COMPANIES


The celebrities of Artemis are currently employed by one of three unique companies, each with their own special policies and procedures. A celebrity’s career is deeply shaped by how the company manages them. There’s a flavor for everyone, so here’s where you might possibly be working!

Asteria Entertainment: The oldest company that had put the Moon on the map, Asteria Entertainment is infamous for being the strictest company. Dating bans, powerful creative directors, and long trainee periods are just some of the urban legends that go around about Asteria. However, it’s undeniable that Asteria Entertainment has produced some of the most famous lunar celebrities, with a legacy that spans over a century. It’s said that working under the Asteria standard would guarantee your success.

Zephyr Company: A company started on the Moon by a celebrity who protested Asteria’s lack of freedoms, Zephyr works toward the future and encourages creativity and autonomy among its artists. Some of the biggest trendsetters come straight from Zephyr, and they’re known for being more lax. There is no dating ban, but Zephyr is known for promoting their power couples. Zephyr has also recently introduced the concept of the AI-based idol singer.

GAIA: GAIA stands for the Geoffrey-Armstrong Interstellar Association. The youngest company out of the big three, it was established in response to anti-Earth refugee discrimination. They actively search for and accept Earth refugees and half-human talents, and welcome full aliens. They accept anyone, as long as they have the spirit and drive. Their headquarters are constantly under construction, and their talents might have to do a little more to get their releases out there, but who doesn’t like cheering for the underdog?

CAREER AND RATING SYSTEM


People from all over the Moon and the galaxy flock to Artemis for the entertainment industry. This la la land is filled with many opportunities, so let’s take a sneak peek at what you could be doing when you step onto the platform of the spaceport:

TALENT CAREERS

Film: The industry that put the moon on the map, actors and actresses grace the silver screen and television sets with their bold storytelling. Directors are captains on the forefront, leading their casts and crews into creating masterpieces.

Music: The latest bangers and earworms are the work of solo artists and bands. Release singles, build up to EPs and albums, and start the newest dance crazes on the apps. They’ll be talking about your latest music video before you know it.

Fashion: The future of fashion is now and the people of Artemis are regularly voted best dressed on the Moon. Fashion designers churn out the newest trends, and models are the faces of the latest ad campaigns. Artemis holds fashion week twice a year, and you can bet the industry is clamoring to get a place on the coveted runway.

RATING SYSTEM

So you say you’re famous— but how famous are you, really? Lucky for you, the easiest way to find out how the public is taking your latest piece of work is to leave it all to RNG!

Before you submit your first piece, you’ll be rated a nobody. As you post, you’ll gain our in-universe currency, woolongs. Spend your woolongs to claim songs, movies, TV shows, and designs. Staff will roll a five-sided dice and let you know how critics rated it. Unhappy with the rating? You’ll have another opportunity for a one-time reroll, for double the price you paid for the original roll.

Collectively, your rated pieces for the term will average into your overall stardom rating. From Hot Mess to Mr/Ms/Mx Worldwide, rise through the ranks and you just might become an award-winning talent!

Full credit and immense gratitude goes to Rimy and Vy for allowing us to adapt their rating system for Luminary!



Update


Our Discord Server will be opening next week December 23rd— be on the look out for the link! If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or on our engage with us on our Tumblr.

We’re aiming to do a soft open starting around January 2nd, then officially open around January 12th! If you join the Discord during the site buzz period, you'll get 500 woolongs once the actual site opens! Upon joining, you'll get an additional 500 woolongs for posting up a character in the first month— a total of 1000 woolongs, which will be good for at least two rolls!

I'm a little nervous to get back out there to see if I could find what sparks joy in writing again and feel a little shy, but I'm getting good vibes from where I'll be hopping into, so I hope I'll be able to find that spark again!

Honestly, this is why I have a character cap. I don't know what it is psychologically, but it's just overwhelming when one member has a bunch of characters, even when they're active on all of them.



I wish we had one, but I also really hate limiting people. I do get overwhelmed that now, there are tons of characters that I barely know anything about ;; I'm hoping that taking a break from processing apps will get me to feel a little better, at least! And give me time to be a member and get reacquainted!

I'm going to preface this with this has been my hobby for the longest time— I remember starting all the way in middle school, as cringey as that sounds (and honestly, how unsafe as that sounds now that I look back at it), and have always had the itch to write, enjoying the creative process with others, coming up with new ideas. It's been... eleven years now? Man I feel old. 

I've done a lot during my RP career. I've started and staffed sites, I've been an active participant in many, and it's always been such a delight. However, I'm starting to not quite feel that spark for the first time, and I'm not quite sure what it is. I'm fairly happy with the site that I am currently on, though having a demanding job and grad school does weigh upon me. I used to have a lot of pride for my posts and really appreciate how much I have improved over the years, but now I'm just not producing content that I'm quite proud of— it almost feels like my post quality had been better before when I read over some older posts from maybe about three years ago. I'm the kind of person that likes to challenge myself, and I do get that the solution is to just write more and challenge myself, but even then, I'm just not quite feeling it, and I've been feeling somewhat left behind by the same community that I help and staff, with no fault to anyone at all for that happening.

I'm not sure if this is burn out or anything else, but a friend of mine suggested retirement like Miyazaki instead of hiatus'ing for these unsure feelings— the pressure to return and produce would be off my shoulders, and I wouldn't feel like there's a deadline for me to come back to. And then, like Miyazaki if it really strikes my fancy, to come back to it fully recharged with four projects under my belt because I got too itchy from not writing.

Has anyone ever retired from RP and came back, or considered retiring from roleplay? This is just a really weird spot for me to consider because this has been one of my longstanding hobbies, but it does bother me that I'm not feeling quite as voracious as I used to about writing, and it's hard for me to want to do something with half a heart. How has your roleplay experience been?

I'd say my signs are pretty chaotic. I have a Cancer Sun, Virgo Moon that gets absolutely screwed over by my Gemini Rising
