Some functions of the RPEngine
Chat
RPEngine has a fully integrated chat system with 2 chat channels, OOC (Out of Character) and RP (RolePlay). The OOC chat is global while RP chat is set to go a configurable distance (default 35 blocks). The chat system is also compatible with permission plugins like permissions ex and shows player prefixes and suffixes in the OOC chat
The RP chat has a few formatting tricks:
Emotes For expressing all of your character's actions! Simply use the * symbol in front of your action. For example: *walked in a circle around the flowers. Shows up as George walked in a circle around the flowers
This uses your character's name as defined in the character card. If you use quotations it'll color the text white. This helps detonate speech.
OOC in the RP chat Sometimes you need to tell the people you're rping with something, out of character. But there is no need for the whole server to see your message. So you send your message in the rp chat. Put (( in front of your message and it will turn grey so people know it's out of character
Character Cards
Used for displaying information about your character. Use /card to view your cards. You can either /card [value] to set values or you can directly click on the text that pops up. Since the plugin sends you json messages instead of plain text messages you can interact with the chat, so instead of remembering all the commands to edit your card you can click on the values to edit them
Birds
Birds are a way of sending long distance messages in roleplay. It wouldn't be realistic for your message to arrive instantly at the recipient, so the bird is a message that takes time to arrive to it's destination. The amount of time a bird takes depends on the distance between the two players and the configured speed of the birds (default: 20 blocks/s)
Rolls
Do you want to let chance decide what happens next to your character? How about a roll. It gives you a random number between 1 and the max you set with /roll [maxRoll]
Countdown The countdown is something players can use before they start their rp or pvp battle.

So, I tend to run crazy high fantasy stories. That said, is there a way to remove the age limit altogether? Or, for that matter, what would be the realistic maximum I could put the age limit at without causing trouble?
Also, is there a way to have the players put in their own race, or must they choose from a pre-made list? The same would go for nations - I'm using towny, and role-play wise, this is a new land on this server, and the players are among the very first settlers. So, the only nations are the ones they make. Either way, this looks like a really useful plugin!

Maybe in the future. It isn't on the planning atm tho
Would it be possible to add custom fields to the cards, and fields only visible to someone with the right permissions? As an admin of an old MOO, we had GM notes in character's cards and this is why I asked.
This will completely change the landscape of Minecraft RP!
Great job! :D

Thanks!!!

Waiting for project approval by bukkit, in the meantime you can download it here: Jenkins
@simonvic
Working on it, I will test it in 1.8 since I don't have access to 1.7.4 builds of bukkit or spigot, but it should be backwards compatible
Can you make a standalone plugin of Character Cards (compatible with 1.7.4 if possible)???? Please
