So you think you want to Roleplay a Nomad?
Introduction:
Welcome youngling. So you've landed here to learn more about Nomad Roleplay, namely the K'Hara style of it.
This guide will get you through one of the oldest and most original forms of Nomad Roleplay, where we still base our Roleplay from, dating back to when Keepers existed.
Though the Roleplay has been made more relaxed over time, to avoid confusion for other players, of who we're interacting with, but the main base of it, has been pretty much the same throughout the years.
This guide is kept brief to encourage you to take initiative to look for more in-depth information and understanding, because this faction is with very high RP standards.
What are Nomads?
In short...
Nomads are silicon based lifeforms with psionic abilities.
Created by the ancient race The Daam K'Vosh, they have existed in Sirius way before any human settlement in Sirius.
They are guided by hive mind, of which they all are part of.
Newborn Nomads have weaker connection though, but they all are part of it and share everything, they know no individual or singular form of Nomads, and if they see one, they see one as broken, or one with a disability.
Encountering a K'Hara, what are those flashy three stars?
(***..RP SPEECH HERE..***)
These three stars represent Telepathic communication. Nomads have psionic abilities and communicate by invading your mind via telepathy.
Nomads can also induce hallucinations , project different emotions and generally manipulate with it's prey.
They tend to be mostly aggressive in nature, but if Nomad sees fit, they can be quite neutral as well, depending on the situations, whether the collective can make use of the individual or not.
Powergaming
We don't do it. The Nomad Roleplay is an art form of not going over forbidden boundaries.
So get creative.
The Roleplay.
First of all as we made the Roleplaying style more relaxed over the years, we encourage you to go out there and find your own unique way of relaying your thoughts to others.
But to help you be in line with our Roleplay in the way we do it, then here's some tips & tricks to base your Roleplay off from.
We speak mostly in synonyms, a slightly broken form of English, with a great vocabulary.
Nomads are known to have a "Slang" of sorts, where Nomads nature being completely different from humans, we perceive certain things differently, such as we know no singular terms, by being part of the collective Hive Mind.
To make things more understandable within the speech, keep your emitted speech in order, by organizing your emotions between the ( ) , visions between { } , nouns between ' ' , and emphasis between - -.
Try more to describe things you perceive as a Nomad using synonyms and our small dictionary, rather than describing them out directly.
Here's a small "Dictionary" of sorts to get you started...Get creative to find your own interpretations, we encourage you to!
