The Deserted Sandbox

[Jynxii]

Alrighty! So this is the OOC board. This is where you would come to reserve a character, which are usually listed on that main page you just came from. If no face-claim is listed, then you would offer your face-claim here in your reservation to join the role play.

So, go ahead and post here your reservation! It should include a greeting, the role you'd like.. for us, let's say "Castaway 1"... and the faceclaim you would like to use. I will post a reservation like someone else would, to give you an example.

People usually like to reserve with a gif picture of the character they're intending on using-- if one is not provided by the GM. To do this you type [img]to begin your code. Paste the URL of your gif or image. Then, in brackets not quotes, type"/img" to close the code -- this will create the picture. It should look like this:

Code: Select all

[img]URLhere[/img]

A good GM will respond to your reservation request to let you know the spot is either being held for you, or is already taken-- depending on if it's a first-come, first-serve, or an open-application where a GM might accept multiple applications for one role, and pick the 'best' among them.

Once you've reserved your character, start working on the character sheet!

This is an example reservation:

---

Hey! I'd like to reserve Castaway 2, please! I'd like to use the FC: Lily Collins, if that's alright?

---

As you can see, I've used a gif that clearly shows the FC (facelcaim)'s face. As a personal preference, I like to use gifs that fit with the setting and style of the roleplay. For example, I would not pick gifs from Lily Collins playing Snow White, because her outfits, makeup and overall style don't match with the setting (for us, a deserted island in a modern-day, post-plane crash) or character I'm going to be writing about.

It's something to keep in mind when you're looking to make your character blend into the lore and setting of whatever story you're joining.
