The Newb Handbook

[Billie]

Hey there, possible Ozrynite! We're glad you've decided to join us here at The Tales of Ozryn! We're basically a home-away-from-home RP, and we promise you that there's just love, fun and creativity that comes from within our doors! This guidebook is here to help you along your way as you start your adventure and journey with us. We hope you find it helpful!

BEFORE CREATING AN ACCOUNT:

The first thing you should do before you sign up is to read all the required material and start formulating an idea for a character. Read the [RULES] and take a look at both the [LIT CLAIM] and [FACE CLAIM] to see who is available or taken from each. Likewise, it'll be good to read up on some [ALREADY ACCEPTED] characters, to see what we're looking for in an application. Once you've decided you want to join, you can go onto the next topic!

ACCOUNT CREATION:

The next step is to sign up! Please know that proboards allows a "global login" by using the same email address, so as long as it's all on the same email, you don't have to log in separately to each character. You can use anything appropriate to name your username -- we suggest your character's firstnamelastname or your character's first name of some sort -- only so it's easier to tag you when we're playing!

Once your account is activated, go to "Profile" on the top, and put in all the information (Avatar; and under the "Personal" tab!). In the "Display Name" you should change your character's name from your username to the First Name Last Name format.

APPLICATIONS:

Once you're done filling out all that information, it's time to get your application done! We have a handy [HELP GUIDE] already in place to guide you through making an application! Good luck!

I'M ACCEPTED, NOW WHAT?:

Good question! Now you can set up your [CAST OF CHARACTERS] post, your [TRACKER], your [PLOT PAGE] and, if you want, your [FINALS LIST] and [REQUEST PAGE]. Whatever you create, please remember to put all your information in your profile (under the 'Personal' tab in edit profile!) so that it's a quick link right to every post you make.

Another thing to do is to post on other people's plot pages, and check out the [OZRYN CHRONICLE] for the current time hop information. If your character is in class, or would be doing something that's highlighted on the list, hop into a thread! Otherwise, hop into any open thread and get posting!

Still have questions? Well, you're in the FAQ section, so feel free to post here, or throw anyone a question in the box. We're happy to help when we're available!
