Talk about the Role play, real life, or possible story lines here. Please follow all the rules that are in the rules page, and please try to be respectful to your fellow players. Guest are welcome to post comments and ask questions here as well (Because that is the only way the FAQ can grow).
I would also like to request that you introduce yourself with your first name when you join the site. It's just easier to say "Ash plays: Glory, Naida, and Nathan." Instead of "Nathan plays: Nathan, Glory, and Naida," because if Nathan were to die or get deleted it would confuse a lot of people. I think you get the idea. I hope you have fun, and I can't wait to see you in game.
My name is Ash (Ashton), and I am the creator and Admin of Former Glory.
The site is now open and ready for role playing. It is still currently in Beta and needs a bit of work to grow, but for the most part it is complete. During this time I will be editing the site to help weed out anything that doesn't belong or fixing small details I may have missed.
Everyone who comes to view the site may sign up and you can go on and get your characters set up and start role playing. If you have any questions you may post in here to ask them, guest may post as well and you don't need to sign up or anything.
If you find any flaws or mistakes feel free to point them out.
Alright, I hope you enjoy everything that Former Glory has to offer. I look forward to role playing with you all. ;D

Heya, I have a couple questions before I go about making my character.
I made my account name with a 'metaphor' as you called it, because I couldn't use the spacebar during name creation. Could I get a name change WITH a space in between the name and the last name?
Second, I may or may not have messed up my gender-- profile info isn't in character, is it? If it's not, do I get to become male again? EDIT: I am male again. No worries here
Uh... Yeah! I read in the FAQ that you roll for a power/weakness. Should I do that with some online dice or will you?
After having my character get accepted, do I just jump into the whole approach a teacher thread?
I'm working on a character sheet and I'd really love to know all this prior to sending it to you. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for asking the questions now instead of after making the bio. I can edit your name and add spaces, just like the characters that are already made in the "Hydra database". Just tell me the name you want and I'll change it for you. As for your gender, I'm not sure. I'll take a look in the Admin CP and see if it will let me alter it. If I can I'll go do that now. And no, your profile account info is not used for in character, so you don't have to worry too much about it.
For your super powers/weakness the dice log is on the left side bar at the very top, click on the picture to go to the site. I will have to add you to the log by entering your email address. I'll go and do that now. Read: HERE for more information about the dice log, it should tell most of the things you need to know to get it set up. You can go on and roll for your power now.
As for your weakness you can either do that now or wait for the tutorial. If you roll for your weakness now just make sure that you don't add it to you bio. No one else is suppose to know what it is except for me (Admin) and you. Write down your weakness on a notepad or save it on your computer or something.
And lastly, about jumping into the tutorial: Yes. As soon as I accept your bio you can go on and talk to the teacher from one of the three jobs. Hope that answered everything. If you need help with anything else feel free to ask.

Rolls are set, I'll be working on my account tomorrow morning most likely. I know it's 24 hours but I was waiting on your reply and I think I've proved that, if I'm a bot, I'm a least a pretty advanced one eh?
Indeed, smartest bot I've ever met! ;D In the PM I said I was going to put the instructions for signing up in the getting started post, and although it is in there, it is under the rules page. I decided to put it with the life skills and battle rules instructions to keep everything nice and neat. I'm going to go make an announcement about it real fast, then I'm calling it a night. See? This is why it's always good to build a site with another person. If you do stuff alone you always miss something. Thanks for pointing it out to me, you just helped the site to grow. See ya in the morning.

@aileana: Well, looks like for the most part you understand everything about the site. This is the first time I have tested the tutorial, for the most part I think it is in working order. I've made a few changes to adjust to your character and writing style. For the most part you are almost done. All you have to learn about is combat and you'll be able to be free in the world.
On a side note, are you planning to bring your other evil character back? I kinda liked his bio. XD We need more evil people in role plays, no one ever likes to play evil.
Alright, it's late. I'm going to bed now. *Instantly Collapses into sleep.*

Hello, and good afternoon to everyone.
I'm going to be using this account when posting anything out of character, and unrelated to site updates. Nathan and Naida will be the two characters that I will be playing the most. And as the post said above, my name is Ash, and I am the site Admin. I play the following characters on the site:
Nathan Baris, Naida Baris, Mr. Rycroft, Glory, Powerflux, Jason Boone, Carson Wylde, Jack Bennett, And any NPCs that pop up along the way.
For the most part my characters will be supporting characters to help fill in small gaps of the story that the players wouldn't be able to access or find. Meaning, I'm going to do more Admin/Game master stuff, more then everyday role playing. My characters will be the small link to help the story progress at key moments in the game.
I would now like to take this time to welcome our newest member to the site. Thanks for joining, I hope you have fun here! For those of you who have not yet added a picture to their bio here is a link: Click here And in case the post gets bumped away by other posts, I have added this link on the "Getting started" Bio page. The link I added has realistic looking pictures and cartoon/anime pictures. I'm sure you can find something on the line of what you are looking for.
Alright, I'll see you all later. I'll check back from time to time to post.
