Our Motto
The Society of Salvation is a refuge for all those who seek a home; those who don't fit in to a "normal" society.
What Makes SoS Different?
Society of Salvation (or SoS) is a fulltime In-Character supergroup. Our focus is not to have the same everyday grinds occasionally interrupted by "rp events" but rather to create a fully immersive world, where every character has a life, a personality. It encourages creativity, urging players to develop in-character reasons for all their actions, or events that occur. Whenever possible, all chat is encouraged to be IC, and is required in all SG or in base chat. If there is no way something can be conveyed IC, we do have the global channel, "Society of Salvation" for all OOC correspondence.
SoS Policies
Our SG charter is quite simple:
- Have fun! That is the purpose of the group.
- Show respect. If your "having fun" interferes with someone else doing the same, you should perhaps consider changing your approach.
- Be helpful. SoS strives to aid others, especially other members of the Society. Team together as often as possible, promote conversations, SG events, it helps everyone get to know each other.
- Stay in character! This is where the magic is made. Give your characters a life of their own, it makes our fantasy world all the more believable. Use OOC chat sparingly. Whenever possible, stay IC.
Society Chapters
There are 4 branches of SoS. All are connected, and any SoS member is free to enter any area, however these separate chapters are in place to allow individuals of specific needs to have an area specially catered to their tastes and style. All members can choose to remain in SoS Main, or they are welcome to apply for a specific branch. Currently there are 3 sub-chapters of SoS.
- Society of Sorcery - Specializing in magic and arcane arts (any magic/paranormal type)
- Society of Steam - A research and development lab, particularly focused on steam technology (steampunk types)
- Society of Sound - Dedicated to the fun relaxing side, featuring a club and other leisure activities.
Society Departments
There is more to do in Paragon City than just fight crime! SoS has several departments, so learn about them, and find the one that seems best suited to you! (Members can be a part of any department, no matter which branch of SoS they are in.
- Department of Defense - Your basic fighting group, protecting against attackers, rescuing hostages, basically doing anything the bureaucrats at City Hall need.
- Combat Specialists - Focusing on more advanced combat tactics and maneuvers to face down against the toughest adversaries (PvP department)
- Journalism - Conducting interviews with heroes, learning the top stories, news, gossip, and reporting in a monthly Society News Online (on our website)
- Photography - Travelling the far corners of Paragon in search of the most beautiful scenery, or taking pictures at events, like costume contests. Often work with, or done simultaneously with Journalism.
- Entertainment - Handles promoting, publicity, public relations, contests, and the like. Often found at The Cape shows, helping keep a relaxed atmosphere in a stressful environment.
Other departments may be created as needed, but these are the biggest ones. Other minor positions, which are often held in addition to these include, but are not limited to:
- Base Construction
- Architect Entertainment
- Story Development
- Event Planning
