Monastery of Priests and Priestesses is a place where can meet people, who have interest in priests or priestesses in RPG or Anime. This Monastery is also a role playing forum, where are much activities to advance in rank and where you can meet or make a new friends.
2. Is this all unique stuff? Have you done that all by yourself?
Yes. Everything you can see or hear at this Monastery (except few minor exceptions) was created by members of Monastery.

Just think about who you wish to be in future - Priest or Priestess - and make your character profile, filling special form in Profile threads, which are located in "Acceptance Room".
6. What about avatars?
Avatars in this Monastery are called "Character Portraits". You can't add your character portrait, while you haven't collected 160 Karma points. Meanwhile, in the place of your character portrait, you'll have the icon of your rank. When you'll have 160 Karma points, you'll be able to add your character portrait, but your rank icon still will be visible, but it will be on top of your character portrait.
7. What are Karma points?
Karma points indicates your alignment. You can say that Karma points are your sole pureness indicator. If your Karma points are in interval between -160 and 160 Karma points, then your alignment is "Neutral" and your sole haven't found the right way in this life, that because your sole is without any goal or purpose in this life. If you have over 160 Karma points then your alignment is "Good" and your sole has found the right way in this life, and your sole have a purpose or goal to achieve in this life. If you have lower then -160 Karma points your alignment is "Evil" and your sole became dark and it has found a goal or purpose in this life - ultimate destruction.
