How to Get Started A step by step guide to getting started in Terre d’Ange.
- Step One: First of all, you’ve got to know what’s going on, so step one is to acquaint yourself with the Rules. It’s very important to read them first. All the rules are posted under the Important Information board, and like it’s name suggests, here you will find all the information you need about Terre d’Ange both the world as created by J.C. and the world of this RPG. It shouldn’t be hard to find them, but if you can’t, contact your admin.
- Step Two: Now that you have read the rules for the board, its time to figure out where you fit in; create a character. All new players may create up to 4 characters (2 peers/2 adepts) and must actively post with all their characters for a minimum of 30 days before they are allowed to create more characters. Go to the character information board and find the Format of the Bio that has been posted. Copy the code and fill in the appropriate information; if you have any NPC's please do a very short bio for them as well. (Hint: if you need help, just look at the other bios). Once you have done this you need to PM (private message) either Carol at her coretta account or Nicole at her christien account to have it approved. You will also need to have a backstory approved as well; this can be sent at the same time as your bio if you wish, but not necessary. A backstory is a 2-3 paragraph post relating to something important from your character’s past. Backstories must be posted in the area where they take place before any other RPing can commence.
- Step Three: Once you have created a character and it has been approved through a member of management, please go to the Character Information board and post the bio of your character. Under the Character Information board you will see a good number of subheadings under which bios can be placed. For more information, ask a management or staff should there be confusion.
- Step Four: Assuming that your bio and backstory were approved, go to the Avatar List and the Site Member’s List and post your character’s avatar and your own name with a list of your characters respectively. These are how you claim your avatar and make yourself known to other players; just reply to the posts.
- Step Five: Next you’ll probably want to get involved in the actual Role Playing experience. This can be done in a few ways; jump in and get your feet wet by simply posting a thread. Or you can go to the “OOC” board and post a thread to see if there is any one interested. These two things can be done together to optimize the chance of getting a response. Something else you can do it PM (private message) a member of the site and ask them directly if they want to RP; if all else fails, contact management or staff to ask for help.
