Welcome to Khu Ioduan, your application for Era Ra has been accepted! Please read the following carefully as it contains many important links and information you'll need to get settled in the game.
Era's inventory will be reduced using your suggestions. She can keep her weapons (and her lyre), armour, clothes, glamour plates, and wind-up toys.
Regarding her abilities, we would like you to pick a main class for Era along with the cross-class abilities the main would have access to (though not the full extent of those sub-class abilities). In this vein, we'd like to offer you the option of 1-3 Soul Crystals remaining in her inventory, with the potential to recover more in the future. Let us know which job classes you will choose.
She will require an opt-in permissions post for The Echo, to be hosted and available for player comment on her journal. If the glamour plates can be counteracted by other characters in some way, they will also need permissions. Please provide this link as well as links to your character's IC inbox and optional information post when you respond to the Taken Characters list, explained below.
AFFINITY: Your character's randomized starting ranks for all seven Affinity areas have been added to the tracking spreadsheet! Be sure to bookmark the link for future reference, since Affinity will be part of your Activity Checks.
TALENT: Upon arrival in Aifaran, Era has received an ability from the school of Illusion! She will find this image somewhere on their body in a location of your choice, and you're free to decide how your character discovers the specifics of their new power: Ghost Speech! You can make voices sound different, or change the perception of certain sounds.
Level 1 Skill: You can make your voice (or any sound that you can normally make vocally) seem to issue from someplace else in a 30 ft radius.
ARRIVAL, HOUSING & NETWORK ACCESS:
Your character will appear somewhere within the city of Aifaran, as it is the concentrated center of the archipelago's power. They should be able to easily find their way to the Dreaming Bridge, since Dreamfolk arriving clueless and confused is a regular occurrence here! Once there, your character has been assigned to the Breakwater Wing in Room 06 and can get settled in. The Dreaming Bridge also provides characters with a basic stipend of various necessities and a small allowance of funds (around the equivalent of $50 worth), since meals are provided at the Bridge for all residents (although it's basically cafeteria food). If your character has any special needs (dietary, mobility, etc), the staff will help them with these requests.
An Opara Core technician on-site will also provide them with their network login information, and will help them with some basic tutorials if they seem unfamiliar with this style of technology. They'll also be issued a mobile handset (a "yimo") at this time and shown how to charge it off the stationary terminals. Remember that your character won't have access to the network without getting a login, so while they may have been able to view some other people's broadcasts, they won't be able to reply or make their own until they've gotten their own login.
To officially become part of the game, please complete the following steps:
JOINING:
1. Reply to this comment with your character's journal name, even if you used it to post the application; your character journal will not be added to the comms before you have done this step.
3. Go to the Taken Characters page and complete the New Character Addition form. Remember to create an IC inbox entry if you haven't already, and you may link to a permissions post for your character, which is optional (but encouraged) unless a permissions post was a stipulation of this acceptance, noted above.
Specific tags have been created in the Network and Logs communities for when you post and tag posts with your character. Once you've completed these steps, feel free to introduce yourself in the OOC community and dive into the game! If you have any questions, please let us know and we will be glad to assist.
