===Custom Depart=== |
|||
Olvin says, "What I can do is teach you how to {{tt|depart}} with more flair, to make a truly dramatic exit." |
|||
The messaging must make sense regardless of room type (indoors or outdoors), time of day, lighting, or weather conditions. |
|||
Olvin says, "Cutting right to the chase, I see! I can teach you the basics of how to depart with flair for 2,000 plats. At this price point, I cannot guarantee that no one will figure out how to copy your style."<br> |
|||
Olvin says, "For 5,000 plats, I can put the word out with the acting guild not to coach others to copy your exact style." |
|||
The messaging cannot imply the involvement of gods, other people, or creatures. (Any references to creatures must clearly indicate that they are illusory.) |
|||
Olvin says, "If you have already learned 10 custom departs from the undertaker, you'll need to forget one before you can learn one from me." |
|||
Minor magical effects are permitted. |
|||
* 2,000 platinum = custom depart message, and you'll be the first to have it, but we cannot guarantee exclusivity. |
|||
* 5,000 platinum = custom depart message, and we won't offer that EXACT SAME messaging to another player. But we can't guarantee that someone will never have anything similar. |
|||
Olvin cannot guarantee that your messaging will be exclusive to you forever or that no player will ever have similar messaging. |
|||
Messages can be no longer than 500 characters, including spacing and punctuation. |

Olvin can send a runner to any bank. |

===Custom Arrival (Login/Logout)=== |
|||
* Olvin exclaims, "What am I doing in three days? Coaching you on how to make a dramatic entrance and exit (though not as dramatic as death)!" |
|||
===Spell Preps=== |
|||
* Olvin says, "Today I'll be coaching up to ten of you to make a more dramatic entrance and exit. The fee is 5,000 plats." |
|||
* Olvin says, "Please note that while I'm an influential Olvi, I can't literally summon the gods or mythical beings to attend you." |

{{:Alteration/Spell_prep}} |

* OOC: This entails four sets of messaging: what other players in the same room as you see when you log in or log out (max 150 characters) and what shows up in the Arrivals window (max 90 characters). |
|||
* You ask Olvin, "Does the length need to account for your name too, so if you have a fairly long name, you'd want less...er...flair?" |

* Olvin says to you, "No." |

Rules
The messaging must make sense regardless of room type (indoors or outdoors), time of day, lighting, or weather conditions.
The messaging cannot imply the involvement of gods, other people, or creatures. (Any references to creatures must clearly indicate that they are illusory.)
Minor magical effects are permitted.
Olvin cannot guarantee that your messaging will be exclusive to you forever or that no player will ever have similar messaging.
Olvin can send a runner to any bank.
Spell Preps
PREPARE /LIST shows your available spell preps. PREPARE /DEFAULT toggles the display of your guild’s default prep. PREPARE /SHIFT cycles through custom options.
When designing your custom spell prep, you can choose between an alternate spell prep and a silent prep. (You must have the relevant magical feats to use a custom spell prep.)
General Rules
Messaging has a maximum length of 200 characters (including punctuation and spacing). Existing preps average 100 characters.
The messaging must make sense regardless of what room you are in (indoors/outdoors, time of day, lighting conditions, weather, etc.).
The messaging cannot imply the involvement of the gods, other people, or creatures. (Any references to creatures must clearly indicate that they are illusory.)
The messaging can include minor magical effects.
Alternate Preps
For an alternate prep, include the following messaging:
- what you see
- what the room sees when you are not hidden
- what the room sees when you are hidden (usually shorter and less detailed)
Silent Preps
Silent preps must be discreet — actions you could realistically conceal from others. Lights, loud noises, or conspicuous movement are not suitable for silent preps.
For a silent prep, include the following messaging:
- what you see
- what the room sees when you are not hidden
Appearance
You see Flair Master Olvin Loudwater, Acting Coach of Arthe Dale, a Halfling Bard.
Olvin has a jovial face with unruly eyebrows, slightly pointed ears, twinkling ale-brown eyes, a bulbous nose and dimples. His golden brown hair is short and curly, and is worn in a deliberately careless mass of locks. He has rosy skin and a stout build.
He is tiny even for a Halfling.
He appears to be middle-aged.
He is wearing a rustic smokewood walking stick, an unbuttoned jacket of wine-hued velvet, a green songsilk waistcoat with golden buttons, a creamy linen shirt with an open collar, a pair of stylish brown knickerbockers and a leather backpack embossed with a golden tree.
