This thread is for applying for you first character! Only one of these is allowed per member.
When first joining ERRA, you are allowed to create 1 mostly custom Ketep character. You have access to all base color and basic spot patterns, all except purple eye colors(heterochromia and bi-color eyes are allowed!), all nose/pad options(usually this is based on base color, but you have full choice on it for custom characters), and the Common special spot patterns(Speckled, King, Scattered, and Leopard Dog). Your Ketep's ear marking will be random and should be mostly unique to them, even if just a rather subtle difference.
You should read the Markings and Colors Guide for previews of all markings and colors available.
On approval of your application, a staff member(most likely me, to be honest XD) will come along and create your character's official reference image using the official ERRA character base. They will also assign genetics according to the character's looks.
Here's the form needed, and below I'll explain how you should fill it out!
How to Fill Out
Character Name: Here you should select a name for your character. It does not need to be lore oriented, but if you choose to do that, you can read the Lore Friendly Names guide under "Lore Guides". You are free to name them what you please, but it must be appropriate(keep it PG13, at least, okay?). If you'd like to formally have a nickname for them, feel free to include that here. Example: Talon Wing. Nickname is Talon.
Male or Female: Rather straight forward. Do you want a male or female Ketep? (Physical sex for breeding purpose. By no means needs to be what they identify themselves as.)
Base Color: Here you choose the base color. Please give the official name for the base so the staff member knows exactly which one you want. For example, don't call "Lion Tawny" the "dark one", or just call it "tawny", as there may be expansions on base colors in the future, so it's possible for some base colors to eventually have rather similar names. As of right now, there are three with "Cream" in their name, and if you say "Cream", but mean Light Cream or Golden Cream, you'll end up with the standard Cream. So, be clear in stating what base color you want in order to avoid mistakes and confusion.
Spotting Pattern: Again, you need to state the official name of the spotting pattern you wish to have.
Other Markings: You can apply to have up to 3 extra markings, and keep in mind that some may go over another. For example, all the Black Mask markings pretty much cover the same area of the face, but different amounts. It would be a waste to apply Half and Partial when you can just use the Full to get pretty much the same effect.
Undertone Markings: You can select any under of these. These are the under white/off-white markings on the face, belly, and other underside areas of the body. Again, you can preview all of them on the marking guide.
Eye Color: State rather clearly which color you want. You cannot choose Purple colors due to the rule about only Snow Ketio and hybrids having dominant copies of the gene needed for it. You can choose the "fail" Silver colors, however.
Pad/Nose Color: Once more, be specific and give the official name.
Class: Which class you want this character to belong to. This can not be changed under usual circumstances, so choose wisely! This will dictate what missions they can take part in as well as what type of quests they may get.
Short Bio: This is a short bio, roughly a paragraph long, that will be on their official character sheet.
Other Info: Any other info you'd like to place on the character sheet thread about them, such as their background/history, family, or anything along those lines.*
*Remember that story-wise, the official one at least, your first character came from Terra Fera to Utur-Vyta through the portal, as the Welcome PM talks about. This may be a good place to start if you want to expand on their bio or history ^^
