OOC Moderators
Our Out of Character Moderators focus on the community of Aeipathy and how to keep it happy and healthy. They are the ones that guide our newcomers through the Discord server and help to keep the right content in the right places but they are also in charge of the community fun! They handle spur-of-the-moment games, community discussions, movie nights, online game sessions and voice channel fun! Basically, anything that bonds our community together and is not specifically to do with the characters we write, these guys handle it!

The Instigator
[attr="class","brd_line"]
[attr="class","enc_staff"]
I shall be forevermore known as... the Instigator. Also known fondly as, Athene. I will be helping run the month long events that we all know & love (November's NaNoWriMo event, for example). We also host seasonal events throughout the year! If you have any ideas you would like to share for holiday events, feel free to reach out and let me know! I am open for any and all questions about Aeipathy! I love helping and guiding new souls that need assistance and, even if you are an old soul but can't find something, feel free to shoot me a DM, I am here.

The Bookkeeper
[attr="class","brd_line"]
[attr="class","enc_staff"]
Hey there. I'm Orchid, your friendly neighborhood Bookkeeper. I draw maps and handle all of our points. That means that if you need your points updated, or if your points have been allocated wrong somehow, I'm the one to talk to. I'm also always available if you have questions about the map, or even if you want to talk about maps in general. Cartography is my main hobby, after all, and I'll talk anyones ear off about it all day and night. I'm always available for any questions you might have about anything I do, so just shoot me a DM any time of the day or night.
Our In Character Moderator team handle everything to do with the world of Aeipathy! This includes our lore, our characters and the plots they have been involved in, are currently writing in and may have the chance to participate in, in the future. Think of them as the Ghosts of Roleplay Past, Present and Future. Or, if you prefer, the Moiraie Fates. Contact these members of staff if you are struggling at all with making your character work in our ancient world!
Internal Moderators
Our internal moderators look at Aeipathy as a whole and work to keep our staff team and doctrines in check. They may not be the most immediate helpers out in the community but their diligent efforts help to create the social environment we have today. They keep our staffers held to their own rules, keep our welcome mat shining with diverse opportunities and equal rights and hold everyone accountable to keeping Aeipathy a happy and fruitful place!

Call me Ivy, like the plant! And yes, I require a lot of sunlight and water to survive. I'm chatty, and can get off-topic, so don't be afraid to tell me I'm off-topic! I'm who you can come to if you have questions about anything equality-related. Do you have an idea that might make the OOC community more inclusive or friendly? Cool, ping me! I'll bring it up with everyone else and we might implement your idea. Or do you need help with figuring out how to write a disability? Ping me! That's what I'm here for. If you're trying to make your character unique, and you want to represent a disability, sexuality or another topic that falls under the wide umbrella that is diversity, let me know so I can help! If you need writing resources, help with graphics, or just someone to plot with, you may find me popping into your DMs.
While our internal moderators ensure that Aeipathy is running smoothly, our external moderators keep our reputation strong abroad. Responsible for advertising on other sites, maintaining our social media and keeping our Pinterest tidy, our external moderators are the ones to bring new blood and new life into Aeipathy!
Our external moderator team is currently empty.
Head Admin
Our Head Admin is no more important than any other staffer. That's why we place them here, at the bottom of the list. They are the creator of the site and the head honcho through whom larger matters sometimes need to go through but, in general, they are a role attempting to make themselves redundant by empowering the amazing team above to handle site and server matters.

The Creator

[attr="class","enc_staff"]
Jd, JDizzle, Jay-Whatsherface or Oi You! All of them work and all of them will gain my attention! As will disney memes, Outlander gifs and anything relating to my all time favourite movie The Princess Bride! I'm the Head Admin here at Aeipathy so, to quote Mufasa - everything the light touches is ~~my~~ our kingdom. Which also means I'm responsible if anything isn't working or broken. You can always come to me directly with any issues or queries you have - I'll take the time to likely write a long and carefully planned response. BUT, as much as I would love it otherwise, I only have the one set of hands and so have recruited the people above to help in my stead. They are epic, they are awesome and they are ready to lend a hand however possible. I know that Admins can come with a black cloud of authority and having them pop up in your DMs can be scary but please don't worry - I'm friendly, I'm honest and I just love the chat! What's most important to me is seeing newcomers fall in love with Aeipathy as I have and helping it to grow.

A Contributor is a member of our community who goes out of their way to keep expanding the world and content of the site/forum; making Aeipathy still more diverse and detailed. Please read the below information for how to become a Contributor and message our The Staff Team account if your believe you have met the criteria for becoming one.
Contributor Requirements
[attr="id","enc_awards"]— Be a "collaborator" on all appropriate boards on the Aeipathy Pinterest. — Have posted a total of 500 Pins to the Aeipathy Pinterest account. — Be a "sharer" on all of the Aeipathy Spotify playlists. — Have added a total of 100 songs to the Spotify playlists. — Have posted over 400 IC posts total on Aeipathy. — Be a $5+ Patron on our Patreon Page.
Contributor Rewards
[attr="id","enc_awards"]— The "Contributor" member award added to your profiles. — A reward bonus of 500 member points. — A permanent contributor emoji in your Nickname on our Discord server.
Patrons
We have a Patreon page for Aeipathy where you can contribute financially to the running of the site. This money does not go into the Staff Team's pocket and, instead is used for things like feature upgrades or bonus content on the site that requires membership of external sources (such as interactive mapping, premium bot features on the Discord server etc.) In contributing to this, you'll receive little bonuses for however long your Patronage lasts.
Patreon Awards
[attr="id","enc_awards"]— A shout out on Discord when you first pledge. — The "Patron" member award added to your profiles (permanently). — A patron salary every month of your patronage ($1 = 1 Member Point). — A patron emoji in your Nickname on our Discord server (please note that, due to awaited Discord updates, this emoji is currently displaying as a medal).
Writers and Readers
Showing off our top contributors and staffers etc. is awesome. We love to be able to say thank you to the people who give their time and/or money to making Aeipathy great. However, our site would also not be what it is if it wasn't for our community!
At Aeipathy, we support the creative process. You can check out our Doctrines and Principles if you would like more information on this. As part of this respect for creativity in all its forms, we have both the roles of Writer and Reader in our community. A Writer is a participant of the community who is actively playing a character on site. A Reader is someone who is not. Neither is more significant than the other as both contribute to our plotting, games and fun! Members can shift from Writers to Readers if they do not have the time to post consistently for a time (thereby never leaving our community entirely). And a Reader can morph into a Writer if they decide to be a part of the active fun! There's no judgment or issue with being either or.
Thank You!
The staff of Aeipathy would like to take this opportunity to extend our warmest and sincerest thank yous to all those who continue to make Aeipathy an amazing place to be. This site is not for individuals, cliques or groups. It is for a universal social experience that supports and encourages new, wouldbe, avid, enthusiastic, professional or otherwise just damn awesome writers and creators.
Thank you to you all!

Cartography is my main hobby, after all, and I'll talk anyones ear off about it all day and night. I'm always available for any questions you might have about anything I do, so just shoot me a DM any time of the day or night.
Our In Character Moderator team handle everything to do with the world of Aeipathy! This includes our lore, our characters and the plots they have been involved in, are currently writing in and may have the chance to participate in, in the future. Think of them as the Ghosts of Roleplay Past, Present and Future. Or, if you prefer, the Moiraie Fates. Contact these members of staff if you are struggling at all with making your character work in our ancient world!
Internal Moderators
Our internal moderators look at Aeipathy as a whole and work to keep our staff team and doctrines in check. They may not be the most immediate helpers out in the community but their diligent efforts help to create the social environment we have today. They keep our staffers held to their own rules, keep our welcome mat shining with diverse opportunities and equal rights and hold everyone accountable to keeping Aeipathy a happy and fruitful place!

Call me Ivy, like the plant! And yes, I require a lot of sunlight and water to survive. I'm chatty, and can get off-topic, so don't be afraid to tell me I'm off-topic! I'm who you can come to if you have questions about anything equality-related. Do you have an idea that might make the OOC community more inclusive or friendly? Cool, ping me! I'll bring it up with everyone else and we might implement your idea. Or do you need help with figuring out how to write a disability? Ping me! That's what I'm here for. If you're trying to make your character unique, and you want to represent a disability, sexuality or another topic that falls under the wide umbrella that is diversity, let me know so I can help! If you need writing resources, help with graphics, or just someone to plot with, you may find me popping into your DMs.
While our internal moderators ensure that Aeipathy is running smoothly, our external moderators keep our reputation strong abroad. Responsible for advertising on other sites, maintaining our social media and keeping our Pinterest tidy, our external moderators are the ones to bring new blood and new life into Aeipathy!
Our external moderator team is currently empty.
Head Admin
Our Head Admin is no more important than any other staffer. That's why we place them here, at the bottom of the list. They are the creator of the site and the head honcho through whom larger matters sometimes need to go through but, in general, they are a role attempting to make themselves redundant by empowering the amazing team above to handle site and server matters.

Jd, JDizzle, Jay-Whatsherface or Oi You! All of them work and all of them will gain my attention! As will disney memes, Outlander gifs and anything relating to my all time favourite movie The Princess Bride! I'm the Head Admin here at Aeipathy so, to quote Mufasa - everything the light touches is ~~my~~ our kingdom. Which also means I'm responsible if anything isn't working or broken. You can always come to me directly with any issues or queries you have - I'll take the time to likely write a long and carefully planned response. BUT, as much as I would love it otherwise, I only have the one set of hands and so have recruited the people above to help in my stead. They are epic, they are awesome and they are ready to lend a hand however possible. I know that Admins can come with a black cloud of authority and having them pop up in your DMs can be scary but please don't worry - I'm friendly, I'm honest and I just love the chat! What's most important to me is seeing newcomers fall in love with Aeipathy as I have and helping it to grow.

A Contributor is a member of our community who goes out of their way to keep expanding the world and content of the site/forum; making Aeipathy still more diverse and detailed. Please read the below information for how to become a Contributor and message our The Staff Team account if your believe you have met the criteria for becoming one.
Contributor Requirements
[attr="id","enc_awards"]— Be a "collaborator" on all appropriate boards on the Aeipathy Pinterest. — Have posted a total of 500 Pins to the Aeipathy Pinterest account. — Be a "sharer" on all of the Aeipathy Spotify playlists. — Have added a total of 100 songs to the Spotify playlists. — Have posted over 400 IC posts total on Aeipathy. — Be a $5+ Patron on our Patreon Page.

[attr="id","enc_awards"]— The "Contributor" member award added to your profiles. — A reward bonus of 500 member points. — A permanent contributor emoji in your Nickname on our Discord server.
Patrons
We have a Patreon page for Aeipathy where you can contribute financially to the running of the site. This money does not go into the Staff Team's pocket and, instead is used for things like feature upgrades or bonus content on the site that requires membership of external sources (such as interactive mapping, premium bot features on the Discord server etc.) In contributing to this, you'll receive little bonuses for however long your Patronage lasts.
Patreon Awards
[attr="id","enc_awards"]— A shout out on Discord when you first pledge. — The "Patron" member award added to your profiles (permanently). — A patron salary every month of your patronage ($1 = 1 Member Point). — A patron emoji in your Nickname on our Discord server (please note that, due to awaited Discord updates, this emoji is currently displaying as a medal).
Writers and Readers
Showing off our top contributors and staffers etc. is awesome. We love to be able to say thank you to the people who give their time and/or money to making Aeipathy great. However, our site would also not be what it is if it wasn't for our community!
At Aeipathy, we support the creative process. You can check out our Doctrines and Principles if you would like more information on this. As part of this respect for creativity in all its forms, we have both the roles of Writer and Reader in our community. A Writer is a participant of the community who is actively playing a character on site. A Reader is someone who is not. Neither is more significant than the other as both contribute to our plotting, games and fun! Members can shift from Writers to Readers if they do not have the time to post consistently for a time (thereby never leaving our community entirely). And a Reader can morph into a Writer if they decide to be a part of the active fun! There's no judgment or issue with being either or.
Thank You!
The staff of Aeipathy would like to take this opportunity to extend our warmest and sincerest thank yous to all those who continue to make Aeipathy an amazing place to be. This site is not for individuals, cliques or groups. It is for a universal social experience that supports and encourages new, wouldbe, avid, enthusiastic, professional or otherwise just damn awesome writers and creators.
