Guidebook
Before making your character, there are a few things to keep in mind...
No Application
There is no application! Just hop right into roleplay after creating a linked account, but make sure to consider the information below.
Passage of Time
Beast of Beyond's passage of time is based on real life and has a few specifications
- Timeline: Since the passage of time is based on real time, all dates match up in roleplay. One real day = one in-character day for your character.
- Timezone: BoB is based on GMT-4, but date is more important than time to many users. Describing the time of day in your thread helps with this.
- Liquid time: Our RP allows for liquid time where your character can be roleplayed in multiple threads per day. Inconsistent posts, such as a major event posted in a previous thread, may need to be adjusted or voided, but is mostly excused. Just make sure threads that occur AFTER that event's post are not disregarded.
- Aging: Aging happens in real time, but children are more than welcome to be aged up to adolescence to avoid the awkward child phase.
Character Creation
Beasts of Beyond allows for a wide scope of custom characters to be accepted. All realistic animals are accepted, but mythical, hybrid, and extinct creatures are sold in the shop for gems. Along with that, all characters are allowed to have animal-based mutations, such as horns, gills, or vampirism, or recolored body parts with no purchase necessary. Other mutations and powers can be purchased in the shop. Along with this, characters are able to have accessories and clothing pieces that can be reasonably crafted or found in the territory. That said, when creating a character, there are a few aspects to consider:
- Name
- Sex/Gender
- Age
- Species
- Appearance
- Personality
- Mutations / Powers
Linked Character Account Registration
After creating a master account, you can begin creating character accounts.
- Step 1: Head to your user settings. This is found next your avatar in the header.
- Step 2: Scroll down to 'Miscellaneous' and click on 'Create New Character.'
- Step 3: Pick a username (preferably your character's name) and password for your account.
- Step 4: Select 'Character' from the 'Account Type' section. This will give you access to character-exclusive profile fields.
- Step 5: Specify your character's gender and pronouns.
- Step 6: Submit your character!
- Step 7: To switch over to your character's account, head up to where you found 'User Settings' previously and press 'Attached Accounts.' A dropdown should pop up with your character's username. Clicking that will switch you to their account. You can also switch back to your main account the same way.
