WELCOME TO LUMOS MAXIMAS
Hello and welcome! We are very happy that you have stumbled across our website. Lumos Maximas is an online RP (role playing) ran in the message board style. This can be a little different than your regular RP as the reply might not be instant. Because of that, Lumos Maximas offers several other activities for you to get involved in. More on that later, for now lets get into some more basics that you'll need to know to be successful here at Lumos Maximas.
Lumos Maximas was founded April 4, 2014. The co-owners of the site have both been involved in the Hogwarts fan world since the launch of the first book. We both have devoured books, watched the movies, bought and played almost every Harry Potter game, and immersed ourselves in the world completely as often as we can. With so many different online Harry Potter experiences out there in this world there is always something for someone. Everything is unique and has their own way of doing things. We are no different. We both have found quite a lot of things we loved, and a lot of things we didn't like so much in each of our fan-sites and RP sites that we were involved in. We found that most of the sites and games one can play dead end after a certain amount of time, or character progression. This frustrated us to no end. WE WANTED MORE! More Hogwarts, more magic, and more fun! After much thought, talking and a few sleepless nights, Lumos Maximas was born. A brand new, interactive, RP experience for you to enjoy!
Working on the site has been a pleasure and we both have really enjoyed the journey. Now we are ready for you to experience the same pleasure we have from building Lumos Maximas in your own adventures here. But what is RP you might be asking. Role Playing (RP) is a way to immerse yourself into another reality even if only for a few moments a day. You create a character, or use a pre-generated one, and "RP" out their actions, thoughts, choices, and events in their life with other people doing the same with their characters. In a way you really do get to become the character. There are two ways of typing during an RP game. IC (in character) and OOC ( out of character) and IC post looks like this:
She walked down the empty hallway slowly, head hung low, feet shuffling along an aimless path. The fight she had just had with her friend weighing heavy on her mind.
and OOC post looks like this:
(OOC) I have to go now but I will be back online in an hour.
Notice that in the OOC post it is specified that it is OOC. This is to let the other people in the game know that YOU are talking, not your character.
Easy enough to understand right? Wonderful. Now if you would like to continue on to the next thread in the board, we can cover our rules here at Lumo Maxima!
