OOC: New Zorai character
Posted: Thu Nov 02, 2006 4:55 pm
Before anything else... Hello there!
I'm a newb to Ryzom but I'd say I carry with me some experience with Role Playing, from old fashioned pen & paper games like Vampire to the latests MMO'RPGs, with a still subscribed account on play.not MUD by the name of Dragon Realms... also my native language is Portuguese not English so pardon me the terribly restricted and awfully spelled, english!
I'm terribly amazed to find in Ryzom what Ive been missing in every graphical online RPG Ive been into.... the actual Role Play by the community wich seems to be more and more a rare trait. This said it's obvious the reason why I've subscribed this apparently great game and quickly joined the new born server "cho" has a zorai male character. Ran thro all the trials possible in the rangers camp and even got to forge a couple of friendships with the new born like my self.
Now Im faced with a problem.... I wish to actually build on "Shiftshade's" background and realize how little I know about the zorai them selfs... since now days i have not has much free time available as I once had, to dig thro countless pages of lore gathering bits and pieces of information, Id like to humbly request if someone could give me a general idea about this noble and deeply spiritual race... specially about the masks.
I do remember reading somewhere, us zorai have such masks genetically imbued into our bodys... what does that mean? are born with em? are they genetically passed by like scotch clan patterns? are they fused on their faces at birth in a ritualistic event? and are they truly a demonstration of a deep connection with the Kami? What if a zorai becomes heretic or disbeliever? Shouldnt the masks be removed? Or is that impossible has he's born with em?... know what I mean?
None of this seems to be answered where I did have the time to look for...
Thank you in advance for any replies.
PS: My characters obviously a male zorai by the name of "ShiftShade" and he's living in the mainland since yesterday, in "cho" server.
