Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions regarding rules and procedures here on A Legend Reborn...
How do I use Proboards v5? I don't have experience with this kind of forum.
Proboards v5 is not as difficult as many might be led to believe. Different? Yes, very much so. Using PB5 is much like it used to be, with different registration procedures and coding options. As far as registration and login goes, Proboards utilizes a global account feature, which means that all accounts registered under the same e-mail address can be switched between with ease. With coding, Proboards has essentially created a mix between old PB coding and dohtml. For further questions, please feel free to ask a staff member to help you out.
I want to make a new character! Can I make them right now?
Well, that depends. If you already have another character, check the Characters and Accounts section of the rules. If you've already met those requirements, then great! The answer is yes, you can make a new character. These requirements are just to ensure that every character gains a solid footing before their player goes dashing off to create someone else. If you haven't met those requirements, then no, unfortunately you'll have to wait until you do.
How about an original pureblooded Death Eater character? I want to make someone that was so-and-so's daughter and give them-
Hold on, hold on. There's two things that one has to consider when making a character. First of all - is it banned? While currently original Death Eaters are not, purebloods are a status of wizard that need to be dealt with carefully. You have to remember - we're going by Harry Potter canon. While pureblood characters do indeed exist and they have decent numbers, you have to be careful about what family you place them in and if it's realistic that family would have an original character among its ranks. As for Death Eaters or Death Eater sympathizers, we welcome them in droves. As for the second part, when you're making characters with connections to previously established charries, you'd better make sure your character is either for a wanted ad and that the player of the other charrie has given you clearance, unless it's canon.
What are subplots and how do you apply for them like the Storyline board says?
That's a feature that will be coming soon once the site gets on its feet. You'll just have to wait and see, eh?
What's all this about a bank and Galleons and wages?
Oh! Fun stuff, right. Well, when your character works, they have a job and jobs give pay don't they? Here on A Legend Reborn we utilize a banking system that allows your character to make money so you can use it to buy special objects around the site. What can you buy? That's another feature coming soon once the site gets moving and there would actually be things worth purchasing.
