F.A.Q
Sometimes things seem a little strange if you're new, but don't panic, here's a quick F.A.Q to lend a hand. Any question not on here? Don't be afraid to ask around cause someone will hopefully know the answer!
OOC
WHAT IS AN ANIMATOR ACCOUNT?
ANIMATOR RECORDS?
GRAPHIC SIZES.
DO WE NEED FANCY TEMPLATES?
IC
WHO CAN PILOT A JAEGER?
WHAT IF MY CHARACTER DOESN'T WANT TO BE A PILOT?
WHAT IF MY CHARACTER DIES?
OOC
WHAT IS AN ANIMATOR ACCOUNT?
- Simply an animator account is an OOC account for everyone. When you sign up you should make an animator account first with your alias as the username. That account is for you to make an animator record, post your plotter whatever you like without worrying about your character accounts.
ANIMATOR RECORDS?
- Just a posh name for your scrap book - in mine I've posted my templates, gifs that relate to my characters, biographies anything I like really. Your animator record is just for you unless you invite people to comment. But it's somewhere to store that character junk you usually save somewhere and then forget about for months!
GRAPHIC SIZES.
- Avatars need to be a 100x100 image of your animated character. Hover images are 200x300 images of your face claim! Your signature can be whatever you like, but no bigger than 500x500 please! If you need help I'm sure there will be someone around to help you out!
DO WE NEED FANCY TEMPLATES?
- Not at all, everyone has a personal preference, you can post however you like. Just keep in mind the colour and size of the font you use. Try not to make it too bright for those of us that have a hard time reading bright colours!
IC
WHO CAN PILOT A JAEGER?
- Well in this world, anyone can be a pilot but they MUST have someone they can drift with - if that means you have to wait for their partner to come along then your pilot will be grounded until that time. Remember a drift can work with friends, family, girlfriend/boyfriends so I'd like to see as many mixes of teams as we can possibly get. Maybe even people who don't particularly like each other but share a mutual connection with a third person? Something to cause tension? The possibilities are endless.
WHAT IF MY CHARACTER DOESN'T WANT TO BE A PILOT?
- There is so much more to the Jaeger programme than just pilots. If they're particularly science they can try out for the K-Science team or the J-Tech team. There are also medics on hand, commanders and civilians who do the cooking and things for all of the personnel in the shatterdome. There is also a world outside the dome in L.A where people can live their normal lives as shop keepers, hotel tycoons and maybe even shady Kaiju dealers!
WHAT IF MY CHARACTER DIES?
- Sometimes you might get a random Kaiju attack that causes a fatality in your thread. In which case your character will be moved to the 'deceased' group. But we never like to leave things in a bad way so - if you have the coins for it - you can buy some fairy dust from the shop to revive your character. This can be done up to three times for your character, but after that it's game over for real, so make sure you take care of them!
