Summoners! Non-summoners! Roleplayers alike! Come and join us on the Runebook of Legends!

What is the Runebook of Legends you ask? We're a roleplaying group on Facebook, portraying the Champions of the League of Legends, interacting with roleplayers and non-roleplayers alike. We also welcome summoners and civilians among our ranks.

How do we join?

Good question! There are three steps involved:

- Champion hopefuls must submit an application--details below. Summoners and civilians do not need to submit applications, but interactions with the Champions are at the Champions' sole discretion.
- After a small review, the applicant may be contacted to schedule an in-character interview to assess real-time roleplaying skills and to get to know the applicant. We reserve the right to deny any applicant for any reason.
- With a successful interview, the applicant will be given existing account details; or, if an account does not exist, or the admin cannot access an account, the applicant will then be asked to create a new profile.

How do we apply?

Please email runebookrpg@gmail.com with the following information:

- First and last name and/or alias
- Valid email address*
- Is English your primary language?**
- Desired Champion
- Number of status updates applicant can post on Runebook
- Previous roleplaying experience, if any
- How might the applicant proceed with this character? How might they interact with other Champions or summoners/civilians?
- A 500 (five hundred) word drabble/short story/Judgment about the character in question***

* We ask that you do not pre-emptively create an email for a champion; it is likely that an account already exists with 500+ fans and that is already added to all groups.
** We do not discriminate; in fact, a good number of Champions primarily speak languages other than English. However, please tell us if you're comfortable roleplaying in English.
*** This must be 500 (five hundred) words minimum! Your application will be denied if it falls short.

Runebook Rules

- Please remain in-character outside of the designated OOC groups. This means on your walls and in other groups. Direct messages are at the Champions' discretion.
- All Champions must have other Champions added.
- We have an activity requirement of at least one in-character post per week! It can be as short as the infamous "Ok," but it must be in-character, and it must be at least once a week. If you must go on hiatus, inform the admin beforehand!
- If you feel you cannot keep up, please inform the admin and relinquish the account. We prefer not to let the accounts go to waste, especially with Facebook's new, stricter autodetection.
- Do NOT cause grief for non-Champions!
- We are not affiliated with Riot Games and/or League of Legends, and Champions must express this in their profiles.

And now, what you've been waiting for...

Frequently Asked Questions (or, Frequently Expressed Ideas)

Eeeeeeeeeew Facebook. Didn't even know you could RP on Facebook!

You'd be surprised, actually! If there's a character limit, it's a very high one, so we're able to write full paragraphs or even short stories wall-to-wall. In addition, there's a roleplaying group for each city-state to play in.

So what do you RP then?

Anything, pretty much? We advance storylines and form relationships same as any other medium! We ask that our members keep things PG-13, in- or out-of-character. That said, the style all depends on the RPer; some just do in-character posts and be done, while others write full short stories. All we ask is at least one in-character status update a week.

Who's in charge of this joint?

That'd be Katarina, Veigar and the newly-promoted Vi. Katarina is head admin, and holds veto power, but between us we all review applications and interviews, and enforce our rules. Unless an offense is egregious enough to warrant otherwise, we generally warn offenders before banning.

Hey, what about Champions like Nocturne and Brand who are supposed to be locked up?

So, with this, I'm gonna go into a little more depth and probably answer some other questions while I'm at it.

We here at Runebook try to stay as close to the lore as possible. However, as with any RP medium, we want to develop our characters in the directions we feel they would go. We allow for this; in fact, it's a rule for the Champions to have any developments to be logical for the character, and to account for any official developments--and yes, that includes the lore rewrites we're all bemoaning. At any rate, the admin monitor these developments closely, and make sure everything still fits.

As such, it's possible that a Champion such as Nocturne or Brand could be freed, could escape, or could be allowed outside on probation and under strict supervision, all depending on the character. However, keep in mind that the only Void pup is Kog'maw. And maybe Malz' minions.

What's a drabble?

It's just writing for the sake of writing. Kind of a short story, but there isn't much of an actual plot to it. We prefer structure, of course, but anything well-written and 500+ words is welcome.

Can I apply for <insert unreleased Champion here>?

We accept applications for new Champions a week after their release on Live servers. Any applications received before then will be automatically denied.

What does the "Under Review" list entail, and can I still apply for a champion on that list?

When a character is "Under Review," it means we're considering a candidate (or candidates) for that particular champion. The application had been accepted, and is awaiting an in-character interview. As such, applications for that champion are then closed and unless the character reappears on the "Available" list, any applications received will be automatically denied.

Not much harder than an actual Facebook account.

This'll be covered in the FAQ once I get it up--but at the very least, you can RP however you want (within reason; Nocturne's not gonna be all sunshine and flowers, for instance), and with at least one in-character status update a week. If you want to just stick to lore and comment on goings-on that's up to you!

If you meant something else, lemme know. It's 4 am here so I'm a little out of it :P

... Facebook just isn't my thing.

... but out of interest, do I need to provide my real name? I'm quite uncomfortable at that prospect.
