Okay, I've had a couple of people ask me what they are supposed to do when signing up to join our site. So, to make things simpler, and so that staff don't end up answering the same question a hundred times over and all that jazz, I have made a simple set of instructions. Although you don't have to necessarily do all of them in this order, there are some things you must do before doing another.
1. Read the rules and general plot:
Yes, the first step is not to pick your character or make an account. You've got to make sure that this site is right for you. Do you know enough about this era in history? Are you able to do the research should it be necessary? Things like that.
This information can be found here... hetaliahistory.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=introduction
That's both canon and OC, depending on what you are looking for. Make sure the character or characters you want are still available. If they are, post a comment in the thread to reserve a character. For example, if reserving Arthur I would write:
"I would like to reserve England please".
Same with OCs. An admin will accept or decline your request. If you are accepted, the character will be put on reserve and you will be given four days to complete the app.
IF YOU DO NOT RESERVE THE CHARACTER, SOMEONE ELSE WHO COMPLETES THEIR APP FIRST AND IS APPROVED WILL GET THEM. BE WARNED.

Once your character is reserved, you must complete the app before the deadline. As stated before, if you risk applying without a reservation, that character can be taken from you without any warning.
At this stage you can also make your forum account. If you have more than one character, please make more than one account.
What is Chatango? Chatango is that small screen at the bottom of the forum where we can roleplay in live-time. For those who aren't familiar with what to do, you must sign up with each character. Come up with a clever screen name for each of them. Yes, you must make an account for each character to avoid confusion.

2. Check the Character lists
That's both canon and OC, depending on what you are looking for. Make sure the character or characters you want are still available. If they are, post a comment in the thread to reserve a character. For example, if reserving Arthur I would write:
