'''[[Level |Levels]]:''' 1 - 50
One of the things people notice about Avatar is that it has a tiered
leveling system. Anyone entering the mud starts as a low mortal (or
lowmort). The lowmort tier runs from level 1 to 50, and at level 51
you become a hero.

Each tier has certain responsibilities. As a lowmort, it is your
responsibility to learn about the game and how to play your chosen
race and class. This is a time to learn the mud and to explore its
many possibilities.

As a lowmort, feel free to roam the mud and learn where to go to get
experience and become well equipped. Feel free to ask for help on
chat. Though most people won't get you equipment they may help you
find it. The thrill of lowmort is in the learning and exploration.
Take advantage of your time at this tier and experiment with different
equipment and areas.

At some point in your lowmort travels you may find you need help
with your outings (often called runs). Then you will know it's time
to group with your fellow low mortals. Groups may not be easy to come
by, but you'll find that the more you run, the more friends you'll
make, and the more groups you'll be asked into.

Just remember to enjoy your time at lowmort, and never be afraid to ask
for help or advice! Good luck and good hunting!

Titan

'''[[Level |Levels]]:''' ??? - ???
It is technically accurate to say that the Titans exemplify talent,
dedication, and power. Such an assertion, however, is akin to saying
that Bhyss is occasionally a little ungregarious.

A few impudent mortal leaders have sent armies into battle with Gods.
The Titans have led those armies, and they can claim victory over the
most mighty beings in the Realm.

Once, in the days long past that provided all the substance of today's
gossip and speculation, a Titan wished to cross a river. Dissatisfied
with the craftsmanship of the bridge, he crafted a new one from a nearby
forest. Still inimical to the crossing, he finally simply diverted the
river's flow into the ocean, in the process flooding ten villages and
ending a centuries-old tribal feud by drowning all the participants. He
then decided not to cross the river after all and continued on his
journey.

Such an immense achievement characterizes but a fraction of the Titans'
true ability. The indiscriminate use of that mastery of magic and nature
may explain why there are no Titans today.

Angel Petitions

2006-08-18T07:08:21Z

Seguethemonk:

A player with at least one character of Hero level 30 or higher may petition
a character of Hero level to become an angel. The step from hero to angel is
a serious one. It involves giving up your mortal equipment (do NOT donate or
give away your equipment as an angel candidate), and giving up actually playing
the game as that hero, in order to help your fellow players in the unique role
of an angel. Read [[:CATEGORY:Angels | Angel]] for a basic outline of the class.

Those interested only in becoming an Immortal should not petition for Angel.
Angel is completely separate from Acolyte, and is not a path to power.

The Angels are a class of individuals who have chosen to
sacrifice all mortal possessions and their former ways of life, and have
dedicated themselves to helping their fellow players. Angels try to remain
accessible and friendly to mortals, and will help when they can, but please
remember that they are not your personal slaves, and they do have the whole
mud to watch over. Angel aid also differs from the direct material aid
often associated with the hero class. Angels have given up fighting and
getting equipment; instead they try to help with advice and guidance, as
well as with CRs and emergency situations. Thus, the role of the
Angel class is that of a teacher/mentor to the mud, using personal
experience with the game to help guide fellow players to become better
mudders.

The Angels assist the Immortals in making Avatar a good place to play.
Angels cannot prevent mortals from encountering affliction and danger,
but they can and will help mortals learn to cope with such occurrences.
Angels stand ready to welcome strangers to our realm and to assist even
the smallest of Avatar's citizens.

Angels abide by the code of their kind. While they will offer quick help
in true emergencies, the best assistance they offer is that of teaching
and mentoring. Angels have a special place in their hearts for mortals who
are willing to learn the ways of Avatar and work at solving their own
problems.

Once a player reaches level 850, he/she is considered an Immortal of
Avatar. Immortals are extremely important in keeping
Avatar running smoothly. They play many different roles and handle any
kind of character problems, such as equipment reimbursements, offensive
behavior, and inter-character problems. Immortals also aid in the
improvement of Avatar by suggesting or even writing new features for the
MUD. They edit, write and fix areas. Immortals occasionally run quests
and contests. Immortals are here to answer your questions to the best of
their ability or help you find someone who can answer your questions.

Immortals on Avatar do not provide "divine intervention" to mortals. DO
NOT expect an Imm to help you level, give you free equipment (and you
cannot pay for equipment either), perform corpse retrievals - except in
rare circumstances at the discretion of the Immortal, give you levels
except in cases of certain quest or contest rewards, or give you gold. It
is considered improper to ask for intervention as it might be considered
cheating which would be punishable by denial for both the Immortal and the
mortal involved.

If for some reason something unusual happens and it is necessary to
discuss it with an Immortal, please find the most junior Imm on at the
time. Reimbursements, information you have about possible causes of
crashes, or inter-character quarrels are all good examples of things that
imms expect to be asked to correct. It is important to respect the role
of an Immortal, as they work hard to improve Avatar.

Debonair

2006-08-18T06:51:06Z

Seguethemonk:

[[Category: Immortals]]

Debonair started playing Avatar in 1996 to foolishly check if it really
was more addictive than IRC, like someone he was chatting with claimed.
Debonair was the first character he made, but gave it up at level 16 and
started a warrior character, Nefar. When Nefar lorded, Debonair was helped
to hero where he decided to try to contribute to the game in the ways
possible. As an Angel, Debonair worked hard to make the players aware of
the dangers in the game, and tried to advise as much as possible.

Debonair usually handles the pfile registrating, and writing a weekly
summary of events on the mud for the immortals. He tries to bring a
friendly atmosphere wherever he goes.

The best way to reach Debonair is to note him on the private board, or, to
email at debonair@outland.org.

Snikt, Implementor, "Prolly as high as you can get". Tyrant/Owner.

"Having played Sloth and ROMII, I came to Farside when they disappeared.
A little after a year and several mudsite moves later, Avatar was created to
provide a high quality and relatively safe gaming experience with no fees,
although donations to cover equipment and operating costs are always welcome
(see help contribution)! :)"

See him for: Critical, mud-wide issues only.
Don't 'tell' him unless he talks first.
He can be reached at snikt@outland.org

Responsible for: Primarily design, but he's been known to code,
administer the system, handle operations among other things. His first
opportunity as an Immortal was used to run Quests for other players and he
was later praised for his quick ability to jail, deny, ban and otherwise
whack players or Immortals who were out of control.
