I was in the wiki a few years back, I don’t think I stayed long, barely made my character before getting overwhelmed and leaving.
But I am less shy, hopefully a little more confident, now so I am giving this a try again!
While I do still have a character I guess? I don’t want to keep her, since I made new characters for a completely different universe that I want to use if that’s possible.

Hey! Welcome back Hourglass.
There's a weird thing going on right now with signatures and quotes not working all over Boardhost, so hopefully that fixes itself soon.
As to your character, there is no worry. You can start off of a blank slate if you wish. If you have any questions, ask! I can fill you in on events that are currently going on, or we can just chat and chill. It's just great to have another Forumer back on board.

Hey there! Welcome to the forum. We're glad to have you here! Please feel free to let us know if there's something we can maybe help with, and go at your own pace to enjoy your stay. And like Time said, blank slates are fine, and sometimes even encouraged...or maybe not, but yeah, they're fine xD.
Hope to see you around!

His thanks you so much! I can’t wait to show off my characters I love them a lot.
I am a little curious as to what events are happening. And I am open to talk, it could be fun!
Thanks you both for the warm welcome!

Yo, welcome to the boardhost! It's always nice to see returning forumers, and I hope you have a great time here!
In roleplay I think Time has some kind of event going on but I'm not very sure of the details atm. We mostly do free play with our characters instead of constraining it to just specific events, so I'm excited to see what you decide to do with your character(s) since you really have total freedom to decide what you wanna do!
Forum-wise we just hang out and talk about stuff and share art and the like, so you just feel free to make a homethread if you so wish or check out others', or really just whatever you want to do. We're very glad to have one more person here :3

Thanks! I think for now I want to rp with my characters? Flesh them out a little better than I currently have. One of them might cause shenanigans, cause gremlin personality, he like to bite >:3
Also what is a homethread? And where do I put my art? and do I need to provide characters sheets like in the wiki? I think we had to make one at least, my memory isn’t so good
Thanks again! You all seem so nice! :>
Edit: I found the homethread, I guess I just make one for myself?

I suppose I'll just put a little plot dump for that event Spec mentioned here if you'd like to join ha
Soooo... By some mysterious will, A handful(?) Ambrosia Flowers have appeared in the middle of nowhere, in some far forgotten wasteland. What's abnormal though, is that by some unknown power, their location has been transmitted to handpicked people throughout Forengard via dreams, visions, rumors, and other events.
In addition, the flowers have created a domain for themselves, the Domain of Flowers. The Domain is drastically different from the original climate of the area. Within the Domain, it's a mash of all sorts of biomes, most of the time with such areas not making much sense. The Flowers have greatly abnormalized the region, filling it with structures that wouldn't appear in nature, and populating the area with monsters, extreme regions, and other dangers that you wouldn't normally find in Forengard.
People from every sect have flocked to the Domain for multitudes of reasons. To fight for a chance at deityhood, to witness history, to trade and strengthen their fame, to simply kill and maim, many different characters can be found here.
If that sorta stuff interests you I'm sure you can jump right in. We're currently ongoing, but you are definitely still at a good time where you can join, just be sure to make some connections with other characters before things go down. That's what makes a story good! So, once again, if you are interested, we have a planning thread that sort of becomes active every time we need to plan a new part, so you can skim it here if you want to check it out. -->
Of course I can give you rundown of current events within the plot, if you like. But you can also catch up by reading the thread(s) labled [DoF]

Ooooooo that does sound fun! I do not have mortals characters that can/would participate but it still sound nice! I guess the best way I could include my characters is have them watch and maybe interacts with the mortals trying to get the flower(s)?
Well one of them would watch and describe things happening as the other is blind but I guess that will lead to shenanigans if a character is describe negatively and said character take offense or something similar, if it’s ok of course.

Oh there goes the weird emoticon thing again.
Homethreads are basically areas where the owner of the thread posts thoughts, and chats with others. The contents of a homethread vary based on the owner, since it's kind of an area where they can post nearly anything they want.
In the index area, under the Art tab, there is a Gallery subcategory where you can post your art. There's a bit of a process that goes into posting art. You'll have to use an image poster for permalinks or whatever they are called. If you have any questions for this part, don't hesitate to ask! I'm going to admit, it took a bit of time for me to realize the process for posting an image, even though it's pretty simple.
You can provide character sheets in the sign up thread. Just provide a form in the "RP Intro, Forms, & Approval" thread. We'll look it over, and if it looks good, we'll give the character a stamp of approval, and they'll be let free into GGaD. You can see examples of what an accepted character/form looks like too. Except for Galaxian's forms. Don't use those as examples. He writes too much lol.

Of course. Other deity characters are sort of doing that already. I should really make a dedicated watcher thread or something.
If you ever want to send in a mortal, I'm sure we can find a way to place them in, by the way. Plus, remember that not all mortals are there for a flower, there are other reasons characters can be driven to the Domain.
Some deities have been able to make it inside the Domain as well, actually. The Domain bars most deities from entering, but a few have been let in by exception.

TL;DR: Name's Zane and I use Crimson, a mortal man in the RP's around here (Not just the DoF). I'm apart of the WoFMB and still like the community (which sought me to end up here funnily enough). Any help, OC trouble, or clarification with myself, or other users can be messaged privately if you so wish. Lastly I am not a mod, I just try to help. That's all and have fun
Howdy and hello newcomer! Welcome to the GGaD! Nice to have ya here! Name is my WoFMB name (I was apart of the Wings of Fire Message Board, ironically I still have my Chrome background as such that hasn't changed since like 8th grade for me...yeesh I'm old.)
ANYWAYS!
Name's Zane, I control a idiot deity of sorts named Crimson, who so happens to also be mortal! So if ya ever need a guy who can die to be friends with, Crimson could be him :D
Besides that I'm currently in the DoF RP, and yay it's a lot of fun! In addition to the DoF RP we also have private threads for more smaller one-on-one RP's, I've never used them before, but they are there. I'm not a mod or anything like that. but any advice or help to the new comers is welcome I would assume. If for any reason (Plot, or other reasons, because I clearly have the memory of a goldfish and like to ramble on about anything) ya got something that is urgent or needs clarification. you can DM myself, or generally anyone. Well on this site it's just a click away for the Private Message tab...link...thing, yeah, that.

Yo check it Zane you're not the newest person anymore
Edit: I retract this statement as Zane is more recent, but is actually not the newest person lol

I just wanted to add that character sheets are not required, but you can add them if you'd like!

I mean, if you really wanted, you could also do gigantic paragraphs... like, write as much or as little as you like.
Just don't do things like filling in one single word into the personality description lol.

Seems like a good time to say that Ash is our resident shadowy overlord of shadowy things, please do not listen to them.

No, please listen to the chaotic broth of words that is Ash.

I forgot to reply to this but I think Crimson and and Caligo (my own little guy) might get along, granted that Crimson doesn’t mind getting lightly bitten and possibly body slam as Caligo attempt to hug him (he get very excited when seeing friends)

Don't worry, I think Crimson will enjoy the company!

hello I am the Axel not the brake, and I have my fingers(characters) in a lot of pies(plots)

in way of proper introduction of myself, i am ash. i've got some cretinous things(characters) and also a beast that 100% can be trusted to never not once nibble on fingers(specific character(critchun))

Nice to meet you both officially!
I guess you can call me Owl or even Ravio which is a name I didn’t steal from a video game character at all
I am sure no finger (character) will be bitten at all
Nor will those pies ;)
