Hi everyone
I just registered - I was looking on google for a roleplaying forum, and, after some searching, came across this one. I don't really have that much experience with this kind of forum and am already impressed and a bit intimidated by the amount of information on here.
Would be really grateful for a little help in getting started :)

Hey! I'm brand new here too.

Maybe we could do our first thread together (after I finish my character sheet).

I'm thinking about starting in the Falyndar Region. Reihn would love to have a companion like a Kelvic on his adventures. Not sure if you've considered a starting region yet. . .

I don't know if that helps at all but welcome anyways!

Greetings Filia and welcome!

I understand where you are coming from, I was there only a few months ago. Don't worry, getting into play is not as difficult as you may thing....and well worth it.

On the home page in the left hand column is a starting guide. That will help get you started.
You can post questions in the questions and answer forum:
http://www.mizahar.com/forums/questions-and-answers-f38.html

Truth is, eevryone here is super friendly and willing to help. You can poke your head in chat too. Anyone with a colored name should be able to help. I'm guessing a staff mod like Gossamer will greet you as well with some tips to get started.

I look forward to seeing you in play! Though I am not on staff, I would be glad to help you too. Feel free to PM me if you want.

Hello Filia!

Welcome and well met. First things first, relax! No one is going to laugh or think your silly or even remotely do anything but help you out until you find your feet. The standard new player drill is to read a lot of the wiki including the Starting Guide and Starting Package Pages... the skill guide helps a lot too. Then go read about all the races, all the regions, and then look around to see where all the people are playing...

Then normally they pop into chat, ask a whole lot of specific questions (or ask them here!), and then work on their Character Sheet, which is mandatory to produce (though all the artistic flair isn't required... it's just a place to express yourself!) before or soon after you start playing... thats where you track your skills, threads, coin, etc. It's your baby to birth and maintain!

Why don't you tell us more about yourself, what you like to play around with, and what sort of experience you have? Then, tell us a bit about what you'd like to get out of your Mizahar experience, and we'll do our best to show you the way to a PC that really works for you.

Be forewarned, we've only been open a few months (since August) so there are gaps in the Wiki, but you can request stuff to be fleshed out immediately if you have an interest (we're finishing things on the basis of who needs them most first). However, we'll be around a long long time... my last project was a 17 year stint, and I expect Mizahar to be at least around that long. I really hope that you'll join us for the ride. :)

So far, the only kind of roleplaying I've done was in pc games (Fallout 3 for example), Harry Potter roleplaying forums (long time ago) and, recently and unfortunately only once, pen and paper roleplaying with some friends of mine.
I'm not quite sure what I would like to get out of this yet - first of all, I'd like to do some roleplaying :p :p
Seriously though, so far I've had one character I played for a longer time, I think it was someone rather evil, seductive and stuff like that.
