Admin assisted characters and dinos transfer are allowed via in game Space Port [Obelisk interface] "Travel system"
Any Dinos transferred from anywhere besides the Valhalla Down servers, will be Removed and result in a permanent ban.

 These are the Three reasons I even started this mess....
1: This will Allow all of Arks content in one platform of RP realistically
2: Steps away from the comfortable Primitive RP
3: Immediate RP immersion as you spawn. With starting gear and equipment.

You are a drop survivor of Valhalla.
Welcome to Yggdrasil System.

Every player must base their RP around being a Human survivor from Valhalla.
a continent sized space station that has fallen.

Valhalla was a man-made haven, it was technologically sound and capable of inhabiting
multiple star systems of human life in its vast scale and design. Most if not all of the inhabitants are of the nearby planets who have taken residence in Valhalla and spent most of their lives aboard the continental spacecraft. due to its sheer luxury and convenience.

After being struck by the Obelisk of a nearby Uncharted planet now named by the survivors: Helheim
Valhalla fell into calamity and initiated an apocalypse level evacuation order. Every man woman and child.
To this day, the reason and cause of the Helheim obelisks random and devastating attack upon Valhalla are widely unknown.
Scientists and Engineers still study them to this day.

Thanks to the innovations of the Valhalla continental station, 94% of human life survived, only losing the lives of those in the direct attack.
14,000,000 Drop pods launched that day...  only 700,000 have managed to fall thus far.
Lost in orbit sleeping in cryo-rest, destined to one day meet the planet, and realize that their home Valhalla... is no more.

Aside from being a Human Being and from the Valhalla Space Colony (At least at the evacuation, i.e. being born from one of the planets or another system is Okay)
 Freedom is yours, you can be anyone you want otherwise within these themes of context.

You arrived on Helheim in your drop pod with nothing but your standard equipment for your class and minimal ammunition.
Your drop pod is equipped with the resources you need to gather and build a survival outpost planet side.
Pieces of Valhalla fall from the sky constantly and can be salvaged for valuable tech resources. (any class can open drops and carry its contents)
There are vast and diverse forms of alien wildlife. Some even earning nicknames from Valhalla survivors, such as the dragon, the wyvern, the manticore, and more ferocious alien lifeforms.
You can use your equipment to tame or befriend the wildlife to assist you on your survival outpost and protection with the help of biologist survivors.
When you have successfully created your survival outpost.

Proceed to exist.
That is your only protocol as a drop survivor.

Spend your days finding other survival outposts making and building colonies, and looking to the skies in hopes of one day returning to a new Valhalla?
Dig your life into the new earth at your feet and swear goodbye to the stars forever?
Make your own path, Spend your life trying to build a starship from scraps.
Or die in the pits of the hungry swarms of alien life beyond the light of your dropzone--.

You choose, Survivor.
And Welcome, to Helheim Welcome to the Yggdrasil System.

Welcome to your new home in the stars.

The Drops Pods of Valhalla are designed to keep the computer network memory of the entire space continent colony station up to date until the moment of its evacuation.

------------RULES---------------

 - "The Cherish Life Rule" -
Cherish Life Rule is a special and powerful rule.
This is a rule that some people who are not entirely familiar with RP won’t fully understand it's full gravity.

The cherish life rule is the act of actually exhibiting care for your life, and the life of others.
Recklessly throwing yourself into the metaphorical pits of fire, for no reason. is a bannable offense.
you must consider the Life, of every other Person, Dinosaur, Alien, and creature.
Not doing so can be reported by anyone, and is a serious offense to the server rules.

When you take the life of a person you had better have a vengeance that can convince a god.
Because that shit doesn’t play here buster. Permanent Bans. this is not a Playground.

-- PERMA DEATH ---
If you die in any RP situation. by Dinosaur, by person, by starvation or dehydration or any other means. you are DEAD.
you must respawn and select a new Drop Pod class and begin a new life as a Freshly Fallen Angel of Valhalla
IF you die, by a Shitty ARK Glitch, you DO NOT have to Perma your character and are Welcome to return to your lost items.

----UNDERWATER AND CAVE BUILDING IS ALLOWED AND HAS NO DURIBILITY LOSSES.----
(you can only make a total of 3 "Blockages" to a Cave.
(door and walls that block the entrance)
And you can only have one Cave Per Tribe. Alliances don’t count.)

-Raiding-
Offline Raiding IS ALLOWED. You must PROTECT YOUR BASE FROM RAIDERS AND DINOS. SORRY.
There are literally HUNDEREDS OF WAYS to protect your stuff offline. Sorry it's True.

However,

game glitches or exploits to make it easier, all violators can be permanently banned after investigation.
