Bataille is an RPG with a unique plot. However, the uniqueness of this plot can be very confusing to some.
The purpose of this thread is to help people understand the basics of Bataille. Hopefully you will find this useful.
If you have any questions that have not been answered in this thread, PM Paloma and it will be added to the list.
– Paloma.
F . A . Q .
Q. - What are the ranks, and what do they mean?
A. - The ranks are as follows: God, Deity, Alpha, Mortal, Devil, and Daemon. The ranks are actually rather simple to understand once you understand the lingo.
Gods are the rulers of Nirvana, or Heaven. They are named after the kindest deeds. They are all powerful and good. There are many Gods for many elements. They decide the fate of souls, anoint or demote spirits, and create prophecies.
Deities are the servants of the Gods, like angels. They are named after the good things in the world. There are, once again, many deities for many elements. They have some power over mortal wolves, but are weaker than Gods. They must be anointed by the Council in order to become a Deity.
Alphas are the respective leaders of the Packs of Elements. There is one Alpha to every pack. They are able to council with Gods, Devils, Daemons and Deities, but are not immortal. However, they are still more powerful than normal wolves and some have powers that reflect the element of the pack they lead.
Mortals are the normal wolves. They have no supernatural powers and very rarely see Gods, Devils, Daemons or Deities.
Devils are the rulers of Sheol, or Hell. There are seven Devils, named after the Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Pride, Sloth, and Wrath). They are the enemies of the Gods and rival for the beliefs of mortals and Alphas.
Daemons are the servants of the Devils. They are named after the horrid things in the world. They rival Deities and often are sent on errands to destroy Deities or tempt mortals and Alphas.
Q. - How does one become a God, Devil, Daemon or Deity?
A. - In order to become of any Supernatural rank you must be an active member of the site. For Gods and Devils you are required to have been a member for a month or longer, unless otherwise stated by the Admin, Paloma. For Deities and Daemons you must have been a member for a week or longer unless otherwise stated by the Admin.
Q. - How does one become an Alpha?
A. - Alpha ranking is at a first-come, first-served basis. If there is an Alpha rank open, you may apply to be one in the "Mantle" section of your character's application form.
Q. - Why was my God/Devil/Daemon/Deity/Alpha status taken away?
A. - You can get your status returned to "mortal" if you do not log in for longer than 2 weeks without posting of your absence in the "Away" board or you break one or more rules repeatedly.
Q. - How does one become a Staff member?
A. - The Admin will choose the staff members. If you wish to become a coder or contest planner send a PM to Paloma and she will consider you for that status.
Q. - Does the name "Bataille" mean anything?
A. - Actually, it does. It means "battle" in French.
Q. - Do you guys choose a MotM [member of the month]? If so, how to you choose them?
A. - Of course! MotMs are chosen for their activeness on the site, their manners towards others, and their RPing skills.
