Tips for a New Member
Welcome to Beyond Enigma! Before you start RP'ing (because I know you're absolutely thrilled to start), you should probably check out the Beyond Enigma Background Story and edit your profile. I know it sounds tedious and boring, but it's important. For example, your personal email might be showing and you don't even know it! Or maybe you put in your real name without realizing it. Whatever it may be, you should definitely do that first. The second thing you should do, is check out the Rules and Regulations. If you're a prisoner, spy, or pup then you'll definitely want to do that (however if you're a spy, then I suggest you don't reply to the spy thread unless you want your cover blown ;D). This will show important rules about what is and isn't allowed in the RP as well as the consequences for those who go out of their way to break the rules.
And before you go and have fun, one last thing that is very important: your character bio. No I don't mean the one in your profile. I'm talking about the Character Bio forum that you'll see in the home page. This is definitely a must do if you have more than one character. This will help new members like you, catch up on who's who. It would be quite embarrassing to call your Supreme an Officer. If you want a template for that, then you'll see one available at the Character Bios. If for some reason you still can't find it, then just check out my own Character Bio to use as reference. Remember, it is only optional to use the template. You can be as creative and colorful as you want to be!
Remember to put your character bio on your profile once you're done with it. It would be convenient for those who are too lazy to search through all of the Character Bios. Oh and one very huge tip, unless you're the very first member (besides me) that RP's, I highly recommend that you check out the previous descriptions of the place you're RP'ing in. Especially somewhere like the Town Square or the Pack House.
Well that's about it! If you have any questions at all then just post them bellow and I'll see if I can answer them. Remember to check the FAQ before asking. Who knows, maybe someone else had the same question.
Thank you for joining and have a nice time in the RP!
For those who are too lazy to read all of that, here's the bullet point version of those three paragraphs:

For those who are too lazy to read all of that, here's the bullet point version of those three paragraphs:
- Read the background story for Beyond Enigma
- Edit the settings on your profile
- Read the Rules and Regulations
- Create a Character Bio for the amount of characters you're playing. A template can be found in the thread. Feel free to use it but keep in mind that it's optional.
- Before RPing, check out the description that some other users might've made beforehand.
- (Something I forgot to add) If you're lost as to what the ranks are, go to the Beyond Enigma Rank thread
