This scaffold is to be filled out with your character's information. When complete, create a thread here labelled with your character's name and containing their completed character profile. Please make sure you have properly read the rules (here and here) before filling out your character profile. It is also highly recommended that you read through the lore (here) before attempting your character profile. Once you have submitted your character profile, you will receive a reply on your thread from one of the admin assessing (and hopefully accepting) your character. Once your character has been accepted, you may begin roleplaying.
