How to Create Your Character

[Harper Jones]

Welcome to the site! This guide is for new members who don’t understand how to get started or who are making sure they are proceeding through the process correctly. Without further ado, I present to you on how to create your character:

1. READ THE RULES found here. This is important, because creating your character means that you automatically agree to the rules. Don’t waste your time creating your character if you won’t follow the rules.

2. FILL OUT THE CHARACTER FORM found here. The form is straight forward, but we’re getting tougher on who we accept. More about this is found here. Please note that YOU chose your godly parent from the open cabins, not staff. For convenience's sake, I’m putting the form on this guide too:

3. POST YOUR CHARACTER FORM. You will be posting under the Characters folder found on the home page; there are NO sub-forums for this. Create a new thread with your character’s full name in the title and post your form.

4. WAIT FOR APPROVAL. This is the hardest part, because mods/admins are not on 24/7. Once someone on the staff looks over your application, they will either accept it or tell you there are things that need fixed. DO NOT POST ON THE REST OF THE SITE UNTIL YOUR CHARACTER IS APPROVED.

5. POST IN CLAIMS. Once your character application is accepted into the roleplay, there are two claims you are required to post in. The first one is the Face Claim and the other is the The Cabin Claim. Both of these claims are very important since it makes the admins' job easier and avoids potential confusion.

6. HAVE FUN ROLE-PLAYING. Pretty self-explanatory.

Hopes this guide helps you out! And once again, welcome to the site!
