STARTING GUIDE

Welcome to the board.    
Feel free to join our Discord server at any point,
or use the cbox in the bottom right corner on all pages.
You'll get in contact faster though Discord.
It's linked on all pages in the floating menu above.

STEP 1 ~ Read the Plot, the world info and Rules in whichever order works for you. The world info thread has only board-canon info that you need to know. Some of it can be skipped initially if the particular world detail won't affect your character but there are parts that do apply to any character.

STEP 2 ~ Take a look at what kind of characters we already have here.

STEP 3 ~ Register on the board with your character's name. You can also register your username as a player account but it's not necessary. Use the same e-mail address for all your account so you can attach them to each other.

STEP 4 ~ Fill in the application form provided below, if you haven't already.
You can include a roleplay/writing sample if you want to, but it's not required at all. If you use a play-by, check from the Play-bys list if it's available. When you're done, post it on the Appplications forum.

STEP 5 ~ Wait for the approval. I usually read apps within 3 days. If I've replied to it but it's still in the Applications section there's something in it that needs to be fixed. When I approve the app I will move it over to the Characters forum.

Then just enjoy plotting and writing!
