The Seeds of Atys

Atys is threatened. Slowly getting overrun by Kitin and infested by Goo while many homins are busy fighting each other for faith and greed. They are busy not working together, busy not seeing the danger, busy not learning from the past, and busy not understanding that we are all equals, no matter religion or race.

This must stop, and it must stop as soon as possible. If we do not unite in purpose, we will soon have more trouble on our hands than hominkind can handle. Why are we fighting each other, when the Kitin stand ready to invade once more, and the Goo is slowly, unstoppingly spreading, corrupting all it touches? Why are we so blind, so intolerant, so set in our ways and lives?

Too many guilds of homins have no over-arching goals. They focus on acquisition of riches and skills, but to what purpose? Some focus on killing fellow homins, be it for faith, simple greed or thrill, others focus on providing a family or circle of friends. Many do a mix of these things.

Where are the guilds that want to change Atys, want to make it a better, safer place to live in for all? The guilds who see that intolerance and blind faith only lead to pain for all of Atys? The guilds that want to live and die for higher ideals?

A few are out there, and we are one of them.

The founders of the Seeds have all met each other in the ranger camp at Silan - the rangers taught us the value of cooperation and respect between races - even between faiths. In Silan, we also learned the joys of exploration and friendship. The Seeds of Atys have emerged from this soil. We represent those who wish for hominkind to band together and fight the great dangers, growing and learning together along the way. Our goals are ambitious:

- Demonstrate that homins of different races and religions can stand together
- Study and fight both Goo and Kitin

We are a young guild spending much time training and exploring Atys in preparation for achieving our goals. For now our resources are limited, but if what we stand for resonates within you, you will be able to take part in shaping the guild - hopefully being part of something that will one day make a real difference to Atys.

Along the way, you will find friends to share joys and sorrows with, friends to help and get helped by, and friends with whom to explore and wonder.

For more information, or for meeting us face to face, you can contact any one of our current council members: Perun, Kendrus, Wheri or Dagannys.

For Atys!

((

we are a pure RP-only guild - open for those who wish to immerse themselves fully in their chars, going where the roleplay leads them. Our general rules are simple:

- always stay IC, unless using brackets (()) or [] for OOC
- generally avoid the use of OOC in public or guild channels

Experienced roleplayers will know what is implied by this, and we'll be happy to help new roleplayers settle into it. We also have our own take on ingame matters such as communication, death and respawning. What matters is not age or experience, but that you want to roleplay fully. If you do not like roleplaying or only roleplay part-time then the Seeds will not suit you.

We have a forum and our own IRC server for being social and OOC - we have a great community spirit and some of us are playing several games together. The forum (and in the future a homepage too) can be found at www.seedthecommunity.org.

(This site is not just for the Seeds of Atys, it is a place for all online roleplayers, regardless of guild. It is our hope to gather roleplayers from online MMOG's and give them a community and other RP friends to be with, making it easier for all of us to experience the RP we crave so much)

Mmm judging by your website I presume the seeds of Atys is going to be a Karavan guild?

No, the Seeds are Neutral in regards to both race and religion, as suits our description above, and based off Zora to be able to combat Goo and Kitin most effectively. Sorry if that wasn't made clear.

Neutral in regards to religion does not mean our members can't worship Jena or Ma-Duk, but it means we do not take part in the destructive Kami-Karavan conflict.

*reads the post with great interes*

It sounds like a fine group of homins *smiles* I do indeed hope to run into you on my way around Zoraï, or elsewhere. If fro a pasting greet or maybe as a joined hunt, be it a hunt for knowledge, materials or the experience from slaying animals.

((I'll add your homeforum yo my list of community sites ))

*hugs from lil me*

I think you might be referring to the tech-jargon ´data-mining´, `Tau-terminal´ etc. on the site?

Well, its there because the layout of our community site is based on elements from the sci-fi mmoRPg SEED.

Alas, SEED is no more, but we hope to keep the great RP and community spirit found in that game alive here in Ryzom. And let me just say that so far I have not been disappointed. Kudos to the great community and fine RP´ers here!

I know well what SEED was, after all i was a member of Alpha ring The name was Artorius

It's just that I always imagined seed to be a karavan ship that has crashlanded on a wrong planet and somehow stil fits into Ryzom picture Like "Jena will come soon! await her arrival!... darn she messed up with nav controls and now she's stuck on SEED with all her karavan minions "

Knowing the whole concept of seed i just can't imagine any seedlings going kami (Ooops I am kami though... well still... )

Allthough now that I think of it there was a guild that preached genetic alteration of seedlings to fit the environment outside But that was evolution and those people play here too (are karavan aswell btw)

But I salute your cause nontheless.

No. We, as a community, are more likely to do extensive research on the world of the game we're about to play and create characters more-or-less fitting in this world than to create something fitting of our idea and barely suitable for the game. So all of our characters are 100% Atyseans and we have those faithful to Ma-Duk amongst us as well as those of Jena faith. And neutrals, of course.

So this is not purely off-topic, I'll say we're not just a heavy roleplaying guild. We're extra heavy. Everything, including guild chat, whispers, respawn and guild forum is roleplayed. But if you want to join a guild that roleplays literally always, you might as well try joining us.

I'm new to the game but even I can see that this guild will probably introduce some interesting situations in the coming days. From what I've read on the forums and on the site, this game actually lives and breathes as it claims.

Hopefully if I get setup running, I'll be able to join this guild in hopes of making Atys a better place to live. And to obliterate the destructive desires of the kitin,goo and wars alike.

You're very welcome Drop one of us an ingame mail from your char when you're ready, and we'll say hello.

And sorry for not answering right away. I blame christmas and New Year..
