Filling out Information:
Each section to enter text has a descriptor under it such as "Two sentences minimum."
These are required
Be as descriptive as possible when filling out the information.
Character description for example should include
Height
Weight
Hair Color
Body Build (Muscular, Thin, Fat, Slightly overweight, etc.)
Tattoos if they have them
Glasses if they wear them
Anything else you can think of that would describe the physical appearance of your character
Be realistic regarding height and weight
No saying they are very muscular at 6'1" and 120lbs
Keep this in mind in terms of skills
Short Questions
These assist us in gauging the type of mentality of your character and how they would likely react in certain types of situations.
This is used by admins for example to ensure we do not have a server full of wimps or serial killers.
Additional skill levels
Choose skill levels to apply.
This can be to any skill you see on your skills tab, as well as strength and fitness
When applying additional skill levels, keep your character description in mind
If they are overweight for example, adding to sprinting or fitness may not be a good idea
No skills may go above lvl 5 using this method
If a skill is at lvl 3 for example from traits and profession, you could only apply 2 to that skill and must apply the remaining 3 levels to another skill.
These are done manually by an admin when they see you online.
Requested Items
These need to be kept realistic
No carrying far more than a normal person could travel longer distances with
Should relate to where they have been or their profession
These are issued manually when an admin sees you online
Character Background
Read the lore
Read the lore
Read the lore
Include what they did before the outbreak, during the initial outbreak and what they have been doing during the last 3 years since then.
How have they survived?
Had they belonged to any other settlements?
Where have they been?
How did they get to the current area?
Do not try to inject your own lore of the world.
The world as it was 3 years ago and back is the same as in real life.
We will not accept changes to what the world was
Be realistic
If you make a soldier, research military units, jobs and wars. Do not believe what you see in action movies. Believe what you see in documentaries. Not every soldier is a high speed, low drag, delta force, Army sniper, submarine door gunner. Find an MOS and do some research on it or ask the community. It is very possible there may be actual veterans who can assist you if needed.
Not all doctors know how to do everything. For example, most doctors can not make penicillin. A general doctor does not know how to perform surgery and more than a general surgeon knows how to treat sickness or viruses for the most part. That's why hospitals have medical teams with specialties.
Choose a profession you know something about.
If you know nothing about being a doctor, don't be a doctor or do a lot of research. Doctor is once again mentioned as doctors in game help determine the heal times of injured characters and are quite possibly one of the more complex professions as it requires a level of knowledge or common sense other professions do not. This needs to be semi realistic, as with treatment and many times there will not be time to research an injury to cover the basics.
Good or Bad?
Most people by base are good enough people so their reasons for being good do not generally need much description as to their reason
Bad people are usually bad for a reason.
Parental
School bullying
Poverty
High crime home (gangs for example)
Abused at a young age (common for serial killer types)
Mental illness (Schizophrenia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder)
Though none of these may 100% directly make someone bad, they can often times be found to add context and some measure of meaning to a persons actions.
Failure to fill out all sections completely may result in your application being denied.
We will generally give a player a second chance at least to improve their application but if it shows a total lack of effort, it may be denied straight away.
Banned Concepts:
Real life people (including yourself)
Characters in established media (a movie, book, TV show or anything like this)
Magical or supernatural characters
Application Waiting Period:
Generally, applications take at least 24 hours to begin processing, and an additional 24 hours between admin replies. If you have not heard from an admin within...
24 Hours - You may bump the application (post a comment to it)
48 Hours - You may submit a support ticket
Asking for an admin to look at it before 24 hours will not get it processed any sooner.
Asking an admin to give starting items or skill levels in global chat:
Only ask once in global chat. No more. If an admin CAN get to you, they will.
