Signature Verbs

Custom Swears

Fully custom swears must follow specific guidelines due to how the swear system functions. They cannot use his/her. The verb must remain the same for all messaging (1st, 3rd, and targeted 1st/2nd/3rd). The substance of the swear must remain the same.

One example of how to format a custom swear:

1st person: glower
3rd person: glowers
Targeted: glowering
Substance of swear: while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.

Examples utilizing the above:

1st person: You glower while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.
3rd person: Quilic glowers while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.
Targeted 1st: You swear at (target), glowering while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.
Targeted 2nd: Quilic swears at (you), glowering while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.
Targeted 3rd: Quilic swears at (target), glowering while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.

In the example above, the substance of the swear doesn't change in any of the messaging; it just gets slapped on after the verb. The example also does not use his/her at all. All custom swears must fall within these guidelines.

Examples of SWEAR MINE messaging include the following from options available at Rumor Woods:

Person chuffs about idiots trying to cram square pegs into round holes.

Person issues a quiet curse, insisting that some people are more useless than a ring gear load bolt.

Person raises an angry fist to the sky and rails at the waste of spilled blood.

Person expounds upon all the unflattering features that accosts the senses, ending with "... No better than a weather-bitten harpy!"

Person unflatteringly laments upon the capricious nature of the elements, the sky, and the very weather that has destroyed the mood.

Person blurts out, "Rassa frassa frazzle git."

Additional examples of pre-written custom swears can be viewed in the character customizations category.

Custom Logon and Logoff Messaging

Custom Titles (Prename and Postname)

This service will allow you to request a custom title that goes either before or after your character's name. Some things to be aware of:

1. You may not use a Custom Title to emulate another class/profession.

2. You may not use a Custom Title to imply any sort of authority (King, Mayor, Head Custodian).

3. You may not use a Custom Title to imply membership into a group (Headmaster of the Custodian's Guild).

4. You may not use a Custom Title to copy a Title that is awarded through any other in-game means.

5. Custom Titles should not be considered exclusive, as other players may request the same Title.

6. You may not reference any of the Arkati or Lesser Spirits in a Custom Title.

(Note that this is due to the potential for infringement of #2, listed above, and also potential mechanical conflicts, where a player is granted a title referencing their current deity, then the player CONVERTs and the title is no longer 'correct'.)


Please be aware that these requests in particular will be put through a series of checks, any of which may invalidate your request. Be prepared to be flexible with your request for best results!
