How to Apply

In order to play on Fales and Fantasy, you must be whitelisted. The whitelisting process, while seemingly daunting, is actually quite simple and we're here to help you every step of the way. You can apply on our forums. And fret not, for this page will help you with the process all the way through!

Step One - Creating Your Application

In order for one’s application to be approved, there are several criteria that an application must adhere to in order to be accepted. While they may seem like a lot, they assist us in knowing where you might need to improve and what you have a good grasp upon. More specific requirements are listed on the application page on the forums.

Your application and character must be your own work. Plagiarism is not tolerated on Fables & Fantasy at all and performing such on your application is an instant denial. Basing your character off of another is one thing, but there’s a difference between basing and carbon copying. Your character must be written to the best of your ability, conveying their personality, appearance, and backstory clearly. Grammar and spelling must also be carried out to the best of one’s abilities. We aren’t seeking perfection, but it helps the process go a lot smoother and makes the application easier to understand.

Please keep in mind that a backstory is the very beginning of a character's story! There are countless opportunities for your character to become a Noble, a King, a Wizard, but, they are not allowed to begin with powerful relationships, connections, magic, or items in their possession in their backstory. This is important for a few reason. First, we like to keep our lore consistent; if everyone could start a noble house the second they apply, it would be chaos! Secondly, we want to give everyone a fair start; it wouldn't be fair for player A to begin as a powerful Archmage, while player B is a simple farmer.

Please also make sure to keep your character's skin and Physical description consistent with our racial lore. For each race's page, you'll find some guidelines on height, eye and hair colour, and other physical characteristics that must be followed for an application to be accepted.

Tips for Applying

---

1. Your Backstory response should be written in the Third Person. This means while describing your or the dwarf's actions, you should use "He/She/They" respectively. When speaking your character is free to use I, if they are referring to themselves. Here is a simple example:

He walked into the tent, raising a brow towards the dwarf. "I wasn't expecting you of all people! What a day this has been.."

2. You are welcome to reference the Recent History of the server that your character would have been alive to know about, or one of the major hubs of civilization that they live or lived in. This helps root your character in our world, and gives you a head start on integrating yourself into the world of Eldland.

Step Two - Application Stages

After you have set up your application and posted it, you wait. Depending on how many applicants have submitted at a given time, expect your application to be reviewed within about 24-48 hours, so do not feel as if your application was forgotten or ignored, the Community Team will get to it as soon as possible.

There are three responses you can receive on an application once posted; pending, denied, or accepted.

DENIED Despite the foreboding name, a denied application is not the end of the road for your journey on Fables & Fantasy. This stage is initially received by very few applications, meaning that you’ll more likely be put on pending than denied. Applications that receive this status are usually seen as illegitimate attempts or if their application does not fit the criteria at all. Like stated prior, your application can also be denied if you do not make the corrections listed when your application is on Pending within the 48 hour time limit. If your application is denied, that does not mean you are barred from Fables & Fantasy. All you would have to do is re-apply, and this can be done at any time after your initial application’s denial. Just make sure you follow the corrections that the Community Team Member gave you on your application.

---

PENDING occurs you have put up your application, you will likely receive a message similar to the one shown in the thumbnail below. This means that, while your application wasn't particularly bad, there are several changes that might be made before you are accepted. Typically there are only a few flaws in pending applications, generally involving information or knowledge that one's character wouldn't typically have (i.e. magics, deities), unrealistic occurrences in their biography, or incorrect definitions. Players are always given 48 hours to fix mistakes during this stage, lest the application is denied. The changes that must be made will always be listed under the large pending title, and these must be filled out in order for your application to be accepted. Make sure to use the links that the Community Team member provides you with, as they can help you with information you may potentially need for your application. Joining the discord server is highly recommended, as it can allow you to communicate with already verified players for help! If you believe that a problem on your application is not a mistake, try to contact the Community Team Member who handled your application, their discords are usually put on the pending messages for ease of access.

Once you make your changes, please contact the Community Team Member who is handling your application, either via the forums or discord. If they do not respond right away, do not worry. The Team has lots of players to take care of and they will get to you as soon as possible. Most applications go through this stage and it is not uncommon for an application to be put on Pending multiple times if the Community Team Member deems it nessecary. It all depends on how well you follow the given directions and criteria. Like stated before, if you're unsure of something check the Wiki or ask a Community Team Member for assistance!

Step Three - Acceptance and What To Do After

ACCEPTED is the last stage for applications, after an applicant has made edits requested during the Pending Stage or their applications met all the server's requirements without needing to go through the Pending Stage at all.
