Right, I'm new here and I have a few questions.
1. How do I post an avatar? I've tried everything and I still can't put one up. Can anyone help me out? (Maybe show me an example?)
2. What are the guidelines for a character, do I have to be from Transylvania or can they be from somewhere else (i.e. Norway) and does he/she have to worship Tor, Fenris, Wolfbane, or Zostar (I've read the book, but I'm just a tad curious)? Because I was thinking about either Garm, Freke, or Gere from Asguardian mythology.
3. You are only allowed to have one character, right?
4. One more thing, how do I join a pack? Do I start out as a puppy (literally) or something?

Welcome.
1. To answer your first question, if you go into your profile there will be a place that says avatar. You can either pick from that selection or put up your own. To put up your own, find a picture online that you like. Put in the URL address and click on the little box next to it. A check mark will appear. Then choose the size you want your picture to be. I sujest 100 by 100.
2. I believe they do not have to be from Transylvania, but I would sujest that they be somewhere near there just to keep this site more realistic. But Norway sounds alright to me, the admins can fill you out on the details. No, you don't have to worship any of the lords.
3. You can have more than one, but to exactally how many I'm not sure.
4. I suppose you don't have to be a puppy to join. However you must at least be of puppy age. Adults may enter packs as well. And of course, newborns can be born into a pack.

Mind giving an example of a URL? I keep trying to load mine from my documents, but it won't let me.

Just to fill in a few extra details...
1. Couldn't have said better myself!
2. Again, Nighteyes is quite right. We have/had several wolves that didn't orginate from Translyvania. Norway is definately ok, we only tend to get a bit iffy when you suggest the artic, or north america. Unless you can come up with a damned good reason why your in Translyvania, after crossing a rather large ocean, then we tend to say no...but Norway is good. About the Gods though, again, Nighteyes is quite right, you don't have to worship the Sights convential Gods (though why you wouldn't want to worship me, I don't know *g*) My only concern is why a wolf would be worshipping what would be in essence, a human deity, but in all honesty, I can't see that becoming a problem. (Well it could, if you try to steal away my darling worshippers, but you won't do that, will ya )
3. As a general rule of thumb, you can have as many as you want, PROVIDED you keep them all active. Three is generally a good number, as many more and most RPers tend to favour one more than the others, and neglect the rest. But it's up to you. If you're happy to handle six characters and keep them all active, then feel free.
4. Despite what your rank says, you don't have to RP a pup or newborn. Understandably, this gets quite awkward if your not 'local' (Why would a newborn by travelling south?) With that in mind, it was decided that you could RP any age, provided, particulalrly when battling, you kept your actual status in mind. For example, an adult wolf with a newborn status will get thwaped by an adult wolf with a sikla status. To join a pack, your status must be puppy (20 posts), though your character needn't be.
Hope that helps! Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions. Welcome to the Sight!
