FAQ - General
What is Soul Eater?
You do not need to know Soul Eater to participate in and enjoy Soul Campaign.
Soul Eater is a dramatic retelling of historical events of Death City. It follows the story of Maka Albarn, a training scythe technician, and her weapon, Soul Eater Evans. Also included are Black*Star and Tsubaki, Death the Kid and his two very symmetrical weapons, Patti and Liz Thompson.
Soul Eater describes the events leading up to and following the release of the first Kishin, who was sealed beneath the Shibusen Technical Institute.

What are inboxes for?
Inboxes are the main form of contact with NPCs.
Every NPC journal has a personalized inbox so that you may contact the characters for both IC and OOC interactions. They can be contacted directly to request their presence in a plot. Their list of personal responsibilities is listed on the NPC profile page.
How does posting work?
Arrivals are all given a communicator that looks like THIS upon their arrival. It allows for texting, audio, and video messaging. All posts are to be made to the main community,
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
soul_campaign. An archive of the old LJ soul_campaign also exists.Following the move to Dreamwidth, the tagging system has also changed. Your character will get one tag, which will be his or her name. When you make a comment to someone else's entry you are to tag that entry with the character's name. YOU are responsible for putting your own tags on the posts, not the creator of the entry.
We also have other communities:
-
soul_logs is for third person logging. -
soul_ooc is the out of character community. -
soul_skirmish is for crack, memes, and spam.How does time work?
New days typically start on Monday and Thursday nights. These days will be elongated when needed (such as for plot events), but we’ll let you know when it happens.
The timeline of past days and events can be found here. Note that some of the links for the day changes before January 30, 2012 (irl) will link to the previous Livejournal communities. Everything after will be linked to the Dreamwidth posts and entries.
Due to the nature of the game and for plot reasons, we do not allow players to forward-date their logs. The days are controlled for plot purposes, and players may be unaware to plots designed for the game that may occur on the day they set their log. If you have something that you want to do that requires a log to be set in the future, please contact a mod and we will do our best to help you.
How do languages work?
Everyone speaks one common language. Thanks to BREW, everyone who has been taken from their world automatically speaks English, the primary language of Death City.
They retain their original language(s) as well, and can speak these with their native accents or however the player wants.
How does the Activity Check work?
Activity Check is conducted once a month. Soul Campaign tends to be strict with replying to activity checks because of the nature of the game -- it's likely that an inactive character will heavily affect the character's partner, and other related relationships.
In order to pass Activity Check, you will be required to post proof of your activity and a link to your post in the bi-monthly How’s My Driving meme.
The requirements to pass an AC are as follows:
Within the month the AC was posted you have to have any two of the following:
- an entry (with at least seven comments made by your character. Icon-only comments and chain comments do not count.)
- a log of more than five comments (three made by your character)
- a thread between TWO characters (seven comments made by your character. Icon-only comments and chain comments do not count.)
A more detailed and easy=to-read flowchart of Activity Check requirements and exemptions can be found here.
You will be responsible for posting. If you pass, you will be allowed to apply more characters. If you fail activity check twice, your character will be dropped.
I want to plot, who do I talk to?
If you would like to do a larger plot, please confirm the details with one of the moderators beforehand. This includes anything that will involve character death, mature or possibly offensive subjects, damage to Death City and its facilities, kishin eggs, missions, or serious changes in partnerships. If in doubt, contact a mod.
If you would like to do a plot that would effect the game as a whole, please go to the plot suggestions page.
What are the application guidelines?
Guidelines can be found on the application page here.
Is there a chat, and can people who are considering apping enter?
At the moment, Soul Campaign's iirc and AIM chatrooms are not being used. However, we do have the Test Drive Memes and Test Drive - OOC post available to you. Links for every application cycle can be found in the Reserves Page.
I have a concern that doesn't quite belong in the Questions and FAQ post, don't want to ask in the open. What do I do?
Please feel free to e-mail us at soulcampaign@gmail.com or IM a mod. We constantly check the email inbox, so we'll likely see your questions or concerns very quickly. However, please allow us a day or two (or three) to answer the questions, particularly if they require lengthy answers.
Can we reuse accounts that are being used in another game?
That is perfectly acceptable.
