If you are registering to participate as a Lurker
If you are registering a New Character for consideration.
NOTE that it is now mandatory that you participate as a Lurker before taking on a Character so that you are fully aware of the format and are comfortable with it. Be prepared to spend 2-3 months Lurking before a suitable Vacancy comes up (though it can be quicker ... or longer ... to get into the Game).
Please note that in The World of Vagra PBEM it is the Players, not the GM, who determine whether to allow lurkers "behind" their Characters. Similarly it is the Players, not the GM, who decide whether to allow communication between themselves and lurkers; the GM will advise the Player if a Lurker is present, but leave closer contact up to that Player.
As a Lurker, once you have made your choice of PC to lurk behind you will be cc'ed all Turns and Results for that PC ... in effect you ride along in the mind of a PC. This should allow you to gain a good appreciation of the mechanics of PBEMing and/or the specifics of Game-play in the Vagran PBEM.
If a Player is happy to take advice/suggestions/whatever re their PC they may chose to contact "their" Lurkers direct. In effect it is possible to have a "multi-Player PC", although it is the Registered Player who is responsible for Gaming the PC.
Now those details...
Lurking Form:
As a Replacement Player you will be taking over control of a fully-developed PC already "at large" on Vagra.
This places certain constraints and obligations on the new Player:
1) all major Stats remain unchanged, generally including the PCs name; with GM agreement you may alter minor Stats/Personal Choice categories.
2) you must accept the full Background as writ/played to date, and work with it.
3) you need to recognise that you will probably suddenly be playing with other PCs who are an established Group, with their own ethos/rationale/methods of playing ... it may be prudent to work in gradually, especially if there are aspects of the PCs character you wish to change to suit your own style of play.
Please be aware that there is usually a selection process to determine a Replacement Player. In this regard, while previous experience is not essential, it is given some weight in the decision-making.
