❯ Getting started
As joining a new roleplay with a new layout and all that jazz can definitely be confusing, we've put together a little Getting Started guide for members who aren't sure where to begin or confused as to what they should do next.
If you have any questions, ask in the shoutbox or message a staff member directly!
Once you've decided on a character, you can click "Switch Accounts" in the navigation bar and create your IC account from there. You'll have the option to edit your Personal settings when you go to "Edit Profile". Please make your IC display name your character's first and last name! If they have no surname, just use their first. The rest is relatively self-explanatory, simply fill out the other fields accordingly.
NOTE: 250x350 Images MUST BE STATIC, meaning they cannot be gifs! If you have a gif as your 250x350 Image, it will be removed.
First thing's first, you'll need to fill out an application form. It should be pretty self-explanatory, but if you have any questions about it don't hesitate to ask! Once you've completed your application, you must go into the notification thread with a link to the app, so the staff members are informed of your completion.
NOTE: Once you complete your application and it is accepted, the thread will be locked. In order to make edits to the app, please follow the steps within the edited applications thread.
That concludes the Getting Started guide. Hopefully it helps, and if not, then remember you can always ask staff and other members for clarification if you have any questions!

CREATING YOUR ACCOUNTS
PUF is set up in a way that divides IC and OOC accounts, to make everything more organized and hopefully easier to deal with. To start off, the first account you should make is your OOC account. This will be the account you use to post applications and interact OOCly with the rest of the community.Once you've decided on a character, you can click "Switch Accounts" in the navigation bar and create your IC account from there. You'll have the option to edit your Personal settings when you go to "Edit Profile". Please make your IC display name your character's first and last name!
