Welcome Polaris! Spirits of the Earth is one of the oldest and longest running all ages free form fantasy RP sites on the internet, quickly approaching its twentieth birthday. We're happy to have you and hope that you find SotE as warm and welcoming as we think it is. [emoji6]
A wants and Limits page is of course a great way to start, and a character catalogue is a great next step. First things first though, you should check out the site rules, and of course the canonical lore of our unique world. I'd link them for you here but I'm currently using Tapatalk on mobile so it makes it a bit harder. You'll find links to both near the top of the site. There are a lot of secret things in the works as well, such as an expansion to the lore on a few of our countries, and some new unique takes on fantasy races that we all know and love. The community is pretty open and accepting, so feel free to pop in wherever you find yourself comfortable. And if you haven't already, be sure to check out our community Discord server. It's a fun place to hang out and get to know people from the community. Most of our members are active there, but not everyone is, so don't feel pressured to join if it's not your thing. Happy writing!
