Joining

## Joining Rundown

1. Read all pages highlighted in the "Mandatory Information" section.
2. Watch the group to stay updated, if you have not done so already. **Watching the group is mandatory**.
3. Create a character and wait for the group to officially accept applications.
4. Once open, send a member request and attach a link to your application. You will be either accepted, declined, or given a comment on minor mistakes to fix after the group closes for applications. Application checks will be offered during a specific time frame before the group opens. They will not be available at any other time or during the opening.

To apply, click "Join our group" on the left sidebar of the group. Include a link to your application inside your Member Request!

Please remember that your application has to include the following: Title Format, Hashtag, Icon linking back to the group

If you are missing any of these aspects or have put something else into the title of the deviation, you will be asked to change it.

## Important Notes

• Please familiarize yourself with our story pages. It is essential that members stay in the loop of the ongoing story, as it provides settings and will lead up to any other future world content introductions.

• We are a semi-casual, collaborative world-building group. That means the main story exclusively exists to introduce new world content and lead the story towards each new Trial, and the focus should lie on the world and characters; we are not a hardcore group where the mods should be expected to provide content consistently. If you join, you will be expected to create your own story for your character with the world elements provided by our community, and/or bring in your own content.

• As our group depends on character interactions and bonds being formed actively, it is important that members feel confident enough to talk in our server and interact with each other, as well as ask for roleplays. Being an active part of the discord server is mandatory. This group may not be suitable for those who do not engage in servers and prefer to only roleplay privately. Our members are generally welcoming and friendly, and will be happy to include you in their group roleplays!

• This group is meant to be a fun and safe space for whoever enjoys gushing about their characters and ships with each other. Should you find yourself to be a person who gets irritated by other members publicly showing enthusiasm about their OCs, this place is not for you. We have a strict rule regarding these matters, and violations of it will not be tolerated in any way.

## Vouching

Between openings, a member of the group has the option to vouch for someone as potential member. To vouch, the member has to send a finished application to the group via note for the person they are vouching for. The application will be checked following the regular process. If it is acceptable, the applicant may be invited to the group. The application can still be declined if it has too many flaws, so make sure you have read the journals properly.

Include the following in the Vouching note:

The note should be titled "**Voucher - Username of vouched person**"
**Username:** *Username of the applicant*
**Application:** *Insert link. Can be a submitted deviation or a sta.sh link*
