Well hey there! You must be a new member at FD, lost and confused, looking for some help to get started, huh? (or else just really bored...?)
Well, if it's the first, this handy little guide should get you right on track, and headed off where you need to go to start roleplaying. -whoot!-
I've put this in a hand step-by-step guide, and there will be a set of links at the bottom for easy navigation. c:
1. Okay, so, the first and most important thing on any site would be to read the rules, right? Well get to it!
-click here-2. Done with that?Alright. Now I suppose you want to create your first character. Well, there are a few things you need to know about that.
• This roleplay is roughly based around a medieval setting. It
is fantasy, so it' not a real world outside the computer, but it's a world where they have castles and swords more than malls and movie theaters. Let's not make movie star characters, alright?
• I'm pretty wide open about what kind of fantasy character you use- anything you could find in a fictional/fantasy type book is cool with me. Elves, elementals, mages/sorcerers, werecats/wolves, shapeshifters, vampires, fairies... You name it. (if you're uncertain about something, feel free to ask- it's most likely fine, but I'll give you an official okay if you think you need it. ;3 )
• There are three different categories in which your character might fit. They're pretty rough, so nothing too specific. Basically, it's people who will be/might possibly be hatching a magical egg, and then those who probably won't. And then, the eggs themselves. Simple enough. (note: please, use common sense. a dragon or unicorn probably won't be hatching an egg- most likely, it's the thing that hatched out of the egg. so, make the Hatchers semi-human-ish, okay? thanks. x3 )
Alright, now that you've read that daunting wall of text, here's what you should do:
Go to the
New Characters Board.
Find the thread that is titled '
Bio Form' (<-- clickable if you can't find it, though I'd be kind of sad if you couldn't).
Copy and paste, fill it out, and then head to the proper sub-board to post your characer. (New Thread option is in the top right-hand corner)
And wah-lah! You have your character!
Note: Please wait until a staffer has accepted it before actually roleplaying. c:3. Goodness! That was complicated, huh? Well, now you're past the hard part. The next step would be to go check out our awesome new
map, and familiarize yourself with the lands which your character(s) will be inhabiting.
4. Now, you're ready to actually roleplay, right? Well, then, you'd better hop over to the
plot thread and figure out what the heck's goin' on! If you're confused, feel free to ask anyone on the site- I'm sure all and any of our members would be glad to give you an update on the current roleplays. ^^
5. Well, you've fnally done it! You're ready to go roleplay! So, go start yourself a thread in one of the many parts of Isthilaen, or join in on one already started. If you need someone to roleplay with, head on over to the
Roleplay Discussion boards and find yourself a roleplay partner. c:
Well, I hope this guide helped you get started. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me or any of the other staffers! Have fun! ;D
