| QUOTE ("Our History" by Centrus) |
| 1. Our History The history of the Anima Mundi is a long one indeed. The Anima Mundi is a clan whose tale begins in the early stages of this board. A clan once existed called the Figment Raiders. They were a tight-knit group who grew closer through a shared idea: the freedom of expression and the ideal of a journey. The members of the Figment Raiders were players with animal-like modifications made to their appearance. For some this merely meant wings, while others took the idea further, making extensive changes to the player base model, in addition to the animal spirit that came with them. The FR prospered, and became a family. Through the years, circumstances gave way to the departure of their leader, and thus began a period of change. The clan was left in the hands of two members of the Figment Raiders. Though players remained from the clan, the changes that developed gave way to the adoption of a new name: Anima Mundi. The term "FRAM" caught on, somewhat accidentally, and became the sort of "go to" phrase used. Still caught up in a bit of the turmoil, a rough time emerged for the clan. Combined with outside issues, things reached a critical point, eventually ending in the departure of its leadership once more. From here, the clan fell off the face of The World for a little while. Despite a group of members remaining active, it took the effort of three former Figment Raiders to get it off the ground again. Rising from its listing as a “dead clan”, the AM emerged from its slumber, gathering support from former members, both full and honorary alike. It was around this time that the term FRAM was dropped, and the name of Anima Mundi became the legacy to uphold. Gathering speed once more, the Anima Mundi has become a new clan unto itself, breathing life into the idea of freedom of expression once more. The AM is an example of an idea that outlived the circumstances in which it was thought. |

| 2. What Are We Now The Members: - You must be able to work in a team. You don’t have to be the most open person, or a “social butterfly” whose interwoven with everyone; but you must be able to work as a team with a sense of humor and open mindedness Don’t branch off from everyone either. What’s the point of being in a clan to only ostracize yourself? - Personality. You need personality, and one genuine to ‘you‘. We want our members to be open with each other and not feel pressured to pressured to stay on everyone’s good side with a fake personality they force themselves to emulate. - Writing. This a Role Playing board that consists of…writing. So yes, you should be a decent enough writer; but it isn’t what we’re primarily looking for. The above traits are far more important than this piece. You could be the most amazing writer in the world and not make it in for being pompous and arrogant. - Speak up! We want everyone’s voice to be heard in the clan. If you have a suggestion, by all means present it. If you have anything you want to say about your life…say it. We want to be an open and as ‘close’ knit of a family we can be. So openly say anything you want and come to say hi every now and then.-cough honoraries- Animal Spirit:
As our mother Raven says: The Anima is not a mere item for showy purposes. The anima is a conscious that speaks to you through your digital mind. The anima may be a being of benevolence, a wretched character who curses your very consciousness and being. Your anima may exist in co-existence and understanding, your ‘soul psychiatrist’ and partner. Your consciousness might not be connected with that said anima, your character blinking with wolverine eyes without that animalistic voice; but all in all we all are connected. We alongside our anima strive for an ‘Eden’ amongst the world; attempting to mold that Eden. With it’s claws and fingers the Anima Mundi co-exists with this digital world to sanctify it of bias exemplified by CC Corp; to protect those subjected to that bias Purpose of the Anima: Our hacked characters are the embodiment of our inner selves; your wolf eyes, your falcon wings, your ram ears all a physical portrayal of what lies within you, your animal spirit. In the World our hacked players exist in order to visibly convey ourselves as much as possible. Hacks or not, it’s justification enough in the Anima mindset to embody our inner selves by these means; so if it takes as much as disregarding CC Corp and it’s employees to stand up for that ideology; we will. With our Lances, swords, and magical prowess, the Anima Mundi is there to protect those hacked players who suffer the discrepancies by the hand of CC Corp. Their hacks embody themselves, for the game isn’t being harmed in the least; the game is harming them; and we shall protect them from that harm. |

We may not know what the future holds, but we will get there together. We grow, as humans as well as in numbers, through time and interaction, and we invite you to join us on that journey.
