== Overview ==
This is a simple page that will help you get started on SOTS, all you need to do is follow these steps and you be on SOTS in no time.
* Register - This is almost self explanatory, firstly sign up on SOTS using an email and choose a name you wish to identify yourself as in the community. Please note, this is your "Master Account" or known as your "OOC Account"(Out of Character Account), this account will function as a hub of sorts for all your characters and when you're out of character.
* Make a sub account for your character - Now that you made a master account, now we're going to make a sub account that will be linked to your main account, this account will function as your character's account in which you will use to RP with.
1.	Scroll up to the top of the screen, there you will see a Cog, that when hovered over, will say control panel, click on it.
2.	If you look on the left, you see the menus and features you can do or setup with your account. For now, scroll down to "PERSONAL PROFILE" and find "Edit Sub-accounts", click on it.
3.	Now it will take you to a menu that says, "Register a new account" and "Delink Account(s)", click on "Register a new account"
4.	It will open a new menu, read the "forums Terms and Rules" then check off "I have read, understood and agree to these rules and conditions". Next click on "Register"
5.	It will open a new menu where now you can make another account, now this time, this account will be your character's account so name it after your character's name.
6.	Once that is complete, it will take you back to the control panel page and will now show your character account. Now scroll up to the top of the page, you will see the name of your master account, "Switch Account", the "Control Panel" that is represented as a Cog, a logo in the form of a letter which represents your "Messages" and a small circle with a line within itself, that is the button for "Logging out". Click on "Switch Account" and select your character's name from the list.
7.	
Now if you look at the top, you see you're Character's name instead of the name of your master account, you are now in your Character's account, to switch back, simply click on "Switch account" and click on your master account's name.
