FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Welcome to Keys to the Kingdom! We are happy to have you here and are ready to start your adventure on this site. For preparation, you should go through this Frequently Asked Questions section and head over to The Guide board for all the basic information about the site (i.e. as the rules, the clans, and the plot). Once you have things figured out, you may proceed with making your first character. If you have doubts or require assistance with the timeline, you may contact NEITH.
Before you start making your character, please check the Face Claim thread. Once you have reserved the face you wish to use for your character, you may proceed with the application. Here's the tricky part: there are two parts to the application. Please be careful with it, all right? Post the application in the in progress board, and when you finish your application, please post a link to your application in the notification thread. Finally, if there are any problem with the template, please contact BAST for help!
On the other hand, you can say hello to other members in the greetings section, and if you are lucky, Bast might offer you cookies!

Do you have any suggestions as to where I should upload my music for the mini-profile's player and my images?
We recommend you upload your song to Kiwi (kiwi6.com/). As for images, you can try photobucket, imgur, or any other online image sharing websites.
SITE INFO
What is a Strain? Are there restrictions on creating them?A Strain is an individual who displays superhuman abilities without the assistance of a King. However, their powers will be amplified by their admittance into a Clan. And yes, there are restrictions on creating Strains. Due to the variety associated with Strains, we will restrict Strains to a handful of abilities and will expect suitable pros and cons with each listed capability, but we will not deny anyone the right to create a Strain. You cannot, however, create a Strain that resembles an animal—though shape shifting into one will be approved—as Strains of animal origin are viewed as the "monsters" of Raduga. Moreover, there can only be one strain per person.
What is Aura? Can Civilians utilize it?
Aura is a special energy—like magic—that the Clansmen can utilize, and the differing colored Auras grant the individuals varying abilities. The strongest Aura manipulators would be the King of each Clan, which alludes to the harsher requirements associated with creating a King. However, as Aura resides in the Clansmen, civilians cannot utilize the energy and are basically defenseless against the monster Strains that roam outside of the major cities and in unexplored areas of the world.
Can my character wield more than one Aura?
On Keys to the Kingdom, we will not be allowing characters to join with more than one Clan, so no, they cannot wield two or more Auras. We understand that it might be tempting to betray one Clan for another; however, for the moment, we would prefer to keep each character with one Aura type.
Do I have to be affiliated to a Clan?
No, you do not have to be affiliated to a Clan, for you can be a civilian, meaning without powers but surviving in Raduga.
What happened to the Silver and Colorless Clans? Can I join either?
The Silver and Colorless Clans still exist, and they have merely fallen out of history, descending into obscurity and leading existences outside of the established cities. At the moment, we plan to accept a limited number of characters into these two Clans.
If you're accepting a limited number, how many are you actually accepting in each?
We are willing to accept SIX members for each clan, excluding the King. Please remember that this number only applies to the Colorless and Silver Clans.
GAMEPLAY ASSISTANCE
Can I use the K Project characters as a FC?Since this is an alternate universe roleplay site, you may; however, we will not accept any character that is too close to the original design of the specified FC.
Can I make a new Clan or territory?
No, you cannot create a new Clan, for there are only SEVEN Clans. However, you may suggest a new territory for the staff to create. The world has not been completely explored, and Bast and Neith are always willing to listen to suggestions.
Can I play a King?
Yes, anyone may play as a King; however, please realize that Bast and Neith will require more detailed applications and reserve the right to strip an individual of their position if they begin to abuse the power. Kings are not infallible, and we will not have them monopolizing the site.
Can I play a female King?
Technically, you may. We have no restrictions on the gender of the Kings on the site; however, please keep in mind the time period. We are set in is the medieval age, which means that women are still viewed as inferior. A female King would not hold much power over the citizens or with her fellow Kings, but if you're willing to work under those conditions, we have no problems accepting a female King.
As you've mentioned a time period, what time period is the site set in?
We claim to be set in the medieval time period as the site was influenced heavily by that time frame's technology; however, as an original universe and fantasy based site, we mainly utilize the time period as a frame of mind for the societal mentality of the Radugans and the basis for the available technology.
How do I join a Clan?
To join a Clan, the character must gain the acceptance of the King, who grants the individual the ability to manipulate that Clan’s Aura. Each King will accept people based upon different characteristics and will create varying methods of organizing their members. However, for the purposes of Keys to the Kingdom, you may join a Clan of your choice by detailing the events that result in your character’s admittance in their history. Please note that characters gain their capabilities through contact with the King.
How do missions work?
The various Clansmen can accept a mission from their King, from a higher ranking Clansman, or from the civilians, and these missions can range from locating a lost pet to subduing a group of monster Strains that threaten to attack a village or traveling merchant. Characters may accept missions as they are posted and will receive monetary rewards and the praise of their employer for their efforts. Please refer to the mission log board for more detailed information.
