Q: I want to play! How do I start? A: Great! We're glad to have you. To get started, read through this FAQ, read through ALL of the rules, and visit the other pages on the Welcome Board. These pages contain critical information on the world that will help you build your character. After that, create a username for your character (if you haven't already), head on over to the Application section of the board and fill out a character application. Q: Do I need to have a username for each character? A: Yes. Make sure each character's username is "First Name (space) Last Name" - you don't need to include a middle name. Also, you don't need to make a username for yourself. Q: Do I have to fill out an application before I start playing? A: Yes. It's not tough to answer the questions, though! Most of them only require a few words or a few sentences - although it's in your best interests to be as complete as possible. Q: What if I don't know my character's whole history yet? A: That's okay. You can add things later. Please make your character's history on your application as complete as possible, though. If you do add history details to your character, it's a good idea to edit your application to include them as well - that way anyone who looks at your character's application as a reference will have a more complete picture! Q: Can I bring in a character from another RPG? A: Yes. However, please ensure their history and personal details fits the current RPG and make edits where necessary. Q: I want to bring in my favorite/signature character, but they won't fit because of one of your restrictions! Will you change it so I can bring them in? A: No, and please don't ask us to do this. Q: Can my character be from Earth? A: Yes. The world of Nature of the Beast IS an alternate Earth, however you do need to read up and make sure you know how the details of this Earth works. This is not a contemporary setting. Q: Can my character have special abilities, like psychic powers, witchcraft, etc.? A: At this time, no. Q: Can I borrow a character from a book/TV show/movie/manga/etc.? A: No. This RPG is exclusively for original characters. However, you can use their PB if it isn't already taken, and you can create a character based on them if you like. About Claims Q: What's a 'Face Claim' and why do I have to make one? A: A face claim is a short application filled out on the Face Claims board that marks a particular person's appearance as your character on this board. Making a face claim on NotB does not reserve that person on any other RPG. A face can only be claimed by one character - with the exception of identical twins. Faces are subject to availability, so always be sure to check what's been claimed before you pick out a person. Face claims are also often called "PB's," which is short for "Played-Bys." If NotB were a movie, your character would be "played by" the actor/actress/musician/celebrity/model/etc. you claimed. Please see the Rules for more information about face claims. Q: Can I claim my own face for a character? A: No. You cannot claim your own face for a character, and you cannot claim friends, relatives, or acquaintances. Don't be a creeper. Q: What's a Business Claim? Do I need one? A: If your character owns a business, fill out the application on the Business Claim thread and post it. We'll make a board for your character's business, so that you and other characters can now play there! Q: What's a Property Claim? Do I need one? A: Yes, if you'd like your character to be able to open RP threads in his or her home! Whether an apartment or a house, fill out the Housing Application and post it on the thread. We'll make you a board under "Private Spaces" so that you and other characters can play there! About Geis Q: What does "Geis" mean? Does my character have to have one? A: A character's Geis is the animal they can transform into. There are different in-game schools of thought on what a Geis actually is. Click here for more specific Geis information. Q: How do I choose a Geis for my character? A: Your character's Geis is linked to their personality. Choose an animal with traits that suit your character best. Need help? Click here. Q: Can my character lose their Geis? A: No. If your character has a Geis, they will always have one. Your character can always choose not to transform into their Geis, however. Q: Can my character be born without a Geis? A: Yes, if your character was born to parents who also lack Geis. Click here for more information. Q: There's no animal that suits my character. Can I make one up? A: No. Edited by Tristan Toretto, Sep 9 2011, 09:56 AM.
