(can add a short vers of the information from the original version??)

=== Choose a Character Name ===

If you're starting from scratch or your adopt didn't come with a name you like, your next task will be to decide on a name! We follow a semi-traditional naming system, so we expect prefixes to be based on appearance and related to things primarily found in nature—with the exception of [[WindClan]], who have adapted to an urban setting and changed their naming conventions as a result.

If you're uncertain where to start, take a look at our [[Naming guide]]. 

=== Make a Character Account ===

Your next task is to make a character account. To do this, you can go to your Settings (click on your icon in the top right corner and look at the drop-down!) and from there, go to Edit Sub-Accounts. From here, you should see a button titled "Register a New Account". Your character's name will be the username, and, if you so choose, the password and email will be the same as your OOC account's.

"Alias" refers to your OOC account's information! Enter your OOC account username, pronouns, and timezone. This will be autofilled in the completed subaccount's bio, but if it does not, you can simply do it manually again.

Once this is completed, you can now fill out your profile bio! You can get to your editable bio by clicking on your icon's dropdown menu and accessing your '''settings'''. If you'd like help navigating this process, the guide below will outline each step!
