Gaia Reborn
Gaia Reborn, the hottest MMORPG of the last decade, has seen millions of players experience its unique world - a combination of fantasy and reality. When Gaia Reborn was a game, one goal was to make the game world a one-half scale model of the real world. This pursuit was known as the Half-Gaia Project, and it is one of the aspects which led to Gaia Reborn becoming such a popular virtual world. With regional servers having unique areas, quests, cities, and monsters, it wasn't uncommon for people to create alternate characters on other servers to experience what felt like an entirely new game.
Ten years after the game's launch, millions of players have joined and created countless characters across the many servers. Now, with the release of the latest expansion, Pioneers of Arcadia, many are getting ready to begin new adventures in the new Italian server, exploring the new region corresponding to Italy, known in Gaia as Italia. Characters would have to start from fresh in this new world, but Italy would finally get its own piece of this world.
Countless players created their characters, logged in with excitement fueling their hands as the cursor swept across the screen, and then... darkness... Everything was black, and as their eyes opened, the players found themselves in the streets of an unfamiliar city. Looking around to survey their surroundings, many players realized this city was not so new after all. While desolate and ruined, the architecture conquered by vines and greenery, this city was unmistakably Rome, but at the same time, it was not. Finding themselves in the bodies of their characters, trapped in the world of Gaia Reborn, players are left to adapt to their new reality in this fantasy world.
Olivia woke up on the Cold floor with her face planted on cold inn flooring ''Ah Crap did i fall out of Bed?''Olivia got out of bed and got dressed (I don't know if she sleeps nude of not..some details are better left unknown) She went down stairs to the inns kitchen and sneakly made a full english breakfast Eggs, Bacon, hash browns,sausages, and some saled. She fried all of them in one pan to perfection she then quickly cut some bread up and toasted them under the fire for a couple of seconds to get them nice and crispy ''Perfect!'' Olivia sat down back into her inn room and ate it within a couple of minutes. She then thought what was gonna be her plan for today? '' I guess i could go out and get more cookie stuff? naaaa I need a break from cookie production..mmmm maybe i should Have a look around town for some yummy cakes or new ale to drink!' Olivia got some water from the bar man and walked out of the inn the weather was overcast and it looked like it was going to rain, Olivia looked around at all the shops but none of them really took her fancy.
After walking along the road the market stalls began to stop being less croweded and she noticed a little stall selling masks she walked over and wonderd why sell masks like this and not food? she had seen clothing stores but she was in the part were they mostly sold food '' Hello i was wondering why your selling mask in the foodish area of the market area?'' The stall woman turned and explained to Olivia about a Town Celebaration happing next to the inn she was staying at most nights and masks will be used to celebrate the festivities '' That sounds like fun!'' Olivia then felt a small pull on her jacket, it was a 2 children asking if they could get a mask ''Ofcourse what masks did you kids want?'' Olivia smiled and got them 2 masks they ran away smileing and waving at Olivia ''Ok let me see mmmm I think i will get the one with the kitty ears and wiskers!'' Olivia handed the woman the money and asked what time the party will be ''it will be just before the sunsets! I hope to see you thier young lady!'' Olivia smiled and ran away for some reason ?
Some time passed and Olivia made cookies for the party and asked the Owner of the Inn if she could lay them out on a small table for people to eat, he agreed and let her,Olivia then sat down and wiped the sweat of her forehead and got an ale she then notcied everyone was putting on thier masks so she did the same and joined them outside as she was walking she noticed her masks eye hiles were like pricks..(they were so small she could see a tiny bit of the world) she walked to the door and didnt notice the step and fell on her face in front of alot of players and masked people at the party..(Oh my)

The sun was already setting when Paulette rejoined the city. She hadn’t seen the time pass today and hadn't eaten anything since sunrise. Now she was hurrying to go to the market in hope to find something good to make her dinner. In this evening many clouds obscured the sky and the young player was afraid to take some rain. At the end of the day, market stalls were often empty or already closed. But today there were a lot of people still gathered around the place and in front of an inn “It is unusual, did something happen ?” asked herself Paulette while getting closer.
Before she could walk any further, a lady called for her “Miss please ! Yes, Alven lady, I am talking to you ! You can’t go to the party without a mask dear.”
-The party ?
-Tonight we have a celebration in honor of the great weather. It is a traditional festival in our city, you mustn't be from here if you haven't heard of it.
Paulette looked at the overcast sky “Great weather ?”
-No I haven’t
-Then you are welcome, mighty adventurer ! Please let me choose your mask for you, I have just what you need !
“Mighty adventurer ?!” This time Paulette looked at her cheap clothes stained by her day work “is she laughing at me ?”
-There, it fits perfectly the color of your eyes !
The stall woman handed a purple festive mask in the shape of a butterfly to the young Alv. Paulette tied it around her head and thanked her seller before walking further away in the market.
The dark clouds were highlighted by the last rays of the day, down the street the atmosphere was joyful as plenty of happy people occupied the market place. Paulette followed the crowd until the nerve center of the party. She was hungry, her stomach was gurgling but she had good hopes to find some party appetizers somewhere.
The most crowded location was an inn decorated for the occasion with colorful pennants. Paulette went inside : there was festive music played by a band and a table filled with cookies. The purple haired girl took one and bite into it with eagerness, it was delicious ! She ate it all, at this time, the band and everyone went outside.
Before following their lead Paulette grabbed another cookie to eat outside. She was about to eat it when a girl in front of her fell on the floor. She was in the middle of the way and probably got caught up in something, everyone looked at her
-Are you okay ?! asked Paulette while a man wearing a crying face mask helped the girl to stand up.
*Ah CRAP making a fool of myself again...* Olivia looked down at the floor blushing and wishing she was somewhere else but then...she heard a voice of Goddess? She looked up and saw a Butterfly mask with Shining godlike purple hair and a voice of a Angel! Olivia took the hand of a guy Wearing an odd Mask ''Thank you sir !'' Hello Goddess Nice too meet you! Thank you allmighty one for asking If im ok! I'am fine! now that i have seen you!''Olivia said this outloud in a britsh accent for some reason ? she then saw that the lady had one of her cookies in her hand she lit up with flare and began asking questions! ''How do they taste....are they good ?....is the flavor bad?....how would you rate it out of 10?!?!?!?!....'' Olivia spoke faster than light could travel...as she spoke Everyone in the inn started to go outside to go see somthing? Olivias mask started to crack and half of the mask fell on the floor while she was speaking....

The girl stands up and immediately turns over to Paulette, she is wearing a cute cat shaped mask giving her two sets of furry ears as she belongs to the faunri race.
While Paulette was still concerned about what just happened, the cat girl seemed to have completely forgotten. “Goddess”, “almighty one”,”I’m fine now that I have seen you” were the words she used to address Paulette. The purple haired girl gave a look behind her “Me ? What is wrong with people tonight ? First the stall woman, then this cat girl are calling me by names I don’t even deserve. I know adventurers must look intimidating for the gaians but there is a huge gap between what they believe and reality” That was her thought but actually, she had a doubt about her new interlocutor’s origins. The fox girl in cat disguise talked in an accent that didn’t belong to gaians but Paulette couldn’t really remember where it could come from.
No time to think, the cute girl was already onto a new subject of conversation. She had noticed the cookie in her hand and was asking plenty of questions about it. “She must be the cook” thought Paulette because of the last question.
The girl was getting excited, speaking almost too fast to the young Alv to understand. In her haste, her mask broke in half and a part fell on the floor. Revealing her pretty face.
-Oh no, you mask is broken
Paulette picked up the piece from the ground
-Let me offer you a new one, I know just a place where we can find another pretty as the one you wore
She took the girl by the hand and walked toward the stall lady from earlier. She realized a little too late she had taken the girl’s hand without her permission. Somehow the rapidity of their exchange put Paulette in tension and she reacted without really thinking. She looked over her shoulder to see if she was bothering the blue haired girl and tried to arrange the situation
-10 out of 10 ! The cookies taste wonderful ! She said with a big smile
When she had finished her sentence, a few drops crashed on the paving.
Olivia saw her mask split in the middle....half fall on the ground...she watched it fall in slow motion and hit the ground into small little shards.. Then the goddess grabbed her hand and told her she could find her a new one Olivia lit up with excitment ''Omg really? thank you sorry your seeing my ugly face its not pretty at all...thats what my mother told me and some little kid in the market eralier...little shit.'' then suddenly the goddess then led her out of the door to show her were the masks were.
They walked a little way to the stalls and Olivia was in all amazement that a goddess was holding her fiflthy mortals hand then the wonderful woman turned back and said her cookies tasted 10/10! Olivia stopped gasped ''R-R-R-rreallyrrrr-really?!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!! '' Olivia let out a litttle tear and then she wiped her face and couninted walking to the stall for a new mask! Olivia then dag out of her bag a pouch with pink icying on she mad erailier ''Here these are coconut flavored cookies with some strawberry icying on top!'' Olivia handed the cookies Paulette.
( I wonder what mask would be good to replace my old one mmm)

Suddenly, Paulette stopped in the middle of the street and turned back to Olivia
-WHAT ?! She looked irritated. Don't say something like that ! At least, don’t believe what you hear ! Beauty resides in everyone !
As a big sister, she already heard that kind of sentence is the mouth of her little brother and she hated it. Such insults are complicated to erase from a child's mind, especially if this is her mother who told her so. “What kind of mom says that to her child ??” wondered Paulette, outraged.
She kneels before the small faunri and looked her in the eyes
-Masks aren’t made for hiding your face but for playing a role. Tonight is a party and…
As she was talking, her belly started growling. “Ah, not the best timing, I guess two cookies, even the best, can’t fill my stomach..” “Ah sorry”She got up and walked to the party entrance.
To her surprise, the fox girl handed her a new pastry out of her bag. It looked as delicious as the cookies, the purple haired girl accepted it gladly.
-Thank you so much, I haven’t eaten since this morning.
For the first time since the apocalypse, she tasted coconut flavor. It was light but still added its taste to the cookie.
-It’s so good, I haven’t had coconut since forever ! I am surprised, how did you provide yourself with coconut powder ?
As she was enjoying the little cook’s present, they arrived in front of the stand where she got her butterfly mask but the stall lady was already packed up. She acknowledged the two girls from earlier but apologized because her merch had been sold out.
In this late hour, merchants became rare. Paulette only discovered two last masks shops in front of one of each other. The one on the left had a sign saying “Pax tibi” and was selling some very colorful and shining traditional Venice masks, while the one on the right had a banner saying “Hic, requiescet corpus tuum” and was selling cute skull shaped masks with paintings that glows in the dark.
-Well, I’m sorry but I don’t think we will find something else elsewhere, which one would you like ?
Pauline walked along side Olivia looking for mask along the street to join the rest of the town in the party But... Every stall seemed to be sold out..''dam guess my ugly mug will be out for a little longer at this party'' Olivia was upset she wanted to hide her face till the end of the party and revile it like a surpise. Olivia then looked up a saw Pauline nealing down on the floor saying very nice stuff to her, *Tear wiping* ''I really glad you enjoyed my cocount cookies! I worked on them for weeks rebaking and testing the flavors to find the perfect flavor of coconut! and the icy makes them even nicer! gives em the extra kick of sweetness!''' '' and the coconut flavoring i got was from the Inn owner had stored in his Inn storage so i brought the coconuts he had for a really good price!, I Was really happy to find that he had them as i had been looking for coconut flavoring or just coconuts around here!''
They came to some stalls with some masks what seem spooky and the other stall hate some nice Venice masks, Pauline asked what stall Olivia wanted to choose from as they seemed like the only ones left selling them''mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm let me think ...ah yes! i think ill get one of the Venice masks!'' Oliva rushed over to the Venice masks and said hello loudly as she was happy Pauline liked her cookies!''HELLO STALL LADY MAY I HAVE ONE OF YOUR MASKS!'' (Olivia shouted out of exitment but regertted dearly after she did so for the 9000th time)''ooo crap Didnt mean to shout'' Olivia blushed and looked down with a sad smug look as she was still happy about finding masks.
Olivia then turned to Pauline...she completly forgot about the stall lady ...leaving her staring at her for a long time with a karen look.''I never asked your name! My name is Olivia! Im Druid and i Love baking cookies! i also love new adventures!''

Acknowledging how meticulous the girl had selected the condiments and worked over the recipe, Paulette got touched. Her commitment to cook well was impressive and so the result was undeniably delicious.
Also, having the opportunity to eat something that reminded her of the former world was rare. During her stay in this strange new world she got the opportunity to taste various new foods like Ciminian fruits or weird vegetables at Tivoli. But the reverse was not true: the occasions to taste what she was used to back in the real world were, if not few, non-existent.
Those thoughts let the young girl to be sure that her new friend was also from the former world. Sometimes she had doubts about people, as it was uneasy to discern both, but the coconut enthusiast must be from the same place as her.
The cute little fox girl then went to the masks shop to their left and chose the prettiest Venise mask. Maybe her attitude surprised the stall lady but Paulette found it cute. Again, her little friend acted like her little brother many years back.
Memories from her past life revived before her eyes : she was younger and holding hands of her little brother, he was only five or so, they were walking in the middle of a crowded street. The small boy was intimidated and followed her everywhere but he suddenly saw a Hook-a-duck fairground stall. Hyped by the popular game he forgot his fears and rushed to the stall and shouted at the merchant for a turn. Many things were similar to the present day, the town celebration, crowded streets, and the reckless innocence of her partner.
“I wonder how old is she ? It must be very difficult to adapt to this new world all by herself at such a young age ? But maybe she had a harsh life before too, she said her mother told her awful things…” The Alv looked at her little friend with a puzzled look, her brain started to make unpleasant suggestions “Maybe the reason she is there is because playing video games was a way for her to escape reality, but I see so much resemblances between her and my little brother, would that mean he was willing to escape reality too ?? Were we a bad family to him ??!”
The purple haired girl chased away her bad thoughts before it could infect her mind further. The evening was great and the young cat girl looked in a happy mood. Paulette smiled at her
-This mask suits you well, you are shining !
The little girl turned to her and introduced herself. She was a druid, thus an adventurer and so a inhabitant of the former world as she imagined it.
Olivia had a cookie in her mouth while Paulette was introducing herself...the crums went down all her starting gear ...She ate the cookie with haste '' Omg your an adventurer too thats sooo COOOOL!'' Olivias eyes gleamed with amazement , Olivia noticed some stalls were doing stall games like shoot the target win a prize and small other ones, ''Would you like too try one of the game stalls?'' Olivia asked in a very childish way ''I wanna crack a shot at some heads''(evil grin).
Olivia noticed somthing wried while in the street outside the inn...strange looking masked men looking at the children with an evil snare too them ..she thought nothing of it a few seconds later and grabbed another cookie out of pouch..''DAAAAM its my last cookie'' Olivia let out a massive UgHHHH...She then looked at how much gold she had left and sighed in relief as she had more money to make more cookies!, Olivia started to feel dizzy and started to walk funny all dazed? ''did i eat somthing funny? why i am dizzy she thought to herself...

Paulette gladly accepted to go for a shooting game with Olivia. The evening was getting better even if the weather and the amount of natural light deteriorated. The warm atmosphere made by people around them led the young woman to enjoy the party. She still had the taste of coconut in her mouth and smiled at Olivia when crossing the street toward the stall game.
The purple haired Alv reached the showman first and asked for tokens but when turning around to give hers to Olivia, the fox girl looked suddenly extinguished. She was walking slowly and a little skewed.
-Olivia ! Are you all right ?!
She rushed over her little friend when a shadow passed before her. The crying face mask man from earlier was there again.
Olivia fell to knees and started coughing she looked at health bar and it was going down slowly ''What the hell?!'' She took her mask off and noticed purple powder on the mouth area of the mask..''oh thats why...Its looks like some sort of poison oo-ooo-.'' Olivia reached for her pocket and drank some water ''uuuh thats sort of better! still feel dizzy , I'm ok paulette'' Olivia looked into Paulette's eyes and fell to the ground smiling then fainting, she had pools of sweat on her face and
Before fainting she saw a glimse of a crying mask he lifted the mask and she saw a grin from the shadowed person... Olivia rolled around a bit coughing and weezing for air..

In the indifference of the crowd, the little girl took off her mask and fell on her knees on the pavement.
-I’m ok Paulette said she, with a smile before fainting.
For the second time in the evening, the fox girl fell in front of Paulette. She stretched out her arms to catch Olivia before she hit the ground.
In her arms, the little girl was feathery and completely inert.
-Olivia ! What’s happening ?!
“Something’s wrong !” She thought while straightening up holding her friend in her arms. She looked around but received no help nor clues “If only I could call an ambulance”. The people next to them were enjoying the party celebration, not giving any care about the two adventurer’s fate. They were only a crowd without a face, a tide of masks and sequins. Among all those parade outfits passed a theatrale crying face she already saw this evening.
It was the man who helped Olivia to get up on her feet on the inn doorstep. In need of help, Paulette tried to rely on him a second time
-Mister, please !...
But the silhouette melted in the crowd.
The young Alv decided to go back to said inn, where she could put Olivia to bed and ask for some medicine “If only I had learned some potions skills, what’s the use of a pharmacist without a cure ?!”
She grabbed Olivia’s pretty Venise mask on the floor “What’s that ? Purple sparkling ? Powder ?? It certainly isn’t coconut !”
At this moment, the heavy raindrops transformed into a sudden and torrential rain. The crowd welcomed the water with cheers and applause. On the opposite, the purple haired girl ran across the party to go back to the inn.
The inside was left alone and dry, all the people gathered for the great weather celebration went outside, food was still warm on the plates and only the owner stayed inside to keep an eye on his and his customer’s properties.
Paulette opened the door in haste. She appeared in the frame as completely soaked and worried, carrying a fox girl child in her arms.
The inn keeper saw the soaked paulette carrying the fox girl in her arms he rushed over to her ''Oh dear we should get her upstairs into a bed!'' the inn keeper helped Paulette and Olivia upstairs opening doors to the room the inn keeper pointed out where to lay Olivia '' lay her on that bed and ill go get some of my healing herbs'' the inn keeper rushed out of the room , Olivia opened her eyes but her vison was very blurry ''oh my did i faint i feel awful...'' she turned and saw a blurry Paulette '' aww man i can't see your godley aura'' the inn keeper came rushing back with some herbs ''drink this it should ward off the posion for the time being'' Olivia drank the herby fluid and her vison started to clear '' ah yes thats alot better thank you inn keeps! ... something has me worried... what if the masks the people are wearing right now outside have poison in them too! inn keeps do you have anymore of that herb!?'' The inn keeper shook his head with diiapointment '' i do not that was my last lot!'' Olivia thought to herself for a second and turned to Paulette '' I think the people wearing the posioned masks will be effected very soon we must find the person who did this and find more of this herb the inn keeper healed me with!'' Olivia actul used her tiny brain ...smort fox

Thankfully, the inn keeper immediately understood the situation and helped the adventurer to carry Olivia upstairs.
-Merci ! Merci ! Cried Paulette, forgetting even to the language she was using.
The young Alv had already an attachment toward the small foxy girl and was really bad at managing stress. She experienced many emotions during the day and had countless questions blurrily floating in her mind “What’s happening ? How can I heal Olivia ? Can coconut be an allergique substance to some? Why did people flee and didn’t help ? Is it bad if she breaks her mask again ? What is that purple powder ? Did the stall lady knew what would happen ??...”
Once put in a bed, the little faunri faintly opened her eyes “I feel awful…” Paulette wiped her eyes and answered with a soothing voice as she used to do when her little brother was sick at home
-Hush, it’s okay ! You will be alright
The good man came back, almost running in the room, with a tiny metallic box in one hand, and a kettle in the other. To the purple haired adventurer it looked similar to a pretty tea box, out of which he chose an herb, put it in a glass, filled it with hot water and gave it to the sick fox girl without hesitation.
-drink this, it should ward off the poison for the time being
Paulette blenched “Poison ?!” Fortunately, Olivia felt immediately a little better and naturally answered to the inn keeper. She too was speaking about poison in such an ingenuous tone that the young Alv couldn’t doubt anymore “Yes, that suspicious purple powder is definitely dangerous !”
After her conversation with the hotelier, Olivia turned to Paulette to explain what was the plan : 1) find more medecine and 2) discover the culprit. Hopefully, the fox girl had better self-control and gumption than her.
Seeing her friend in good recovery helped the young adventurer to calm down a little. She put a hand on the fox’s shoulder:
-Olivia, please stay here for a moment, you need some rest !
Then she turned to the inn keeper “Thank you sir for all your help! Can you tell me where you got that herb that just saved my friend ?
-I brought it to a botanist that lives outside our village when he came to the market.
-Where can I find him ?!
-At the entrance of the swamp, North-east of our village. It’s more than an hour by walking
-Please, welcome to your establishment every person who’s feeling feverish, I’ll pay !
Paulette left the room in a burst after acknowledging a last time that Olivia was well.
She got out of the inn by the back door to avoid the front crowded street, whistled her horse that came at a gallop and took her to the village exit.
The heavy rain was still downpouring, Saguaro’s hooves clattered on the paved street and Paulette squinted, trying to see something through the night and water.
At full speed, she could make it way faster and after some scares on the road, she arrived at a cottage with thatch roof standing alone, next to the road.
There was a diffused light inside, glooming through dusty windows. Paulette dismounted and knocked on the door.
-Who’s there ? Asked a man’s voice
-I am looking for medicinal herbs, are you the botanist ? Please help me, the situation is serious at the village party !
The door opened and a man with a messy black bun and glasses invited the adventurer to come in
-Why so ? They must be rejoicing, the weather is great tonight ! He said with a ironical touch
The young Alv didn’t lose time and handed him Olivia’s mask with the purple powder on it.
-I am sorry to disturb you at this hour, but my friend got sick after wearing this party mask we brought. I came to ask you the same herb you sold to the inn keeper and that saved my friend tonight. Do you still have it ?? Asked Paulette out of breath.
The botanist didn’t look at the powder for long before throwing the mask on the ground
-yuck !!
-What is it ?! Please tell me if she will be okay ??!
The man went to his fireplace and picked a poker then proceeded to dump the mask in the flames.
-This is powdered nectar from a demihuman plant that grows deep down in the worst parts of the ciminian forest called Alraune of Cages. Trust me, even the bravest adventurers avoid crossing their path. It is not so rare though to find some of its venomous pollen, many are the fools that try to gather some because of its damages. The only cure is one of its drops. See, the Alraune is sadistic and can make in its breasts its antidote. The only way to get the cure is to defeat the plant, that’s why the antidote is even rarer than the poison. Ah, I see your frightened look, but don’t worry, you won't have to risk your life tonight, I have some Rusted Durian -the antidote- here. But I’m asking for a lot, you will understand.
Paulette would have liked the relaxed attitude of this man if they had met in other conditions, but she was in a big hurry and didn’t liked how he was beating around the bush
-Half the village may have worn those poisoned masks, can the antidote be served in a broth ? How much are you asking exactly ?
The botanist smiled and stopped his stories, he understood her roughness
-Yes it can be put in hot water to be drunk, no need to be a good pharmacist to do that, he smiled. 50 gold to fill a cauldron.
-Done !
The purple haired adventurer searched the amount in her traveling bag, poured it on his table, grabbed the tiny metallic box he handed her and left the house.
-Thank you very much, mister botanist !
- I must add..! Said the man with a strong voice when Paulette opened the door …that the prices increased because of the demand, Miss. It actually is the second time this week that someone came to me and asked for this specific cure. I said earlier that unscrupulous people often try to gather Alraune nectar but rarely succeed. Two men needed some Rusted Durian for one of their friends only five days ago.
“Part two of the plan : discover the culprit”
-What did they look like ?
-Usuals citizens I guess he shrugged …but two of them had a Zaria eye.
Seeing the botanist had done everything he could, the young Alv left
-Thanks and good bye.
Outside, her black stallion was almost invisible in the night, they were equally soaked to the bones but they didn’t hesitate one second and galloped as fast as possible back to the village.
Once there, the party seemed to be over. There were still many people gathered under marquees and tents but half of them seemed to be hungover. Paulette reached the inn
-Hi inn keeper ! I got the medecine ! Olivia and the others need to drink it soon ! Can you prepare a pot of hot water ?!
Speaking colour: ff8f00 , thought colour: 92541 Botanist colour: 1ebd00 Total words : 1225
''Thank you Young Lady for going out to get the cure! Let me rush up stairs to give to Olivia!'' The inn keeper rushed up to Olivia and gave it to her slowly, The inn keeper rushed down the stairs again to give the rushed out Paulette a drink of water '' Here you go Young lady have this water for your efforts!'' Olivia rose up from her the inn bed Dizzy but also feeling 1000x better ''Oh boy that was interesting!'' Olivia then dashed out of bed to run down the inn stairs she rushed into the the doorway where she saw Pauline and the inn keeper sitting down at a table , Olivia rushed over to Pauline Hugging her ''OMG THANK U SO MUCH FOR SAVING ME YOUR THE BEST GODDESS EVER!'' Olivia teared up she was thankful to her new friend.
Olivia then let go and smiled ''Thank you so much for getting this cure its going to help alot!'' Olivia Turned to the inn keeper ''Inn-keepr guy lets get a cure cookin!!!!'' the inn keeper look puzzled by this new nickname ''Inn-keeper guy?!... and ofcourse ill get it going please gather the people with masks to takes this!''.
Olivia Sat down and let the adrenaline rush pass, then she began crying ''Im sorry Paulette for making you worry about me...'' (tears)(tears)

Welcome to the help dialog for the Custom Mini-Profile Creator plugin!
Click on any of the tabs above to go through the plugin configuration process!
You can access this menu at any time by clicking on the icon in the bottom right bar (may not be applicable if you're on Forums.net), or you can disable the welcome window and/or the icon by going to Plugins > Manage > Custom Mini-Profile Creator and changing the Show Help option.
This step is essential as it gives the plugin everything it needs on the page to get as much profile information as possible.
To make the profile variables work you'll need to add a new line to the very end of Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile and paste the code below on it. The code should be placed completely outside of the mini-profile, so if you're using the default mini-profile template this will be after the very last closing </div> tag. This needs to be done on every theme you have the plugin enabled on as the template is theme-specific.
If your mini-profile template is already customized and you've hit the variable limit for your template you're free to remove any lines from the code below if they contain information that you don't plan on using. For example, if you have no plans to ever add a user's IP to their mini-profile for staff reference you can remove <div class="mp-info ip">$[user.ip]</div> from the code and everything else will still work just fine.
Once you've added the HTML from the Layout Templates tab you're ready to move on to building your mini-profiles. If you want to get going and try some out now or you're not very adept at HTML, CSS, or Javascript, worry not! This plugin includes some examples for you to try out. You're free to skip to the Custom Profile Fields tab and read over this tab later when you're ready to build your own.
Here's a quick rundown of each of the components in Plugins > Manage > Custom Mini-Profile Creator:
Name This is the name you'll be adding to your custom profile field dropdown once you've finished coding the mini-profile. Pretty self-explanatory. Make sure this name is unique from every other name you use for your mini-profiles or you'll end up overwriting the earlier ones in the list.
HTML This is the HTML that will go inside your mini-profile. You can use just about any HTML tag here so long as it's appropriate for where the mini-profile is showing on the page. Please refrain from using <style> or <script> tags here. You have the next two sections for that! Also, remember that mini-profiles can show multiple times on the same page, so you shouldn't add ID attributes to any of your elements here. Two elements on the same page cannot have the same ID per HTML standards.
CSS This is where you'll place what would normally go in your forum's style sheet or what would normally be between <style> tags. Try to code your mini-profile's HTML in a way that will allow you to target it specifically with your selectors. For example, you can surround all of the content in your HTML with a <div> element with a class and target that class and its child elements specifically with your CSS. That way you don't accidentally target every mini-profile on the page with CSS that was meant for the one you're building. One more thing: The forum theme's CSS still applies beforehand, so your mini-profile may look right in one theme but not in another. The best way to circumvent this is to define as many styles as you can to override the theme's CSS.
Javascript Anything that normally goes between <script> tags will go here. This one's a bit tricky since you'll obviously want to target the custom mini-profile specifically. Luckily there's an easy way to do that. In your statements you can use the $(this) variable to target the mini-profile if you're coding using jQuery. Otherwise, if you only plan on using standard Javascript you can target $(this)[0] instead.
Once you've finished building your mini-profiles it's finally time to add them to the Edit Profile page for use! To enable selection of custom mini-profiles you'll first need to add two specific custom profile fields in Members > Custom Profile Fields in your forum's admin area:
Mini-Profile Theme
Staff Mini-Profile Theme
Mini-Profile Theme is for mini-profiles that are designed for member use. You can set the Who Can Edit option for this field to Staff With Power if you only want staff to be able to choose mini-profiles for users. Otherwise, if you want members to freely be able to choose their own mini-profiles you can choose Members and Staff With Power.
Staff Mini-Profile Theme is for mini-profiles designed specifically for staff use. This field is completely optional.
Set the type for both of these fields as Drop Down Selection. Click on the (View/Edit) link to add mini-profile names to each of these fields.
If you've just installed this plugin you should have three different mini-profiles already installed by default: Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3. You can add these to your dropdowns to test them out and see the plugin in action.
If you're having trouble getting this plugin to work despite following the instructions in the previous tabs you may want to check that each of your themes meets the prerequisites below in Themes > Layout Templates > Mini-Profile.
First, ensure that opening tag of your mini-profile template includes the $[miniprofile_class] variable in its class. On the default ProBoards theme it should look something like this:
<div class="$[miniprofile_class]">
Next, make sure that the default {foreach} loop for custom fields is present inside your mini-profile. It doesn't need to be visible, so you're free to add it inside a hidden element if you don't plan on displaying it or if it would mess up the appearance of your own custom template.
Beyond that you can do whatever you like to the mini-profile template for the most part and it shouldn't negatively impact the plugin.
The following is a list of available variables for use in the HTML section of the mini-profile creator and their definitions. Adding any of these to a mini-profile will generate the content described in its definition in place of the variable so long as the information that variable outputs is visible to you.
To reference your forum's custom profile fields you can use $[user.customfieldname], substituting "customfieldname" with your custom field's name. You'll need to type the name in all lowercase with no spaces and only use characters A-Z and 0-9.
For example, Mini-Profile Theme becomes $[user.miniprofiletheme]. This will output the value of the custom field. In the case of this example, it'll be the name of the mini-profile theme you've chosen in your profile.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These will only work if you followed the steps in the Installation tab of this window on each of your themes. Any themes that do not include the template code specified there will not have these variables replaced in the mini-profile.

You can utilize the $(this) variable in the Javascript component to target the mini-profile <div> element. For example, if you wanted to add a class to the mini-profile you can use:
$(this).addClass('class-name-here');
Profile variables can also be used in the Javascript component in this plugin. In Javascript the value undefined is used to signify that a value doesn't exist for the variable you've specified. With this in mind you can use profile variables in Javascript conditional statements within the plugin similar to how they're used in the actual layout templates section of the admin area.
if(variable) will only run if the variable you specify has a value.
if(!variable) will only run if the variable you specify has no value.
Example 1 (variable has value):
if(user.group){
$(this).find('.group').show();
}
If the user has their group displayed in their profile the above Javascript would make the HTML below visible if you had it hidden with CSS.
