Qrace/restrings

[BobcatFan]

I have always wondered this but do you rp both of these out from day 1, even if you are not the race you say. You can have a lvl 1 restring, but for a qrace, is it taboo if you pretend you are already that character you hope to become?

[Anume]

If you are not an undead / demon yet you should not look like one. Some restrings can be rped from day one, for example the "fur ball" we had, would be odd if he had talked normally at the start.

Yes, I always act as though I'm restrung already. Number one, it adds more realism to your character, and let's you get used to that roleplay instead of 'switching' once you get your restring, and two, it helps get that restring in the first place. If someone want a ogre-orc restring and they just acted like mr joe schmogre, why would they get restrung to orc?

When you get restring, effectively you're fixing the 'mistake' of being labeled something else.

Like when I had that furball, I didn't get 'transformed' into one from feral. I was the furball, and the feral tag was inaccurate. See what I mean?

Gonna have to figure out a new way to get to 30 without breaking rp then...

Im just having a hard time figuring out how to make the 1-30 rp make sense. The good idea (in my opinion) starts after the qrace.

Well, with a race restring, if I made a character and it was a Troll (ogre restring), that character -is- a Troll. You've simply been 'labelled' an Ogre like Twinblades said, and your application is there to be correctly labelled a Troll.

With an Undead qrace, you are not already Undead. You're a human, that is 'transformed' into Undead upon having your application approved and completing the quest.

Qrace Example:

BobcatFan: I'm just your typical human. I like walks on the beach, fruity cocktails and am looking for a suitable Aeries. I do have a bit of a dark streak though - I like to kick small puppies and I pour boiling water into ant nests. Make me Undead?

Anume: Nasty **** - I'm totally going to make you into one of my horde.

Anume magically transforms BobcatFan into one of the Undead horde.

BobcatFan: Mmmm... brains.

Restring example:

BobcatFan: 'Sup dawg, I'm a Svirfneblin, but these guys just think I'm a normal Gnome.

Malchaeius: roffle waffles, tell me a bit about yourself

BobcatFan: I live in a big pit 344400 feet underground.

Malchaeius changes BobcatFan's race to Svirfneblin!

Well said. Except the "sup dawg". Shame on you for that. *wags finger*

With Fistilantus I acted the robot from day 1.

Even with my description and restring, people would still call me a fire giant

throughout his entire life, right up until the day he deleted.

It is also possible to get restrung after you reach 50 as well. Vylan got made a Shade due to his turning into a living shadow RP.

But it's alot more seldom that happens. Valganti decided to make Dzrilx's day by offering him everything a shaman could want in existing as a cloud of disease. That was not even inspired by me.

Exceptions to every rule of course, but more often than not restrings seem to be for people who want to choose race X as their base race but be recognised as race Y because the MUD won't let them start off as race Y as opposed to actually being race X and then becoming race Y later on in life.

Not saying that is how it has to be, just how most people use the restring system.
