Welcome new member! Far Away Dawn (FAD) is very excited to have you!
We know how confusing and overwhelming it can be to join a new site so this guide is in place to ease the process. Please know that we are still happy to help you if you have any questions. That's why our first suggested tip is to join our discord! We do most of our out of character (OOC) chatting there and people can quickly answer your questions. To join click the discord image link in the side box on the right side of the webpage. You can follow the steps from there.

Paw Step-by-Paw Step:
- Join the site.
- Read the Site Rules.
- Then check out the rest of the Information Board. It contains important information about our site currency system, the clans histories and descriptions. We suggests you check out The Clans first to determine which clan fits your planned characters appearance and values the closest. You could then check out the Local Fauna post to see what types of animals your character may run into there. You may also want to check out the other guides on the Guide Board. It may help with any questions you have about cat genetics or pelt patterns.
- Finally, head over to the Character Creation Board. This is where you'll find the character creation rules and the form our site uses.
- Now you can work on creating your character! You could start from scratch or check the Adoptions Board to try to join another members character family tree or adopt a kit from a bred litter. If you do this please be sure to coordinate with the member with cats up for adoption so you understand their expectations before they hand the character over to you if you're selected. This may also help you understand the characters family, history and where their plot might go from there.
- Click the "Create Thread" button on the Character Creation Board. BBCode can be a bit tricky at times for newbies, but you will want to copy and paste the form code at the bottom of the Our Form post into the text box while in the BBCode setting, not the preview one. If you don't the code will get spread out! Once you've done that you can return to the preview setting if you'd like to work on filling out the form. The formatting should remain as long as you don't backspace out the entire section you are working on.
- You can include WIP (Work in Progress) in the subject line if you would like to post your incomplete character and return to edit it later.
- Once your character is complete please make the subject your characters name followed by their clan and remove WIP. You can provide a link to the profile in the Cat Acceptance Channel of our discord and your character will be reviewed at the earliest convivence.
- If you receive feedback on your post, make the necessary edits then let us know when your character is ready for review again.
- You will receive a notice when your character has been accepted and moved to the clan listings.
- Once your character has been accepted, congratulations! You are ready to start RPing!
- Go plot with our other members and start Rping!
