Welcome to Surrender Dawn. Before starting your journey, make sure that you read everything that's on the Beginner's Guide Board:
First, make sure that you get to know the rules by which we manage our site and community.
For this, visit the Guide to Rules.
After that, it's fundamental to read all that there is to know about the world your character will be inserted into.
In order to do so, go to the Guide to Lore.
Lastly, please take a close look at all the mechanics that dictate our roleplay and its characters.
You can do this by checking out the Guide to Mechanics.
When you've done all of the above, you'll most likely be ready to start creating your character:
Create your Application Thread on the Character Creation Board.
To do so, follow the instructions on the Character Application Template Thread.
Once you're done, just copy the link of the thread and head over to the Grading Center.

hi everyone!!! [break]
[attr=class,wpeep]activity level
low - approx. 1 post a week :') [break]
[attr=class,wpeep]let's plot
pm me on discord! idk how to plot through proboards threads askjfsadf

PLOTTING
shared history makes my heart sing! it's easier for me to help brainstorm plot ideas if our chars can start off already knowing each other in some way. even better if they have opposing goals >:]
[attr=class,ship]
THREADING
i like talking about plots before talking about threads!![break][break] if i ask to thread with your char and you don’t think the timing is right, i promise to give you space, i.e. i won't harangue you by asking twice. instead, i'll wait for you to reach back! and likewise, i'd appreciate the same gesture in return :')

FEEDBACK
defs not something i’m gonna push onto people, but if you’re interested in peer reviewing each other’s posts/threads, i’m super down!! i’ve been hankering for some feedback exchange
[break][break]
[attr=class,headb]threads are great
[attr=class,headb]overview
doing my best to continuously improve, but i try to optimize for replyability! as in, writing posts are easy to respond to. i’m experimenting with trimming down on fluff and backstory while bulking up on action, dialogue, and conflict. the last question i want in your head is “huh… what should my char do now?”
[attr=class,headb]objectives-driven
completing missions and goals is my jam!! i looove threads where each char has something they’re tryna accomplish. whether those objectives align or conflict is totally a matter of spiciness
[attr=class,headb]intros
not the biggest fan of intro threads, but i'm sure we can find ways to add spice!
[attr=class,headb]combat
i think i struggle with combat threads, but that doesn’t mean i won’t try :’) i do admittedly prefer predetermined outcomes though, to give each char a chance to do badass things without rpers getting nervous about pushing bounds
an idealist who left his temple to become a vagrant and serve the underprivileged [break][break] suffers froma bad case of rbf
[attr=class,headb]whereabouts

TRAINS probably
FUMEHAT heck ya
VANTALUX sure
THE WHARF why not
HAVEN rarely
THE OUTLANDS in his spare time
[attr=class,motives]motivations
his mom is sick and barely hanging in there, he needs to find a treatment asap!!
would be great to have a PC be the reason why curing his mom is so dang tough. hoarding a monopoly on medicine? bioterrorism in haven?? slow assassination???
a human trafficking ring once funneled emes to his temple. that particular arm dissolved, so now he’s on the hunt to cut off the head.
i c u with ur tragic childhoods, come finish what u started
intercity trains are great for the haves, but inaccessible to the have-nots. someone’s gotta tame the spooky outlands and pave fresh roads for all to use.
pls bully him. we need scary baddies. throw your baddies at asha so they can get scary. he's a big derp so trust me ur chars will leave unscathed and with high bounty wink wink
misc
he doesn't know how to mind his own business, so it's very easy for him to get all up in yours
note still a wip!! pls dm me with plots so i can finagle your chars into her history and vice versa :U [break]
[attr=class,headb]about

TRAINS not often
FUMEHAT yep

THE WHARF frequently
HAVEN on business
THE OUTLANDS o yeahhh
[attr=class,motives]motivations
hide yo kids, hide yo… other kids. tryna eradicate vels? same. it ain't easy finding a cure. the world is sick and barely hanging in there, she needs to find a treatment asap!!
i c u with ur tragic childhoods, maybe she's the reason for it??
emes suck! wait, no they don't, vels suck. emes use 'em tho. grrr.
she'll fite enforcers, hunters, vagrants. square up, thot. she'll also stalk the hell outta any rando who has a vel, just to throw fists against usage
some dumbo operative killed her sister
she'll fite operatives too
not a one-woman show
she needs a boss, some colleagues, a fellow kidnapping buddy, anybody. bueller. bueller.
misc
if someone has a baddie-shaped hole in their histories/plots, sudo will gladly take those spots
