Hey there! If you're reading this, that means you've just joined the Source! Welcome!
This thread will lead you through the steps so you can jump into roleplay! It'll be short and sweet.
1. Make sure you read the rules through completely! This set of rules illustrates the do's and do-nots of the Source, and is very important for every member to read. There are penalties for breaking our rules, so please be aware of them. They are there to make your experience and the experience of others better.
2. Your next step is to get accepted. You have an account, but you cannot roleplay just yet. The Source is a moderate-high-to-literate forum, and we want to keep this status. This also helps weed out the trolls and weirdos.
Don't be offended that you have to go through a test - if you do not pass, we are willing to offer grammar and spelling help to those that might need it. We want you to join us! (:
Please fill out this form and send it in a PM to Kite:
Online handle: (what do you want us to call you?) Do you already have a 9 character?: (Tell us a little about him or her or it! This is entirely optional; feel free to leave this blank!) Expected activity: (how often do you expect to be on the Source?) Have you been a member of a roleplay forum before?: Give us a roleplay sample! Please type out at least one paragraph.:
3. Once you are accepted as a full member of the Source, you will gain access to the roleplay boards and the profile boards. So, your next step is to make a character! You have to have the password to get into the Character Applications board. Remember the rules you read before? The password is somewhere in there. The following are important links to help you with your profile building!:
Character Application form - this is the main form you fill out for your character! There are minimum requirements, but feel free and even encouraged to add more information! Number List - Be sure to check here to see if your character's desired number is taken or not! We do not allow negative numbers, fractions, or decimals, nor do we allow multiple dolls with the same number. Species Descriptions About the Alliances
4. After you post your profile, a staff member will review it as soon as is possible. To make this happen faster, PLEASE remove anything like "wip" or "incomplete" from your profile title!
Keep tabs on your profile, because if there is information missing or something that needs to be expanded on, a staff member will post on the profile itself.
Once your character is accepted, he, she, or it will be added to the Master Character List and moved to the Accepted Profiles board according to their alliance.
5. Now, roleplay! There are other things you can do to flesh out your character (check out the other boards in the CHARACTERS category), but they are not required. You can join an Open thread (it will have OPEN in the title) or start your own!
If you still have questions, feel free to ask a staff member or the userbase!
All in all, welcome to the Source, and we hope you enjoy your stay!
