you must add confirm to the end, and the old one is destroyed for good.

nweapon summon
–Call it into your hand. This only works in the nightmare. If your hands are full, it waits among your things.
nweapon dismiss
–Send it back into the dark.
What it is
–It exists only in the nightmare. As soon as you leave, by any route, it dissolves. You still have it, and can summon it again the next time you are there.
–It never leaves you. It cannot be dropped, given, sold, put into anything, destroyed, cloned or kept in an outfit, and it never turns into a real item.
–It fights exactly like the weapon it was made from, and it counts as a weapon however it looks.
–Its ammunition and charges carry over. Dismissing it and summoning it again does not reload or refill it.
–You can reshape how it looks anywhere, with no workshop: customize its short and long descriptions, names, description, extra descriptions and wear string. Its stats cannot be changed.

OOC Rules
When communicating with others OOCly you should obey the following rules:
1. Do not OOCly discuss or give out IC information that is sensitive and
current. Information is current if it has to do with or impacts characters
currently playing the game. Information is sensitive if it isn’t publicly
known and isn’t trivial. If it’s about something that was being openly
discussed in public, it’s fair game. If it’s trivial to the point where it
couldn’t really affect anything, such as a funny joke someone told, it’s
fine. If it’s about stuff that happened months or years ago to characters
long since dead, it’s okay as well. If not though, you shouldn’t be talking
about it.
2. Do not attempt to OOCly influence other players IC behavior. Don’t, for
instance, say you should do or you shouldn’t do something. Similarly, do
not say it would be really cool if you did or didn’t do something.
3. Do not OOCly discuss matters which aren’t publicly known aspects of your
current character. Don’t tell people about his hidden motivations or inner
personality. Do not explain the reasons why they did or said anything. If
someone mentions that your character seems like a lecher, do not respond
with ‘Well, but really that’s just hiding his inner sexual insecurities” or
anything along those lines. Once your character has retired or died, feel
free to explain.
4. Do not OOCly script or predetermine events, actions, schemes or roleplay
with others.
5. Do not tell others who the alts, Story Runners, or Immortals of another
person are or who you think they are unless you know the player is fine with
it.
6. Do not make assertions to others about other players based on speculation or
hearsay without making some effort to find out if they are true or not.
This can be done by contacting the player in question or the staff.
7. If you speak OOCly with someone more than once a week on average
you should add them to your friend list. See help friend.
8. Do not respond OOCly to anonymous feedback.
9. Do not discuss real world politics or religion on public channels.
Common Background Exception: If you want to make a character with someone else
that has a common background, that is permissible. You can use OOC
communication to set up and discuss the background, but not current events.
Story Runner Exception: You can talk OOCly to SRs about your character’s
background and such if it is relevant to a current or future plot.
We feel the reasons for these rules are pretty obvious. We don’t want the IC
environment being dictated by the OOC factors. We don’t want a player’s OOC
influence to be more important than his IC influence. We want people to be able
to play alts or SR without worrying about their actions on one character
affecting peoples attitudes towards the other. They should also be able to
relax and play a character without worrying about people bugging them to SR
stuff. We want people to behave decently toward each other and not start or
spread rumors that will detract from another’s experience.
We understand that while we will be unable to enforce these rules in many
situations, players need to be aware that they can be punished for breaking
them. Opting to follow these rules is in the best interests of each player and
the community as a whole. They foster respect and goodwill. By typing consent
OOC rules, you will unlock the tell command. Typing it again will disable it.
Refusing to consent to the OOC rules does not make you exempt from them, but the
mechanism ensures that you are aware of the rules prior to using tell.
If there is anything about the rules that you don’t understand or wish to
discuss, please contact the immortals. Alterations will be considered as well.

Operation
Syntax: Make Operation
operation list/info/enroll/cancel/reinforce (number)
Operations are combat missions planned and executed by societies. Anyone in
a society can create an operation, although they might be canceled by more
senior members in player made societies. When doing so they specify all the details
of that mission such as where it will take place, when it will occur the
goals to be achieved and the adversaries to face.
If a societies suceeds at an operation they are rewarded with resources, more
resources are given if more enemies show up. If the society which created
the operation wins they will earn 10% more if the operation was created by
their leader.
Help Operation Fields outlines all the fields you can fill in when making an
operation and what they mean.
Help Operation Types explains the different objectives that operations can
have.
Help Psychic Battles explains the lore behind operations.
The authors of operations can sometimes earn small amounts of karma when
their operation launches, so long as they’re online.
Winners of operations earn resources based on the number of participants and
challenge of the operation, others can earn resources based on number of NPC
adversaries defeated.
All other societies have to do to participate in operations is sign up with
the operation signup command. Characters can participate from anywhere but
will be vulnerable and asleep while participating.
The rewards for winning an operation are lower the more you have already won
in that week. They are also lower if you fight less enemies, always run them
at the same time, or always face the same opponents, particularly if you tend
to get similar results against the same opponents.
Operation reinforce (operation number) (number of soldiers) can be used to
send soldiers (noted as ‘manpower’ in society info) to assist in operations.
These soldiers can be guided with the battle command.
Operation timeshift (operation number) (positive or negative hours) can be
used by the target of a psychic operation to change when it will occur.
Operation signup (operation number) is used to sign up to operations.
Operation bribe (operation number) is used to win an operation without
fighting it for a base cost of 50k resources.
Territory lockout (number of days) (territory) Prevents operations being
created in that territory for the specified number of days. Costs $200 resources for one day, increasing
by 150% for each following day, so $300 for 2 days, $450 for 3, $675 for 4.
Nightmare pull, dream invade and dream snare now all work on enemies in
operations. Using any of these commands will make the command considered
pending, and you must be the one to defeat the enemy to make it fire.
Doing so will immediately remove you from the operation.
Nightmare pull will pull the target through the nightmare to your current
location, they will be unconscious when they arrive and considered
abducted codely and thus of no real alchemical value.
Normal lifeforce costs apply and none of these actions can be performed on
someone with a weakness.

This is the string that the adversaries in the operation will appear by,
such as X shoots you. X changes to coordinates.
AdversaryType:
The type of adversary you’ll face, current options are archaic and modern.
AreaName:
The name of the room the operation will take place in.
Territory:
The supernatural territory the operation will take place in or,
Other, Godrealm, Wilds in the case of offworld operations.
Type:
The type of operation, see help operation types.
ItemName:
In operations that are targeted at a specific item this is what that item
will appear as, such as person has X, person gives X to other person. E.
G. ‘the ancient tablets’
Capture Process Name:
In operations in which one or more locations much be captured this sets the
name of the process that must be completed, such as person continues X, or
you are 10 percent done with X. E. G. ‘uploading the virus’
Goal:

MaximumCharacters:
Sets the maximum number of PCs from any alliance that can go on the operation
with a value of between 2 and 8. Non supernaturals count for 2/3ds of a
supernatural. So 3 non supernaturals could go on an operation with a
maximum size of 2. The number of NPC soldiers you can deploy to any given
operation will be twice this number.
Competition:
Set to Open/Restricted/Closed. Open is the default type of operation.
Restricted operations only give half the resources to the winner but no other
alliance can send a PC force considered more powerful overall than the one sent
by the creating alliance. This makes it a good choice for operations made by or
designed for newer characters or non-combat characters.
Closed operations cannot be seen by or attended by anyone outside of the creating
society but also reward no resources. They can be set with 0 in the day field however.
They are well suited to practice or within society group activities.
Challenge:
Allows characters to make the rewards of winning an operation higher by making
the NPC adversaries more numerous. 0 is the default and is generally recommended.
NPC adversaries base number is determined by the overall power of the most powerful
attending alliance.
Priority:
This allows you to list players which will be taken over others if more than max
is present, you can include yourself on this list and should leave a space between
the names of every character on it.
Speed:
Sets the speed of the battle, speed 1 is the same speed as the game uses by
default when engaged in combat in the forest against mobs. Speed 2 is twice
as slow, speed 3 is three times as slow and so on. Maximum speed is 6 which
makes each combat round a minute and a half long.
Hour:
The hour of the day in Haven time you want the operation to occur.
Day:
The number of days from now the operation will occur. This counts down
every time the designated hour passes. So if the current time is 10 and you
set hour to 11 and day to 1 it will occur tomorrow at 11. But if you set
hour to 9 and day to 1 it will occur the day after tomorrow at 9.
Storyline:
An optional field which will make the operation part of a storyline and involve
all participants in that storyline.

Operation Goals
Operation goals are objectives that can be brought about by winning operations.
They either increase or exploit alliance support in the target territory.
Control
Whoever wins this type of operation will increase the support for their society’s
alliance in the target territory. Contested territories give 2.5 times the gain
of regular territories, war territories give 4 times the gain of contested. The
amount is influence by all factors which also influence resource gain from
operations, such as the number of operations won that week, number and variety
of societies participating, and how often the society runs operations at that
hour.
The cost below relates to the % of control needed in the territory in order
to perform that goal. For example, in order to calm the alliance needs
at least 30% control in that territory.

alliance similarly to a control operation, but slightly less effective.
Cost: 0%
Provoke
On Success: 100% chance a contested territory falls into supernatural war.

Control
Whoever wins this type of operation will increase the support for their society’s
alliance in the target territory. Contested territories give 2.5 times the gain
of regular territories, war territories give 4 times the gain of contested. The
amount is influence by all factors which also influence resource gain from
operations, such as the number of operations won that week, number and variety
of societies participating, and how often the society runs operations at that
hour.
The cost below relates to the % of control needed in the territory in order
to perform that goal. For example, in order to calm the alliance needs

Operation Storyrunning
When making operations there is now a new optional field called storyrunners.
You can list character or SR names of people you want to be able to SR in that operation.
To SR an operation you use swalk operation once it starts, and then can use emote commands etc, your emotes should be seen by the whole operation. You cannot in general use SR commands that would influence the flow of battle such as injure, but have a few other commands you can use.
Syntax: Operation atmosphere (message)
This will set a message everyone will see when looking or moving in the operation, similar to a crisis atmosphere.
Syntax: Operation changeadversary (message)
This will rename the NPC adversaries to whatever you specify.
Syntax: Operation spawnelite (message)
If at least 4 NPCs would spawn on the next wave, half the NPCs won’t spawn and instead will be replaced by an elite mob with the specified string that is about as strong as they would have been. After using this command the next wave will go back to normal unless you use it again.
SRing in operations will earn karma at the same rate as SRing offworld.

Operation Types
Intercept:
All participating socities will arrive on the battlefield as well as a group
of adversaries. One of the adversaries will be holding the targeted item.
Every alliance has an extraction point which is the same point they spawned
in on. A timer will count down and when it’s done, if any team gets the
targeted item and gets back to their extraction point they win.
To obtain the item you must kill the NPC with it, at that point it will go
to their killer if they’re close by, or otherwise the closest elligble PC or
NPC. Being the carrier reduces your base speed to 10 + your stamina stat.
Shifted PCs cannot carry the item, not can people carry it flying. You can
use the handoff command to target another character to give the item to if
you end up carrying it.
The adversaries will be reinforced regularly with more soldiers. Should all
PCs on the field be defeated, the adversaries win. Characters can move
towards their extraction point with move extraction, but this argument won’t
work for charging or jumping.
Extraction:
Extraction works similarly to intercept except one of the members of the
alliance who designed the operation starts with the item of value and there
is only one extraction point for everyone, set somewhere randomly upon the
battlefield. As in intercept teams must wait until the timer expires and
then have the item on the extraction point.
Capture:
All participating alliances will arrive on the battlefield as well as a group
of adversaries. There will also be a capture location placed somewhere upon
the battlefield at random. If a character gets to that point they can then
use the command capture, or attack capture to progress their teams control.
This uses their attack for one round and puts that point onto cooldown for
one round so nobody else can use the command. Once one team has progressed
far enough they will win the operation.
The adversaries will be reinforced regularly with more soldiers. Should all
PCs on the field be defeated, the adversaries win. Characters can move
towards the capture point with move capture, but this argument won’t work
for charging or jumping.
Multiple Capture:
This works similarly to Capture except there are three capture locations,
each with independent cooldowns. So alliances can obviously win much faster
if they control all three, or at least two out of the three. Move capture
will move you towards your closest capture location.

operative
Syntax: Operative Faction/Cult/Sect Or Operative retire Faction/Cult/Sect
This command can only be used by characters who’ve spent at least 10k karma on their character and is part of a society.
It swaps the current character out with an operative from one of their groups who looks somewhat similar to them. The character using the command is sent home. Things like life force, intel etc are linked between operatives and their originating character. This command can be used even when helpless but cannot be used if there is someone in the room with you who is not helpless and who you do not seem to have sanctuary protection from.
Characters can use operatives to character out aggressive actions that are difficult for their PC to do for interpersonal reasons, or to provide altenative captives and targets or for any other purpose in which having more generic operatives of their groups may be useful.
You cannot have your originating character logged on at the same time as you are playing an active operative.

oppression
Oppression is a powerful curse that societies can levy against unprotected
targets. Nobody who is either a society member or a vassal can be targeted
by an oppression curse so long as their society has sanctuary protection. Unless
they previously quit the society doing the curse while higher than standing 1
and when the society had loyalty enforcement developed.
Oppression curses can only be removed by someone with commanding trust in the
society that placed it.
Society oppress (target) will place a curse.
Society unoppress (target) will lift one.
Once the curse has been placed even joining or being vassaled by another
society will not remove the effects.
Oppression curses weaponize bad luck, causing the victim’s things to be
stolen or break, making them much more likely to have accidents or be
discriminated against. It usually only takes a few weeks for an oppression
curse to reduce someone to complete destitution if it is not lifted.
Oppression curses cost around $4000 – $5000 resources.

Order
The order command utilizes society NPCs for the purposes of research. Society members with higher rank will be able to give additional types of commands, and will also get their results more quickly.
The character being researched does not need to be targeted by coded name. Remembered names or short descriptions will work as well, regardless if it is a mask, although inexact keywords may return an unintended target.
If the target changes their appearance by shifting or masking, the command will return, “Cannot be found.” Characters who are not online or not targetable will return a blank line.
Syntax: order file <target>
Min. Standing: 2
Cost: 0 influence
This returns basic information about members within your society, as well as whatever they have written in their file themselves. Leaders can see classified information and file notes.
Syntax: order investigate <target>

Syntax: order tail <target>
Syntax: scout <target>
Min. Standing: 4

paranormal
There are many unexplained phenomena in the world, one of the most
prevalent is people developing unusual abilities.
The abilities have little pattern to them but it has been noticed that
genetic relations seems to play at least some part, having a parent or grandparent with a supernatural gift markedly increases the likelihood of a child
having it, although the chances are still incredibly low.
Supernatural creatures also often acquire a variety of paranormal abilities as
they develop. This is much more common than humans developing them,
particularly with associated gifts.
Prolonged exposure to the gate seems to increase the chances for developing
a paranormal gift as well. Overall the development of each supernatural
creature is distinct, while several core traits usually stay the same they
then branch off into many distinct developments. In the case of vampires
and werewolves the one who turned the person usually has an impact on their
development.
Humans who possess some paranormal gift are also more likely to develop
others, although it’s unclear if this is natural or because of their greater
exposure to other supernatural elements caused by the pre-existing gift.
Certain abilities can cause concern or hostility amongst others, werewolves
who develop common vampire abilities are often thought poorly of amongst
their group and humans with paranormal gifts are often mistrusted by normal
humans or The Temple.
Supernaturals who develop similar abilities and traits often tend to
cluster, either simply because of their commonality or because of a belief
that they are similar for a reason, sharing a bloodline or being blessed by
a particular spirit etc.

Pathing
Levels: 0, 2, 3, 4
Requirements: Level 3: Tier 3, Level 4: Tier 4.
Syntax: travel pathing (location)
Syntax: travel pathing (location) (passengers)
When using the travel path command, the location is one of the numbers along
side locations in roomlist. For example: travel pathing 1.
Pathing is the main way in which supernaturals travel around the world, and
is particularly useful in other worlds where modern means of transportation
aren’t available. Building a path takes several minutes, but once it’s done
even long distances can be traveled quite quickly. When pathing it appears
as if you are walking or running along a path through a dark forest. While
leaving the path is possible in theory, those who do so have never been seen
again. Pathing conflicts with the nightmare, and you cannot path from within
the nightmare.
Syntax: path (person)
At level 3 characters can use pathing in combat to cover any distance and get
to their target instantly. This only works if they are not in the nightmare
however.
Syntax: path (direction)
At level 4 characters can use pathing to walk through walls, although after
each use they must wait a long time before using it again and cannot bring
anyone with them. What’s more if a character attempts to use pathing to walk
through a wall and there isn’t actually anything on the other side, they will
instantly die.

Patrol
Syntax: Patrol
Patrols are a system to generate RP encounters with other players. You must
first set your patrol habits with the habit command, see help patrol habits.
Then use patrol to toggle being on patrol. There are five types of patrol;
Hunting, which means your character spends some time going after
particularly dangerous monsters in the outer forest. Warfare, which means
your character attempts to attack their society’s enemies. Arcane, which
means your character will attempt to deal with mystical problems in Haven
and launch mystical attacks on their society’s enemies. Diplomatic, which
means your character will attempt to deal with social problems for your
society. And predator which means your character will attempt to seek out
weaker characters to prey upon them, for blood, money, psychic feeding or
other reasons.
Some types of patrol require you to move around in order to activate the
events, others do not but are aided by you doing such.
While every patrol event has code to go along with it and may convey coded
advantages or disadvantages from participation, their focus is on RP and
each is designed to have the majority of the time as RP time.
See the following helps for more information about the types of patrol
events.

Perception
Levels: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Requirements: Rank 3 requires Tier 3 or demigod or angelborn.
Rank 4-5 requires Tier 4-5.
This stat represents your ability to notice things that others might not. It
allows you to see any person attempting a stealth maneuver as long as your
perception is higher than their stealth.
Characters possessing perception above level 1 will also have an automatic
chance to detect if a ghost moves from the room that character currently
occupies. Such an ability is intuitive and does not indicate to where the ghost
has moved nor that it necessarily be a ghost leaving the room at all. The
character will, however, feel the loss of the presence.

petition
Syntax: Make Petition
Petitions allow players to communicate issues to staff, they are the only
way to do so that is guaranteed to be seen.
To create a petition simply type make petition and then fill in the fields,
possible types are bug, suggestion and request. The to field can be left
blank, and should be used if there’s one staff member in particular you need
to look at your petition, this is particularly useful if you need Daed or
Discordance to look at a petition.
Description puts you in an editor to write your petition and when you’re
done typing done will complete and send it. Petitions will last forever
until a staffer sets them as resolved or dismissed, and then will last for a
further 5 or so days after that.
Note: Staff often gets a hundred or more petitions a week, of these most
will be dismissed. For instance 90% of bug reports are not actually bugs,
but just someone misunderstanding/misusing code or plain not liking
something. Because of the very high noise to signal ratio it’s inevitable
that some legitimate petitions will be overlooked, and we apologize in
advance for these situations.
Note on Bugs: Most bug reports, even for real bugs are generally written in
a fairly bad way. If you’d like your issue to have a high chance of being
investigated and fixed you need to be clear and concise, give all character
names where relevant and report the bug in a way that’s reproducible. It’s
very common for someone to report a bug as simply X doesn’t work, then a
staffer tries it and it works fine and the issue is dismissed. Even though
there may well be a bug, but it’s that it only occurs in certain
circumstances which they weren’t informed of. With enough time staff can
fix essentially any bug as long as it’s reliably reproducible.
Renovate petition types are applications to be given ownership of a property
and a special flag allowing for free decoration up until the first rental
payment, which will also be free. These are granted when someone makes a
solid argument for wanting to change an existing property into something
more in theme or appropriate to the setting and should include the problems
with the existing property as well as the proposed changes.

is in public you may be able to attack them anyway by first pulling them
into the nightmare, see help nightmare for more information.
The Sanctuary spell protects people in Haven from being seriously wounded in
combat, and you will generally be unable to inflict more than minor wounds
on someone, the only way to resolve a conflict with a protected individual
is to attempt to knock them out.
To start a fight against another player you simply use attack (playername),
you can’t do this in public or protected areas like the Lodge.

plot size
Plots can be generally categorized as one of three types, small, medium
or large. SRs should try to do a balance of all three types.
Small plots involve a small group of players, generally five or less. They
have no large ramifications on the world or town, they involve either no
combat or no supernatural elements. If they involve supernatural elements
these are established ones. They are particularly suited to person plots
focused around a person and their history, non supernatural problems, or
investigations.
Medium plots can involve more players than small, but do not involve the
entire game. Their consequences and ramifications do not effect the world
or the entire town. Supernatural elements should still be established ones,
combat should be reasonable in scope, so as to not involve destruction of
buildings etc. They’re particularly suited to society plots, mysteries,
horror stories or to types similar to small but of large scope and
supernatural impact.
Large plots are anything that doesn’t fit into the other two categories,
they may involve large conflicts, new lore, heavy supernatural elements etc.
Obviously new lore must still be run by staff and permission for these sorts
of plots is usually required as they will impact more players than just
those who’ve trusted you.

Plot Types
Adventure – Adventures take place out of Haven entirely and are always
opt-in. Players and characters make a choice to go along or not and then
apply, SRs take those that apply off grid and run the adventure before
returning them. SRs receive Karma bonuses for these plots, and can
pass/fail players and give out awards at the end. SRs are given advanced
trust over everyone going on an adventure with them.
Joint/Competetive – Other types of adventure, either with different groups
working together, or different groups working against each other.
Quest – A personalized adventure, this might be an adventure for just one
person or for a small group of people but the people who are going on it are
preselected ahead of time. The Karma rewards for SRs are lower than that of
open adventures, but the players can still be passed/failed and earn
rewards.
Other – Any other type of plot, usually something that takes place partly or
wholly in Haven. Other plots are much rarer than adventures and usually
much more low key/non supernatural. They generate karma at an ambiance rate
Personal – A type of other plot targeted at a particular player or group of
players. Also takes place partly or wholly in Haven, and tend to be very
lowknife key/non supernatural. Personal plots generate karma at the ambiance
rate and gain no extra karma on completion.
Mystery – A type of plot based on investigation. SRs who are running
mysteries can gain karma from creating research and writing IC notes. They
also can create hidden room descriptions. Mysteries can take place in
Haven, but don’t involve violence or action. They conclusion may involve
those things but if so it has to occur either out of Haven or in the outer
forest.
Crisis – This is a type of plot that happens in Haven but can involve
significant supernatural elements. When approved the author can use the
storyidea makecalendar command to turn it into a calendar event, between when
the event starts and 6 hours later, the author gains broadcast/crisis/news powers
as well as T1 trust on all people with story on and karma gains like they were
running a plot.

possession
Syntax: possess (person)
Syntax: force (target) (action)
Syntax: private (target) (message)
Possession is a special function of ghosts which allows them to inhabit the body
of other characters. When possessing another character, a ghost will be
undetectable unless a character with clairvoyance or perception looks at the
possessed. Characters with clairvoyance 2 will always detect the presence of a
ghost, but those with clairvoyance 1 or perception will only have a chance to
notice. Characters who are possessed will feel slightly colder to the touch.
A ghost will be carried around to wherever the possessed character ventures and
in this way enter some areas that they could not otherwise enter. They also
gain the ability to use the force command as a manifestation power to overpower
their vessel momentarily and can send private emotes to their vessel without
cost. Neither the ghost’s name or the privately tag will appear in these
messages facilitating a more haunting experience.
Ghosts cannot be used to possess and force people to remove sanctuary by
speaking the words to do so.

Power Scale
This helpfile indicates the general combat strength of characters of
different types. As a general rule of thumb you can add combat
strengths together to see who is likely to win a fight, although
obviously in practice tactics and teamwork plays a huge role.
It’s primary purpose is to help SRs pick appropriate strengths
for their NPC characters and monsters.
PCs
Combat Strength: 1-6
Superpowers
-Superpowers tend to have powerful abilities to manipulate the
environment, similar to PC combat abilities but of much greater
scope and power. Gods are also indestructible. All Superpowers
are highly unlikely to involve themselves directly in fights,
and even when they do are likely to be joined by many creatures
of their own creation. Superpowers tend to fight at range with
magical attacks, brawling or using melee weapons in close. Fae
are very gifted shapeshifters and can move incredibly fast,
while archdemons often fleshform themselves as they fight and
have amazing regenerative powers and strength. Gods tend to
be well balanced physically and amazingly strong.
Gods:
Combat Strength: 15-20
Fae:
Combat Strength: 12-16
Archdemons:
Combat Strength: 16-20
Creatures
Demons:
Combat Strength: 3-9
-Demons tend to fight at range with guns on earth or bone spur
firing guns in hell, in close with their natural weaponry or
melee weapons, they’re very strong, and usually have potent
regenerative powers.
Angels:
Combat Strength: 4-8
-Angels tend to fight at range with magical attacks and use
melee weapons in close, they’re very strong and don’t seem to
feel any pain.
NPCS

different types. As a general rule of thumb you can add combat
strengths together to see who is likely to win a fight, although
obviously in practice tactics and teamwork plays a huge role.
It’s primary purpose is to help SRs pick appropriate strengths
for their NPC characters and monsters.
PCs
Combat Strength: 1-6
Superpowers
-Superpowers tend to have powerful abilities to manipulate the
environment, similar to PC combat abilities but of much greater
scope and power. Gods are also indestructible. All Superpowers
are highly unlikely to involve themselves directly in fights,
and even when they do are likely to be joined by many creatures
of their own creation. Superpowers tend to fight at range with
magical attacks, brawling or using melee weapons in close. Fae
are very gifted shapeshifters and can move incredibly fast,
while archdemons often fleshform themselves as they fight and
have amazing regenerative powers and strength. Gods tend to
be well balanced physically and amazingly strong.
Gods:
Combat Strength: 15-20
Fae:
Combat Strength: 12-16
Archdemons:
Combat Strength: 16-20
Creatures
Demons:
Combat Strength: 3-9
-Demons tend to fight at range with guns on earth or bone spur
firing guns in hell, in close with their natural weaponry or
melee weapons, they’re very strong, and usually have potent
regenerative powers.
Angels:
Combat Strength: 4-8
-Angels tend to fight at range with magical attacks and use
melee weapons in close, they’re very strong and don’t seem to
feel any pain.

Praise
The praise command uses influence in order to augment another player.
Other players won’t see the echo of it being used.
Praise (name) character (amount) (reason)
This will award the target some influence based on the amount spent.
Praise (name) appearance (amount) (reason)
This will give the target a boost to their apparent attractiveness based on
the influence spent.
Praise (name) loyalty (amount) (reason)
This will give the target some respect within their society based on the
influence spent.
It takes the form: You speak well of her/his loyalty because (reason)
Praise (name) roleplay (message)
This will send a private, delayed message to someone and is used for giving
RP feedback, it has no coded effect and requires no influence.
Praise (name) villainy (message)
This means you find the target particularly scary and will improve their villainy
ranking, help villainy.
The max influence that can be spent at a time is 10000, you should not spam
the command to bypass this cap.
You can also use praise on yourself, doing so does not require a
reason.

Predatory Patrol Events
Predatory patrols require you to be moving around the grid.
One)
You identify a potential target, normally this means someone with the
reckless habit, but sometimes can mean others if they’re moving through
unsafe areas. You will see the target’s intro or whatever you have them
remembered as and then have a chance to attempt to go after them. If
successful you and the target are both moved into an instanced room.
The target is given a list of options to get away with the escape
command and you have the option of continuing to follow or giving up.
As the patrol continues your level of fixation will increase, which
has significant effects on you and your target, see help fixation
You can use patrol prey (character name) to target a specific
character however this is only generally usable once a week unless the
target is in a room that is wreathed in mist.

Pregnancy
Characters may become pregnant through use of the sex command. Many factors are
involved, but primarily whether or not sex occurs during the fertility window
surrounding ovulation, when precisely it occurs, and the potency of the male’s
contribution. Contraceptives work against the chance that a character may
become pregnant and are generally effective.
Menstruation is the outward sign of female fertility, but both sexes have
components which render them more or less fertile. For females, this is
mostly the timing at which they have unprotected sex and when they ovulate.
Men, however, have to worry about how many times they have sex, protected or
otherwise, within a certain span of time. A man who has sex every day still has
the potential to impregnate a woman, however, the chance of it occurring is
substantially lower as are their opportunities to do so.
Neither female nor male vampires are considered fertile according to the code at
this time.
Should a character become pregnant, she will be subject to an extra string of
look information describing her state. This may be obscured during early phases
by wearing concealing clothing, but will always be visible during later stages.
Prior to showing, a character can test whether they have become pregnant by
using a pregnancy test via the use command. Any object containing the keywords
pregnancy and test can be used in this way and doing so will cause the character
to urinate on the object. This also sets the item’s value to 0. These tests
are generally ineffective before the character misses their next period.
Note: If a shifter becomes pregnant while in their animal form, they will
be unable to revert to human form until they give birth or the pregnancy is
terminated. Shifters in animal form may only be impregnated by other animals
or shifters in animal form.
Characters may be subject to additional effects throughout the duration of the
pregnancy to ensure that players behave and are reminded of the reality of their
situation.
In the event that a character suffers a severe wound or greater, there will be
the possibility of a miscarriage. Players who are pregnant or suspect they may
be pregnant should take great care to avoid dangerous situations. Attempts to
intentionally cause a miscarriage by other players constitutes an Understanding
violation. Miscarriages otherwise never result as a random chance and are
always attributable to character negligence or intent.
Should a character wish to willingly terminate a pregnancy for any reason, she
may use the procedure pregnancy command. This command may also be used in the
event that the character wishes to become pregnant via an NPC donor. The cost
of beginning a pregnancy is substantially higher than the costs of terminating
one though both are prohibitive. The cost of terminating a pregnancy depends
on how long the pregnancy has been allowed to continue prior to the use of the
command. Pregnancies beyond twenty four weeks can’t be terminated as per
Massachusetts unless the mother is at risk. Since that isn’t an issue presented
by the code, pregnancies can not be terminated beyond twenty four weeks.
Syntax: change pregnancy
Toggles the character’s pregnancy state. This command requires a medical
facility and has a cost associated with it depending on whether or not the
character is already pregnant. Using this command while pregnant will inflict
a minor wound on the character.

Probe
For storyrunners
probe (person) (stat, stat…)
–Find out about the stats, disciplines or abilities of someone you are RPing with. They do not have to be in the room with you. Each stat is described the same way showstat would describe it, so you see what their level means as well as the number. You can ask about several at once: separate them with commas, since many stat names are more than one word. For example, probe Anna Acute Hearing, Strength, Larceny.
–A name one letter out is still recognised. A stat they do not have may be left out of the answer; if nothing you asked about can be shown, you are told there is no such stat.
–For each stat, though not for disciplines, you are also told how they acquired it where that is recorded: self mastered, taught by someone, acquired through blackmail, and so on.
–To probe someone they must have given you trust, or be in a room you are running. Unless they have given you trust 2 or higher, they are shown what you probed and the answer you got.
–Abomination stats stay hidden unless they have given you trust 3. A hidden stat reads as though they simply do not have it.
–You can only probe players.
probe (person) experience
–See their worlds experience.
For players
probe (person) (stat)
–Send someone in the room an anonymous request to demonstrate a discipline or stat. Use its exact name. It might be used after someone has done something in RP that would require a stat people are unsure they have. While you don’t have to use showstat after someone probed you, failing to do so might be considered poor RP practice.

Syntax: procedure breasts (larger/smaller)
Syntax: procedure height (taller/shorter)
Syntax: procedure sex
Changes a character’s physical attributes. The character must be within the
surgery room of the hospital.
Syntax: procedure fertility
Syntax: procedure pregnancy
Toggles a character’s fertility or pregnancy status. Costs vary depending on
the character’s sex and current status. Changes are meant to be permanent and
are not guarenteed to be reversable.
Syntax: procedure appearance
Causes all characters to lose their remembered names for the character.
Syntax: procedure rapekit
A rapekit allows characters to check for the DNA of another person within
themselves. This is only effective if the event that occured was or included
unprotected coital sex, but does not provide whether the act was consentual or
not nor does it provide any means for the character to identify the owner of
any DNA found. The Sheriff’s department files this information away (or loses
it) in the event that the accused rapist ever goes to trial. Due to the
timeframe involved, such trials are beyond the scope of the game.
The following chart displays the cost in USD for each operation:
,————————————————————————–,
| Operation Cost |
|————————————————————————–|
| Rapekit Free |
| Breast Augmentation or Reduction $500 per increment |
| Height Augmentation or Reduction $500 per increment |
| Vasectomy $675 per operation |
| Eye Augmentation $1,000 per operation |
| Abortion $810 – $1,975 per operation |
| Tubal Ligation $3,750 per operation |
| General Appearance Alteration $5,000 per operation |
| Vasectomy Reversal $5,000 per operation |
| Tubal Ligation Reversal $6,600 per operation |
| Sex Reassignment Surgery $10,000 per operation |
| In Vitro Fertilization $21,720 per operation |

Note: All surgeries will wound the character undergoing them and may require a
subsequent hospital stay. Procedures require an appropriate facility.
The surgery room within the medical center will always be considered an
appropriate facility.

A proctor has authority over any other student of lower standing who is not a proctor:
College traumatize
–Flag yourself as traumatizing, as staff can. Your victims gain a little pending prestige; you gain standing.
College report (student)
–Have the student taken to a solitary cell for up to two hours. Reporting costs you 100 prestige, which can cost you the position.
College probation (student) (days)
–Confine the student to campus for up to seven days (0 lifts it).
Proctors are marked on college roll.

Professional Focus
There are three main focus paths: the arcane tree (minions, rituals, mancing); the combat tree (melee and ranged combat); and the professional tree (wealth, contacts, and social/job skills). Each focus tree has its own set of foci within it. Every point spent in one of these trees, regardless of whether or not it’s on the same focus, unlocks greater potential for development in terms of stats and occasionally powers. When points are spent on the same focus, you develop additional abilities related to that focus line. The following are the unlocked abilities for the professional tree:
[Professional One]:
Contacts (all) 2: Allows higher contact stats, which increases payout on all contact jobs.
Education 3: Represents greater academic knowledge.
Politics 2: Improves society standing, loyalty praise/diss, and payout on diplomacy patrol events.
Wealth 2: Increases weekly paycheck and bank account interest rate.

Psychic Battles
Psychic Battles form the backbone of how societies manipulate the mundane
world. They involve using machines which link together the psyches of a large
number of people in a targeted locale. This creates a sort of shared psychic
plane that all those inviduals share.
Operatives of the society then project themselves into this psychic plane or
order to make changes. Whatever they change in this world will change the
minds of those who are part of it. If they break down a door in the psychic
plane, security guards in the physical plane will leave it unlocked, or
builders will forget to build it properly all while being entirely unaware
that they’re doing anything unusual.
While the effects of these actions can sometimes be unpredicable, they are
constant enough to make them well worthwhile. They are unfortunately also
highly predictable, with other societies easily being able to read the
increasing psychic energy when one is attempted, and being able to
send operatives of their own to thwart the attempts of others or ideally
to take advantage of them for themselves.
The subconcious minds of those who make up the planes also usually attempt
to defend themselves against this intrusion, with soldiers or guards of
some sort typically manifesting in the psychic plane to repel the intruders.
These also usually grow in strength the longer the attempted infiltration.
Only the mind of operatives attending these battles roams, their body
simply falls asleep. Although this does render them rather vulnerable
to enemies who may be waiting for just such an opportunity. The abilities
of operatives in the psychic plane always seem to perfectly mirror their
real world abilities, despite many attempts by the societies to date to
try and trick operatives in order to believe they are far superior to
reality in the hope it will manifest as improved skills in the psychic
plane.

Psychic Persuasion
Levels: 0, 1
Requirements: Supernatural Tier 2
This stat represents a character’s ability to bring psychic forces to bear on convincing people to do as they wish, it is generally much more subtle than hypnotism, can be done more often and doesn’t require someone to be put into a trance. Each use of it however costs 0.15% of your life force and the costs to resist are usually much lower and much more affected by environmental factors.
After using the command nothing will initially happen, but when you follow it up with an emote or say that contains the message the persuade will be triggered and will send a message to the target about the attempt which they can then resist or accept. This allows psychic persuasion to be used very subtly as nobody besides the target will even see anything untoward going on. Targets are also ICly unaware when they’re being psychically influenced.
Syntax: persuade (target) (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (message)
Example: Samantha types, “persuade orlando generosity peerpressure lust go ahead and buy this round of drinks“
Example: Samantha types, “emote laughs at @orlando and casually tosses her shoulders in a shrug, “Oh, well,” she decides, “why don’t you go ahead and buy this round of drinks, since you’re sticking around?”“
Result: “You need to go ahead and buy this round of drinks.”
Example: Marcus types, “persuade vivienne fear gratitude logic remember that it was nice ol’ Marcus who let you go, next time he comes calling for a favour“
Example: Marcus types, “say to vivienne Well, I guess we don’t /need/ to bleed you dry, but you just make sure you remember that it was nice ol’ Marcus who let you go, next time he comes calling for a favour, how about that?“
Result: “You need to remember that it was nice ol’ Marcus who let you go, next time he comes calling for a favour.”
Example: Derica types, “persuade sveta peerpressure curiosity lust come around to my dorm room after class and see what happens“
Example: Derica types, “emote smiles flirtatiously at @sveta and bats her lashes, “Why don’t you come around to my dorm room after class and see what happens, then?”“
Result: “You need to come around to my dorm room after class and see what happens.”
Example: Moander types, “persuade tyche curiosity anger peerpressure You can try it, just to see what it’s like.“
Example: Moander types, “say to tyche curiosity anger peerpressure What do they know? They’re just trying to keep you under their thumb! You can try it, just to see what it’s like.“
Result: “You need to You can try it, just to see what it’s like..”
Note that a period is automatically appended for you; adding one yourself will result in a double period. Due to the way imprints work, you will want to ensure that your message never begins with a capital letter, and that if it references your character, it does so in the third person.

Relic Holder
Positive Tier Modifier
Replacable: Yes.
This modifier represents someone who has found a powerful ancient relic to
augment themselves with. Only jewelry and weapons can be relics. Once the
modifier is taken the relic is created with customize (object) relic. Only
one relic can ever be created, even if your positive modifier changes.
Relics cannot be destroyed nor stored in a stash, if you do not have your
relic on your person you will face serious debuffs to your effective life
force. Only your relic will work for you. This obviously makes relic
holders particularly vulnerable to theft and/or blackmail.
ICly Relic holders all have deals with some sort of dark power. They may
have acquired the relic through that pact or have obtained it in some other
way and just made the pact to keep it safe. Those who don’t make a deal
will inevitably end up having their relic stolen by another more powerful
entity. These deals are usually much less extreme than those of demonic
pact holdes however, with a severity that varies significantly from one
person to the next depending on circumstances.

being over about the act being not ICly motivated.
If you think this applies to you, contact the immortals.

Ritual
A ritual is a type of magic that doesn’t require you to be able to see your
target, but does take a fair bit of time and energy. Characters need at least
ritualism 1 to be able to perform rituals. They are also quite time consuming,
taking generally two hours to complete, although those with the incantation
stat can reduce this significantly. If a character is attacked, struck or
pinned while attempting a ritual it will fail and they will have to start again.
Life Force Costs per level of Ritualism: 1: 21%, 2: 12%, 3: 9%, 4: 6%, 5: 4%
Some rituals are more or less expensive however. If a character performing
a ritual is taken below 75% life force they may pass out for a time, or if
taken below 60% may even die. The power of the ritual when it strikes is
determined by the arcane focus of the practitioner and the tier of the target.
Rituals that finish during the witching hour, 3AM to 4AM, cost less life force.

All curses and hexes can now be cast with: ritual (type) (target) maintain
This form costs half as much upfront and will continue the effect until the
caster terminates it with ritual terminate. While maintaining the spell the
caster is at -10% life force. Being the target of severe pain victimize has
a chance to terminate these rituals early.
Using maintain requires ritualism level 2 or arcane focus level 1.

Roleplay Rewards
Roleplay rewards
Roleplaying with other people earns you roleplay experience, influence and personal karma. Roleplay experience comes in two halves. Half is paid as you write, by how much you write. The other half is set aside and paid once your recent roleplay has been graded, scaled by the grade. For an average writer the two halves come to about what length alone would pay. Thin writing earns less, and strong writing earns more.
As you write
–Each emote pays half its roleplay experience at once and sets the other half aside for your next grade.
–A single emote counts for at most 1,000 characters. Anything longer pays as if it were 1,000.
–Writing faster than 200 characters a minute counts for only a fifth. Take your time over each pose.
–These limits also apply to the influence and personal karma your writing earns.
–Repeating an emote earns nothing.
–Roleplaying with more people pays a little more. Private mode, or having story turned off, halves it.
–Personal karma is paid in full as you write. It is not graded.
Grading
–Your roleplay is looked at when you log in after being away for four hours or more. It is graded once there is enough of it: about 1,500 words of public scenes from the last two weeks, at least 500 of them your own, with at least one other writer. For dream roleplay it is about 1,000 words.
–Scenes you play in private mode are never graded.
–Grades are turned into rewards every afternoon. They are paid to your character once a day while you are logged in.
–Your newest grade pays out everything you have set aside since your last payout.
–A grade also earns you respect with your societies and prestige if you are a college student or staff member. A dream grade earns dream experience.
–If a grading fails, your roleplay is graded again later, so nothing you set aside is lost.
Dream karma
While you run a calendar event of your own in a dreamworld, your roleplay there also earns dream karma, for up to six hours after the event starts. It works the same way: half as you write, and half when your dream roleplay is graded. Dream karma stops once your account has earned 2,500 of it, or a fifth of all the karma it has ever earned, whichever is larger.
Storyrunners
Storyrunner karma is split the same way. Half is paid by your writing as you run the scene, and the other half comes from grading the log once it is finished.
–An encounter comes with a karma battery, normally 2,000. Your writing during the encounter draws on the battery and pays you half of what it draws, so a full battery pays about 1,000.
–When the encounter log closes, it is graded for roughly the same amount again. A strong log pays somewhat more. A weak one pays less, or nothing.
–Finished plot logs are graded the same way.
–Very short logs are not graded.
–Graded karma arrives some time after the log ends. It is paid once a day while you are logged in, to your storyrunner or to your own character.
–If a log fails to grade, it is tried again later.

Roleplaying Angelborn
There’s a few things it’s important to keep in mind when playing
Angelborn. Angelborn are to some extent natural victims, the fact that they
can be more powerfully hypnotized and in general more easy to coerced often
leads to them being an ideal choice if someone’s looking for a victim or
sidekick etc. You shouldn’t play a character like this if you’re too
worried about bad things happening to them. Also though, and probably more
importantly, angelborn are particularly resistant to angst. Even if one is
captured and tortured while the torture is going on they want it a little
bit, not enough to be ok with it, but it is not as bad as for others, and
afterwards they’re surrounded by people who want them to get over it.
Either because they’re their friends and want them to feel better, or
because they find it irritating. Which through their empathy causes them to
rebound fairly quickly. This is important because it means Angelborn are an
extremely poor choice of character if you’re seeking to RP the aftermath or
seek sympathy.

Roleplaying Explained
Roleplaying is the art of being someone else, of creating and embodying
a fictional character. Roleplaying is mandatory on Haven, your character
must act like they are a real person at all times and not someone’s game
avatar. The exception to this is a few OOC channels.
Emote allows your character to do describe what your character is doing
at any given time. Used like emote does a dance. Would show up as (your
character name) does a dance. To everyone else in the room. Additional
functionality for the emote command can be found under help emoting.
Say is used for when your character just wants to talk, although you can
mix your conversation into an emote, this saves a lot of time and allows
conversations to flow quicker and easier.
Whisper can be used to convey a private message to someone, used like
whisper to <person> <message>
Socials are pre-written emotes for doing very common things, they cover
things such as nodding or smiling and are a little quicker and easier to
use than emotes.

Roleplaying Guide
Good roleplaying is an art, it can take years to master and some people
never seem to be able to get a good grip on it. Mostly it’s similar to
writing fiction, the big differences are that you’re writing in real time
with no chance to edit, and that you’re writing for the other authors.
It’s impossible to learn how to RP very well from just one guide, it is an
endless pursuit, and you can be sure that the best RPers get to be that way
because they are constantly working on and refining their art. Those that
feel their RP is already ‘good enough’ are doomed to never improve beyond
the mediocre.
Good roleplaying breaks down to two areas, good characterization and good RP
writing.
RP writing is the art of using says, emotes, descriptions etc to convey what
your character is doing. This is almost exactly the same as the qualities
of what makes a good fiction writer with one exception. In a story it’s
perfectly ok even considered normal to describe your characters emotions and
thoughts, in RP it often isn’t. Although there’s some debate on the issue
the difference comes about because when writing a novel you want people to
identify with your character, when RPing you want to identify with your
character, other people identify with theirs.
The other reason for this is that few people are perfect at keeping IC and
OOC knowledge separate, it’s very common for someone to react differently if
you emote that you fancy them, even though their character shouldn’t know
that and therefore shouldn’t act any differently.
Generally it’s better to follow the same rule that teachers of fiction
writing beat their students over the head with ‘show don’t tell. ‘ Don’t
tell people what your character is thinking or feeling, show them. Use your
emotes and the way they speak to convey that they fancy that person or
dislike this person.
The other keys to good RP writing are:
Write something that’s easy to read and flows nicely, paying attention to
spelling and grammar etc as much as possible. Include all relevant details,
the devil is in the details as they say and a few words to describe the way
in which someone does something can add a lot to the RP.
Brevity, good writing isn’t longer than it has to be, the shorter your
emotes and says the less work you’re requiring your reader to do. Any
reader would prefer a 200 page book, to a 500 page book with all the same
stuff in it but 300 more pages of furniture descriptions.
Speed, people don’t like waiting around longer than they have to, the
quicker you can RP the more RP they’re getting for their time. Language,
just like in fiction writing the use of certain words or phrases are much
more likely to strike a chord in people and get your meaning across than
others. Try to use words and phrases that create vivid imagery and convey
things strongly without being overly flowery or convoluted.
Some of these do work a little at cross purposes, trying to include detail
and spell check your RP while also trying to be quick and brief is a
challenge, each person needs to strike their own balance of what works for
them.
The only way to really improve your RP writing is with practice, get out
there and RP and learn from others as well as seek out positive and negative
criticisms. If most people think your emotes are too long and needlessly
wordy maybe think about working on making them shorter. Ultimately it is up
to you, but the other players are your readers, if they don’t want to read
your work, what is the point?
Good characterization is the other half to good RP. It refers to being able
to create a character who’s interesting and realistic.
Creating an interesting character is really about creating a character
that’s good for the story, you might be able to make an extremely realistic
tax clerk character but nobody is going to care about him. An interesting
character is measured by their ability to create RP and their ability to
join to and add to the RP of others.
It’s important to note that RP is a collaborative effort, your character can
never be the star they are one member of an ensemble cast. Sometimes the
storyline might thrust you center stage but other times it might thrust
someone else. People get very sick very quickly of playing with someone who
tries to make all RP be about them.
A good and very common example of this is characters with traumatic
pasts/lives. When a character goes through something traumatic in game,
this naturally pushes them more center stage, with a lot of the RP revolving
around the sympathy they get, possibly plans for revenge or ways to help
them deal with it. Every other character around who has a more traumatic
past steals from this attention, nobody else can ever get sympathy because
what they went through is so much worse.
This doesn’t mean you can’t have traumatic incidents in your character’s
past, but it’s very important for you to think about other people when you
make your character, how your character can add to RP that isn’t about them,
and if they’re likely to detract from that RP maybe you need to re-evaluate
them.
Being a good side character is about both adding constructive and
destructively to RP. A character who’s always nice all the time is boring,
a character who’s always a jerk similarly. Interesting character conflicts
and situations arise from those characters who sometimes are supportive and
sometimes cause conflict. If your character can do both of these, and avoid
any spotlight stealing, then you probably have a really good side character.
Being a good main character is mostly about not being selfish. If the
bounty hunters are after you, yes that might be your problem but if your
character is really set on dealing with it all on their own it gives nobody
else anything to do. When you find yourself in the spotlight is when it’s
more important to be gracious, involve other people in the story in
important ways. In return they’re more likely to do the same to you when
it’s their turn.
Sometimes RP isn’t really about you or someone else mostly, but communal.
This often happens in social RP for instance. What makes a good communal
character is mostly the same things that make a good side or main character.
Don’t spotlight steal, get other people involved, add to the RP in
interesting and not always predictable ways. Adding to the RP is important,
you might think it’s cool to be gruff and silent, but nobody is going to
want to play with you much.
The other thing that makes a really great interesting character is the
ability to make RP happen in the first place! A character with reasons to
RP with a lot of people, get them involved in things, make various other
types of RP happen is crucial to a fun game. Examples might be characters
who throw parties, a journalist who seeks out lots of other PCs to interview
etc.
If you have a character who has the qualities of both a good main character,
a good side character, a good communal character, and creates RP then you
have a really good interesting character!
The other half of the battle is realism.
Realism is very important and often overlooked, it doesn’t matter if your
character is a vampire or sorcerer. Stories must have internal validity,
they must be believable within that world, even if they’re fantasy stories,
some would say especially if they are. The second your character starts
feeling fake and not like a real person people will stop caring about them,
and it’s very hard to get them to again. Very good realistic characters can
make people in real life cry when they’re hurt, cheer when they’re
triumphant and swoon when they kiss, and that’s what you should be aiming
for.
Making a realistic character can be very hard, there’s a lot of different
opinions on the ways to go about it. A lot of people like to model
characters on themselves or people they know very well, and this is
generally a solid and reliable way to make your character quite realistic.
The old writer’s adage of ‘write what you know’. Unfortunately it’s often
the case that you want to play something quite different from yourself or
anybody you know. In these situations information is your friend, spend a
little time on the internet researching the areas you want to look at and
the people you’re trying to emulate.
The more you learn the better your character is likely to be, but for most
characters a few pages of Wikipedia is probably sufficient. This does refer
to all areas of your character, lots of people are good at doing a bit of
research if they want their character to be say a doctor. But it’s a lot
rarer to see people do research before involving a character in a same sex
relationship or making a model or musician.
So that’s characterization, it’s also largely about practice, taking criticism
and learning from others, but it’s also very much about putting the work in
before you make the character and about really being able to take a step
back and thinking about the other players, who are your audience, and how
you can deliver a realistic and interesting character for them.
Once you have mastered both RP writing and characterization, the RP world
will be your proverbial oyster.

Once you have mastered both RP writing and characterization, the RP world
will be your proverbial oyster.
Roleplaying Society Positions
Society positions define the political and philosophical positions of
societies. Societies are groups who join together in order to change the
world in different ways, the noparticipate option for societies allows you
to create societies which have no such ambitions for the world, but
generally people would not even form a society if they were not interested
in such and simply continue on as individuals, or join a society they don’t
believe in just for the support and protection and pay. Similar to how
normal people frequently work in jobs they don’t believe in for the pay.
Societies without any real goals, or with goals that would be pursued by
people even if the group did not exist, have a hard time attracting backing
from the wider supernatural community, similar to how a political party
might not get many donations if they had no manifesto or their manifesto was
for people to people to shower regularly.
Pro-Supernatural:
These societies want to make things better for supernatural people compared
to mundanes. It might be that they believe supernaturals currently have
things worse and their efforts are to try and balance things out, but
especially at higher levels of belief, is more often about wanting to make
mundanes more of a second class citizen. They may encourage shadow
supernatural governments that manipulate the mundane government, or endorse
supernatural laws that make using powers against mundanes legal.
Anti-Supernatural:
The inverse of the pro-supernatural groups these want to make things better
for mundanes compared to supernaturals. Sometimes because they think
they’re worse off, other times because they just want humans to be better
off. They typically try to endorse supernatural laws that strictly prohibit
the use of supernatural abilities on normal people, and may even want to
keep watch lists of supernaturals and treat them as criminals.
Spiritual:
These groups typically want to see technology play a smaller role in
people’s lives compared to more traditional or spiritual activities. They
are generally opposed to dense urban centers and want significant
restrictions or oversight on new technological development. They are also
often opposed to free market capitalism, and industrial development.
Material:
These groups usually want more technological and industrial development.
They are usually for free market capitalism and want less hurdles in the way
of scientific and financial progress. While they are not necessarily
anti-environment they usually promote more planned, scientific approaches to
environmental problems.
Combative:
These groups want to see combat or direct conflict resolve differences.
This usually means less complicated laws with people having more
responsibility to protect themselves as well as not prohibiting violence as
a means of conflict resolution in the supernatural world. Combatively
powerful individuals are usually given more important positions within the
shadow governments they form. Their shadow governments are also usually
very martial in design.
Manipulative:
These groups want to see combat used less for conflict resolution and
instead have legal procedures, diplomacy or social manipulation used. They
tend to have harsher rules against open violence, but more evolved
procedures for dealing with problems or attacking enemies with legal, social
or diplomatic measures. Clever and cunning individuals are usually given
more important positions within the shadow governments they form.
Corrupt:
These groups believe in and support inequality, with more privileges and
power going to a select few, either certain types of people or members of
that society and their allies. They believe it is the right of the strong
to rule over and do with the weak as they wish and that it is the role of
the weak to help support the strong. Their shadow governments typically run
on the back of what is effectively slavery and what laws the do have will
only exist to protect their chosen few from the masses and never the
reverse.
Virtuous:
These groups support equality, they tend to fight for efforts to ensure all
people have the same basic rights and protections and that laws and systems
are put in place to ensure that the weak and vulnerable are protected from
being preyed upon. They often influence their territories to be more
socially progressive.
Autocratic:
These groups support inequality in government, generally supporting
dictatorships, oligarchies, aristocracies and similar systems of
determination in which a few decide for the many.
Democratic:
These groups support equality in decision making, generally supporting
various types of democracy both in their own organizations and in the
territories they control.
Anarchistic:
These groups tend to support very little law, both in the supernatural world
and the territories they control. Usually very anti-regulation and
supporting of smaller governments with more individual freedom and
determination.
Lawful:
These groups tend to support very robust legal systems and regulations both
in the supernatural world and in territories they control. This might still
mean that in a corrupt society mundanes and weaker individuals have no
rights or legal protections, but it will mean those that do have legal
protections will have very stringent and robust forms.
Neutral:
When a society is neutral on a particular position that means they wish
things to stay as they are. They will generally fight against efforts to
change things by either other side and will work to establish infrastructure
that makes that change more difficult.

Roll
Calling for rolls
When a storyrunner wants chance to decide how something turns out, they can call for a roll. The storyrunner judges how hard the task is and how much your stats help, and the dice do the rest. Rolls only happen with a storyrunner in the room: nobody else sets the challenge.
How a roll goes
–The storyrunner may prompt you with calltry (you). You can also start on your own.
–You say what you are attempting and which of your stats apply, with try (action) with (stat, stat…).
–Anyone else in the room can help with assist (you) (how they help).
–The storyrunner sets the challenge with rollchallenge. You are shown the number you need and the die you roll.
–You type roll and the dice decide.
Rolling
roll (1-10)
–Roll against the challenge that has been set for you. The number is how many times the dice bounce before they land, which is only for show. Leave it off and the dice bounce three to seven times.
roll fail
–Deliberately fail the roll without a critical failure, for when the story is better served by it going wrong.
roll critfail
–Deliberately roll a critical failure.
How the dice are read
You roll one die, plus one more for each person assisting you, up to the number of assistants the challenge allows. Your best die is the result, and you succeed if it meets or beats the number you need.
–If any die shows a 1, the roll is a critical failure, however well the other dice did.
–Otherwise, if any die shows its highest face, the roll is a critical success.
–So every assistant makes success more likely, but also makes a critical failure more likely.
Once you have rolled, the challenge, your attempt and everyone’s assistance are cleared, ready for the next one.

Rollchallenge
Rollchallenge
Storyrunners only. Once a player in the room has used try, this sets the challenge they roll against.
rollchallenge (player) (difficulty 0-5) (helpfulness 0-3)
rollchallenge (player) (difficulty) (helpfulness) (assistants 0-5) (randomness 0-3)
–Difficulty is how hard the task is in itself: 0 Trivial, 1 Easy, 2 Moderate, 3 Hard, 4 Very Hard, 5 Extreme.
–Helpfulness is how much the stats they named actually help at the level they have them: 0 None, 1 Low, 2 Moderate, 3 High.
–Assistants is the most extra dice other people may add by assisting. It defaults to 3. If the player limited their assistants when they used try, the lower of the two numbers applies.
–Randomness swaps the usual twenty-sided die for a bigger one: 0 is a D20, 1 a D32, 2 a D44, 3 a D56. The number needed is scaled with the die, so the chance of success stays about the same, but critical successes and critical failures become rarer.
On a D20 the number needed is 2, plus 6 for each step of difficulty, less 1, 4 or 9 for Low, Moderate or High helpfulness. It is never lower than 1 or higher than 20. The player and the room are shown the challenge level, the help level and the number needed, and the player is told to roll.
rollchallenge (player) trivial
–No roll needed: the room is told the attempt simply succeeds.
rollchallenge (player) impossible
–No roll needed: the room is told the attempt cannot succeed.
The player must have used try first, and must be in the room with you. NPCs do not roll.

Roomlist
Syntax: room list/roomlist
This lists all rooms travel-accessible to your character, largely public rooms
and rooms created by you. The travel time is listed next to the room name in
parantheses, unless traveling there requires a plane. If that is the case, the
ticket cost is listed instead.
The first number, listed ahead of the room name in brackets, is used to specify
which room to travel to.

Roster
The roster is a place for people to place characters they’ve already
built, and in some cases already played, to be then playable by others.
Almost any type of character can be placed onto the roster, and the amount
of effort and development gone into them is only restricted by the player
who created them. Several restrictions apply to playing characters from the
roster. For a long period after you claim them you cannot make very large
changes to them, you cannot get any of their invested resources from them,
and the original author can reclaim them from you. However after you pass a
certain number of hours, these restrictions all lift and the character
becomes entirely a regular character.
Once you’ve played a rostered character for a few hours, or done anything to
alter them you will be unable to take another character off the roster for
one month. This does not apply if you are the original creator of the
rostered character.
Syntax: Roster list
– Displays a list of all rostered characters by name, and a short blurb
about who they are.
Syntax: Roster info (number)
– Look at more detailed information on a particular rostered character.
Syntax: Roster claim (number)
– Claim a character from the roster for yourself, can only be used from new
character generation. We suggest using lookup self after claiming a
character to further inspect their history and details.
Syntax: Roster deliver
– Send your currently played character to the roster. Either used when you
took a character off and decided you didn’t like them, or when someone wants
to place an original character onto the roster.
Syntax: Roster description/introduction
-Used before sending an original character to the roster to set what their
intro on the roster list and their description in roster info will be.
Syntax: Roster reclaim (name)
-Used by the creator to take a claimed roster character back if the person
using it isn’t doint so in the way you envisoned.
When a roster character gets to 200 hours it becomes the property of the
current player and can no longer be reclaimed. At this point the creator
also earns up to 5000 karma, with more being earned for roster characters
claimed by new players.

RP Experience
Roleplay experience
Roleplay experience (RPXP) is used to buy all the stats in the game that aren’t disciplines. Most of them are non-combat.
You earn RPXP by roleplaying with other players. Half of it is paid as you write and half when your roleplay is graded. See help roleplay rewards for how that works and for the limits on long or rapid emotes.
What changes it
–Longer emotes pay more, up to 1,000 characters an emote.
–Roleplaying with more people in the room pays a little more.
–Private mode, or having story turned off, halves it.
–Carrying large weapons around usually earns you no RPXP, unless you are in a fight or on patrol.
–In a dream you earn RPXP only while another player is with you. Dream roleplay also earns dream experience.
–Once a character has played for 15 hours, it earns nothing from roleplay until it has a history of at least 250 characters. Use history to write one.

Sanctuary
Sanctuary is the name of a working of magic that covers the entirety of
Haven and is where the town derives its name. The Sanctuary spell is
designed to keep all the inhabitants of Haven safe from serious harm,
although it doesn’t protect all equally.
Anyone attempting to do something to a protected person that is against the
rules of the spell will find their body simply unable to follow the commands
to do so. Someone who attempts to stab a person will find their hand
holding the knife simply hanging casually by their side instead. It can be
a fairly disconcerting experience for the unaware. It even extends to those
who try to arrange situations in which a violation is likely to occur.
Sanctuary also counteracts several types of mind control, any attempt to use
supernatural mind control to cause someone to perform an act that would
violate sanctuary will simply fail if conducted inside Haven. This happens
even if the target of the mind control and/or the target of their actions
are unprotected.
All humans are covered by sanctuary, supernaturals however are not unless
they are part of a society which is paying to extend that protection to it’s
membership. Or if someone has used a ritual to temporarily extend
protection to them.
Character with the fleshform modifier are never protected, nor those who have
been fleshformed in some inhuman way, such as given inhuman features or
abilities. Characters who have recently killed a person also will be without
protection for a time, even if the kill was accidental and/or happened outside
of Haven. The spell also often takes a while to take hold of new arrivals,
making those who come and go from the town a lot often have spottier protection.
Individuals in other worlds will have protection from other earth residents,
but not from those who’ve spent at least 2 days in that other world and
are considered otherworldy residents.
Positive emotions can cause protection to temporarily fail, such as those
caused by sexual encounter or close relationships. Nobody you have a coded
relationship with will be protected against you or visa versa.
The Sanctuary spell also protects people from long term harm due to
imprisonment, if prisoners aren’t regularly cared for with the carefor
command in Haven, the spell will briefly open up a hole through space to
drop them from their cell and into freedom somewhere else.
People can choose to lower their sanctuary protection, anyone who says the
words “Revocacionem protectione sanctuarium” will find their protection
disappears until they say “Repeto praesidio sanctuarium“. Fortunately the
sanctuary spell also protects against mind control compulsions to say one of
these phrases, unfortunately it doesn’t protect people again being induced
into do so with threats, blackmail, intimidation, bribery or torture.
It also prevents the words being said by force through ghost possession.
If someone instead says “Nullius Minuat sanctuarium” their protection will be limited,
only protecting them from death or maiming until they repeal it.

protects against.

Scheme message
Puts you into an editor where you can write periodic echoes, if it’s a type that uses haunt messages. Do not use blank lines.

Secrecy
In order for societies to achieve their goals they need to operate with a degree
of secrecy. Their resources and assets need to be hidden away so they can use
them effectively without being countered, and then brought forth again in a way
that nobody suspects until it is too late.
Secrecy is an attribute that both societies and characters posses. It affects
the rate at which resources are gained and spent. When a character generates
resources for a society, the amount will be reduced by half for every 20% below
100% secrecy level of the society and the character, or doubled for every 40%
above 100% secrecy level of the society and character, stacking multiplicitively.
When spending resources the same occurs, although the effect of the charcter
halved. Also some forms of spending resources do not take the character into
account those that involve ordering something done instead of doing it themselves.
The secrecy of a society is determined by:
The average tier of its members, societies with average tier below 2.5 gaining
bonuses, and those above gaining penalties.
The rarity of its positions. Societies with positions further away from the
average position of other societies receive expoential bonuses to their secrecy
the further away they are. If two societies have exactly the same positions
on everything they receive significant secrecy debuffs.
Their restrictions. Societies gain secrecy bonuses the more restrictions they
have, particularly if no other societies have those restrictions or they are
the olders society with them.
Exmembers, anyone who left the society after attaining at least standing two
causes a secrecy penalty as long as they are active.
Days active, the longer a society is active the lower its secrecy. This can
be reset however by putting a society into stasis.
The secrecy of a character is determined by:
The tier of the character, tier 1s have a base secrecy of 100%, T2s 100%,
T2.5s 90%, T3s 80%, T4s 60%, T5s 40%.
Recent activity, the more a character has contributed or used resources in the
last two weeks, the lower their secrecy.
Roleplaying in public hotspots with characters who are T1 or T2 will improve
your secrecy, particularly offsetting penalties caused by contributing/using
resources. More bonuses are given for lower tier character who are humans,
local archetypes, or the only active character on an account.
Days active, the longer a character is active the lower their secrecy. This
can be reset however by putting the character into stasis.

This stat represents those who’re unusually sensitive to the supernatural world. They may occasionally catch glimpses of ghosts or supernatural auras and sometimes have dreams about people in distress. They can also often see into the nightmare even while outside it and can learn to master some basic psychic abilities in time.
This all disappears if they end up becoming supernatural in some way. Those in the mundane world who develop this gift are often considered delusional and are often taken advantage of.

Setting
Haven is a small town on the coast of Massachusetts, not far from Boston
and an easy commuting distance from Brown University. To most of the world
that is all it is, and even to most of the residents its not so different.
They have a few extra rules they live by, like dont venture out into the
forest alone and never go outside when its misty no matter what you hear.
But apart from these they live much as anybody else does.
For others though, for the members of the supernatural world Haven is
something entirely different. It is a place where one can cross between the
worlds, a waystation and the last one of its kind on earth. This makes it a
place of great import, where supernatural groups can use these connections
to gather valuable and powerful materials and goods from those other planes.
It is also where any threats from outside earth would first arrive, making
it an important fortress and beachhead should earth ever be attacked.
For these reasons it drew the interest of the three most powerful
supernatural organizations in the world, The Hand, The Order and The Temple.
These organizations all shared a common goal in holding Haven as a defensive
bastion, but also are all in competition over the resources that can be
obtained from it. Many attempts to strike an accord between them failed,
until finally they settled on a less diplomatic solution. The three
factions came together to work a great magic over the town, called Sanctuary
this magic protects anybody inside the town from serious harm by others.
And this protection is where the towns name derives, although not all are
equally protected and several ways to bypass the protection have since been
discovered. The spell allowed the factions to compete and conflict with
each other, without ever being at risk of weakening the forces they have set
to guard the earth from intrusion. After WWII when the three factions faded
into history, the town continued to be fought over by secretive supernatural
societies, making use of it in a similar way.
Others also found the town of interest, supernatural scholars and magical
practitioners came to experiment with the supernatural power to be found
there. Others came to make use of sanctuary to hold conferences or shady
meetings with those they couldnt otherwise trust. And the town drew the
attention of a criminal supernatural element as well. In Haven, with
sanctuary, enforcing supernatural law was almost impossible freeing up
certain types of criminals to do as they wished as long as they didn’t need
to kill anyone.
When supernaturals fight, they usually do so in a shadow world, a darker
mimicry of our own called the nightmare. There they can conflict freely,
without ever being seen or noticed by the normal members of humanity.
A manipulation of the spaces between worlds called pathing, allows some
supernaturals and those they take with them to travel vast distances very
quickly. Due to the latent power of Haven pathing to and from it tends to
be a fair bit faster than elsewhere, and societies often deploy operatives
there for just that reason, wanting to take advantage of their ability to
quickly deploy to missions or conflicts around the globe.

Sex
Syntax: sex (target) (type)
Valid types are coital, noncoital, and outercourse.
Sex requires consent. Upon using the command on a target, it will announce the
initiator’s intentions to the target and the room. Should the target type
yes, when prompted, another message will be broadcast to all those present in
the room as well as to the participants regarding the outcome of the choices.
In order to refuse, just ignore the request. Requests time out in two minutes.
The rape command is a special version of the sex command that, mostly, works in
the same way and with the same arguments. It requires consent most of the time.
This is to allow players to determine on their own when sanctuary should and and
should not prevent it. See Help Sanctuary Violations for more information.
Rape has less consequences mechanically for the victim than other sex does and
should be utilized whenever a character is not consenting to sex. The character
who uses the command is assumed to be the aggressor.
Physical and hormonal contraceptive use is set via the habit command. Condoms
require that one of the two characters involved has the barrier in their
inventory, in their hands, or worn. They will not be consumed, but may suffer
usage penalties that will ultimately lead to their failure during future use.
This will be determined by their cost.
Syntax: sex category (sex position or act) (orientation)
Valid positions and acts are extensive and will not be documented. Valid
orientations are homosexual and heterosexual.
A wide variety of alternative names for positions and acts are accommodated for,
but will remain undocumented. All of them are processed and condensed into
three categories (coital, noncoital, and outercourse) based on what they would
most commonly be used for depending on the target. This differs somewhat based
on whether the action is initiated by a man or a woman and whether the sex is
hetero or homosexual. Alternative arguments can be tested with the sex category
syntax to discover how the game will interpret the position or act. If it’s
unrecognized, it will inform the player and log the bad argument so that the
command can become more intuitive and accommodate additional player requests
that the coder did not originally provision for.

This is to allow players to determine on their own when sanctuary should and and
should not prevent it. See Help Sanctuary Violations for more information.
Rape has less consequences mechanically for the victim than other sex does and
should be utilized whenever a character is not consenting to sex. The character
who uses the command is assumed to be the aggressor.
Physical and hormonal contraceptive use is set via the habit command. Condoms
require that one of the two characters involved has the barrier in their
inventory, in their hands, or worn. They will not be consumed, but may suffer
usage penalties that will ultimately lead to their failure during future use.
This will be determined by their cost.
Syntax: sex category (sex position or act) (orientation)
Valid positions and acts are extensive and will not be documented. Valid
orientations are homosexual and heterosexual.
A wide variety of alternative names for positions and acts are accommodated for,
but will remain undocumented. All of them are processed and condensed into
three categories (coital, noncoital, and outercourse) based on what they would
most commonly be used for depending on the target. This differs somewhat based
on whether the action is initiated by a man or a woman and whether the sex is
hetero or homosexual. Alternative arguments can be tested with the sex category
syntax to discover how the game will interpret the position or act. If it’s
unrecognized, it will inform the player and log the bad argument so that the
command can become more intuitive and accommodate additional player requests
that the coder did not originally provision for.

as any time one person penetrates another in any location, with any part of
themselves, or any object controlled or manipulated by them with sexual
intent.
This act renders both parties non virginal.
Kissing another person is an exception, even though it may involve
penetrating their mouth with your tongue with sexual intent.

Social Rank
Your social rank is seen whenever someone looks at you and represents
your overall popularity amongst the NPC population of Haven.
Professional focuses, particularly socialite have a pronounced impact on
this standing, as does where your character lives and the type of car they
drive. It is also affected by tier, as well as character praises and
disses. Some contacts can be used to enhance your social standing. Some
behaviour can have a slight upward or downward impact on social rank, such
as walking around in public while dirty or blood having a negative impact.

their roleplay faster, and will build it up to a much higher cap than other

Societies
A society is one of several different types of groups that contest each other in the supernatural underworld.
Societies run on resources, a combination of laundered cash, valuable supernatural items, and human assets.
The types of society are:
Factions: These are large and fairly stable global organizations which are always on the look out for new soldiers.
Cults: These are smaller, local groups that serve or worship an Eidolon.
Sects: These are smaller, local groups that are aiming to destroy an Eidolon.
You can be in one of each type of group at the same time. For more information see Help Eidolon Lore, Help society creation, Help society commands. You can view a list of all groups by typing faction list.
Joining a society is particularly important to supernatural characters as they otherwise will not benefit from
Sanctuary protection. See Help Sanctuary

You can be in one of each type of group at the same time. For more information see Help Eidolon Lore, Help society creation, Help society commands. You can view a list of all groups by typing faction list.
Joining a society is particularly important to supernatural characters as they otherwise will not benefit from
Sanctuary protection. See Help Sanctuary
Society Alliances
Almost all societies in the supernatural world will join together in an
alliance. While each society is ultimately out for themselves they recognize
that it is in their best interest to have allies. Alliances are formed around
the different positions that societies take, but often have different break
points between where someone would be considered on one side of a conflict
versus when they would be considered on another side.
Alliances usually change about once every six months, no society wants to
remain stuck in an alliance so long that their fates become permanently
entwined with the other groups.
Alliances are determined by code and reshuffled every six months according
to what alliance would bring the greatest balance. All territories will have
their alliance control percentages reset when the alliances are reshuffled.
Members of the same alliance will be part of the same team on operations and
in warfare/arcane warfare patrols. They also share the same communication
channel used with ssay.

society creation
Creating a society is a multi-step process; first, you should come up with a theme for your society and think about what change it is they’re looking to enact upon the world, even if it is just locally. Once you have a theme in mind, you can then use the following commands to work your way through the creation process:
[Mandatory Commands]:
Syntax: Cult/Sect create (name)
Create a new society by the name specified. Costs at least 25,000 influence between standard and scheme. The first 25,000 influence returns $25,000 in resources, but up to 125,000 influence can be spent for a maximum of $75,000 in starting resources.
Syntax: Cult/Sect (field)
Enter the editor to edit the description in Cult/Sect info (society). Valid fields are summary, manifesto, missions, history, roles, scenes, and ooc.
Syntax: Cult/Sect symbol (string)
Sets your society’s symbol to the string; see the symbol section in ‘help customize‘.
Syntax: Cult/Sect positions (position) (stance)
Sets the society’s political and philosophical positions; see help society positions.

Approve an enemy relationship between societies.

suspended. Each rank has a custom name and trusts. But is separate from

Special Deputy
Tier Two Archetype
Human
Special deputies are individuals deputized by the sheriff’s department to
help with the particular supernatural problems that occur when policing a
town such as Haven. Their job is to cover up any sign of supernatural
goings on or problems inside the town. It is a fairly unpopular job, as
special deputies are always at risk by being crushed by the supernatural
forces they are trying to juggle, death and burn out are common. As such
the sheriff’s department can be none too picky with it’s hiring processes
and many special deputies get their badge with only the most rudimentary of
legal training. They rarely if ever engage in regular police work, leaving
that to the better schooled if generally less brave regular deputies.
Minimum Age: 22
Available Positive Modifiers: Fleshformed, Demonic Pact Holder
Chemically Augmented
Focuses: Can spend one point in the combat focus family at tier two.
Other: Can create badge objects with customize (object name) badge. Can
open all the locked doors in the sheriff’s department and don’t need to
obtain another job. Can listen in on and speak on the 911 emergency
broadcast channel.
Detain: Used with Detain (target). This command sends any non society
character of tier 3 or below to jail for two hours. Most often used by
special deputies to remove people who are at risk of exposing the
supernaturals to get them away from the public and then deal with the issue
themselves or hand them off to the societies.
Disperse: When used in a public room such as a street it forces everyone to
leave within twenty minutes or be detained. Supernaturals can enter the
nightmare to avoid the detainment. It is generally used to clear crime scenes
or break up public rows.
MoveAlong: When used on someone in a private residence they don’t have a key
to it will force them to leave that residence within twenty minutes or be
arrested. Used most often in the case of trespassing complaints.
Frisk: When used on someone on the Greystone campus, weapons on their person
will be transported to the evidence cage in the Sheriff’s Department.

Split Mind
Levels: 0, 1, 2
Requirements: 60k Dream experience for level 1, 120k for level 2.
Individuals with this stat can retain their normal mind even while in a
dreamworld. The mind of their dream identity will still take over and be
the dominant personality, but they retain awareness of what is going on and
can affect things. Many who attempt to learn this skill instead go mad, and
it doubles the effective duration of any madness ritual on the target.

At level two it additionally grants the ability to use dream makebelieve
or dream makeidentity to instantly affect others with the results of those
rituals. These effects tend to only last an hour however and require the
target to be psychically vulnerable similar to vampire bites. i.e. They
must have not moved recently and can defend themselves with guardmind.
This costs 4% life force.
This is particularly useful since it opens people up to dream assault.
Syntax: Dream Assault (person) (stat)

Stagger
Stagger is a debuff that appears next to your defense in your prompt. It
represents a general lack of balance or short term fatigue in combat. All
attacks add some stagger when they strike you, but the amount depends on the
conditions of the attack. Most supernaturals will take bonus stagger from
certain types of weapons to which they have a weakness.
Stagger decreases your damage and movement speed, and is particularly
effective at diminishing the effect of in combat magical abilities. It goes
down every round and goes down more the less you’ve moved that round as well
as the higher your stamina is.
An attack needs to do at least 10 damage to inflict stagger. Forest monsters
inflict 5 stagger every attack regardless of damage.
Every 15 points of stagger reduces your combat move speed by 1.
Every 5 points of stagger reduces your damage by 1%

Story Death
This is a set of guidelines on where PC death will likely occur in staff
run stories. Player SRs may deviate from these guidelines although
preferably not by too much.
Things that will almost certainly lead to your PCs death:
1) Disrespecting the threat. If your char acts like they can’t die or are
unafraid of death in an unrealistic manner, they’re highly likely to die.
An example might be meeting a god, and insulting them, this will likely
cause immediate death.
2) Doing something that would realistically cause death. You can’t expect

you’re almost certainly going to die.
3) Doing something brave and dangerous. If you tackle the super powered
evil to try and buy your friends time to escape, expect to die.
4) Doing something unrealistic or silly, or trying to powergame through
dangerous situations. If you’re in a big fight and start for instance,
singing a song, expect to die.
Things which are likely to lead to your PCs death:
1) Doing something brave. Every time your character is brave in a scene
there’s a serious chance they might die, that’s what makes it brave.
2) Doing something dangerous. Every time your character does something
dangerous, such as gets into a fight there’s a serious chance they might
die.
There is no limit to the number of people who will die in a scene, if lots
of people are doing the above listed things then lots of people might die.
There is no need for an SR or staff member to work you up through injury

healthy to dead if the situation warrants it.
The only way to ensure your survival in staff run plots is to be cunning and

fine, but you should not have the expectation of surviving plots if so, the
price for being a hero is most often your life.

preferably not by too much.
Things that will almost certainly lead to your PCs death:
1) Disrespecting the threat. If your char acts like they can’t die or are
unafraid of death in an unrealistic manner, they’re highly likely to die.
An example might be meeting a god, and insulting them, this will likely
cause immediate death.

Story Runner Code of Conduct
The story runner code of conduct has one aim, to ensure SRs are
concentrating on helping make and run great RP. As an SR you are subject to
immortal oversight, that means that unlike a player you do not have to
clearly break any rules for immortals to intervene, if we feel like you are
using your SR in a way that is bad for the game we will take it away from
you.
1) Do not grief players. This means using your SR in any way to make
player’s lives unpleasant unless as a direct and necessary part of the
story. Using NPCs to pick on players, having monsters go after one in
particular for no real reason, using hurt/injure excessively etc.
2) Do not coddle players. This means using your SR in any way to inflate
player’s egos unless as a direct and necessary part of the story. Using
NPCs to flatter players, designing fights and scenarios that they can’t
possibly lose or letting them win the situation even if you think they
should lose etc. In general a good success rate is about 75%, if players
succeed about 75% of the time in your stories you’re probably at a good
level.
3) Never attempt to influence a player to increase your trust level. While
you may tell a player you don’t want to run RP for them because their trust
is too low you may not ever harass, plead or pressure a player into raising
your trust. This is to protect you more than them, if they are unhappy with
something you’ve done the fact that they completely voluntarily raised your
trust high enough to do it is your best defense.
4) Do not use your SR to prop up or help your characters. Your characters
can be involved in rooms and stories that you run but they should never
profit from it. For instance if your players have to solve a puzzle, your
character should never be the one with the answer. They should be one of
the group and in no way gain any possible advantage because you are also the
SR.
5) Do not allow your SR to give any benefit to your PC. Most overt examples
would be offering to run RP for people who’re nice to your PC more than
others, but even if you’re not doing it deliberately you can be held
responsible. It’s very strongly recommended that you do not tell people who
your PC is where possible, as if it seems like people are treating your PC
differently because of that knowledge you may well lose your SR, even if you
aren’t encouraging them to do so.
6) Do not play favorites. It is fine to run RP for your friends or people
you like more often. However when setting up a story you should accept
players based on the merit of their reasons for being involved and that is
all, additionally once in a scene you must treat all players equally and
respond only based on the merits of their IC actions.
7) Keep the scope of your stories confined to those who wish to play with
you/trust you. You should not under normal circumstances run a story that
involves/threatens the entire town/world, or people who aren’t volunteering
to play in it. This includes making the consequences of your plot so dire
that PCs will be unable ICly to avoid getting involved. It also includes
creating lore that will effect others. It would be fine for instance to
create a cult for your PCs to deal with, but not to create the oldest
vampire in the world. Since there can be only one of them. If you want to
run a plot that involves the whole game, or involves lore creation you’ll
need to be deputized and have a staff member be briefed on the plot to ok it
all. This rule is in place to prevent SRs stepping on each other’s stories
and to prevent players from being pushed into participating in plots with
SRs they may not wish to.
8) Keep the scale of your stories reasonable. While it’s an understandable
urge to get players involved by making your plots more and more epic it can
very quickly degenerate the reality of the world and the characters if
they’re saving the universe every weekend, and can put SRs in competitions
to make their plot more epic than the last one. Most stories should be
small scale, something well suited to small groups of players who’ve trusted
you to play with. The occasional epic story is fine, although you’ll
generally need to pass it through staff and be deputized as mentioned above,
but it’s the smaller things that bring the world to life.

Story Runner Guide
As a Story Runner there are three basic types of RP you might get involved
in. The first is personalized RP, this is when either because you were
asked or on your own initiative you decide to get involved in someone’s
personal story, to play NPCs from their history or related to their current
position. It’s a pretty cool way to make character’s histories matter and
make their actions feel like they have consequences.
The second is general room scenes, where you just pop into a room, get your
votes and start doing your thing. There are several uses for this sort of
RP, namely ambience, realism, introductions and excitement.
Ambience means simply emoting for NPCs and background activity to make the
world feel more alive and real for the players. While often overlooked it
can do a lot to help players feeling of immersion. Ambience can often be
added to from outside the room if you have enough trust to spy on people and
send them messages.
Realism is similar to ambience but refers to making the situation reflect
the reality of the inferno world. For instance this is a world where this
is a lot of paranoid, hostility and fear about supernaturals. Those who’re
open about being supernatural should meet that fear and hostility. They
might be refused service, avoided, asked to leave, subject to harassment.
It might even go so far as to lead to them be attacked by hunters or similar
individuals who happen to be nearby.
Other things might be people walking around carrying weapons only, or doing
drugs in the middle of a public place. Anything that really breaks the
theme and reality of the game you can be there to have the world react as it
should to those events. Again his is a very important task to helping make
the game world feel like a real place.
Introductions are when you create a situation which will push players
together and give them reasons to get to know each other and interact.
Causing some sort of crises or problem in which they work together could be
one instance, or simply causing events to reveal something about one
character. Good players should find reasons to get to know each other
themselves, but it never hurts to give them a cool how we met story.
Excitement refers to livening things up, it can be anything from an argument
to a demonic attack, while the forces of hell are out there and are usually
exciting. More human excitement is also an important part of the setting
and shouldn’t be neglected. A RP scene involving a fire spreading through a
building and tasking players to escape the flames and rescue others can be
incredibly gripping. Exciting RP should involve some sort of challenge for
the players to overcome, a challenge that they have a legitimate chance of
failing.
The third type of RP is of course stories. Stories are usually a bit more
elaborate and have a bit more of a set up to them. All stories should
involve contact stats in some way and preference should always be given to
those with contact stats. This is the purpose of those stats, to know about
things going on and it’s unfair to players who’ve spent points in them if
they don’t get an edge in getting involved. The best way to start a story
event or organize them is generally with the calendar.
Stories are built out of challenges, a simple one might have a single
challenge like beat this monster. A more elaborate one might have a
sequence of challenges or even branches. An example might be a story which
involves a group having to penetrate the defenses of a facility to kill the
evil vampire who runs it. This may branch depending on the group’s
strategy, if they choose stealth it may lead to different challenges and
story arc than if they go in all guns blazing.
All challenges should have a real chance at failure, why does this matter?
It’s important for the drama of a scene that players feel like they *might*
fail, it’s that which makes their successes sweet and gets them involved in
what they’re doing. Without the chance for failure, success is meaningless.
And in order to make players feel like they might fail, sometimes it has to
actually happen. Additionally players should feel like their choices
matter, if any choice I make which isn’t completely stupid will lead to the
same result, those choices don’t have much impact anymore.
That said, there are different types of failure, failure and success don’t
have to be hard, they can also be soft. A soft failure is one that allows
the player to continue and proceed but at increased cost. It might take
more time, hurt their char or their pride, cost them money or other
resources etc.
To return to the example of the players trying to get inside a secure
facility, they choose to attack the main gates. You know this isn’t going
to work, they haven’t scouted well enough to know but the facility has a
small army inside it. Rather than have them be killed or driven off and
unable to get inside however, a hard failure. You opt to have them be
capture, and locked up in the basement. The players then after some time
break out of their cell and are now inside the facility and able to progress
to the next stage, heading for the boss. However they’re injured, it took
longer and they should feel a bit silly about themselves for getting
captured. This is a soft fail.
The culmination of the story probably should use a hard fail option, but
soft fails can be invaluable in the lead up to that climax. Allowing the
player’s choices to matter, but still ensuring they make it more or less
through the whole story.
Soft successes are another option that is very useful, say my players get to
the evil vampire and try to kill him, but I don’t want him to die yet
because I have plans for other stuff he’s going to do down the line.
Instead of them just failing to kill him, which is basically a fail, I can
use a soft success. For instance he gets away but he’s injured and his
facility gets destroyed, saving dozens of people. In this way the player’s
successes are still rewarded, while allowing me to have my villain escape.
Mastering soft failures and successes is often the key to achieving a
balance between narrative and realism that provides the most enjoyable and
gripping experiences.
So now you’ve got through that the question becomes, what are you going to
make your story about, so I will go over a brief, non-exhaustive, list of
haven antagonists.
Firstly, groups interested in the gate. Various groups and
individuals are interested in using Haven’s proximity to other worlds. Some
are doomsday cults looking to bring about the end of days, others sense an
advantage to be had. These groups are after all the reason the societies
watch over Haven.
Secondly, supernatural hunters. Hunters are a very varied group, some are
ex temple or military, some are just random people who decided to hunt
monsters, many are from religious extremist groups of many different
denominations, others have had those close to them killed by the
supernatural or even just hunt them for sport. Hunters are a constant
problem for supernaturals, because the law almost never will protect them
from them, they also can be a big problem for others as many of them are
inexact in their targeting practices, it’s not that uncommon for a human
Goth to be killed by someone thinking they were a vampire.
Thirdly, the supernaturals. All supernaturals have a dark side, vampires
invariably kill the odd victims, werewolves often escape and kill during
lunacy, and that’s aside from those who just go rogue. Werewolves who
embrace their primal savagery, vampires who kill for enjoyment, mages who
experiment on people or use their magic to do crime. Shifters who join
savage packs, demonborn giving in to their urges, faeborn working an
angle… Aside from rogue members many of the societies may come to blows or
be drawn into conflict through the actions of their members.
Fourth, bad humans. There’s no rule saying only supernaturals can go bad,
and no reason why players might not want to get involved using their special
knowledge and abilities to help stop a perfectly mundane serial killer or
bank robber.
Fifth, fae and gods. The gods don’t generally act as antagonists but they
are essentially still human so they may. The fae are often interested in
playing pranks or cruel tricks on people in the world and can make excellent
antagonists.
Sixth, demons. The greatest threat from demons is that of the archdemons.
Archdemons are incredibly powerful beings and while trapped in hell they
have enough power to reach across the gap and influence things in our world.
Archdemons almost always work through vassals. Humans or supernaturals with
whom they’ve struck a bargain, it’s within their power to manipulate the
world enough to make someone rich, to make the head cheerleader fall in love
with them, to cure them of illness, make them immortal or powerful. In
exchange they obtain a link with which they can witness the world and snuff
out the life of their vassal at their whim.
Vassals are usually empowered by the archdemons, usually with sorcerous
abilities as well as other lost talents like fleshforming. They may be
given powerful abilities to influence the minds of others, to use
destructive magic or to fleshform monsters or loyal foot soldiers, usually
using animals as templates.
Every archdemon, like all other demons cares only for causing death,
destruction and misery, and the tasks they set their vassals to are always
to further these ends. They may be straight forward like building a bomb or
unleashing a army of fleshformed monster soldiers, or more subtle like
becoming involved in human trafficking, force prostitution, or just running
a company that forces it’s employees to work 14 hour days.
The ways in which vassals operate is as varied as can be, but their motives
are always evil in service to their archdemon. Finding/stopping, and
eliminating vassals is one of the most important tasks that players might
have to do in order to protect the world.
All six of these antagonists are important and a mixture of all five is
crucial to a good RP environment. It may be tempting to make everything
about the demon threat but by doing that you’re doing your players a
disservice, inferno is a whole world, living and breathing. Enemies are not
always external and clearly distinguishable as good or bad, terrestrial and
morally complex threats also exist, and it’s by dealing with all of those
that players get to live in this world.

small army inside it. Rather than have them be killed or driven off and
unable to get inside however, a hard failure. You opt to have them be
capture, and locked up in the basement. The players then after some time
break out of their cell and are now inside the facility and able to progress
to the next stage, heading for the boss. However they’re injured, it took
longer and they should feel a bit silly about themselves for getting
captured. This is a soft fail.
The culmination of the story probably should use a hard fail option, but
soft fails can be invaluable in the lead up to that climax. Allowing the
player’s choices to matter, but still ensuring they make it more or less
through the whole story.
Soft successes are another option that is very useful, say my players get to
the evil vampire and try to kill him, but I don’t want him to die yet
because I have plans for other stuff he’s going to do down the line.
Instead of them just failing to kill him, which is basically a fail, I can
use a soft success. For instance he gets away but he’s injured and his
facility gets destroyed, saving dozens of people. In this way the player’s
successes are still rewarded, while allowing me to have my villain escape.
Mastering soft failures and successes is often the key to achieving a
balance between narrative and realism that provides the most enjoyable and
gripping experiences.
So now you’ve got through that the question becomes, what are you going to
make your story about, so I will go over a brief, non-exhaustive, list of
haven antagonists.
Firstly, groups interested in the gate. Various groups and
individuals are interested in using Haven’s proximity to other worlds. Some
are doomsday cults looking to bring about the end of days, others sense an
advantage to be had. These groups are after all the reason the societies
watch over Haven.
Secondly, supernatural hunters. Hunters are a very varied group, some are
ex temple or military, some are just random people who decided to hunt
monsters, many are from religious extremist groups of many different
denominations, others have had those close to them killed by the
supernatural or even just hunt them for sport. Hunters are a constant
problem for supernaturals, because the law almost never will protect them
from them, they also can be a big problem for others as many of them are
inexact in their targeting practices, it’s not that uncommon for a human
Goth to be killed by someone thinking they were a vampire.
Thirdly, the supernaturals. All supernaturals have a dark side, vampires
invariably kill the odd victims, werewolves often escape and kill during
lunacy, and that’s aside from those who just go rogue. Werewolves who
embrace their primal savagery, vampires who kill for enjoyment, mages who
experiment on people or use their magic to do crime. Shifters who join
savage packs, demonborn giving in to their urges, faeborn working an
angle… Aside from rogue members many of the societies may come to blows or
be drawn into conflict through the actions of their members.
Fourth, bad humans. There’s no rule saying only supernaturals can go bad,
and no reason why players might not want to get involved using their special
knowledge and abilities to help stop a perfectly mundane serial killer or
bank robber.
Fifth, fae and gods. The gods don’t generally act as antagonists but they
are essentially still human so they may. The fae are often interested in
playing pranks or cruel tricks on people in the world and can make excellent
antagonists.
Sixth, demons. The greatest threat from demons is that of the archdemons.
Archdemons are incredibly powerful beings and while trapped in hell they
have enough power to reach across the gap and influence things in our world.
Archdemons almost always work through vassals. Humans or supernaturals with
whom they’ve struck a bargain, it’s within their power to manipulate the
world enough to make someone rich, to make the head cheerleader fall in love
with them, to cure them of illness, make them immortal or powerful. In
exchange they obtain a link with which they can witness the world and snuff
out the life of their vassal at their whim.
Vassals are usually empowered by the archdemons, usually with sorcerous
abilities as well as other lost talents like fleshforming. They may be
given powerful abilities to influence the minds of others, to use
destructive magic or to fleshform monsters or loyal foot soldiers, usually
using animals as templates.
Every archdemon, like all other demons cares only for causing death,
destruction and misery, and the tasks they set their vassals to are always
to further these ends. They may be straight forward like building a bomb or
unleashing a army of fleshformed monster soldiers, or more subtle like
becoming involved in human trafficking, force prostitution, or just running
a company that forces it’s employees to work 14 hour days.
The ways in which vassals operate is as varied as can be, but their motives
are always evil in service to their archdemon. Finding/stopping, and
eliminating vassals is one of the most important tasks that players might
have to do in order to protect the world.
All six of these antagonists are important and a mixture of all five is
crucial to a good RP environment. It may be tempting to make everything
about the demon threat but by doing that you’re doing your players a
disservice, inferno is a whole world, living and breathing. Enemies are not
always external and clearly distinguishable as good or bad, terrestrial and
morally complex threats also exist, and it’s by dealing with all of those
that players get to live in this world.

Story Runners Explained
Story runner are Havens version of what might be Game Masters in other
RPGs. They are special characters who operate to help create and run RP for
the players.
They differ to other games in several ways: Firstly they are not staff, and
do not have unlimited powers, they are given several very handy code tools
for doing their job, anybody can become one once they’ve played the game for
a little while, and their ability to create and run RP is based on a trust
and vote system ensuring no player ever will be in a position where an SR
they don’t trust has power over them.
To become an SR simply type storyrunner (name) and that will begin the
process. You do not lose your existing character when you do this, but they
will be automatically logged off once the storyrunner creation begins.
SRs automatically attempt to run the RP in any room they enter after a short
delay, but they can’t generally been seen moving around, they always appear
as spirits but their name is visible when looking at them.
SRs can travel around by using the SWalk command, which takes the same
arguments as taxi or travel but is instant and silent, and they can bring
players with them. They can also make areas in a location called mists,
which they can use to make rooms for any where they want, they can access
all their own rooms made in those areas even if made private. If they make
rooms status public other SRs will be able to use them also.
All staff are considered SRs and have all the same powers as they do,
players also are set to automatically trust staff, if you wish to turn this
off typing story off will set you as a character that staff doesn’t have
trust over, and will indicate you have no interest in staff run stories.
SRs earn karma from roleplaying and running rooms.
Players can attempt to contact available online SRs with the STalk command.
SRs, either player SRs or immortals are not obligated to SR anything if
they do not wish to, they are free to choose what RP they want to run. If
SRs don’t want to run things for you, it might be worth asking why and
working to fix those problems.

storyidea
Syntax: storyidea
list/info/create/type/permissions/description/npcs/lore/secrets/submit/clai-
/unclaim/approvelock/sponsor/deny/territory/makeplot/galleryadd/gallerydelete
/mastermind <number> <argument>
This command allows anyone to submit an idea for a story, the idea might be
about their PC, it might be something they want to do with their SR, or
might just be a thing they thought of.
To create a storyidea simply use storyidea create, then storyidea list to
see it’s number, from then you can fill out the fields. The
description/npcs/and lore fields are mandatory, if npcs and lore don’t
apply, simply put ‘None’ in their fields.
The type can be adventure, joint, competitive if you want to run an
adventure. Quest or personal for a personal, targeted story. Or other in
all other cases.
The description can be as short of long as you’d like, and contain IC and
OOC info, but keep in mind it’s good to give some creative freedom to the SR
who’ll be running the story.
The secrets field will not be seen by anyone until it’s claimed, although
staff can look at if if they want to. Staff may edit a storyidea before
approving it, usually in cases where there’s only one or two small issues
The permissions filed allows a player submitting a personal idea type to
select which SRs will be able to claim it, and can be edited even after the
storyidea is approved.
Whoever submits an idea has 24 hours after it is approved where only they
will be able to claim it. You can also unclaim a plot, allowing someone
else to claim it.
There are several types of approval, aside from normal approval there’s also
timed approval, this is an automatic approval that happens if a storyidea
hasn’t been dealt with in 5 days, it allows for the possibility of the staff
being somehow unable to do their jobs, sponsored means it’s been approved
and the staff want it run for whatever reason, like it being part of a staff
story. Locked means it’s been approved but isn’t available for claiming
yet. This may be because of an overabundance of similar plots for instance.
Finally, using storyidea makeplot <number> <title> allows you to turn a
story idea you’ve claimed into a full blown plot, with some of the
information that was in the storyidea put on. You would still need to add
more information, but it’s a quick and easy way to change storyideas into
plots.
Sponsored storyideas award bonus karma when claimed, and all adventure types
award some karma when claimed and completed.
Using this system is mandatory for any SR action that’s more than just
ambience or involves supernatural elements.
When setting a mastermind for a storyidea, it is important to remember
to include references to the mastermind in the storyidea. Not doing so will
mean the mastermind will be stripped from it.

Storyidea Approval guide
In General: Storyideas must at least not directly contradict any of the game’s
lore. Storyideas should have some fairly clear outline of what is going to
happen and what their scope is. They should try to fit within the general theme
of paranormal horror.
Adventures/Quests: Adventures must take place outside of Haven and not impact
the grid or the players on the grid. They must be entirely opt-in, meaning that
players should never feel obligated to go on an adventure even if they
don’t want to. The characters should have a reasonable understanding of
the potential risks of going on any given adventure.
Other/Personal: On grid plots will generally only be approved if they’re
very low key and don’t have a lot of supernatural elements. They’ll also likely
not be approved if they involve a lot of heavy antagonism or there seems a
reasonable chance that other people will be sucked into the story despite their
OOC interests.
Backgrounds: Ideas that involve someone’s background will only be approved if
there’s nothing questionable about that background. Which generally means it
must be a pretty straight forward background, any elements of victimization
in the background or aggrandization or claims to special status or events are
likely to be grounds for having the idea turned down. Such backgrounds need
to support themselves based on the RP of the character and won’t be given
any staff stamp of approval through an associated approved plot.
Victimization: Ideas that involve significant victimization or directed
antagonism are unlikely to be approved.
Aggrandizement: Ideas that involve significant aggrandizement of the participants
are unlikely to be approved. That might mean that when they succeed some great
event occurs or that they’re chosen for the mission because of being super
special.
Tips:
*Very few Fae messing with people ideas get approved. Ideas that involved the
big three antagonists directly are treated carefully to begin with but most Fae
based plots are often either too silly or too heavily about victimization to be
approved.
*Ideas that seem to be sold by their importance, or impact instead of the
actual story usually get turned down. As a general tip you should try to
get people interested in your adventures by the quality of your storytelling
and writing, not by offering bigger rewards or more impactful events or
anything similar to your players than other SRs.
*Gods/Fae/Demons really care nothing about their human descendants. Ideas
based on my godly ancestor comes down to tell me I’m awesome etc are
unlikely to be approved.
*Ideas that would cause the secrecy of the supernatural world to be
compromised are unlikely to be approved.
*Ideas using existing lore, subfactions and territories are more likely
to be approved than those who make up new ones.
*In general the smaller the scale, the more human the antagonists and
the more morally complex, gritty, dirty and real the concept the more
likely it is to be approved.

Storyline
A storyline is a narrative in the world of Haven that takes place over a fairly prolonged period with many individual events. Almost anyone can create a storyline, but they only become visible for those who become involved in one of the attached events. Plots, Schemes, Encounters and Operations can all be attached to a particular storyline. Once enough events have occurred in that particular storyline, it opens up the possibility of special finale plots.
A finale plot that is an adventure with a specified territory will allow for the full editing of that territory after the plot is finished by the Storyrunner. They can change the status of the territory, any of its text fields, alter the control levels of subfactions or even remove or add new subfactions to the territory. They can also transfer this power to someone else, such as the leader of the group that won the adventure. This power lasts for about two hours.
A finale plot of any other type will have crisis approval, and will allow for a full supernatural plot to take place in Haven.

Summary
Syntax: summary (person) conflict/winconflict/loseconflict/captive/wrapup/other (message)
The summary command can be used to do a RP scene in summary form either in whole or in part. This can be useful either when needing to wrap up a scene or when the scene itself is unlikely to be particularly enjoyable to the participants.
There are three parts to summaries, introduction, content and conclusion. The introduction and conclusion are size limited to 200 characters(About two lines) and all use similar functionality to emotes(use of @ etc).
Summary Types:
Other:
The most straightforward type of summary, if accepted the two players will simultaneously write introductions, then content, then conclusions.
Wrapup:
Similar to Other but the introduction is skipped since it is designed for wrapping up scenes which are already in progress.
Conflict:
If accepted the initiator is the only one who will write an introduction, then both will write content and then get the opportunity to put in the chance they think they will win the conflict. The winner then gets to write the conclusion and the loser is knocked out.
Winconflict:
Similar to conflict but the initiator is guaranteed to win the conflict. Can also be done in the middle of a fight but will not stop the fight until it is concluded. Will not have an intro phase if done in a fight.
Loseconflict:
Similar to winconflict but inverted, the initiator is guaranteed to lose. Doesn’t have to be accepted if done in the middle of a fight.
Captive:
Does not need to be accepted to start, but one participant must be helpless. The captor first writes the introduction, then the captive writes one, then the captor writes their content and selects if they want to take blood. The captive then writes their content and selects if they want to give up intel and how much life force they think they’d lose. The captor then writes the conclusion and selects if they want the captive to be sent home afterwards.

Sunlight Resistance
Levels: 0, 3
Requirements: Tier 3.
This stat affords vampires a significant amount of resistance to the effects
of daylight, they’ll be less tired than other vampires during the day, and
find sunlight a bit less blinding and painful. Normally this means that the
vampire has spent several decades forcing themselves to endure sunlight
exposure, but some lucky vampires can develop resistance much quicker. It
does not entirely remove their penalties however, they’re notably still weak
when exposed under a noonday sun.

Super Jumping
Levels: 0, 2
Requirements: Angelborn Champion 1, Blade Disciple 2, Or Tier 4.
Syntax: Move (person) jump
Characters with this ability can jump about twice as far as normal humans of

building you are facing, as high as three floors, and jump down looks
further ahead and further down for water to land in than anyone else can.
A super jumper still only jumps down onto solid ground that is at most two
floors below; anything deeper has to be water. See help jump.
In combat it allows someone to rapidly close a gap, moving up to three
times their normal movement to a target. They can only use this command
every few rounds and the distance someone can jump is significantly
impacted by the amount of large weapons, armor and shields they are
carrying.

Supernatural Cold War
Also often referred to as the conflict, or the struggle the supernatural
cold war is the battle that goes on between disparate supernaturals and
supernatural groups for dominance.
As this is a cold war open fatal conflict is very rarely involved with most
of the struggle conducted in battles of influence and backroom dealings over
control. Opportunistic violence does occur however, and if a society member
found themselves in an isolated area without witnesses encountering members
of other societies they’re likely to be roughed up or robbed. In contested
territories such as Haven opportunistic violence is even more common, and
even sought out as participants in the cold war use roughing up, harvesting,
temporary detainment, humiliations or other measures to assert their
dominance to the supernatural community at large or disrupt the operations
of their opponents. Higher levels of violence that involve permanent injury
or death only occurs in those territories which break out into a full war
state, if they occurred anywhere else and the perpetrator wasn’t brought to
swift justice that territory would likely devolve into a war state until the
issue was resolved. Even in territories in war lethal violence is rare,
both owing to people being wary of crossing that line lest they end up on
the wrong side of it later on, and the responsibility to keep the conflict
While successfully carrying out harassment against other participants of the
supernatural cold war might bring you acclaim from your fellows, harassing
or assaulting people who are acknowledge non participants tends to only
generate a negative reputation for bullying.
Lore wise Haven is considered a territory constantly in a contested state.
With the Sanctuary spell effectively preventing escalation into a war state
unless it can be successfully lowered.

Supernatural History
Supernatural forces have existed for as long as mankind, but they used to be fairly primitive. There were no monsters or gods, just tribal shamans and priests whose powers were rather limited except when they made human sacrifices. The other worlds were closer to earth however, and people often accidentally stumbled from one to another.
This first began to change in Mesopotamia around 8500BCE, Sorcerers began to develop in earnest, and the knowledge of magical forces increased. These sorcerers broke into several dynastic lines, teaching their children their knowledge following an oral tradition. Experiments in fleshforming started around 2000 years later, and in 6000BCE the first reports of vampires and werewolves occurred. Several sorcerous dynasties combined with the rise of the Sumarians to form what’s now known as the Council of Babylon, despite at the time it existing in Kish, some distance from where Babylon would be erected. The council existed on other worlds as well, having determined ways to walk between them and was the ruling power in most other earth-like planes. They were also spreading to the developing Egypt. The Council were immortal and in 2400 BCE the first God was created.
The council continued to grow in influence, and spread with civilization, many of the oldest and most powerful members were now Gods whilst others were simply immortal. In 1800 BCE in one of the other realms, known as Sirinia at the time, two of the more powerful members fell into a feud over a woman. The feud grew in fervor and the rest of the council in that plane eventually joined sides. As the war raged, no longer really about a woman, each side turned to more and more dangerous fleshforming until they lost control over their fleshformed creatures. The council members in other planes worked quickly to seal Sirinia away from themselves, so that what had been created could not break free, that world is now known colloquially as Hell.
Shortly afterwards on the east coast of the Mediterranean sea rose the first group of anti-supernatural warriors, who were set on destroying any supernatural creation and severing the ties to other worlds under their leader Abraham, himself some kind of immortal although he was not a vampire or sorcerer. The group made good progress for a hundred years until they came into brutal conflict with the council and were sorely defeated, the people broken and scattered, although their descendants would eventually come together again in Canaan around 1400 BCE as the first of the Israelites.
This kingdom began to grow again, quietly, keeping largely to itself although anti-supernatural sentiment still ran strong, just when it had started to reach real power the council of Babylon, remembering the war with the Israelites ancestors used the Kingdom of Babylon to smash the Kingdom of Judah, destroying the First Temple and sending most of their people once more into exile, this time mostly in Babylon and Egypt. With their common enemy crushed the council began to drift apart and few new members were accepted, they each began to work on separate projects and it was during this time that great empires began to develop in Greece, Persia, India, China, South America and eventually Rome.
Alexander the great was the son of one of the most powerful councilmembers and constituted the last serious involvement in the affairs of men by the council. He was eventually slain by another who was able to subvert his protections and the council fell to bickering amongst themselves, until they settled upon an accord of non interference with the world. An accord which they would frequently break, but generally only in small or deniable ways. They accepted no new members, and vigilantly protected the secrets of fleshforming.
The withdrawal of the Council created something of a power vacuum and it was filled by several new groups by around 300BCE. They were mostly made up of the descendants of those whod served the council of Babylon in some way, priests, companions or servants. Those whod seen the use of magic and had some idea on how to go about it, or where to look for clues to go about it. Relatively weak councils formed in South America, Western Europe, and Scandenavia now typically called the Incan Council, the Druidic Council, and the Viking Council. A significantly more powerful one formed in China, known as the Eastern Council, and by far the most powerful formed in Italy, known as the Council of Rome. The Roman council had many advantages over the others, being close to the seat of Alexanders power, and the closest to Babylon and all the artifacts and knowledge of that area. Despite their relative power they had no access to the higher mystical arts or to fleshforming, and many turned to vampirism as a way to extend their lives and authority. Rome became the vampire capital of the world even as it grew much more powerful under the guiding hand of the Roman Council.
Meanwhile the Israelites slowly began to pick themselves back up leading eventually to the formation of the Hasmonean Dynasty in 165 BCE. Remembering the history of the Israelites as powerful anti-supernatural warriors the Council of Rome pushed Rome into invading and conquering Judaea in 63 BCE. By 50BCE the Incan council had fallen apart, and the Viking council had fragmented into several warring sects, meanwhile the Eastern Council grew in strength and formed into the group called The Dynasty.
In 33 AD the new religion of Christianity was formed out of that of Judaism, and although nobody noticed much at first it’s influence started to rapidly spread, almost as if it was being supernaturally aided. In 64 AD The council of Rome had noticed this disturbing upswing in the influence of the descendants of Israel and Emperor Nero blamed Christians for the great Fire of Rome that year, creating a massive wave of persecution against Christians throughout the Empire. In spite of this however, the new religion continue to flourish and many of it’s supplicants in secret began working against the supernatural. More and more ties to the other realms became broken and the Gods finally decided to leave Earth to make their primary residence in another plane, many of the lesser councilmembers who hadn’t attained full godhood broke away into their own faction and founded a Golden city in yet another realm in this period leading up to around 300AD, a few remaining on earth and instead heading north away from civilization. These lesser members are now known as the Fae.
When Christianity was finally adopted by the Roman Empire officially it was considered a great victory against the council of Rome and ever since the supernatural have been pushed into hiding. It was around this time when the council of Rome started to be known as Manus, or The Hand. While the anti-supernatural faction within Christianity and Judaism was called The Temple. In 150 AD what was left of the Viking council fell to a growing faction of werewolves in Scandinavia.
The Druidic council, long forgotten to the northwest grew strong under the influence of the Fae who traveled there instead of to the Golden City, far removed from the area in which the struggles between the supernatural and natural occurred, from Babylon and the old gates to hell much greater trust existed between the Druids and their people, and they practiced magic openly.
While the Hand and Temple fought for control of Rome, the long forgotten and newly powerful druidic council, or as it came to be known, the Order, and it’s barbarian tribes began to push south, culminating in the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. At the same time, the Dynasty were being heavily punished by the Mongols and their shamans.
During most of the Medieval period control of Europe was divided between the Hand, the Order and the Temple. The Temple had control of Spain, and Russia, as well as influence in the middle east, whereas the Hand still controlled Italy and England, with the Order retaining control of most of the rest of Europe. The Temple’s influence through Christianity however exerted a heavy hand and they were the most powerful faction for most of this time, all supernaturals needing to exist in secret. The Viking lands to the north remained largely uncontrolled by the factions, instead being the home to several powerful packs of werewolves.
The factions and their agent empires continued to wage war throughout Europe, until the Industrial revolution. The rise of science diminished the powers of the supernaturals comparatively, while the declining power of religion damaged the Temple. The factions continued to compete however through attempts to out expand each other, with The Hand locking down territory in Australia and North America, the Order also found some purchase in north America while the Temple claimed much of central and South America.
At around 1900 the power structure was as follows: The Order controlled most of Canada, and southeastern US. They also controlled most of Central Europe, and Ireland. The Hand controlled the economic centers of the US, Italy, Egypt, England and Australiasia, The Temple controlled Mexico, Peru and Brazil, Russia and some parts of the US, particularly central and southern US. They also controlled Russia, and had a fair hand in the middle east. Another group, calling themselves the Dynasty held most of Asia, while central south America, and Africa were controlled by regional shamans with little progress being made by the factions into those areas. Scandinavia continued to be werewolf territory. The Hand managed to take control of France from The Order, and this kicked off world war one, beginning with a coup in Italy organized by the Order and then their backing of the powers of Germany to try to reclaim France and then England, pushing The Hand entirely out of Europe. The Temple originally stayed out of the conflict, but then eventually joined on the side of The Hand when it seemed like the Order might be too successful. The Order was eventually defeated and went into a period of remission, with the Hand reclaiming Italy.
The supernatural group responsible for world war two is unclear, but the effect upon the supernatural world was massive. All three of the great supernatural factions at the time were broken, most of their members dead or fled they splintered into hundreds of different groups.
The cold war between Russia and the United States exacerbated affairs with numberous secrective groups forming and dissolving every few years as supernaturals fought for influence in the shadows.
For as long as the supernatural world has existed there have been those who can foresee the demise of others. While not always guaranteed or perfectly accurate these warnings have been a source of comfort and/or distress for many in the supernatural world depending on their own mindset.
On the 29th of October 2023 these prophesies included dates covering the entirety of the 21st century but on the 30th of October there no longer was a single one that was later than the 5th of September, 2037. News of this fact spread slowly and then faster and faster as it was more broadly verified. Whats more many residents of Haven reported having a strange shared dream where they were all huddled in the lodge while hte world outside died.
A Venetian council was called and experts and investigators were all questioned to try and establish what exactly changed that day and what exactly the nature of the doom that faced the world could be.
There was little information to be had, however and even less consensus. For the residents of Haven many found they awoke from the strange dream with holes in their memory, forgetting people or places or events, sometimes even highly cherished ones.
For those who thought this fate was yet preventable the supernatural cold war began to grow ever hotter. Whether the world was to face its end at the hands of a demonic horde, being swallowed by the void or just at the hands of humans with far too many powerful weapons the best defence was a good offence. To ascend as many Eidolons who would side with them as they could over the next decade and destroy those likely to be a liability. Of course, few could agree on which were which and plenty simply saw the chaos as a new opportunity to rise.
This first began to change in Mesopotamia around 8500BCE, Sorcerers began to develop in earnest, and the knowledge of magical forces increased. These sorcerers broke into several dynastic lines, teaching their children their knowledge following an oral tradition. Experiments in fleshforming started around 2000 years later, and in 6000BCE the first reports of vampires and werewolves occurred. Several sorcerous dynasties combined with the rise of the Sumarians to form what’s now known as the Council of Babylon, despite at the time it existing in Kish, some distance from where Babylon would be erected. The council existed on other worlds as well, having determined ways to walk between them and was the ruling power in most other earth-like planes. They were also spreading to the developing Egypt. The Council were immortal and in 2400 BCE the first God was created.
The council continued to grow in influence, and spread with civilization, many of the oldest and most powerful members were now Gods whilst others were simply immortal. In 1800 BCE in one of the other realms, known as Sirinia at the time, two of the more powerful members fell into a feud over a woman. The feud grew in fervor and the rest of the council in that plane eventually joined sides. As the war raged, no longer really about a woman, each side turned to more and more dangerous fleshforming until they lost control over their fleshformed creatures. The council members in other planes worked quickly to seal Sirinia away from themselves, so that what had been created could not break free, that world is now known colloquially as Hell.
Shortly afterwards on the east coast of the Mediterranean sea rose the first group of anti-supernatural warriors, who were set on destroying any supernatural creation and severing the ties to other worlds under their leader Abraham, himself some kind of immortal although he was not a vampire or sorcerer. The group made good progress for a hundred years until they came into brutal conflict with the council and were sorely defeated, the people broken and scattered, although their descendants would eventually come together again in Canaan around 1400 BCE as the first of the Israelites.
This kingdom began to grow again, quietly, keeping largely to itself although anti-supernatural sentiment still ran strong, just when it had started to reach real power the council of Babylon, remembering the war with the Israelites ancestors used the Kingdom of Babylon to smash the Kingdom of Judah, destroying the First Temple and sending most of their people once more into exile, this time mostly in Babylon and Egypt. With their common enemy crushed the council began to drift apart and few new members were accepted, they each began to work on separate projects and it was during this time that great empires began to develop in Greece, Persia, India, China, South America and eventually Rome.
Alexander the great was the son of one of the most powerful councilmembers and constituted the last serious involvement in the affairs of men by the council. He was eventually slain by another who was able to subvert his protections and the council fell to bickering amongst themselves, until they settled upon an accord of non interference with the world. An accord which they would frequently break, but generally only in small or deniable ways. They accepted no new members, and vigilantly protected the secrets of fleshforming.
The withdrawal of the Council created something of a power vacuum and it was filled by several new groups by around 300BCE. They were mostly made up of the descendants of those whod served the council of Babylon in some way, priests, companions or servants. Those whod seen the use of magic and had some idea on how to go about it, or where to look for clues to go about it. Relatively weak councils formed in South America, Western Europe, and Scandenavia now typically called the Incan Council, the Druidic Council, and the Viking Council. A significantly more powerful one formed in China, known as the Eastern Council, and by far the most powerful formed in Italy, known as the Council of Rome. The Roman council had many advantages over the others, being close to the seat of Alexanders power, and the closest to Babylon and all the artifacts and knowledge of that area. Despite their relative power they had no access to the higher mystical arts or to fleshforming, and many turned to vampirism as a way to extend their lives and authority. Rome became the vampire capital of the world even as it grew much more powerful under the guiding hand of the Roman Council.
Meanwhile the Israelites slowly began to pick themselves back up leading eventually to the formation of the Hasmonean Dynasty in 165 BCE. Remembering the history of the Israelites as powerful anti-supernatural warriors the Council of Rome pushed Rome into invading and conquering Judaea in 63 BCE. By 50BCE the Incan council had fallen apart, and the Viking council had fragmented into several warring sects, meanwhile the Eastern Council grew in strength and formed into the group called The Dynasty.

Superpowers
Fae, Demons and Gods are considered the superpowers of the supernatural
world, generally beyond the ken of most normal society members to deal with.
Supernatural Deals
Demons:
You will never come out of a deal with a demon with the world being a better
place, you may end up ahead personally however. Demons are all about
maximizing suffering, and will generally stick to deals as long as that
happens, they will break their word the second they are robbed of that
opportunity however and have no tolerance for word games. They also tend to
hate people who aren’t afraid of them.
Fae:
Fae love to play word games, and usually are looking to trick people trying
to make deals with them to suffer some awful fate. They love rules
lawyering, but are very good sports when beaten, since they care less about
winning or losing than they do the game.
Gods:
Gods generally care more about the spirit of the deal than the letter of it,
and consider it binding. Attempts to cheat them are usually met with
horrible wrath although they won’t go back on their word, it’ll just be of
less use to you once you’re dead.
Combat
Fae will almost never join a fight personally, and will simply run away once
their soldiers and monsters have been defeated. Demons sometimes run away
and sometimes fight, and can even fight to the death sometimes although
players would rarely if ever be in a position to actually fight a demon
given they’re all sealed away in hell. Gods will usually fight for a while,
but after they get hit enough will decide they don’t like it much anymore
and fuck the hell off.
Lieutenants
Demons typically operate through vassals, humans or abominations who’ve
gained power through a Faustian deal and are now beholden to the demon.
Abominations working for demons can often be even stronger than typical
abominations, and would require large groups to eliminate in a direct fight.
Vassals want what their master wants, usually to an unhealthy degree, the
level of suffering inflicted upon them if they fail is pretty insane, they
will lie, cheat and steal if necessary to obtain it, its not uncommon to see
a Vassal put themselves through incredible suffering just to make sure they
succeed.
Fae usually work through humans or monsters of their own creation, these are
often very strong but are more designed to evade direct conflicts in most
situations. They are not particularly loyal to their masters as much as
they are expressing their natures. The Fae made them to cause mischief and
so they will, but not necessarily in the way the Fae intended. Humans
lieutenants are usually more straightforward and are simply doing it for
money or power, or fun or sex, the consequences of their failure are usually
less dire than that of demons, although depending on the Fae can still be
pretty fucked up.
Gods work through angels, angels are 100% loyal and are really simply an
expression of the god’s will although they may be quite intelligent and
powerful of their own accord, wingless ones are usually preferred for work
on earth. Angels think nothing of sacrificing themselves for their cause.
Lieutenants rarely operate alone and with their group they’re typically more
than a match for a small group or even society, taking them out requires a
coordinated attack by several societies, which is fairly well and
strategically implemented. These plans will usually go horribly wrong if
someone tips the bad guys off about them.
Agents
Demonic agents are people who they’ve made deals with demons but not granted
particularly remarkable power, or those demons have fleshformed or had their
lieutenants manipulate. They love to work with corrupt police officers in
particular, and often will jack them up physically slightly although the
officers are unaware of it. They also enjoy corrupting people and using
their influence to force their employees to do work for them. They consider
agents utterly disposable and generally employ them for singular tasks or to
support a lieutenant.
Fae agents are people or creatures they’ve manipulated or fleshformed
somehow, or very often a luck manipulated figure. They might turn a person
into some sort of monster, just to watch what happens, or give them the
craving for the flesh of a particular person they dislike, but rarely stoop
to giving them actual instructions. Otherwise they’ll use their ability to
make luck direct someone down a certain path, over the course of a year or
two they can quite comfortably take a man from a wealthy and influential
position to a homeless wreck obsessed with revenge. They don’t care about
the lives of their agents exactly, but do care that they go out in an
interesting way and last to get there.
Godly agents are usually people who the gods have visited in some sort of
vision, while they often appear as their pantheonic identities, other times
they’ll take on the guise of an angel or Jesus or whatever suits that
person’s particular religious beliefs. They then typically charge their
agent with some quest, some gods are very protective of their agents, while
others don’t remotely care. Depending on the strength of an agent they can
usually be defeated by an individual, or small group of three or so.
Demons, Fae and Gods almost never come do stuff personally, almost entirely
working through agents and lieutenants. Not all Fae are antagonistic, about
a third of them can be considered generally friendly towards humans, while
about two thirds of gods are friendly.

This stat unlocks the swarm genus type for shapeshifters. This allows shifters to turn into a group of animals, with larger groups necessitating a smaller size of individual creature. Swarm shifters can never take more damage in one hit than a proportion equivalent to their remaining number. So if you have five animals in your swarm, you cannot take more than 1/5th of your life in a single hit.
As a trade-off, however, your damage is also reduced by the proportion of your remaining defence. For example, if you have 25/100 DF, you will deal 25% of your normal damage, whereas if you have 10/200 DF, you will deal 5% of your normal damage.
This also gives +5 to animal shapeshifting pools, to a minimum of 15.
Tiny creatures are a swarm of 16 individuals.
Small creatures are a swarm of 8 individuals.
Small-Medium creatures are a swarm of 4 individuals.
Medium creatures are a swarm of 2 individuals.
Man-sized or larger creatures are a single individual.

Telepathy
Levels: 0, 2
Requirements: Sensitive OR Supernatural, and 100,000 Dream Experience
Telepathy allows a character to send a message directly into the mind of another, so long as that character has vision and is not in a room which is signalproofed.
Syntax: telepath (person) (message)
Example: Paul types, “telepath jortney Be quiet, it’s right around the corner!
Result: Jortney sees, “A voice in your head says ‘Be quiet, it’s right around the corner!’”
Voice strings are not automatically attached nor is punctuation.
Telepathy is mentally strenuous, so using this skill imposes a cooldown on that character’s next telepathic message. This cooldown is roughly twelve minutes.
Using emotes, private or otherwise, to simulate telepathic messages is considered to be inappropriate by staff.

territory
Syntax: Territory/Territory info (territory)/Territory
(north/south/asia/africa/europe/australasia/wilds/godrealm/other)
Territories are areas of supernatural control within the world, usually
centered around some city and extending out until they meet another
territory. Typically happening along naturalistic borders such as states or
countries. The thee societies tend to have some influence in every
territory, although it can vary wildly.
Statuses:
Goverened: This means that an area is controlled by a particular alliance,
they set and enforce the laws for supernaturals in that area and likely have
a great deal of influence over the human side of it as well.
Shared: This means an area is controlled by more than one group, with them
sharing power in some way. They might share it based on different parts of
the territory, on on different responsibilities.
Contested: This occures when two or more alliances are actively trying to
take responsibility for the same things in conflicting ways. Both trying to
enforce their set of laws and so forth. It also indicates a struggle for
increased control over the territory, although at this level it is not a
violent struggle.
War: This happens when societies in a contested territory escalate into using
violence against one another. Outright street combat is still rare, with
societies generally prefering to destroy each other’s assets, such as setting
fires, or steal or saboutage each other’s property or vassals. Over time
however violence tends to increase, to beating other society’s agents and
surrogates, to beating society members and eventually outright killing each
other off.
Wild: This means that nobody really controls the area, while you’re free to
do as you wish, others as also fee to kill you if they don’t like what you
did.
Conflict:
Few territories are free of conflict forever, it tends to be cyclical. A
territory will start off as goverend or shared, then some event will tip
them into contested, they will eventually either settle back into
goverened/shared or it will escalate into war. The war will grow more
violent until the parties eventually settle back into some goverened/shared
state. And eventually that will kick back off into contested etc.
The scale of violence and type of violence in conflicts is largely
determined by the type of territory. Supernatural violence is camouflaged
into human violence, and thus in a city with heavy gang crime supernatural
wars take place disguised as gang wars, in a wartorn city, supernatural wars
take place disguised as insurgent conflicts and the like. In territories
with low violent crime, supernatural conflicts involve very little violence
themselves.
Control:
The control percent indicates the average chance a society would be able to
achieve something on the human side of things in that territory, such as
getting someone arrested or having a building licence approved. The areas
of control are:
Law Enforcement: Control or influence over police officers, captains, jail
wardens or judges. With judges usually being the most sought after.
Government: Control or influence over politicians and especially their
staff, who’re typically much more reliable.
The People: Control or influence over the media, or highly respected and
influential people.
Money: Control or influence over the rich, possession of or influence over
large businessess.
Land: Being able to monitor and deploy soldiers or surrogates to physical
territory such as street blocks.
Property: Societies particularly like to own residential developements,
apartment buildings and hotels as they can work magic to influence those
that sleep there or even feed from them psychically. Owning commercial
buildings is also sought after but offers less control.
Conflicts over territory usually involve societies trying to obtain more of
these things, or trying to deprive them from their enemies. If a society
wants help with a territory from players it’s likely for similar reasons.
Ettiquette:
When entering a new territory, either to stay there or to perform some
mission there it’s usually considered proper to ask permission from the
governing supernatural body. Not doing so means you may be picked up for
trespassing, the likelyhood of which depends on the amount of control the
society has. In conflicted regions or regions involved in wars it’s easier
to get by without seeking permission, although if you’re identified as an
enemy things will still go badly for you.
Map:
You can view the current territories on the online map by going to,
havenrpg.net/worldmap.bmp

In this map territories are red if contested, bright red with a bullseye

this power to someone else with territory refer (person).

The Arkwrights: The Arkwright family typically finds themselves in medical professions, but other Arkwrights have the misfortune of finding themselves victims of Haven’s nightlife. James Arkwright is actually one of the original founders of the town, but tends to be off politicking for the Hand throughout the US. He turns up in town now and then, late on a Friday or Saturday night (see help founding family heads). (Arkwrights, please assume he visits semi-regularly to torture you)

The Families
The six Founding families of Haven are considered Haven’s elite class.
From the lowly trailer park Moores to the dangerous Wilsons, the six
Founding families are all influential in their own right. While not as
powerful as the Societies, their support in Haven is sought after by many,
and crossing them is ill-advised. The families include the Moores, the
Reeves, the Swanns, the Arkwrights, the Wilsons and the Inigos.
It costs 5k Karma to play a member of these families, which is selected just
by creating a character with the relevant surname. See ‘Help Family’ and
‘help Recollect’ for useful tools.
Characters who abuse FF characters will have a flag placed on their account
which will render them unable to create them in the future.

The Inigos
The Inigos: The most powerful family in Haven by far, an Inigo has almost always sat on the Mayorship in Haven, and Augustus Inigo was no different — nearly every great Inigo has always gotten by on a Demonic Pact or two. On the Day of Red, the Mayor went missing, but he has since returned, and is back in his offices and about town again (see help founding family heads).
Theme: Evil, evil, and more evil. If you’re going to play a virtuous Inigo, they probably have had to escape the clutches of their wicked family, who don’t take kindly to self-exile. If you’re Tiering up, Demonic Pacts are the way to go for modifiers.

Archetypes: Local, Student, Soldier, Timeswept, Important Local, Special Deputy, Local Celebrity, Pillar of the Community, Any **Demonborn**

Frank Reeves has been the Sheriff of Haven for over twenty years. He went missing on the Day of Red, but has since returned to his post and is about town again (see help founding family heads).

The Saltes
The Saltes: If any family can lay claim to being called the blue-collar family of Haven, it would be the Saltes. It was a Salte captain who’s ship brought James Arkwright to Haven. It was a Salte’s hands and ingenuity that led to the Lighthouse being built. To this day the Saltes provide Haven with its fish supply, among other things. (Please assume Wilbur keeps in regular contact with his family members)
Theme: The Saltes have a connection to the ocean that none of the other families can understand, but that they all respect.

The Treaty of Venice
The Treaty of Venice is a set of accords that most groups in the
supernatural world are signatories too. It lays out a set of common rules
and understandings that allows members of different groups to get along when
they need to. The treaty was signed in Venice in 1584, replacing the older
Byzantium accords.
The largest difference between the Treaty of Venice and the Byzantium
accords is the strict rules about the revelation of the supernatural world
to unaware humans and it’s no coincidence that this change was made during
the height of the witch trials.
Under the treaty of Venice any member of the signatory organizations may be
executed if revealing the existence of the supernatural to a human causes
significant harm to any other signatory member. In modern times this
accusation is difficult to make stick, and generally requires fairly clear
cut examples of someone revealing the supernatural to a human only to have
that human turn to a path of vengeance, supernatural hunting or spreading
the word indiscriminately. It also doesn’t apply if the human goes on to
join a signatory group before doing said harm, allowing organizations like
the Temple to continue recruiting.
The other main principles of the Treaty are:
Oaths: A member of the supernatural world is considered bound by any oath
they make invoking the Treaty of Venice. Anyone who violates this oath owes
reparations to the injured party, if they do not pay, their organization
will be compelled to on their behalf. While formally this involves stating,
I swear by the Treaty of Venice, it is almost always accepted to also simply
say, I give you my Venetian word, or I make a Venetian promise.
Treaties: Members of different organizations may at times need to work
together, in order to facilitate that the Treaty covers temporary alliances
between different members known as Venetian truces. Again the general
requirement is to mention the word Venice of Venetian in your proposal of a
truce, as well as to stipulate until when it will last either by a date or
time or by a particular event. Such as “I offer you a Venetian Truce until
sundown.” Or “Venetian Truce until we catch this guy?” While under a truce
any hostile actions are considered violations. A failure to help your new
ally however is not considered a violation.
Hospitality: In order to successfully host meetings and settle disputes,
members of different organizations may often need to work together. To
extend someone Venetian hospitality covers that individual until they leave
the residence or place of business in question. Any harm that befalls them
there that you did not do your best to prevent is considered a violation.
Whenever a violation occurs, reparations are determined. The general
principle is that the aggrieved is paid back for the offense threefold. If
they lost a hundred dollars, they must be paid back three hundred. If they
lost a finger, the guilty will lose three fingers. If they were killed, the
guilty and two members of his or her family will be put to death.
Such matters are generally resolved by a council involving a representative
from each of the two involved organizations and a representative of one
other signatory organization, determined by random draw. In most clear cut
cases however, the matter does not proceed this far and an organization
simple forces their member to par the threefold reparations.

Timeswept
Tier Two Archetype
Human
This archetype represents people who have fallen out of their time in the
past and into ours. They can be out somewhere, walking along peacefully
when they stumble into a hole in time. To the rest of the world they simply
have vanished, fallen off the face of the earth. But time shifts and at
some point in the future, maybe twenty years later, maybe two thousand years
later they will step right back into time again, without any knowledge that
any time has passed at all. When making a timeswept character, make them
the age you want them to be normally. If you’d like them to be 30, set the
birth year to 30 years ago, then use the timeswept command to input how many
years you wish for your character to have been out of time. This will
automatically push your birth year back that many years, while making you
look and age the same.
Minimum Age: 18
Syntax: timeswept (number of years)
Available Negative Modifiers: Addicted, Injured, Ill, Young
Available Positive Modifiers: Relic Holder, Scientifically Augmented, Demonic

Negtrain (stat or discipline)
Training can be done anywhere in the game and spends your experience or
RP experience to raise the stat or discipline you want to raise.

increases. It costs 10, 000 RPXP to raise a stat from 0 to 1, 20, 000 to
raise from 1 to 2. 30, 000 to raise from 2 to 3 etc.
Disciplines range from 0 to 100, it costs 200 experience * the level it’s
being raised to to increase. So 200 to raise to 1, 400 to raise from 1 to 2
etc.
You begin the game with 100, 000 of both types of experience.
Negtrain refunds a stat or discipline for 50% of it’s cost.
If you use train on a stat or discipline without enough experience, you’ll
set yourself as learning that stat or discipline and will automatically
acquire it once you have enough experience. You earn less experience if
you’re not trying to currently learn anything. If you change what stat or
discipline you’re learning, you will lose a small amount of experience or rp
experience.

attribute you are eligible to raise.

Traveling Explained
Normal getting around is down through cardinal directions, typing north,
east, south, west, up, down, northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest. Or
n, e, s, w, u, d, ne, se, sw, nw.
Some rooms you may not be able to get into, such as air rooms if you can’t
super jump or fly, while others such as underwater rooms you’ll only be able
to stay in for a short time if you can’t breathe underwater.
To get around the town faster you can hail a taxi, drive a car or
motorcycle, or get in the town trolley. The town trolley is free to ride
and regularly stops at locations around town, just type board when it stops
near you, and disembark when it has arrived where you want to go.
To hail a taxi type taxi list to see all the intersections taxis stop at,
then taxi (number) to travel to one, this is fairly quick but you will have
to pay for the ride. Cars and motorcycles are used similarly but with the
commands drive (location) and ride (location) You can put the names of
passengers you wish to bring after the location such as drive 1 Bob Sue Jane
and as long as they are following you, they’ll come also.
If you want to move out of town you will need to use the travel command,
this can be used at the intersection nearest the bus depot in the
northwestern part of town. To see a list of rooms you can go to type
roomlist, and then travel (number) to go there. You can also use travel
car/motorcycle/plane (number) to use alternate methods to the bus, and bring
people with you by including their names afterwards in a list.
To make rooms outside the town for people to travel to you’ll use the
makeroom command.
Traveling by plane is necessary for leaving the continent and much faster
than other methods, but costs a fair bit.
You can type stall when using any sort of travel to pause where you are so
you can RP in your vehicle etc.
You can use follow (person) to follow someone around, follow self will stop
following.

Traveling Offworld
To travel offworld generally requires finding a place in Haven’s outer
forest where you can slip between this world and another. These paths are
usually hard to find until you stumble onto one, but once found can be
fairly reliably rediscovered. Coming back from another world to Haven works
in a similar fashion, although a type of magic protects against just anyone
from finding the paths back, only those with a special bone compass item can
return. Paths between Haven and Hell do exist, but they are sealed off by
what looks to be a barrier of thorns and branches from the side of Haven.
This barrier can be broken down, although doing so is rarely wise. It also
reforms fairly rapidly and cannot be broken down from the other side.
Horses can be ridden to and from other worlds, but no other type of vehicle
can make the journey. Once in another world either pathing or horse riding
is needed to get around.
Sorcery tends to be stronger in other worlds, but technology is much less
reliable. Firearms still generally work but automatic and semi-automatics
in particular are often prone to failing, most people prefer to take
revolvers and bolt-action rifles on trips offworld.

Try
Try
try (action) with (stat, stat…)
–Tell the room what you are attempting and which of your stats, disciplines or abilities you are bringing to it. For example, try to pick the lock with Larceny, Dexterity. Separate the stats with commas, since many stat names are more than one word. If your action itself contains the word “with”, that is fine: only the last “with” starts the stat list.
try (number) (action) with (stat, stat…)
–A number at the front limits how many people may assist you. try 0 … means nobody can.
The room sees your attempt along with each stat you named, described the same way showstat describes it. A name that is one letter out is still recognised. A name the game does not recognise is shown as “(Unknown)” rather than refused, and so may a stat you do not have at all, so check your spelling. Knowledge of the supernatural is Know Super here.
The storyrunner in the room is told what you are trying and decides whether it needs a roll. If it does, they set a challenge with rollchallenge and you are told what you need; then type roll. If there is no storyrunner in the room, you are told so and nothing further happens.
A storyrunner may ask you to try something with calltry. You answer with try in the same way.

Vampire Blood
Vampire blood is an extremely potent drug, affecting everyone who
consumes it with increased energy levels, feelings of invulnerability or
superiority, as well as dulling sensitivity to pain. In addition, it is
also a very potent aphrodisiac and effective treatment for erectile
dysfunction. The fresher the blood is from the vein, the more potent it is
in its effects.
Deemed a controlled, illegal substance to buy or sell, vampire blood is
largely acquired on the street under the names V (Vee), Juice, Red and Hype.
It is typically taken by party goers or as a sexual stimulant, and is
sometimes used as a date rape drug in conjunction with other chemicals.
Vampire blood, especially in larger doses also can increase a subject’s
suggestibility. Characters dosed with vampire blood will have to pay a
significantly higher price to resist supernatural influence or hypnotic
commands.
Syntax: Giveblood/Force (vampire) giveblood.
-Creates a vampire blood object which can be drunk or use to dose food or

vampire mechanics
Constitution:
Vampires are immune to critical wounds. A critical wound for a vampire is
essentially a severe wound, though markedly closer to death than one.
Vampire Blood:
Vampires can use the giveblood command to produce a glass of their blood,
which can be used to put a victim in a suggestible state See help vampire
blood for more information.
Vampire Feeding:
Syntax: bite (victim) (mild/severe/critical/fatal)
Bite your target, if they aren’t helpless you can only use the mild form of
the bite and must put them into a trance first. See help trance for more
information. Vampires transfer some of the victim’s lifeforce to themselves
when they bite, humans are much better sources of this than supernaturals,
and virgins are even better than most humans. There are limits to how much
life force a vampire can take themselves to when biting lower tier
characters however. See help bite for the full rules, including biting the neck, thigh
or wrist and the blood bonus that gives.
Daylight Penalties:
Vampires receive penalties during the day to their effective life force.
This is worse the closer it is to noon and the more exposed the vampire is
to the sun. Being indoors, away from windows and well covered up is
generally their best defense. The stat Sunlight resistance can help to
reduce the effects of the daylight weaknesss.
Sire Relationship:
Vampires can enter into a sire relationship with each other. Sires can use
Scry to see briefly through the eyes of those they’ve turned, and receive
bonuses to using hypnosis and supernatural influence on them. See help
turn for more information on how to sire a vampire.
Vampire Age:
Vampires appear 1 year older for every 100 years of age.
Vampire Lifeforce:
Vampire life force degenerates slower, but will only recover up to 90% on
it’s own, and will decay slowly if above that value forcing vampires to rely
on feeding to keep it higher. Vampires who feed on animals life force won’t
regenerate above 75%.
Vampire Resiliance:
The amount of damage a vampire can take in any round from PCs is is capped
at 60 for those without armor and 40 for those with it. With the remaining
damage going through to stagger. This does not apply to attacks with
shotguns, long blades and blunt weapons, or to attacks with weapons loaded
with incendiary rounds. Or to attacks from shifted werewolves. Attacks
from shifted werewolves additionally can convert some of the vampire’s
stagger into bonus damage when they attack.

Vampires
Vampires have existed for as long as anyone can remember. There are many
theories as to their origin, ranging from that they are a type of demon to
cursed souls.
Vampires are immortal, or, rather, immune to death by disease or old age.
Their bodies are unlike typical humans, requiring blood in order to keep
their muscles working. Although they don’t have a beating heart, blood
suffuses their entire form in an almost sentient manner. Maintaining this
requires the vampire to feed normally once or twice a week.
Feeding:
Most vampires feed from humans once or twice a week to maintain a typical
level of activity. Very active vampires, particularly vampires who fight
a lot, are likely to feed twice as much, while inactive vampires can feed
much less.
Many vampires have an innate talent with hypnotism, allowing them to
place prospective prey in a trance state to feed. The human is left with
no memory of the incident, at most feeling a recent rush of vertigo.
Most vampires will kill about one person a year from feeding. This is not
usually intentional, but a side effect of picking a target who has a weak
heart, high level of blood toxicity, thin blood or who has recently lost
blood. Regardless of how careful a vampire may be, it is impossible to
prevent occasionally killing someone so long as a vampire feeds on humans.
See help bite for information on feeding on PCs.
Vampire Blood:
Also known by street names such as V, Juice, Red and Hype.
See help vampire blood.
Turning:
New vampires are made by an existing vampire feeding on his target, then
feeding the target some of his own blood. Mechanically, this can be done
by using the force change command on a helpless target.
Turning does not directly affect a new vampire’s psychology. However,
the combination of access to power and the hunger that drives vampires
to occasionally kill do cause changes. Some newly turned vampires cannot
adapt and end up killing themselves, but this is rare. Most do adapt,
with world views ranging from balancing out their deeds with good works,
to the belief that it is their right to be natural predators or monsters.
Characters who are already dead, including ghosts and wights, cannot be
turned.
Death:
Vampires can die if they take enough physical damage. Vampires who are
killed disintegrate into ash.
Staking:
See help stake.
Sunlight:
Vampires are nocturnal creatures. They do not combust with exposure to
sunlight, but do find it extremely unpleasant. Sunlight is very bright
and painful to them, and is blinding without protection. Exposure to
direct sunlight burns them in a manner similar to a sunburn, but much
more quickly, particularly at midday.
Some vampires can develop a resistance to sunlight, and a rare few are
predisposed to it. However, even if they are resistant, the noon sun is
still extremely painful to them.
Reflected and Reproduced Images:
Vampires do produce reflections, but these reflections are unnatural. A
brief glance may not discern anything unusual, but prolonged exposure to
a vampire’s reflection first causes an uneasy feeling that gradually will
intensify to the point it can cause insanity. Even the vampires themselves
are not immune to this, causing them to use mirrors very sparingly.
This effect happens with all images that may be considered live, with the
vampire in the same room. Filming a vampire live or taking a picture which
involves a digital screen will cause this effect. Flat images (photograph
prints and portraits) and previously taken video or video not broadcasted
in the same room will not cause this effect.
Urban Legends:
Vampires are not repelled by garlic, but find the smell unpleasant. They
are not affected by religious symbols or holy water.
Slumber:
Vampires feel the urge to sleep during the day, which feels more or less
the same as typical tiredness. However, regardless of whether the vampire
has chosen to sleep during the day, all tiredness washes away with sunset.
Fatigue:
Vampires do not experience typical fatigue from physical exertion. Instead,
they get hungry. Blood for them is similar to fuel for a car, and the more
they exert themselves, the more hungry they feel, until they top up.
Physiology and Aging:
All vampire fluids are tinged with blood, including tears and saliva.
Vampires can reactivate their physiology with some concentration. Only by
doing this may they mimic typical human physiology in a limited form,
allowing them to digest large amounts of food and drink or engage in
sexual activity.
This reactivation can be emotionally driven, but such concentration does
require being awake. Theoretically, a female vampire can reactivate her
body to the point she is able to carry a child for nine months, but the
effort would require her not ever sleeping. Male vampires can impregnante
a living female with much less effort, though it would still require some
concentration to do. Sexual activities are the most common cause for
vampire activation.
Reactivating their physiology causes vampires to age while active. Their
day to day business may require activation, though vampires are able to
activate parts of their body at a time. Typically, it will take about
100 years to visibly age 1 year, although this can be reduced by refraining
from activation.
Note: Reactivation is not a coded mechanic, but entirely roleplayed.
Food, Drink and Drugs:
Vampires can imbibe small amounts of food and drink without problems. To
consume large amounts, they must reactivate their physiology. Drugs taken
by typical means do affect vampires, but at a very reduced rate (roughly
a third of the rate they would affect a human). Drugs consumed by feeding
on blood affect vampires the way regular consumption affects humans.

a third of the rate they would affect a human). Drugs consumed by feeding
on blood affect vampires the way regular consumption affects humans.

vassals
Vassals are individuals that societies have chosen to protect, they aren’t members of the organization but the group uses their clout to ease their passage through an otherwise hostile world.
It costs a society $100 resources per week to vassal a tier 1, $250 for a tier 2, and $500 for a tier 3.
Tier 2s and 3s without society membership or being a vassal will face lifeforce debuffs, more serious ones for T3s representing the difficulty in making it in a dark and hostile world full of supernatural oppression without allies. An unprotected supernatural who is a vassal is protected by limited Sanctuary.
Furthermore characters who are not either part of a society or vassals can lose their sanctuary protection if a society uses the society breaksanctuary command and has $10000 resources to spend, or can be targeted by an oppression curse, see help oppression.
Faction/Cult/Sect vassal recruit <person>
-Make someone a vassal of your society.
Faction/Cult/Sect vassal roster
-View all your society’s vassals.

vehicle costs
Cars, horses, and bikes are all vehicles, and all have different costs. Vehicles are paid for every week, the default value is 0.5% of the vehicle’s value, but those with multiple vehicles garaged may pay less for their extra ones if they aren’t being loaned out, with the discount increasing based on the owner’s wealth stat. Cost is also affected by society positions if the character involved is in a society with spiritual or material inclinations; these are displayed in the helpfile for society positions but will be replicated here.
Vehicle cost depends on quality level and vehicle class, though the individual type of vehicle has no bearing: a tough vehicle and a luxury vehicle cost the same. Bear in mind that vehicles with two types (luxury sports cars, tough vans, and so on) cost twice as much for each quality level.

Vehicular combat
The first two commands only work when driving a car.
Syntax: Runinto (pedestrian)
-This command attempts to run down someone standing/walking on the road. It
is only usable after you’ve reached 100 hours. You can target anybody
visible up to four rooms ahead of your vehicle. Motorcycles cannot do this.
Damage is increased the faster your car is, supernaturals, abominations and
the undead are less affected. The victim may be unaffected, or mildly to
critically wounded. If you severely or critically wound someone who is
protected you will be tainted. There’s a chance to temporarily knock out
individuals mildly or severely wounded. There’s a chance to have an
accident afterwards. If the streets are public, a news item will go up
announcing your hit and run.
Syntax: runinto (vehicle)
-This command attempts to ram your car into another car on the street, it
can be targeted at any vehicle visible up to four rooms ahead of your
vehicle. Motorcycles cannot do this and tend to fare poorly when targeted
by it. Each car is given a rating based on speed and toughness, going
faster and being tougher means you’re more likely to come out of the
accident on top. Both cars are at least damaged and characters thrown out
of them, they may also receive mild or severe wounds depending on who came
out on top in the accident, and the safety rating of the vehicle. Currently
this cannot cause understanding violations.
Syntax: attack (vehicle)
-This allows a person not in a car to attempt to force an accident by
attacking a vehicle. It can only be done when the area isn’t public,
generally meaning it must be wreathed in mist. If your character has some
type of firearm this is what will be used, the change the vehicle is stopped
is based on your disciplines with firearms versus the toughness of the car.
Excellent quality tough cars can never be driven off the road with firearms.
If you don’t have a firearm but have access to hellfire, shadow lightning or
a custom attack you will attempt to use this instead. The chance again
depends on the toughness of the vehicle but it is general more likely to
work than firearms. If you have brute force or a strength of greater than 8
you can also attempt to use that, but the vehicle must be in the room with
you. Attempting to attack a vehicle with close range powers, or long range
powers once it’s in the same room as you incurs a chance to get run over if
you’re unsuccessful.
If successful the car will be forced into an accident, and the passengers
may end up slightly injured.
Syntax: runinto wall
-Deliberately have an accident.

Victimize
Syntax: Victimize (target) (option)
Syntax: Become Difficult Prisoner
When used without a target, victimize will list all the possible options.
The victimize command allows someone to transfer some life force from a
helpless target to themselves. Each of the options presents a different way
to torment the victim, which will occur the next time the user uses an
emote.
The victim will then get a list of options of how to respond, and inputs a
number to select which one they will use, which also occurs on their next
emote. Victimize always costs the victim the same amount of life force, but
how much is transferred depends on the response chosen, with earlier, lower
number responses transferring more.
The victim has two minutes to make a response, and then 15 minutes to pick
an emote. If they do not make a response, stoic unresponsive will be chosen
for them. If they do not write an emote it will be processed as if they
did. Stoic unresponsive will always fire immediately, not requiring an
emote.
If a victim chooses the stoic unresponsive option twice in a row, they will
immediately transfer as much life force as they could over a prolonged scene
at a limited rate and be flagged as a difficult prisoner. Typing become
difficult prisoner will also flag you this way, but has a slightly higher
cost. Difficult prisoners slowly drain the life force from anyone
roleplaying with them while they are helpless and this flag lasts for three
days.
Using the pass out option similarly transfers as much life force as could be
transferred over a prolonged scene, but does not flag the victim as being a
difficult prisoner.
Lower tier victims provide less life force and characters will also obtain
less when using the same victimize options repeatedly. When using victimize
options that are not themselves mean, they will instead add to the amount
transferred on the next mean action. Supernaturals of higher tier than
their victims transfer lifeforce twice as fast as mundane’s given their
ability to also feed on psychic distress.
Any victims in the institute will lose life force as if being fed upon by a
supernatural, but their persecutor will only gain it as if they were human.
They will also gain standing in the institute however. While no official
comment has been made by the Greystone Trust confirming this
practice, most figure their discreet promotion of the practice has something
to do with this missing life force.
Attempting to OOCly influence the choices victims or persecutors make, or
attempting to insult or shame players after the fact for the choices they
make, including difficult prisoner choices is a violation of the rules and
will be treated harshly.
Less lifeforce can be obtained through Victimize if the target is being
victimized in the dream scape.

villainy
The Villainy system keeps track of how scary higher tier characters are.
A coded function keeps track of villainous activities people engage in
while villainy praises and disses allow PCs in the game to indicate
who they find particularly intimidating or scary or particularly
non intimidating/scary.
Every two weeks the highest rated character and lowest rated character
will have rumors based on their praises and disses with the highest
rated also having a chance to get a villainy buff for the next two weeks,
increasing their life force and life force regeneration as well as adding
a message to their look info.
Praises and disses are the most heavily weighted part of the system, with
penalties for repeatedly using them on the same individuals, the coded
system acts as a check to prevent people getting either buffed or debuffed
from praises/disses alone if they seem highly inconsistant with the coded
evaluation.
Characters who’ve done particularly well can get a +1 or -1 to the % of
karma they get back upon deleting/rerolling or lowering their tier, up
to a maximum of 15%. Staff can add or subtract a further 5%. Making
the total range possible 60-100%.
If a character is already at the minimum level and receive this penalty they
will take a life force debuff instead, if already at the maximum and get
this bonus they’ll recieve some karma instead.
All other T3s or higher with at least 100 hours will be reported in the news
every two weeks as particularly monsterous or corrupt individuals.
Use praise/diss (person) villainy (message) to do a villain praise or
diss, this costs no influence but can only be done once every two weeks
and this cooldown is account based. You should use this command ICly
to represent those your character finds particularly intimidating or
particularly not-intimidating for their archetype/tier.
So for instance you might praise someone because they did something mean
to you, you heard stories about them, or even because of the intimidating
way in which they carry themselves or act. You might diss someone for being
weak, nice, or silly.

Virgin
Levels: 0, 1, 2
Virgins are characters who have never had sex, they are particularly sought
after by vampires who can get more benefit from biting them.
For the purposes of mystical forces in the world of Haven, sex is defined as
any time one person penetrates another in any location with any part of
themselves or any object controlled or manipulated by them with sexual
intent. This act renders both parties non virginal.
Level 2 is supernatural virginity. This means it returns after about three
weeks to a month. Mystical virginity and physical virginity are both
tracked separately and are restored within the same timeframe.
Note: Kissing another person is an exception even though it may involve
penetrating their mouth with your tongue with sexual intent.

Warfare Patrol Events
One)
This event requires the launching character to be moving around. A victim
will be chosen from somewhere on the grid based on if they are considered an
enemy of the launching character’s society. This is determined by if
they’re a member of a society in a different alliance. Many factors are
involved in determining the viability of the target, with enemies who
are also on warfare patrol the most likely to be selected. Once the
target is selected they fall asleep, their spirit appearing deep
in the nightmare with their weapons and arrmor.
The attacker and anyone with them will also fall asleep and appear
as spirits in the nightmare. Members of both opposing alliances with
the warfare habit will get an alert, allowing them to also join the
conflict with patrol engage.
The nightmare is intially particularly chaotic, and the fight
cannot begin for some time as the attackers search for the victim inside it.
Both sides are free to RP during this period, they cannot see each other but
will be able to hear each other. The attacker can also pause in the search
to prolong the RP period and the victim can force the fight to start at any
time.
Individuals wounded during the ensuing conflict will have some of their
lifeforce transfered to all other combatants and wake back up.

Wave Relief Camp
The Wave
The night H5 opened, a tidal wave came in off the harbor and hit Haven. It flooded the streets, knocked out the power and wrecked the Franklin Bridge between the north and south sides of town. The homes out in the forest were washed away entirely. Most of the people who arrived in town that week have never met: they came in on the last buses, pulled out of the water, or were already here and have lost everything.
The relief camp
A relief camp has been set up in tents on the covered walkway outside the Webster Clinic, on the Greystone campus. Anyone new in town is brought there first. During the first night:
–Every hour or so, a volunteer at the camp asks for help: a cooler of insulin, generator fuel, water or blankets lost somewhere in the flood, or someone who never made it to the camp. The volunteer says roughly where to look. Go out together, find it, and bring it or them back to the camp.
–When you get close you may hear or see something that points the way.
–A missing person follows whoever finds them. Walk them back to the camp.
–Everyone who took part in a search and is at the camp when it comes back gets some RPXP.
–The heads of the founding families take turns stopping by the camp through the night.
The first night
–The power is out: the lights are off across town.
–The streets are under water and the basements are flooded.
–No cars will start, so everyone goes on foot.
–A group walking together moves as fast as its slowest member, with no extra slowdown for its size.
The next two days
–The power comes back and the streets drain at 10AM Eastern the morning after the wave. The basements stay flooded for two days.
–The Franklin Bridge stays closed for two days. No car can get between the north and south sides of town until it reopens. On foot it is a long way round, down the Overlook stairs and along Underlook Beach. (OOC: supernatural ways of getting around town are not stopped by the closure.)

The night H5 opened, a tidal wave came in off the harbor and hit Haven. It flooded the streets, knocked out the power and wrecked the Franklin Bridge between the north and south sides of town. The homes out in the forest were washed away entirely. Most of the people who arrived in town that week have never met: they came in on the last buses, pulled out of the water, or were already here and have lost everything.
The relief camp
A relief camp has been set up in tents on the covered walkway outside the Webster Clinic, on the Greystone campus. Anyone new in town is brought there first. During the first night:
–Every hour or so, a volunteer at the camp asks for help: a cooler of insulin, generator fuel, water or blankets lost somewhere in the flood, or someone who never made it to the camp. The volunteer says roughly where to look. Go out together, find it, and bring it or them back to the camp.
–When you get close you may hear or see something that points the way.
–A missing person follows whoever finds them. Walk them back to the camp.
–Everyone who took part in a search and is at the camp when it comes back gets some RPXP.
–The heads of the founding families take turns stopping by the camp through the night.
The first night
–The power is out: the lights are off across town.
–The streets are under water and the basements are flooded.
–No cars will start, so everyone goes on foot.
–A group walking together moves as fast as its slowest member, with no extra slowdown for its size.
The next two days
–The power comes back and the streets drain at 10AM Eastern the morning after the wave. The basements stay flooded for two days.
–The Franklin Bridge stays closed for two days. No car can get between the north and south sides of town until it reopens. On foot it is a long way round, down the Overlook stairs and along Underlook Beach. (OOC: supernatural ways of getting around town are not stopped by the closure.)

–The wish part works exactly like wish, and is made for the same thing: “wishes to (desire)”. The closest person who can hear wishes hears it, whether or not you named someone (see help wish).
–As with desire, start your desire with a verb, and leave off the full stop.

Weakness
The weakness relationship allows a character to denote another as their
particular psychological weakness.
Characters with a weakness are more psychological resiliant in general, they
cost 3x as much to commit, are immune to nightmare pull or dream
invasion/snaring and are much less likely to be successfully abducted.
Being someone’s weakness is however more psychologically onerous, they cost
3x less to commit, half as much to nightmare pull or dream invade/snare and
are much more likely to be successfully abducted.
The character with the weakness will also share in the suffering of their
weakness, they take any life force losses the other char suffers multiplied
by 1. 5 times, and suffer pentalties to their lifeforce if their weakness
is wounded, helpless, committed, or dream snared.
You may make an employee PC your weakness, you can not otherwise make a PC
of your own your weakness.
Weakness status is lost if the weakness charcter is not being actively
played.
You will not be considered having a weakness if your weakness is inside the
institute and not a patient.
The Praestes Relationship is codely identical to the weakness relationship,
but ICly represents a connection brought about through conscious mystical
means instead of natural emotional dependence. Some sort of ritual is used
to create a connection that then protects one individual at the expense of
the other.
Characters with the sensitive stat are always considered to be a weakness.
Societies can claim enemies which may also consider their enemies weaknesses.

wear
Syntax: wear <item> (layer) (wear string)
Wear will take an object from your inventory and hold it or wear it on your
body. ‘Wear all’ will attempt to wear everything in your inventory. You
can optionally specify the layer and wear string to use after the item.
Setting layer to 0 will ignore the layer and just wear the item in the next
available location.

Wearing clothing
Haven’s clothing system is versatile, but not necessarily immediately intuitive; it will always follow a certain set of rules, but to have your attire look the way you want it to, you need a firm grasp of how these rules interact with one another in order to present yourself as desired.
The first thing to understand is that there are four item ‘sections’. The first section has two ‘slots’, and is limited to two items; it represents what’s held in your hands. This is where any item that is NOT clothing, armour, jewelry, or (most) containers will go. The second section is where the vast majority of your worn items will go: clothing, armour, and worn containers like backpacks, over the shoulder purses, cargo pants, and so on. The third section is jewelry, and the last section is sort of more of a half-section in that you do not wear anything there, but it is where items sized large that you are carrying will be displayed. In its base form with no customised wear strings (more on this in a minute), it looks like this:
Tamara is using:
(E) an iPhone 14 Pro in a rose gold case
(E) a voluminous black silk hood
(D) a snug, black silk bodice
a narrow, black silk sash
(D) a floor-length skirt of black silk
(D) a pair of modest black heels
(D) a bone and crystal charm on a pendant
(S) a narrow silver band with a serpent
(C) a full-body black silk robe, carried
In this example, this gothy little witch Tamara is holding her iphone, wearing a lot of black silk, has on some silver jewelry, and is carrying a big robe in her arms because she must’ve just got out of her latest cult meeting. You’re probably wondering what all those letters mean:
(A) means an item is armour, and provides protection in combat.
(C) means an item is a container and can hold other items. These can be worn.
(D) means an item is described, which means you can, for example, ‘look tamara bodice‘ to see what’s written about it.
(E) means an item is expensive, which has a threshold that varies based on item type.
(K) means an item is a key to the goblin market.
(S) means an item is marked with a society’s symbol, marking the bearer as someone who is ‘aware’. This can be looked at to see which symbol it is.
Items can, of course, have none of these flags, like Tamara’s sash. But what if multiple things are true? In that case, one flag takes precedence over the others for display, though when actively looked at they will all be shown. In order of display priority (that is, from least important to most important) they are: expensive, container, described, armour, key, symbol.
Next you need to understand what determines what items show where when looking at someone. You might think this is related to the order of your body locations, but this is not actually the case; it is based entirely on the wear layer of your clothing. Layers can be any number between 0–5, though you should really only use 1–5; layer 0 is a catch-all layer. Clothing layers determine not just what items of clothing cover what (a layer 1 panty, for example, is covered by a layer 2 skirt), but also in what order items and clothing are *displayed* when looked at. Tamara here has a hood of layer 5, her bodice /and/ sash are layer 4, her skirt is layer 3, and her heels are layer 1. It’s reasonable to wonder why her sash is not layer 3 and her skirt layer 2, but you need to remember that there are also layers of clothing that are /not/ displayed: her panties are layer 2, and were she in something other than a bodice, her bra would be layer 3.
In the case of multiple items with the same layer, they are displayed in reverse order of how they’re worn. Imagine stacking rings on a peg: if Tamara puts her sash on first and then her bodice, it displays as you see in the example above. Were she to wear her bodice first and then the sash, it’d be the opposite. Items will ‘remember’ where on this imaginary peg they are even if the other items surrounding them are removed, and new items applied to that layer will go to the lowest spot available to them. For example, if Tamara takes her sash off and then puts it — or any other layer 4 item — back on, it will be ordered below her bodice. In order to change display orders for the same layer, all items on that layer should be removed and re-worn in the desired order. Think of these ‘sub-slots’, for a given layer as being, for example, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and so on up to 4.10 (the maximum number of items per layer being 10). Removing the items in 4.3 and 4.5 isn’t going to change the item in 4.4 — it will remain 4.4.
Additionally, items can have ‘wear strings’, which are modifiers to how they appear when you’re looked at. Tamara is not using any wear strings, which is fine; you don’t need to. They can, though, add a lot of versatility to your appearance and add some added flavour and style to your appearance. Using her items as an example, she could:
wear bodice 4 cinches her waist in tight
wear hood 5 , shrouding her face in shadow
to have people then see
(E) a voluminous black silk hood, shrouding her face in shadow
(D) a snug, black silk bodice cinches her waist in tight
Note how the comma automatically pairs to the item itself like it ought to. Should Tamara decide she likes this new look for her bodice, it can be made permanent by using the customize command at a tailor, either in-line as customize bodice wear cinches her waist in tight, or via the full customize interface. Items can also be prepended with a wear string in parentheses:
wear hood 5 (head)
wear bodice 4 (cinched in)
results in
(head) (E) a voluminous black silk hood
(cinched in) (D) a snug, black silk bodice
Note that in this example there’s some extra padding after the hood’s wear string; all prefixed wear strings function this way.
If this seems like a lot, don’t worry! It is, but that’s it; nothing more needs to be understood in order to control your appearance. There are, though, a few other things worth noting about worn items:
Clothing and armour cover body descriptions, but jewelry does not.
Worn items can help regulate your body temperature:
Every piece of clothing you wear keeps you a little warmer, and the more of you it covers, the warmer it keeps you.
Items whose short descriptions contain the words fur, heated, insulated, leather, merino, padded, quilted, suede, thermal, or wool make you warmer still, and help suppress messages about shivering in cold.
Items whose short descriptions contain the words silk, satin, or vented keep you cooler, giving only half the warmth of other clothing, and help suppress messages about sweating in the heat.
Visible clothing whose short description contains the word black or dark soaks up the sun outdoors in the daytime, and makes you warmer.
Worn items can help provide defensive camouflage in combat:
Items whose long descriptions contain the words black, dark, gray, or grey provide camouflage in caves.
Items whose long descriptions contain the words gray, grey, or white provide camouflage in mountains.
Items whose long descriptions contain the word white provide camouflage in tundra.
Items whose long descriptions contain the words camouflage or green provide camouflage in forest.
Items whose long descriptions contain the words yellow or sandy provide camouflage in desert.
For camouflage to function, it requires three items of visible clothing with the relevant keywords, and it only matters on an operation’s battlefield of that terrain.

weather
–Show the time of day, the temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius, the state of the sky, any rain, hail or snow, and any mist. From after dusk until before dawn it also shows the phase of the moon, if you can see the sky. Looking at a room shows the same line.
Real-world weather
The weather follows the real world. Every hour the game fetches the current real weather: temperature, cloud cover, and whether it is raining, hailing or snowing. Haven has its own weather, and regions of the wider world take the weather of a real place in that region. The temperature shown is the real “feels like” temperature, so wind chill and humidity are already counted.
Time of day in Haven follows real Eastern time. Regions elsewhere in the world keep their own local time.
Indoors
If you are indoors and cannot see outside, you get the indoor temperature instead, and, unless you are underground, whether it is raining or hailing outside. You cannot tell the time of day from inside unless you are attuned to the sun. If you are indoors but can see outside, you see the sky as normal, and rain, hail or snow is described as falling outside.
Some properties have their own weather or temperature settings, and weather magic can change the weather for a property. Either one takes the place of the real weather there.
What the weather affects
Some powers work better in hot or cold weather, and other things in the game check the temperature, or whether it is raining or snowing, where you are.

Syntax: shift
Syntax: howl
They may use the howl command once per day. It may only be used in wolf
form. Other werewolves will hear the direction the howl came from.
They may use the packmate relationship, letting them sense what others in
their pack are feeling, even at great distances. They’re slightly stronger
while fighting with their pack, but are much weaker fighting against them.
Werewolves when shifted are all but immune to the damage cap when striking
other PCs, they also can do bonus damage against vampires in some situations
when shifted.
Werewolves receive bonus stagger when hit with weapons augmented with
silver.
Werewolves are vulnerable to the lunacy ritual, although those who haven’t
shifted in the last 2-3 months less so and can’t be corrupted so far as to
end up killing someone while under it’s effects.
Werewolves out on the full moon may end up killing an NPC randomly,
especially if their lunacy habit is set to Chained, Careless, or Embracing.
Werewolves shift into a large wolf form when they transform. With 2 speed,
1 agility, 1 power, acute smell and hearing, and nocturnal. Progression up
the primal focus further augments their transformed shape with +1 toughness
at rank 2 and +1 power at rank 3. See help animal stats and help animal weights

Base offensive discipline is equal to best unarmed discipline plus best
armed discipline plus half of best ranged discipline.
Base defensive discipline is equal to armor disciplines + toughness.

Werewolves
Also Read: Help Werewolf Mechanics.
Werewolves have been around for as long as humans, they are made whenever a
werewolf bites a human while in non human form, the bite must pierce the
skin. Not all bites are infectious, usually the more severe the bite the
more likely it will infect if the victim survives. Werewolves who wish to make
another usually will bite the same place repeatedly. Cauterizing wounds soon after
being bitten usually prevents infection.
Werewolves can transform at will into very large wolf shapes, larger than a man
and twice the size of a natural wolf.
Werewolves are much stronger than humans, they also regenerate quickly from
wounds and have heightened senses of smell. They are at home in nature,
enjoying the smell and feel of the natural world, by contrast highly
artificial smells and environments make them uncomfortable, such as smog or
cigarette smoke.
Werewolves and the moon
Werewolves transformations aren’t entirely linked to the moon, they can
change at any time. However they are much weaker during the new moon. Also
during the full moon werewolves are subject to a condition known as Lunacy.
Lunacy is a kind of rage or insanity that sets upon werewolves during the
full moon, it makes them anger extremely quickly and be very prone to
violence, some even hallucinate during it. It’s very common for werewolves
to transform during this time and rampage, and a full nine tenths of new
werewolves are bitten on the full moon from werewolves under the influence
of Lunacy. Werewolves who can resist changing for 2-4 months are able
to partially resist lunacy and are much less likely to end up killing
people during it.
The change
The change takes about a month and begins gradually, the new wolf’s senses
first begin to develop, then strength and healing abilities. The ability to
transform tends to come quite late in the month, and many don’t realize they
can transform until their first full moon.
Werewolves and silver
Silver causes itchiness and rashes to werewolves that wear it for prolonged
periods, additionally silvered weapons are liable to cause temporary
in werewolves struck by them.
Werewolves and magic
Werewolves are close to nature and have an intrinsic sense of what is an is
not natural, as well as a dislike for unnatural things. While technically
werewolves could perform magic it causes a strong unpleasant feeling
whenever it’s performed, most believe that this feeling is nature crying out
against it and are strong proponents of it stopping being used.
Werewolves and vampires
Werewolves are the embodiment of natural world, vampires of the unnatural
and there has always existed a degree of antipathy between them. Vampires
and werewolves find each other’s presence unpleasant, this doesn’t preclude
some from becoming friends or getting along, it is akin to a person having
bad BO. Unpleasant to be around, but not debilitating. Again many
Werewolves believe this is nature telling them that the vampires should be
destroyed.
Werewolves and death
Upon dying a werewolf will turn back into their human form, this isn’t
instant however and normally takes about an hour.
Werewolf pregnancies
Werewolves can get pregnant just like normal humans, there is a chance the
child will be born a werewolf. Having a werewolf mother gives about a fifty
percent chance for the child to be a werewolf, a werewolf father about a ten
percent chance. Werewolves can transform and are subject to lunacy at any
age, even as infants, although changing is usually beyond their control
until around the age of ten. Because of this even werewolves who want wolf
children usually prefer to have a human child and turn them once they’re old
enough. Children born werewolves almost invariably have to be hidden from
the world until they reach an age where they can control themselves.
Werewolf Hide
The skin of a transformed werewolf is a prized possession, garments made from
werewolf furs or tanned werewolf leather are extremely tough, wind
resistant, yet light and supple. Most werewolves can smell when a piece of
clothing is made from their skin and it’s normal for those who wear it to be
targeted for vengeance by the pack. Because of the werewolf’s
transformation upon death, the hide must be harvested very quickly or even
in some cases, while they are still alive.
Werewolf Psychology
Werewolves are mostly mentally unchanged from the humans they were before,
except that they tend to have a tendency towards anger, violence and group
socializing. These tendencies aren’t so profound as to change their
underlying nature however.
Some werewolves go primal, embracing the Lunacy. Most try to control
themselves during that time, or lock themselves up. Werewolves psychology
tends to shift towards very naturalist world views, they tend to oppose
industrialization and many have been linked to eco terrorist groups.
Werewolf Combat
Werewolves are generally considered the most powerful soldiers amongst
the supernaturally gifted, a combination of that and how easily
they can create more if the need presents itself leads to them
being the most sought out mercenaries in the supernatural world.

Where
Syntax: where
Where will display a list of currently occupied hotspots and the total
number of characters present in each. It will also subsequently list the
roomtitles of individual characters and the room they are in if those players
have toggled their where visibility.
Syntax: wherevis
Wherevis toggles the where visibility and where anonymity of an individual
when used in conjunction with a roomtitle. A character must also have a
roomtitle set in order to be visible on the where list. If used a second
time after it’s already enabled, it will toggle anonymity. A third time will
disable both.
Syntax: where ban list
A list of currently where banned characters will be displayed.
Syntax: where ban (character)
Syntax: where ban account (account)
Syntax: where ban (male / female)
The target’s account will be unable to see your character listed on where.
This behaves as a toggle. Where banning a target which is already on your
list will allow that account to see your character again.
Syntax: hotspot
This command will create a temporary hotspot at the character’s location.
Characters present in such a room will be totaled for and displayed with the
where command.
The where command is a fundamentally OOC tool that players can utilize to find
roleplaying partners more easily. The output has two components: hotspots and
roomtitles.
Hotspots are locations where players would normally expect to encounter other
characters such as at the Lodge or other resturant. These locations will not
display individual information about the characters present, but will total the
number of players present. Shop owners can toggle the hotspot status of any
room they control with decorate hotspot. Furthermore, any room that contains
eight or more players will automatically become a hotspot.
The roomtitles of characters can also be displayed with the where command, but
the players must opt in and have no more than two characters in the room to do
so. This allows for individuals or pairs looking for roleplay to advertise
their activity in a particular room. In order to toggle visibility, use the
wherevis command and have a roomtitle set. Where visibility is turned off when
a character moves. If an individual wishes to be visible on the where list, but
doesn’t wish to advertise their intro, they may type wherevis a second time and
it will change to either a man, a woman, or an animal as appropriate.

Example: whisper to bob Bah, what a slacker!
You whisper to bob, ‘Bah, what a slacker!‘
When used without a target the whispered words will only be heard by people
in the same place as you.

Wight
Wights are a type of undead created by attempts to bring spirits back
into the world of the corporeal. Wights are a type of undead, their heart
does not beat and they have no need of normal food or drink, but otherwise
they seem almost completely human. They can even eat and drink if they’d
like without the problems vampires tend to have.
However their bodies need to be sustained with living human flesh,
mechanically this means that wights need to use the bite command on helpless
PCs fairly regularly, inflicting one level of wound, none to mild, mild to
severe etc. Those with regenerative powers offer significantly less
sustenance.
If Wights don’t feed often enough they will start to grow more corpselike,
with some of extremities beginning to show signs of rotting and the rot
slowly working it’s way in before finally make it’s way up to the face.
Shortly afterwards if the wight continues to slip they will die, a wight
that dies cannot return as a ghost.
Surviving as a wight is quite difficult, but still is the only shot at a
second chance at life most people are going to get.

up into air rooms and move around normally.

wish
Wish
wish (text)
–Your character thinks that they want something to happen. This is similar to a prayer, although it does not have to be to any particular divinity or religious figure, or done by someone who is religious. Your text follows the word wishes, so wish for a quiet night reads as “wishes for a quiet night”.
Who hears it
–The closest person who can hear wishes, anywhere, hears the wish. If they are in the same room they hear that someone nearby made it. If not, they hear the direction it came from. Either way they are not told who made it. Characters on your own account never hear your wishes.
–Demigods can hear wishes. So can anyone wearing an item imbued with demigod blood (see help imbue).
–An AI-driven character in the room who can hear wishes hears it too, as well as the closest person above.
–Characters in the room with at least the second level of mind reading also hear the wish, and they do see who made it. A mind ward keeps your wishes from them.

wdesire (degree) (desire)
–Projects a desire and makes a wish for the same thing at once. See help wdesire.

Witch Hunters
Overview: The Witch Hunters are a loose assemblage of people dedicated to the elimination of supernatural threats. Their central leadership and history are fairly religious but today anyone who wants to go after dangerous supernaturals and black magic can be endorsed as a member and given assistance with weapons and training to do so and most of their members are those who’ve previously suffered at the hands of supernatural forces. While they target all types of dangerous supernaturals they have a strong historical enmity to black magic in particular and have a fierce rivalry with the Coven owing to a long history of grievances from both sides.
Common Allies: The Temple, The Hunters
Common Enemies: The Coven, The Black Circle, The Hand
Prefers: Humans, Religious Individuals, those seeking vengeance
Typical Tasks: Identifying, tracking and eliminating supernaturals and magical practitioners

Worlds
Haven is at the center of a soft spot between our world and others, the
known other worlds are listed below.
The Other
Also known as the realm of the Fae. This is the world from which magic
flows strongest and the one that is naturally closest to ours. It is a world
of strange forests and sweeping planes, filled with monsters, bands of
wildlings and the fabled Golden City. The Golden City is where the Fae
normally live, from a distance it is incomparably beautiful, shimmering
like a golden diamond day or night. But nobody who has ventured close to it has ever returned.
The Godrealm
This is the place where the gods reside; it is also supposedly filled with
monsters and wondrous things. No sane person would ever use gate magic to
access this place, as the Gods often do not take kindly to such things and
do not need bridges to travel to other planes themselves.
Hell
Hell used to be a world not unlike our own, but a long time ago a vicious
war broke out between two groups of powerful sorcerers, and they turned to
fleshforming to create living weapons to send to the battlefield. Creatures
with no purpose but to kill, destroy and cause suffering. As the war
progressed these creatures became more and more deadly until the sorcerers
created creatures capable of creating even better creatures. From this
point it wasn’t long before the entire world was overrun by these living
weapons, now usually called demons. Magic users from all other planes
sealed the doors between their worlds and hell, trapping them inside. But
they are always there, and always looking for a way to cross over and carry
out their only goal, to bring death, destruction and misery.
The Void
This is a place that even the forces of hell fear. The void is nothingness,
a huge black vacuum. Far from lifeless however it is home to a myriad of
mammoth Cthulian nightmares that float through the darkness and wait for
millions of years in the void, always hungry. The creatures of the void
have no known disciples on earth and nobody not entirely genocidal would
ever open a door there, the entire world could be sucked through like
opening a black hole or one of the creatures could come through and set
about devouring our universe as they did their own.
The Wilds
The Wilds is a world not unlike how ours must have been a few million years
ago, it is also the home of the wildlings, although they are often found in
the Other as well far more exist in the wilds. The Wildlings are humans
who live in the Wilds, depending on the location they vary in sophistication
from spear-wielding tribesmen to castle building kings. The Wilds is also
home to amazing earth-like creatures, both animals that exist today as well
as animals that did exist or present ones grown to a huge size. It is a
place with wolves the size of houses, mammoths and even dinosaurs.
The Elemental Planes
These are worlds that are made entirely of a particular element, this is a
water plane, a fire plane, a lightning plane and so on. Far from lifeless
however these planes are filled with creatures made entirely from those
elements, some primitive but some remarkably sophisticated and intelligent.

wound
Syntax: Wound (target) (Mild/Severe/Critical) (Message)
Used on helpless or bound targets to hurt them, you can specify a message
for the injury that will appear until the wound has healed.
People protected by Sanctuary are prevented from being severely or
critically wounded.

People protected by Sanctuary are prevented from being severely or

Wounds
There are three types of wounds in Haven, mild, severe, and critical.
When you are struck by damage that exceeds your defenses you will incur a
mild wound, the next time you will incur a severe wound, then critical, if
hit again you will die. Wounds heal whether you are online or offline, but
some only if you are in a hospital.
NPCS only have one wound state, severe. The first time damage exceeds their
defense they become severely wounded, the second time they die.
Mild wounds will heal regardless of where you are, and will take about a day
to do so.
Severe wounds will only heal in a hospital or medical center unless you have
regenerative abilities while offline, but will heal outside when online.
They will take about three and a half days to heal.
Critical wounds will only heal in a hospital or medical center unless you
are a vampire and will take about 3 hours to do so. If you do not get to a
hospital in time, or leave a hospital for too long before your critical
wounds are treated, and you’re not a vampire, you will die. You have about
1 hour to get a critically wounded person to a hospital or medical center
before they die.
Each wound when it heals downgrades to the lower version, so if you are
critically wounded after a day in the hospital you’ll be severely wounded,
after another four days in the hospital you’ll be mildly wounded, after a
further day in or out of the hospital you’ll be completely healthy again.
Vampires can’t get critically wounded, critical wounds for them are the same
as severe for other people.
Regeneration 1 will make mild wounds heal in about 45 minutes, regeneration 3 about 15 minutes.
Regeneration has no effect on critical wounds

Extended colour codes are three digits each, and are grouped in ‘blocks’
of 6 x 6. Be aware that not all terminals display extended colour codes
correctly, and that some of the ones that do not display them correctly
may display them more or less incorrectly than others as they attempt to
find the nearest approximation; if you wish to be exacting about how your
