About Us | Krene

Welcome to Krene Forums!

We are a multi-genre role-playing forum where people from all walks of life gather together for collaborative storytelling. Krene Forums provides their members the ability to openly express themselves through the characters they portray in a nonjudgmental environment.

Krene Forums has Elder Scrolls role-playing from any game within the series, Dragon Age role-playing, Lord of the Rings role-playing, as well as our own unique world written by the staff of the community under a Sci-Fi/Fantasy theme.

Not only is Krene Forums for role-playing, but we are also a fast growing and updating community with many friendly faces and smiles to share. We are trying to create a place where our members can kick back, relax, and find themselves getting lost within the words of their very dreams.

KRENE BASIC GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW:

1. For Krene roleplaying, there are specific board categories depending on the type of story you plan to write you need to follow. For "Open Role-plays," stories that allow a multitude of members to join at any time they please, they must be within the "Open Role-Plays" board. For "Private Role-plays," in which your story has a select amount of members based on recruitment, please keep them within the "Private Role-plays" board. As for the Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, and Lord of the Rings Role-plays, we have separate boards and OOC boards for those stories as well. When defining the difference between an open, private, or mature story in the other categories beyond Krene Role-plays, please indicate the difference within the title spot as you create the thread. If you need help moving topics to the appropriate category, speak to a staff member so that can be arranged. (See number 11 regarding mature role-plays)

2. Please, be respectful of your fellow roleplayers. You will be interacting with people of different ages, opinions, and beliefs. Avoid potentially hurtful or derogatory comments - remember, every character is being played by another person. This includes scripting of another players character. No-one appreciates having their character manipulated in a way that he/she does not like.

3. Each active story may have its own set of rules for players to follow, and these are left up to the story creators. Please be fair and reasonable in these expectations. If you feel as though a creator has proposed inappropriate rules, please inform the a staff member. The rules made for each specific private/open/mature role-play must abide by the formal set of rules for the site overall. If they do not meet these requirements, a staff member will intervene.

4. Please, try to remain active in your chosen stories. It is easier, and more fun for the group if all those involved are as active as possible. However, we all understand that people have regular lives to attend to and that's perfectly fine. If you feel you may be absent for an extended period of time, please let your fellow players know, so they can make accommodations for your character. If you disappear from the site for prolonged periods of time without letting anyone know of your status, or updating your status in your profile, then the other players within your story have the right to move beyond you and exclude you from future progress. If you have any problems with this, speak with a staff member.

5. In character threads are not allowed to have out of character comments. Each active story should have its own "OOC" thread specifically for participants to carry out story discussions, make changes, or settle conflicts. Please keep OOC threads WITHIN THE OOC BOARD SPECIFICALLY. OOC is not allowed whatsoever in the formal rp sections.

6. If a conflict cannot be settled peacefully between players within a story, please avoid rash actions. The moderators would be happy to help intervene, and mediate in any situation that is needed. Remember this is supposed to be fun also you should remember just because another players character has a rivalry with yours doesn't mean they don't like you!

7. Try to create fun, interesting, and exciting posts. Keep good grammar in mind, and stick to proper role-play post formatting. If your post doesn't enrich the experience of the entire group, rethink it. Roleplayers of all skill levels will be playing here, so please refrain from being overly critical of someone's writing abilities - we are all here to learn, play and have fun. If you need any help with ideas, or proofreading, contact anyone of around the forums. Most are friendly faces, and would love to help encourage building your roleplaying skill.

8. Swearing is censored on this site, and as needed be the list of swears will be updated over time. However, this does not mean that due to having a profane word censored allows you the openness to use it. During stories, those that are not indicated "Mature" should limit the use of swearing, overly exaggerated violence, as well as sexual themes. The moderators will watch for stories to be of taste and quality, and we expect you to be able to use your common sense to know the difference between what is appropriate and what isn't. Swearing is not polite, and many people don't appreciate it because it makes you look bad yourself. Think about what you say before you say it and there will be no problems.

9. This website is primarily a role-playing based forums. If you would like to talk off topic from the general story, keep your off topic posts OUT OF THE OOC BOARD, AND OUT OF ANY OF THE REGULAR ROLEPLAYING CATEGORIES. There is a board made for general conversation, and so that is where it should be maintained. You also have the option of the shout box and PM for such as well.

10) Do not be rude, and others will not be rude to you. Treat others with respect, and the same will be granted to you. If you cannot do this, it is most definitely assured that you will be dealt with. Drama of any form WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

11) According to "Proboards terms of service," all mature role-plays cannot reach over PG13. This will be enforced, and those that cannot apply with this need to either leave the site, not register, and understand that because of going above this maturity level you are endangering the entire website's ability to exist overall. Proboards has the right to take down a website that refuses to comply with this rule. If you have any issues with this, contact a staff member, or read the official terms of service: www.proboards.com/tos

What is Krene?
Krene is the compilation of creative ideas from several different brilliant thinkers compiled together to form the ultimate Sci-Fi/Fantasy role-playing realm. It is a world of our own, with inspired themes from the greats of the literary world around us, as well as our own unique ideas to create a flavorful twist. Krene stretches from a vast environment of primitive Forest Elves and Centaurs in a constant civil war with their Lycan neighbors to a fully developed and further advanced nation of military-focused human race, a magically superior demonic race, and so much more. Krene is what we make it, is ever growing, and the base for epic stories in futures to come.

What kind of fantasy do you write here?
The thing about Krene is that there is no specific genre. If we were to categorize ourselves, we would definitely stick between "Sci-Fi and general Fantasy," however, like said before it is what we make it. In Krene, the writer's imagination is the limit. Members from around the site, beyond just the staff, are constantly forming unique ideas to add to the Krene Lore on a daily basis. Krene is not just for the original writers, but for everyone. Krene is something that started out as a base world from a few minds formed together, but daily is growing into something that shapes even more brilliantly as others join with us and share their imaginations.

What is the storyline like?
The idea that "Krene is what we make it" still applies here as well. In the Lore section of Krene History, there is plenty of creative pieces for the members of our site to draw inspirations from. Beyond that, it is constantly becoming more complex and weaving intricacies in such a way that will satisfy minds from all over the spectrum of creativity. When forming a story with other players from the site, the member has the option to define their own interests based from inspiration of the current Krene Lore to form an epic tale of their own. The sky is the limit, as they say.

How do I start a character?
It's so simple the question defines an answer itself! The creators of the Krene Lore, as well as the role-playing, have provided a character card application that has suggestions on how to fill it out within the OOC board of the Krene role-playing section. With the specific questions the application designates for the player to fill out, this makes for a more structured basis to put the player within the lore on an interactive level. Beyond that, to ensure consistency, before applying your character card to recruiting stories, the Krene OOC board has a "Character Card Submission" thread that allows the staff, or "lore masters," to review your card for accuracy. This system helps for those trying to incorporate themselves to follow Krene Lore the ability to work with the creators of the unique world, ask questions, as well as petition new ideas into their characters to continue to expand the uniqueness of what Krene truly is.

How much do I need to know?
On first perspective, going over the Krene History board can be rather overwhelming. But, in all reality, there are many resources for you around the site to make your experience writing within the Krene system much easier than on first impression. From the character card application/submission system, we also have a board designated to asking any sort of question, a request to add to lore, or anything of the like that you can think of. In this board, the staff or other knowledgeable members of the site will answer your question so don't feel shy for a second to create a thread at any point! You are also welcome to PM any staff member on any issue regarding lore, any confusion, or anything at all times. The people of our community are warm, welcoming, and inviting. We are here to help you, and would love to build stories/characters with you at any point. One thing that the staff likes to remind newcomers to Krene is to take the reading in the History Board as relaxed as you possibly can. Pick one thread every couple of days, or at your easiest convenience, and read it in a time that really interests you. Don't hesitate to jump in by any means because once you get the hang of it you will get hooked and not want to stop!
