How to make your way around
Avelle

[/b]Hello!
If you’re new to this website, this post will show you around and let you know how to get started on the game.

First familiarise yourself with the tabs at the top of the screen- get to know what boards lie where.

Then read the site rules and overview of the country.

Next, submit a character, and test it out on the practice roleplay board.

After this the sky's your limit! Join plots, create packs/herds, explore Avelle, make friends and have a great time! Read below for useful links.




Useful links
Rules+Overview
Start off with reading these posts (though you should have before you joined hehe) to find out how you’ll be expected to behave on our forum, as well as the basic guidelines of the game. You’ll want to read a bit about the country of Avelle.

Roleplaying guide
If you’ve never roleplayed before, or you’d like to brush up on the basics, check out this post which will teach you the basics of posting in a story. New Avellians who are experienced roleplayers might like to skim through this thread to find out our suggestions on writing (including godmodding, which person/tense to write in, etc.).

Practice Roleplay board
Read the RPing guide and not feeling quite confident enough to leap into an ongoing plot? Never fear! This board allows new players to experiment with writing, and create beginner roleplays. You may use this board to practice writing out new characters also. After a thread reaches two successful pages, it will be locked and you’ll be ready to make it into the big wide world of Avelle!

Folklore
Read up on the Avellians’ beliefs and culture. Here lie accounts of the various spirits and deities that form a part of the lives of all Avellian creatures. This also explains the backstory to Avelle.

Species index
Read up on the species and breeds of animals that live in Avelle, and find out which location they live in as well as other facts about them. The index is broken up into parts for each of the five intelligent species, as well as a list of some of the other species that inhabit Avelle (these cannot be RPed). You can find blank templates here to colour and design your own character.

Character creation
Come here to submit your character! Use the provided template to write a description of your character. Once it's been accepted by the staff, you can start playing.

OOC boards
Here you can chat about Avelle, plot posts, show others your art, play forum games and talk about anything else!
