First, you e-mail the Moderator with your character concept... name, appearance, what they do, how involved they are with the mythos and the occult, things like that. Pictures are always welcome as attachments.
The concept needs to have AT LEAST the following basic information:
Character Name
Character Appearance
Character's Job
Has the character been involved with the Mythos?
(Preferably not... don't want too many insane experts of all things Eldritch and Spooky running around)
What type of equipment does the Character usually carry?
What does the Character do for fun?
Any information over and above this is admirable and welcome. Once you have submitted your character concept, then you need to join the New Hamelin Onelist community, using this link.
When you join Onelist, or when existing Onelist members sign up for the New Hamelin list, PLEASE use the same e-mail address that you used when submitting your character concept... makes things a LOT easier for me. I'll review the submissions no less than once a day.
Why would I NOT approve someone for the list? Very few reasons, actually... there's room for all kinds in a town like New Hamelin. I'd like to see a limited number of "I can kill anything" Cyborgs with built in Anti-Tank weapons and Kung-Fu grip, even though they taste the same as accountants to the great Cthulhu (even if they're crunchier).
Once I get your submission to the Onelist group, and approve it... that's it... pick a Story Seed from the Rumor Mill and Story Seed Page, and start writing!
Again, if there are any questions about the world, specific places in New Hamelin, interaction with other characters, or the like, E-Mail the Moderator
