- User Guide:
This has been separated into chapters to avoid mega-confusion for you guys!- Chapter 1 | Introducing Yourself!:
If you have created an account, the very first thing you should do is just introduce yourself in the Introductions/Farewells section on the home page.
Here we can keep tabs on who joins and leaves the roleplay. It is also a good place to find many people who can help you further if the manual doesn't completely answer all your questions. It is also a good place for you to find friends!
And everyone knows; THE MORE FRIENDS, THE BETTER!

- Chapter 2 | Reading the Rules and Knowing the Templates!:
The next step, if you have not done this while as a guest, is to look over the rules of the site. As more content is created for you all to enjoy, so are new rules added to the old ones, or the old ones adjusted. So keep an eye out for updates at least once a week. You can find the rules on the main page.
=====================
The next thing needed to be looked at before starting your character are the templates!
Templates are your basic guides into creating the specific topic you wish to create: Character, magic, weapon, pet, jobs. (Yes, you can create your own jobs here; a great innovation for others to enjoy your own creativity! Provided that the Staff approves of the job. )
Remember, the templates will go under maintenance as well, so check up on them frequently if you are in the process of creating something.
To begin creating your character, head over to the Registration section which can be found on the main page!
The templates can be found in their respective sections! The character template will be located in the Character Registration section at the top of the page, the magic template will be located in the Magic Registration section at the top of the page. The weapon template will be located in the Weapon Registration section at the top of the page, etc. This will hold true in the future for new content as well.
Also, if you wish to create your own Unison Raid, in the Registration section at the top of the page you can find the Unison Raid Registration thread!
- Chapter 3 | Starting Your Journey and Jobs:
Once you have created your character, you can begin roleplaying in casual threads. Casual threads are threads in which you can do whatever you like. From having a simple conversation with a fellow member of the website, to having a spar with one. The casual threads can take place in any of the locations found on the website. Such as your character's residence, any of the locations under Fiore and Lands/Seas. Casual threads do NOT require you to have completed and obtained approval of any of your creations other than your character's. Although you can spar in these threads, without an approved magic application, you cannot use magic when fighting.
To go on Jobs, you must have completed your character and magic application, otherwise you are not allowed to partake in them. Jobs give you rewards such as jewels, EXP, etc. Jobs are classified by player ranks. Every job has requirements that must be met. If they are not, then you're request for one shall be denied. More information about jobs can be found in Job Info. Also, jobs that are available can be found in Jobs.
Additionally, we have an Arena section where people can battle with theirs friends (or enemies). These battles do not NEED to be part of your character's storyline if you choose to do so. You CAN fight in the Arena without having completed your magic application and gotten it approved, but you will be limited to strictly hand-to-hand combat.
- Chapter 4 | Extra:
Near the top of the website's home page, you will find the Suggestions section. Here you can suggest anything you'd like that we can possibly add into the website. Such as a new world, an event, a stat system, etc. Above the Suggestions, you will find the Miscellaneous section. Here you can advertise another website, start your own GFX shop or even open up a discussion about Fairy Tail, for example!
At the bottom of the website's front page, you will find the Casino section. This section features a few games that would resemble, obviously, some you'd find in an actual casino. Here you can win, and lose, jewels by gambling them in the small variety of games!
Under the Casino section, you will find the Unknown Lands section. This section allows you to create your own roleplay thread that can be about anything relating or not relating to Fairy Tail. Many have used this to begin RPs such as a Harry Potter RP. Feel free to start your own RP here at any time. Also, this section does NOT require to have any type of application completed, as you can make a quick summary of your character within the thread you or someone else started.
- Chapter 5 | Slayers!:
Dragon Slayers are mages trained by the dragons about their arts of destructive and protective powers. Though there are different tiers of Dragon Slayers to exist: First generation, Second Generation, and Third Generation. Dragon Slayers are naturally weaker than God/Demon slayers.
First Generation: The First Generation Dragon Slayers are those trained by the dragon themselves. They have a broader use of this magic than Second generation and have the ability to properly evolve the magic due to them having been train by the originators of the magic.
Second Generation: The Second Generation Dragon Slayers are mages who use Lacrima infused with the magic of the dragon of their choice. Though these tend to be secondary magics, they are able to become Primary, though they are generally weaker and do not have the knowledge to fully spread their magic into the same depths as the First Generation; though the combinations of normal magic and Slayer magic can still be devastating to make up for this: as well as giving them the ability to choose a Slayer magic secondary that can cover their magic's natural weaknesses.
Third Generation: Third Generation Dragon Slayer, is one who is trained by the dragon, and obtains a lacrima of the same Dragon Slayer magic. This combination of likes sky-rockets their own natural abilities to match even those of the God and Demon Slayer abilities. Because they have full understanding of their magic, they can increase the breadth of their abilities and evolve them to heights that might not seem possible to first, second, or even mixed generations. They are considered as the Son/Daughter of said dragon, and their dragon force ability displays this perfectly; revealing more of a hybrid dragon/human over simply showing the scales. The Third Generation Dragon Slayer, is the only one of its kind to be able to willingly activate their Dragon Force, while the others must eat a special or large amount of their respective element.
Mixed Generations: A more known form as it was displayed in the anime, the Mixed Third generation is the process of obtaining a secondary Dragon Slayer magic into their system, much like Natsu eating Lightning Dragon Slayer magic and becoming the Fire-Lightning Dragon Slayer. Though this is considered to some as Third generation, we give it as its own specific class as there is a large amount of controversy towards it.
Demon and God Slayer magic: There is very little difference between these two magics. The Demon Slayer magic involves being trained by Demons, while the God Slayer is being trained by Gods. Both types are able to eat any form of their respective element, even their Dragon Slayer counterpart's, and they are each naturally stronger than the Dragon Slayers. The only real difference between these two magics; are their secondary attributes. God Slayers have a more dark based magic as they are trained to slay celestial beings, classifying their magic as unholy, while the Demon Slayers have a light based magic as they are trained to slay the infernal beings, classifying them as holy. This effects the visuals of their spells and what ultimately is stronger depending on their specified opponent.
