joiningfirst and foremost, this is an invite only gpsl. you will need an invitation from another member in order to join! however, once you are given an invitation, joining will be relatively easy as long as you follow the guidelines below! because this is a laid back gpsl, we do not mind if you use an ic or ooc username as long as it has no underscores, numbers or excessive letters. when you apply, we should see an ic contact post and ooc contact post with character information in your journal, both backdated. examples are required to join and we'd prefer to see thread and narrative examples!

8.19 as of this date, we are allowing those who are interested in joining to comment here to request an invite to our community discord, where you will be welcomed in and given lines as well as an invite in to apply!

characters we do not expect a full biography, but we do want to see that you have a basic understanding of your character when applying. please include the following info in your ooc post:

full name
date of birth
city status (lower or upper)
occupation
class (optional) netrunner, techie, solo, cop, etc. for more information see here
character background/information (basic facts, small blurb or a timeline - no lengthy bios please)

updates should be done on a monthly basis, between the first and last day of the month. this can be done one of two ways, because we're not picky as long as you're active and posting on the fp! updates can be a narrative, showing your character development or something that is going on in your character's life, or it can be an interactive social media post such as instagram. however, active threads work as well!

threads since this is such a small group, we will be encouraging public threads in the main community. our main focus here at cybernauts will be writing, world building, and character development. we understand that some people may not be comfortable with this type of setting, and we hope that you understand this coming in. threads in customs are discouraged unless it is adult or sexual in nature

removals removals occur at the end of each update cycle. you can be removed in the middle of a cycle if your friend's list is out of date more than 7-10 days or if you haven't been active on discord or in threads/showing activity on the fp, as that will lead us to believe you are inactive. this doesn't mean, however, that you cannot reapply! sometimes life gets in the way, and we understand that. if you are removed and would like to re-join the community, you will not need a second invite!

rejection this is not a first come, first serve community. we reserve the right to accept and reject as we see fit. if your application was deleted that means you were rejected. we reject applicants if we feel that their examples were not what we are looking for, if it was clear that rules/about pages had not been read or we just didn't feel as though you'd be a good fit for the community. as it stands, we do not answer many inquiries on rejection.
