Player Information, Character Creation
The first step in your application process is to submit your SL avatar information including name, email address
A full character biography must then be submitted with all fields fully completed. Character biographies generally take several days to create so please take your time before finalizing your submission. If you have any questions about a bio field or are unsure what it means, please contact the Senior Solaris Command Staff
An original sample post is also required (500-1000 words) in which you'll role-play one of four given scenarios on your own. We love meeting new writers and seeing their literary styles, and this allows us to get a feel for your strengths and weaknesses. Storytelling, spelling, grammar and punctuation are atop the list of quality writing skills we value.
Character Review
Following initial application submission, the Command Staff will contact you via email or inworld within 24 hours to review your character biography and provide feedback. This is also a chance for us to get to know you and answer any questions you may have about Solaris and its structure. We'd like to know who you are, what (if any) prior experience you have in inworld and online role-play, as well as your extra interests.
