NoR (WOTA) Race And Class Overview

The WOTA Handbook is used by NoR. The races/classes/skills/mechanics are determined by this handbook.

In NoR, we are free-form RP and do not have any restrictions on the back-story that you choose for your race, as long as your IC character and OOC actions are in accordance with the NoR Rules. This means we won't demand that your Vampire (Noctural) abide by any set definition. If you choose to be a Vampire that runs around during the day, and only feeds on Cabbage, opposed to developing a compelling backstory - enjoy! Factions are groups of players with a common story and set of behavior. In order to join a faction in NoR, you agree to abide by their rules. So a group of Angelique may be totally non-violent, while others may attempt to violently enforce their vision.

Take your time and read over the races, and feel free to join our NoR Groups and ask for further assistance or request a Mentor from the NoR Community Center to aid you in your decision.

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you in NoR!

Angelique (Angel)
Most of what is know of the Angels come from religious legend of the various cultures of humanity. No one belief has been proved right or wrong fully. However, in their own right, their beliefs are thus: They are portrayed as powerful and dreadful, endowed with wisdom and with knowledge of all earthly events, correct in their judgment, holy, but not infallible: they strive against each other, and God has to make peace between them. While the war may rage on between Demons and Angels... they still hold onto many of these attributes.

As known Myth, these are cat-like hybrids... feline traits are noted and much is still to be found out.
