How To Join Us
Joining is a simple two-step process. First, join our email group here, where all the action occurs. Second, create a character for approval: simply fill out this form, or copy the form below into an email and send it to the Council with Your Real Name's Character: [Character name] in the subject line. You may want to read through the form below before filling out the clickable page, as the instructions here are more complete than the form allows. Either way you send your sheet, please email us any pictures you'd like included on your character's web page.
You should hear back from us within a week, but if it's longer than that, please poke us again. We're usually quite prompt, but on rare occasions things go astray.
Before creating your character, it would be helpful to read through the informational sheets on the site, but at the minimum, please read The Rules. Please remember, do not post in-character to the list until you receive an email saying your character has been approved!

Character Name- Writer's Name
Gender: (genetic sex, please, or intersex. Preferred gender identification- if different from genetic sex- can go in the Personality or History sections below.)
Age: (For Vampires, please state their Apparent Age- the age they appear to be, and their Actual Age- how many years they've walked the planet.)
Nature: (Human, Bear, ect.)
Occupation: (This can be a one word answer, such as Student.)
Appearance: (Describe this person's appearance as if you were describing them to a friend, including how they usually dress. Please try to avoid super-short women. Average female height in the US is about 5' 6".)
Personality: (Doesn't need to be extensive, but again, as you'd describe a friend to another friend.)
History: (This is usually more extensive, but of course only needs the parts that are pertinent to making your character the person they are.)
Abilities: (Does your character have any talents or special skills?)
Weaknesses: (Think of these more as personality flaws, the negative parts of that friend's habits, the parts they usually wouldn't reveal to anyone else. It can also be a significant physical difficulty, such as "deaf in the left ear" or "has epilepsy.")
Quirks: (Optional, but fun: Pretty much anything can go here, from "enjoys peanut butter sandwiches dressed with mayo and sardines" to something more substantial and serious like: "is so phobic about house fires that he never cooks at home and has two smoke detectors in every room."
Weapons: (Does your character have a Concealed Carry permit, and uses it? Or is your character a living weapon, even while stark naked? That goes here. "None" is also an acceptable entry.)
Family: (Either enter "None" or list at least one person. Family members can be non-played characters, listed here simply for future reference. Significant in-game others belonging to other players can also be listed here.)
Vehicle: (Optional, so you can leave it blank or answer "None.")
Home: (Everyone's got to live somewhere, even if it's just in a cardboard box draped with garbage bag plastic out in the woods. If your character is in transit, and not settled anywhere permanent, you may always enter "Blue Star Inn" here, or "Renting a room.")
A couple of other things that are spiffy to have on your sheet, but not required, are a photo of your character. You may use drawings IF they are realistic, not manga, cartoon, 3D game graphics or anime. If you use a celebrity's picture, please include the real person's name, just so we can make a note of it at the bottom of the page. We try not to have more than one, say, Hugh Jackman doppelgänger running about the place and that attribution helps.
Tasteful, artistic nudity is acceptable only if your character is a shifter. No female nipples, or the pubic areas of either gender, may be showing. This is to maintain the PG-13 rating of the site and main email list, as some of our members may be minors.
If your character's a shifter, you can include a photo of how they appear in fur, as well.
Does a particular song seem to fit your character like a glove? Send us the title and artist on the sheet. We'll add it and if it's possible we'll make a link to that song's Youtube video.

Revisions
Almost every sheet requires revision before approval, even those of the Council. If there are points that need to be clarified or altered, we'll send back your character sheet with the revisions and suggestions in a contrasting color. Once you've made the revisions, send it back to the Council and all should be well.
Once you're playing, if you'd like to update or revise your character sheet, drop those changes into an email to the Council and we'll revise your sheet. Character photos may also be revised by sending us a new picture for the site, but if it's a dramatic change (like to a different person's face) please remember to revise the Appearance portion of your sheet as well.
We look forward to meeting you, and your characters, in the game!
