The Guide For New Comers

The Guide

Welcome

Welcome to Another Life, this is the official guide and if you need help with anything this is where you will find it.

Introduction

First of all you should read the rules, which you can find in Help & Information.
After reading these you can decide if you want to be a Ready-made Character, OC or OE. A Ready-Made Character can be a police officer, doctor, etc.. An OC is a character that needs to make their way to the top but an OE just gets everything at the beginning. Please note if you want to be an OE you must have a reason in your application and not all OE's will get accepted and....
Have you decided? Great, lets move on....

Creating A Character

Make sure you have registered

So your ready to make your first character (you can make more than one)....

What do you want to be.... Teen, Child or Adult ?
Do you want to be an OC, OE or a Ready-made Character ?

Lets say you want to be a Teen who is going to work their way to the top (OC), you will need a parent or guardian (you can create another character or an NPC )(More information on NPC's later) unless you live at Lake View Orphanage. You can also ask other adults to be your Parent or Guardian.
Go to your profile page and fill in the boxes in character - Type, Gender, Birthday, Age, Location, Job, Dislike, Likes, Appearance, Dress Style & Autobiography.
Please describe your character in detail.
You have now finished the information section, move on to avatar, you can fill the rest in later....



Chose your avatar, when I look at your profile I will make sure you are the only one with that avatar, if you are not, I will need to ask you to change it.
.
Now the next step is to get approved by a member of staff....Fill out the mini application below and post it to the one that you have chosen....
