Character Application

First Things First

Before you can apply for a character, you must first become a member of the world. To do so, you must post an introduction, where you will be then sent a world invite. Once you do that, you make your character and your bio. When you're finished with everything, you'll post here with a link to your character, and once your character's been checked and approved, an invite will be sent. Once your character's been invited, you're free to start roleplaying!

Remember How To Edit Your Character?

Good, because this is where the information comes in handy. The data below is all necessary in your character bio, although the layout you use is entirely up to you (Provided you use adequate spacing), and you may include any extra information that you want. We're working on an honor system here; don't change your character info once they've been approved, but if you must, alert a staff member so it can be reviewed. You cannot roleplay unless your bio has been reviewed and given an okay.

Before Using HTML

Make sure this button on the top right is turned off. It's a rich text editor, and while it's handy for general text editing, it can and will break any instance of html you use. It will break your templates. It will break your links. Nothing is safe. Save yourself a lot of headache, and make sure it is off. It'll look like this when it's off.
