Sup!
Welcome to the site! I used to be a wandering RPer like you, (is there a word for that? Something like a Ronin?) but this place very quickly became my home for RPing. So hopefully it will for you too! Just gotta tell ya that this place is great, not going to beat a dead horse (WE ARE ACTIVE!) but if you have any questions feel free to either ask it in the CBox, where I am sure someone will be able to help or point you in the right direction, or you can PM any of our older and helpful players, I would suggest either Visualspice, GoblinFae, Winters-Feather, Zozee9, Paradox, Rhi-Rhi, Tally, or myself for questions.
A great way to get yourself started here is to just throw your lot it and join a character, the easiest way to do that is read up on our world in various places on our site or by asking questions. Once you find an area you like, make a character for that area! Any character made is instantly apart of the site Canon. Just stick to the time period, so unfortunately, no techno armored Spartans riding a T-rex. If you want a little direction and not so much of a massive would to take in on your first go, I would suggest heading over to the guild section. There you can join a character for an organization of like minded characters that fills a much smaller piece than our massive ingame world. I have a few guilds always accepting new character, The Runner's Society, Cleara Verdad, and Vigilant Shadows, but many other players have created guilds as well, such as the Pirate Crew, The Reaper's Chalice.
I really do hope you enjoy your stay, for however long it is
As Always
