Step One: Register your Player Account.
This is simple. Register with an Account name, email address and password. This account will be used in the Meta-Forum to post applications, edit your characters' profiles, discuss ingame events and generally socialize oocly.
Step Two: Read the Meta-Rules and FAQ.
Please, please, please familiarise yourself with the rules before you even create an application. This saves both you and the administration a lot of trouble.
Step Three: Write up an Application.
You will find the rules on Applications in the appropriate subforum. The mods and admins will take a look at your application and either approve it or help you change it so it may be fit for approval after a compromise is reached.
Step Four: (optional) Register a Character Account.
Just register a new account (I recommend 10minutemail for that.) and give it the approriate name. We will put it into the Characters-Group as soon as possible. In the meantime please take the time to re-familiarize yourself with the Roleplaying-Rules and read the rules of the ingame forum. Once that is accomplished you can start posting in-character.
