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.

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.

Character: Reaper | Gabriel Reyes
Canon: post Masquerade
Age: 58
Character Bio: (optional: Wiki.) A super soldier who was also once a war hero and commander of a black ops division turned mercenary working with a terrorist organization. Now he seems wholly fueled by revenge against those he once trusted and fought beside for a deeply felt betrayal. Reaper is merciless, calm, and calculating, or at least appears that way when on a mission. There appears to be very little of the man he was once before, but there may be more to it than simply that.
Before he was Reaper, he was Gabriel Reyes, a man extremely loyal to his friends and those he fought beside. Believing in the cause and getting what needed to be done no matter what. A man who enjoyed Halloween and any celebration that involved masks and costumes, and even a fan of sports. Worked hard and gave his all, even if it meant making the hard decisions when he felt no one else could, or should. Joking with his agents and friends, even if his humor was a little dry or punny.
He has the ability to turn into some shadowy smoke and even teleport, absorbing the life force of those he deals damage to in order to heal himself. Even without the wraith-like abilities he's an extremely competent fighter, trained military, knowing his way around weapons and hand to hand. A superior strength due to the Super Solider program, genetically altered to take more and hit harder, amongst some other things.
Essence: La Lachuza | Folklore of La Lachuza/La Lachuza Bruja
Essence Gains: Since it is the essence of a witch, Reaper will of course be inheriting some magical abilities, such as shape-shifting in to the form of a large black demonic-sort-of barn owl. He will also be able to conjure up storms, severity likely depending on intent an his control over learning how to use it. For a quirk he will be craving raw meat, the fresher the better, and may or may not be inclined to.. take children(in a "this is now mine" way, rather than actual kidnapping, just to take advantage of his inclination to take in "strays" as it were).
Weapon-wise he'll mainly have very sharp "talons" making him lean more towards being the close-quarters combatant that he prefers to be anyway. Most of his magic will lay heavily in shadows, and perhaps some more "generic" sort of things I've yet to make solid.
Appearance-wise he may have a pair of wings hidden under the cloak he will have, along with much sharper teeth(all the better for eating raw meat) and other appearance alterations just to have some fun with it.
