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
Age:
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
Age: (of the character)
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!
Registration OPEN to Invitations and Current Players.
Public Registration is CLOSED until further notice!

§ 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.

Character: Rudy Roughnight
Canon: Wild ARMS Alter Code: F (post-game)
Age: 15
Workshop: Workshop
Test Drive: TDM
Essence: The Ugly Duckling | ...The Ugly Duckling
Essence Gains:
Transformation into a swan: In the beginning, Rudy will only be able to manage partial transformations or a full transformation for a limited time. He'll also have to learn to fly on his own.
Feather knives: He'll be able to shoot feather knives at enemies, with the number and distance increasing over time. It could also develop into him using feathers as if they were knives.
Affinity for water: Rudy's ability to swim and manoeuver in water will greatly increase. Being in full swan form will increase it further. Water magic would have to wait a while, as he is very much not magically inclined.
Wing shield: He will be able to protect others with a giant wing!
The lovely birds...: His quirk will be a fear of or feelings of nervousness about beautiful people! So he doesn't end up being terrified of basically everyone, I'm restricting this to characters who are canonically described as beautiful or people he personally thinks are beautiful.
Rudy will be losing his ARM and his ability to use them, which is going to be a bit of a blow as he's been able to use them for as long as he can remember. It might even be a bit traumatizing, as the last time his ARM stopped working was not a fun time. However, he won't know anything is wrong until he actually gets it back.
Questions: Will I ever stop leaving things to the last minute?
