Theimperium Wiki



Welcome to the Theimperium Wiki
This is the wiki set up in conjunction with The Imperium forum and the upcoming Imperium comic. Things are still in their earliest stages and we require further initial growth to establish the setting. The Imperium itself is a community project where all writers collaborate to create this rich, vibrant, story Role-play environment from its deepest roots. Aspects to the world or story that any single writer has laid down has the potential to become an integral part of The Imperium canon that all members may utilise and may even feature in the accompanying comic.

As we are in our earliest stages of a reboot everything is up in the air for moulding into what you'd like. Even the name of the very world our story takes part upon is wide open for any writer to produce a great name as none exists. We are currently in 'Prologue' mode, meaning that the story world is a little more restricted on setting but wide open for founding thoughts, ideas and plotlines.

For those wondering about the previous version of The Imperium - unfortunately all data on the previous forum and wiki was completely lost. Therefore we are in complete reboot mode. This means you are welcome to redesign your original characters in a rebooted form or create entirely new characters from scratch. You cannot use previous versions of the character as it would become too confusing for everyone, especially new writers, involved. If you have more questions on this please see the list below or contact the administrator.



The Imperium is currently in "Prologue Mode" --  http://s13.zetaboards.com/imperium_prologue/index/ . You are able to take part and shape the history of The Imperium and its new beginnings.

Notes on Some Idea for the Upcoming Forum
This section is for general information on possible ideas for the new and upcoming forum yet to be created.




 * Moderators  will be known as "Guides". Guides not only help 'moderate' the forum but also actively help guide other writers with suggestions about better integration into the forum and helping other writers become a part of the community. I would prefer to have a minimal number of large-scale setting for example. So instead of writing a whole new world for everyone's characters, many characters are capable of being set in existing worlds including "The Plane" which is varied mish-mash of all manner of worlds and species. This is designed to make our RP world much richer and a richer experience for writing and being a part of a greater whole.




 * While it's fine to have characters that have emerged from  other forums, those forums' world considered other worlds within the Multiverse, forums that have ties to former characters of the old story cannot be used as it would bring confusion and discontinuity to the new reboot of The Imperium. If an alternate forum's world has no ties to the former site that can be noticed upon itself then that forum may enter the wiki as an alternate world and be referenced and linked to. This leaves out forums such as The Napping Cat's Dream and the Gaming Guardians, much to my own disappointment.


 * Artwork  is definitely on the cards and may even be commissioned before the website is up and running again. I will speak with artists involved come early March and characters involved in The Imperium from the beginning may be granted early artwork.


 * " Achievements " may also be awarded. They would be small tokens to commemorate some achievement that a writer has earned. Not all of these Achievements would be available to everybody and thus it is not encouraged to "collect 'em all", however they are awards for promising and positive activity on the forum. Some may be for quantity of posts, example being "You have posted 10 times" - Achievement. Or for quality, example "You have made 10 highly praised posts" - Achievement. Other Achievements are more exclusive, such as taking part in major stories or having tenure from older days and thus will not be awarded to everybody. Thus these Achievements are meant to encourage participation and better writing, as well as to show newer writers what the older writers are capable of.


 * The  wiki  is to be less of a chore and more of an aide to the story. Particularly for "NPCs", or Background Characters as they should rightfully now be known, only information known is needed on their article. In this respect some articles may be highly sparse due to lack of information. It is highly recommended, however, that main characters be given as much information as possible to better utilise them, however information may be learnt by writers over time as they write for their characters more and more.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">
 * <span data-mce-style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%; line-height: 1.5;" style="font-family:Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;font-size:20px;line-height:1.5;">Background Characters  may now also be considered "Open", "Private" or "Conditional" for use and wiki entering. Open would suggest a character can be both written for on the forum and the wiki, allowing writers to now collaborate on characters. Private means a Background Character can only be used by their owner and cannot have extra information added to their wiki articles, nor written into stories on the forum. Conditional means that another writer may write a character onto the forum, or add information to their wiki, under certain conditions stipulated by the characters' designer; as an example - A character may be conditionally edited, and that condition being only his/her history can be expanded upon.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">
 * Accompanying  <span data-mce-style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%; line-height: 1.5;" style="font-family:Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;font-size:20px;line-height:1.5;">comic . I may consider, depending upon the artists, to create an accompanying comic for the forum's story. This comic would be directly effected by events within the forum story and vice-versa. This also means that Writers' characters may feature in the comic itself, along with possible influences over the comic story. I would prefer for them to work in tandem, rather than separately. This would, however, mean Writers that want to influence the comic would need to sign a disclaimer, allowing myself and the website to use the character in the comic and whatever other works that tie-in -- plus it would include a disclaimer allowing any future, however very unlikely, proceeds to go straight to funding the website.


 * Just to also mention, we have lost the "licence" to use the  <span data-mce-style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%; line-height: 1.5;" style="font-family:Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;font-size:20px;line-height:1.5;">Schola Draíochta  and so it won't, regrettably, be seeing a reboot on our forum. That doesn't mean that an alternate school setting can't be made, but it cannot be the Schola that we once knew. You will be able to continue using artwork previously provided for you, assuming it still fits your character, as the artwork and character are copyrighted to you. However you must place credit to the relevant artist (who is most probably Laura M. Ducker).
