Registration—
§ invites vs. public registration.
As this game was initially a private, invite only game, we still continue with the invitation system and allow current players to invite their friends to join at any time. However, we also want to allow others outside our circle to have fun with us, so we've opened up the game to the public.
Public registration is only open for certain periods and there is a 20 slot limit with a 1 character per player and 4 character per canon cap. These restrictions can be lifted depending on how much traffic we actually get, but this is the default safeguard. Public registration will only be open after a campaign has been completed.
It should be noted that none of these restrictions apply to current players and those with invitations. Both groups can register at any time and do not have to worry about the character canon cap during registration cycles. Thus it's possible to have 5 characters in a canon enter if 4 are from public and 1 from an invite. Just keep in mind there is an overall cast cap of 10 and claims will have preference.
Current players, there is a character limit of 4 per player. While anyone can bring in 2 characters at the start, you must have been active in the game and participated in some way in a campaign for two months for the third, and then another two months for the fourth. Please contact us so that we can check to see if you satisfy the requirements.
§ step one: what to do.
Whether you have an invite code or part of the public registration round, you need to do the following first to make sure you understand the game's rules and setting:
To get an invite, simply ask any of the players you know already in game. Current players will follow set directions, receive the code, and then give it to you. Take a screenshot of the exchange and continue on to Step 2! If you do not know anyone in game, then you will have to wait for the public registrations to open.
§ step one: fill the form.
Once you've done all of the above, fill out the following form and comment to this entry. The mods will respond to give the "A-OK" or request any changes. One comment per character.
Player: Name

Contact: Primary means of contact
Current Characters: For current players only
[Invite only:]
Referral: Player in game who referred you
Invite Code: Link of code screenshot
Character: Character you plan on bringing in
Canon: Canon and canon point

Workshop: Link to workshop
Test Drive: Link to TDM thread(s)
Essence: Storybook character you will be claiming
Essence Gains: Give a brief description of the finalized version of what kinds of abilities the character will be gaining or inheriting from their essence. It doesn't have to be exhaustive and you can always add more once in game, but at least give us an idea of what we should expect. REMEMBER: characters lose all of their canon abilities and weapons upon entering.
Quirk: OPTIONAL! If your character is gaining a personality quirk based off the Essence, list it here! Remember they can only have one quirk.
Questions: Any questions you might have
§ step three: await mod confirmation.
More likely than not you'll be confirmed. If you are, congratulations! Follow the directions in the comment and have fun. You should receive notice within 24 hours. If you do not receive any reply after 48 hours, PM the mod journal!

§ step one: what to do.
Whether you have an invite code or part of the public registration round, you need to do the following first to make sure you understand the game's rules and setting:
- Read the Rules, Game Info, and World Info;
- Check the Character Roster and Essence List to make sure nothing is taken;
- Participate in the current Workshop and Test Drive as they serve as our "application" form (note: toplevels alone or tagouts are satisfactory);
- Make a Claim when it opens to ensure a public registration slot;
- Have an invite code if you're going that route.
To get an invite, simply ask any of the players you know already in game. Current players will follow set directions, receive the code, and then give it to you. Take a screenshot of the exchange and continue on to Step 2! If you do not know anyone in game, then you will have to wait for the public registrations to open.

Invite Code: Proof
TDM: if available: TDM1 | TDM2
Character: Alfyn Greengrass
Canon: Octopath Traveler (post-chapters but not fully post-endgame)
Age: 21
Character Bio: (Wiki.) Alfyn is a cheery, good-natured, down-to-earth apothecary who chose to travel the continent and help anyone and everyone he could. He doesn't charge for his work. His potions and poisons are a little rough around the edges but he puts his whole heart into everything and he's a big bear of reassurance in any crisis. (He's built like a lumberjack and his "weapon of choice" is an axe, actually.) Warm-hearted and friendly to a fault, what he wants most in life is to help people out and see them healthy and living good lives, and he has a tendency (it's his game mechanic skill!) to disarm you with words and put you at ease enough to share things about yourself; he really does care about all those things! He also loves a good story and a good drink, and I have no idea how he affords the latter at all.
Essence: Johnny Appleseed | Johnny Appleseed
Essence Gains: So Alfyn's canon "abilities" (that aren't just based in knowledge of plants and stuff) are Big Axe Usage, an ice spell, a bit of a healing spell, and being Insufferably Chatty. I figure he can eventually pick up an axe somewhere in-world but what I played around with on the TDM was his natural affinity for making people feel at ease and finding out stuff about them translates through his essence into trees kind of doing the same - moving a bit to accommodate him or closing their branches as shelter from the rain or etc. Also, if he drops or throws away any sort of apple that still has seeds in it (or just the seeds), an apple tree grows where they land. Like right then. It's just a baby tree but who knows?
Eventually he'll figure out he can still make ice but it appears in the shape of an apple. Every time. Complete with tiny stem and decorative leaf!
Questions: I hope he can just kind of learn in-game of similar plants etc. that are around in the stories that he could use to keep apothecarryin' on?
