Step 1: Setting up the Basics
(A forum account must be created before you begin. Please click on the forum link to the left and set up an account.)
You cannot start Official RPs and jobs until you have set up your inventory (top of the bank account), your bank account, and your Signature. Even if you do not become a pilot on your first try, you can do missions and train in skills.
Everyone starts out as a citizen of the ZBC. The follow is a list of starting equipment you get courtesy of the ZBC upon signing up as a civilian (which you automatically become when you sign up on the boards) or you can work it into your profile. You also get to choose one, two, or three starting skills. You will have 50 points total to distribute between them. You don't have to pick three. You can pick only one starting at 50 if you want or balance them out, it's your choice. (starting skills will be discussed later):
Plain long-sleeve shirt (any color) Plain pants or plain long skirt (any color) Leather Belt (any color) Plain shoes (any color) 6" fixed knife w/ sheath Data pad with remote access to ZBC Public Access Terminal All Terrain Transport $20,000
Skill 1: (any) + points + skill starting item Skill 2: (if any) + points + skill starting item Skill 3: (if any) + points + skill starting item
*Note: All starting equipment has no minimum skill requirements. If you buy another of these items in the marketplace, you will likely have to have a minimum skill to use it.
All clothing and equipment must be listed at the top of your bank account, (example). A brief description of your character is also helpful but not required.
So, set up an account at the ZBC National Bank and record this data. Make sure to read the rules in the account forum to find out exactly how to post.
But where's my zoid, you may ask? Well you don't just get a Zoid license without any application process. Plus, you must buy your first Zoid. If you wish to become a pilot and get a Zoid license, the following information must be sent to tarsuszau@hotmail.com
Board name: (nothing offensive) Character name: (nothing offensive, no mainstream anime names) Mother: name (nothing offensive)/ Age / Occupation Father: name (nothing offensive) / Age / Occupation AIM name: (AIM is required to battle) Address: (made up but must be an apartment in Ronway, Delpoi) Char. date of birth: (we will use the real date for our dates to avoid confusion) Sex: (no funny stuff here) Complexion: (Skin tone) Hair: (whatever color(s) you want/style) Eyes: (whatever color(s) you want) Height: (anything between 2-8ft, be midget for all I care) Weight: (anything within reason, in lbs) Build: (slim, fat, muscular, etc) Pets: (if any, non exotic, stick to the basics) Skill 1: (any) Skill 2: (if any) Skill 3: (if any) Background description: (where you're from if not here, why you have little items and cash, what your hopes and dreams are, how you acquired the two skills you have etc.)
*Note: Read the RP rules first.
Example:
Board name: Backinblack Character name: Angus Mother: Tara/dead/Seamstress Father: Cyrus/54/Programmer AIM name: acdc8374 Address: 8463 Forrest Lane apt 501 Ronway, Delpoi, 72945 Char. DOB: Feb. 5, 1986 Sex: Male Complexion: light Hair: Black with white streaks/long to the shoulders Eyes: Right eye green, no left eye. Height: 6'5 Weight: 176lbs Build: slim Pets: none Skill 1: Small Arms Skill 2: Computers Background description:
Angus grew up in the town of Odin with his father Cyrus. His mother died when he was young and his father never remarried. Angus grew up alone in Odin as his father worked most of the day in a small software company in Ronway. The family only had one zoid, a Gustav, modified for personnel transport. His father would often take people to the city as most people in the town didn't have a zoid at all. It brought in extra cash, but still didn't even bring them above the poverty line. Angus sometimes went with his father to the software company and pick up some of his father's skills. He quickly learned the basics of programming and even a little hacking. He could access control functions of many sites using simply a data pad, but never actually discovered his full potential. In Odin, he also learned another useful skill, shooting. The family owned a pair of old 9 mm handguns from long ago. They were kept in good condition, as Angus would always clean them after his frequent trips to the shooting range. At the age of 18, he finally left Odin and moved to Ronway, in hopes of becoming a great zoid pilot. With only $20,000 and only a small set of items, he knew his journey would prove difficult and challenging.
Applying to become a pilot does not guarantee a license however. You must prove you can role-play well based on either you background description or actual role-playing on the continents. Remember, if you role play before you become a pilot, you will not own a Zoid but will be able to travel using your all terrain transport. If you do become a pilot, you will recieve notification via e-mail or pm. If you become accepted you are required to add the item "Zoid License level 2" to your inventory (top of bank account).
Step 2: Read the Rules
Read them and abide by them. Simple eh? Rules
Step 3: Setting up your Signature
Every citizen and pilot alike, is required to keep their basic information in their signature. Even if some information does not apply, the template needs to be there. The following is what information must be present:
Name Team Status (if your currently in training, a job, or free) Funds Class,points Seasonal Record (w/l/t) Overall Record (w/l/t) Aim
Zoid1 Mods
Weapons Armor Skills
Signatures must be updated regularly. As all transactions and battle transcripts are recorded, signatures will be randomly checked. An example of a sig is below...my sig.
Name: Tarsus Team: None Status: Free Funds: $20,000 Class: 5th, (0.0) Seasonal Record (w/l/t): 0/0/0 Overall Record (w/l/t): 0/0/0 Aim: tarsus007
Zoid1: Helcat Mods: None Status: Ready (w/l/t): 0/0/0
Weapons: 6" Knife, 92FS 9mm Armor: none Skills: Small Arms (25), Leadership (25)
