I had an idea about what to do when approving a character. After the profile is said and done and a person is ready to be accepted, I had an idea that we should give new players a little welcome package. Something that lists what each new student gets, and a list of information about the rudimentary goings on at their school, almost like a summary of the "things your character knows but you dont" thread. Or maybe we should link to it? I did insert a link in the rules, so maybe the welcome package isn't necessary?

Or what about an initial rp, like if the sample post is about their first day at school, after a mod / admin approves that character, they add a little rp response with either an npc or character from that school. The response would be that character was assigned to help the girl get settled, similar to how Tomoe helped Nagisa. The girl gets her uniforms, shows her the store where she can get order school paraphernalia, and shows her to her dorm providing a description of its plain-Ness as well as explaining the school schedule and giving more school specific information. Like how spica allows you to eat at the cafe or in the cafeteria.


Or what do you think about adding a section called "personal items" to the character profile? Like did the girl bring anything with her to Astraea? Clothes, books, photographs, phones, laptops, a shoe collection etc?

Thoughts on all this?

I like all of these ideas; The "Welcom Package" is cute and i totally think responding to their rp sample (if its applicable) is cool. And i vote yes on the Personal Items part of the character App, since those things arent automatically imncluded with their school stuff.

I think it's a good idea. Although to be honest, I don't know how necessary the Personal Items section is. ^///^

It's really not necessary, just something to make players think, and remind them that Astraea doesn't supply these things. Anyway I was just brainstorming.xD

In my humble opinion as a new-ish person who's never actually seen or read Strawberry Panic (though I'm hoping to get time to do so soon) this would actually be rather useful. Personally, I'd think the way to go would be the mini RP- help the player get a better handle on how they're gonna write that char. Just my thoughts.

Definitely a small starter Rp would be good. I know I was nervous about starting one because, i wasn't really sure where. And more inexperienced ones will need to get to grips with Rp-ing and their characters and such. So that sounds like and awesome Idea :3
