Greetings reader, we want to thank you for joining Thoirnisk! We welcome you with open arms into our community and family and hope you enjoy the site! To kick things off, we recommend opening another tab and reading this as you go to help you better understand the site and the game itself. The best thing to begin with first, is to introduce yourself on the introductions board. This can be found by clicking 'Other' and then clicking 'Introductions'. Once done, you can go back, click 'Chat' and maybe introduce yourself and get to know anyone whose online there. Another way to access this is by clicking 'Chat' on the navigation bar. |

PROFILE
Next, it's time to edit your profile. If you look at the navigation bar at the top of your screen you'll see 'Profile'. Here, you can edit almost everything you wish to customize your profile.
>>>Avatar Tab
You should start on the 'Avatar' tab. The dimensions for avatars are 200 height by 133 width. If you use the upload option, the avatar will be automatically resized to proboards default of 150x150. Therefore, if you want the correct dimensions for your avatar, it is highly recommended you use a image hosting website such as Photobucket and use the linked option.
Once you have used your option, make sure you click 'Save Avatar Changes'. Otherwise, everything else you've done will be wiped away.>>>Personal TabThe next tab we're going to cover is the Personal Tab.
Here, you will first see your Display Name. Remember, each account you make is assigned for each separate character, except for Moderators and Administrators. Make sure your display name matches up with your character's name. You can always create another character by creating another account which we will cover later.
We're going to Played By as the rest is self explanatory. The Played By text field is your OOC name that shows up underneath your posts and your total Soul Sapphires (will explain later as well).
Next, is your Music text area. If you hover over my... we'll call it 'Big Avatar' for now... and look at the bottom you'll see a play button and a slider. If you click play, you should begin to hear a song begin to play. This is where that music text area comes in. You can put any music here but I have used it as a theme song area for my profile and my character's profiles. You have to put a .mp3 file link in here. It has to end in .mp3.
I used Kiwi6.com to host my
Remember just previously how I said my 'Big Avatar'? This is called my Background Image and is where the next text area comes in. This is the image that, by default, is the black and white pine trees. The dimensions are 220 x 376 if you wish to make your own. There is a thread here where you can request a custom one for you if the thread is open.
>>>Settings Tab
The last thing I'm going to cover here is the Posting Default as the rest is self-explanatory.
Whenever you go to post, there is two settings which you can switch between. The 'Preview' mode and the BBCode mode.
Preview mode is basically how the BBCode will look when it's posted where as the BBCode option is the actual coding.
This option on you're profile is pretty nifty is you have a custom post template. If you want you're template to show up each time you go to post, click the BBCode option and a default BBCode box should pop up. If you paste your Post Template code into this box, it will show up every time you post.

CHARACTER SHEET
Phew, now that that's over, you get to make your character sheet which will be basically like the profile for your character. So you'll simply make a thread on your character's account (should be your active account) and follow the rules posted there.
This can be designed anyway and YOU get to personalize it. It doesn't even have to be in form format as long as all needed information is there!
Please note, we like to take sledgehammers to any powerplay or godmode characters.  Bear this in mind when fleshing him or her out. Remember, flaws are key to an interesting plot. |
