Character Sheets and Creation
1. To submit characters or ask questions click on the 'Request Access' link in the lower right-hand corner of the Game Menu page
2. You may create your own character or adopt one that already exists as an adoptable, which can be found on the adoptables page.
3. Candidates for fighting dragons can stand from 12 to 22.
4. Queen candidates can stand any time from 18-30.
5. Characters don't need to be from an established or "known" hold, there are many on Pern that don't get mentioned a lot if at all.
6. All crafters will start as Apprentices unless specifically requested and approved. Further more, advancement will be rped and bestowed in game and Journeymen will be expected to 'journey' at least part of the time.

Character Descriptions on RPOL
Your personal character description (the one that appears only if someone click on your char image) can be whatever you want, but I am chosing to uniformalize the comment lines that appear when you post.
Riders/Weyrlings
Line 1: The Weyr you are associated with and rank within (ie Weyrling, Weyrwoman, Weyrleader, Wingleader, Wingsecond, etc)
Line 2: Your dragon's color and name
for example the lines for Tolira should be:
Ista Weyr Senior Weyrwoman
Gold Ronalth
Canidates (only those at the Weyr)
Line 1: The Weyr you're at followed by "Candidate"
Line 2: gender and age
for example the lines for Rylon should be:
Ista Weyr Candidate
Male 12
Crafters
Line 1: The hold you're at
Line 2: Craft rank
for example Haley's lines should be:
Igen Hold
Harper Journeywoman
Holders
Line 1: the hold you're at
Line 2: rank within the hold
for example Rache's lines should be:
Igen Hold
Cook
I'm sorry if this seems to stifle anyone's creativity, but uniformality is good because it allows new people to quickly and easily asses who's what and where.
*this is the only case in which you can pseudo-select your dragon's color. I know that some people want to specifically be searched for one or the other and if that's the case you need to tell me up front so that I don't accidentally search you for the other.
