The Request Board is an area where you can post a recruiting thread for your accepted and in-progress storyline (meaning there needs to be at least 3 posts) to advertise that you are looking for more characters. (To advertise for members to start a roleplay, use the OOC and Discussion Forum proper.) Threads here are designed to help members new to the RP boards find a place to fit in and play without having to zoom all over to see who's what where and what's going on, and can also help old hats who are looking for another world to jump into without reading pages of pages of stuff on the OOC boards.

For those of you who are brand new to The Silver Millennium (RP Forum) of the Galaxy Cauldron, below are a few threads you might want to check out:
°RPG Rules and Information

°Roleplaying Section F.A.Q. - The Quick-Start Guide to the roleplaying section, with short instructional posts on where to go and what to do when you want to start roleplaying!

°Character Profile Submissions Information - Find the template to use when creating a profile for characters both Canon and Non-Canon characters, including information on how character roles are handled in our expansive, multi-universe, multi-timeline boards.

Note: the character profile templates can also be found in Canon Character Boards (where you submit your Canon profile for approval before joining an RP) and Otaku/Crossover Character Boards(where you submit Otaku or Crossover character profiles for approval before joining an RP) respectively for easy-access when creating a character; just look for the stickied (Rose) thread.

°Storyline Information - For information regarding our Storylines, the process of submitting a storyline, and a place to ask any questions you like about Storylines.

°List of Storylines - A list of all ongoing storylines, complete with short synopsis.

1. Only one Request thread allowed per storyline.
   
2. All replies must relate specifically to character claims or interest in claiming a certain character; please leave all other OOC Discussions about the storyline in the OOC and Discussion Forum.
   
3. All Request boards must follow the streamlined Request Board Template/Guidelines below; this is simply to make things easy to read without looking cluttered.
   

Failure to follow these rules will result in an RP Admin or Moderator PMing you to tell you to follow the rules. Repeat offenses will be noted.

Title of the topic: CHARACTER REQUEST: {Name of the Storyline}

{Short introduction that includes the link to your ongoing storyline.}

Your Accepted Storyline in a Spoiler Tag:

Character Key:
Linked Names are characters that have been claimed by somebody (in parenthesis) and the link takes you to the accepted profile.
Italisized Names are characters that have been reserved by somebody (in parenthesis) but their profile hasn't been accepted yet.
Bold Names are characters that are necessary to the plot and we would love for you to take.
Regular Names are characters that we would look forward to having, but as of yet have no critical part in the plotline.

Canon Characters:

Non-Canon Characters:

Then a spoiler of a quick "So far, in {The Roleplay}:

And, finally, a "Things to Know" spoiler:

{Short ending remarks reminding people that this thread is for claiming, requesting, or inquiring about a certain character, not about a discussion of the storyline in general. Maybe direct them to your OOC and Discussion thread for your RP.}

To see an example of how a Character Request board should look, this thread is formatted correctly.

Update: Issues with permissions of this board and section has been fixed. all links should work now; feel free to make a new thread in this section for your RP!

I apologize if I am putting this in the wrong place, but I noticed a couple of the links in this topic do not work for me.

• For the second link - Important Character Information - when I click on it, I get the error message 'Sorry, but only administrators can read topics in this forum.'
  
• And for the fourth link - Submitted Canon Characters - when I click on it, I get the error message 'The forum you have selected does not exist.'
  

I hope these issues can be fixed soon.  Thank you in advance.

Thank you! I'll edit the links so they work (good catch!) and then move these two messages (yours and mine) to another area to keep this thread clean. ^^
