A: Beacon Travelers can come from any dimension! They can be from Earth, a CaPh/TBC-released dimension, a dimension of your own, or even a destroyed dimension! However, it is important to note that everyone's first traveler MUST be a human resident of Earth since the Mirstone station is the focus of our story. Characters that originate from other dimensions are classified as ODDs and have their own creation process found here.

A: Unfortunately, we do not and will not accept non-human Earth-born residents. From a moderator standpoint, this is something that can get out of hand really quickly or would be too difficult to maintain. We have a specialized homebrew mechanics system that is made with the consideration that all of the player characters are human.

Lore-wise, the main reason as to why Mirstone has a strong supernatural presence is due to Cry's magic that summoned the portals. In turn, that brought other-dimensional refugees and travelers to reside in the town of Mirstone. Earth in the CaPh/TBC universe (if untouched) would have no magic at all. The only reason why pockets of magic exist in Earth is due to Cry's magical influence. As for the supernatural creatures (in terms of appearance), they exist on Earth due to the occasional accidental portal breach. To manage and investigate these creatures, the CaPh/TBC universe has their SCP foundation equivalent, known as the Beacon Bureau of Control (BBC).

A: Your traveler's Earth appearance must look like a believable, regular human being. We do allow for unique/irregular eye colors like red, purple, and the likes!

A: At the youngest, your traveler may be 17 years old. However, they may only work part-time at the café or the company since their studies should be their main focus. At the oldest, your character may be 66 years old, but also keep in mind that this is also the retiring age for being a traveler in the Beacon Company. 

The oldest you can join the Beacon Company is 51 years old which allows you to be in the Beacon Company for 15 years before having to retire.

A: As of right now, we do not allow for the creation of Beacon veterans (ie. someone who has experience at the time their application is made). This feature will be generation-locked or player-granted in the future and there is currently no date/prediction as to when this will be released. We mainly have this setting in place so that new players who are unfamiliar with the CaPh/TBC setting don't create characters that requires in-depth knowledge of the Company. It also fixes the discrepency of a traveler that has been with the Company for several years but is still starting at Level 1.
