Before applying, let's make sure you meet the basic requirements:
• You are currently 18+ years of age
• You have a deviantART account that is at least 2+ months old, or can prove that you have an old account that is at least that old. (An account that meets the age requirement but otherwise has no or very little proof of use may require further proof, ie. social media accounts.)
• You have a Discord account, or are able to create and use one.
• You are not banned from the group or on joining cooldown.
(Returning members must wait 2+ months before rejoining, unless told otherwise)
Everything you need to read before joining the group is here in the "Basics" tab. This tab includes our group rules, how the Tribes work, our group's history, and how to create your character. If you want to check out the other tabs and read more, you're free to- but we believe the rest is easiest to understand once you're already in the group!
[RULES]
This page touches on our most basic rules, regarding joining requirements, member conduct, the content we allow, etc. It is very imperative to read and agree to these rules before you consider joining the group. Please ask questions if a rule confuses you, but not reading the rules is not an excuse to not abide by them!
The Tribe Life journal is your guide to understanding Havensake and the world it takes place in, from each Tribe and their ranks and powers, to cats outside the Tribes, to customs and ceremonies, etc. You don't need to click any external links on this page, but it's good to read everything there to get an understanding of the Tribes and figure out which one you'd be interested in applying to.
Did you notice the Tattoo Guide subpage? Please check it out! This is the guide to designing your character's tattoo, from their color and shape to the placement and active design.
[HISTORY]
This page outlines the group's history- starting with what led us all to the world of Corondryx, and then detailing what's happened in the group since its opening. This list is not all-inclusive, but does include important plots and events that your character may hear about upon joining the Tribes. OOC, it'll help you understand what we're talking about, too!
The title says it all- this page is a step-by-step guide to creating your character! It details every bit of information on our joining application, plus the information required to include in your character's bio and on their ref. It also includes details on what we do and don't allow as far as designs and accessories go!
Did you notice the Masterlist of Names subpage? Please check it out! This has the list of every True name and names of NPCs, etc. that cannot be used in the group (without permission, at least). This is important to check before giving your character their True or kit names, or when reserving a name for yourself!
[JOINING]
The first step you should take is to note the group for access to the Discord server. We do everything on Discord (deviantART is all but dead to us at this point)- but you still have to note us to join it!
For ease, please follow this link to our notes if you need to! If your dA account is less than 2 months old, please provide us with links to a previous account so we can verify!
Once you're in the Discord, you can try to use one of these two methods to get your foot in the door:
1. Membership Vouchers
Existing members in the group are given 2 voucher tickets per calendar year, with which they are able to invite friends to join the group. If you don't have existing friends in the group, don't worry! A lot of members will be willing to sponsor you if you ask and/or get to know them first. You can advertise that you're looking to join in the #nonmembers channel, and odds are, someone will help you out!
You can read up about member vouchers and how they work here!
2. Kitten Tryouts
Members are allowed to bring in as many nonmembers as they want when their characters have litters (provided there's not more than 6, which is the max number of kittens in a litter). If you aren't handed a kitten by a friend, you can check out the pins in #nonmembers and #advertisements and see if there are any open litters! Odds are, there will be at least one kitten open for tryouts! Remember tryouts aren't guaranteed and you shouldn't guilt trip about winning a kitten or joining the group- just have fun, and you're bound to find something!
At this time, Havensake does not have regulated openings- so these two methods are your best bet for getting in right now!
Once your voucher has been approved or you have taken a kit from a litter, note the group with the following information:
Joining Form:
Character Name: (True name here!)
Tribe: (Tribe here!)
Age: (Age group and age in months- ie. Kitten, 0 moons; Adult, 24 moons)
Height: (Full height as adult, 6"-18")
Power: (Primary or Secondary)
Profession: (Rank here!)
Stats: (How your stats were allocated, for our ease of access! Please include the appropriate ARC and TGH counts as well!)
Skills: (Which skills has your character gained access to? Skill numbers are enough.)
Hobby: (Which hobby does your character start out with? For our ease of access)
Character Slot Number: (Only applicable if you hold several character slots)
Reference: (A link to their filled reference, on the correct tribe application sheet, with a completed biography.)
18+?: (confirmation you are 18 years of age, only for new members)
The form above must be filled out in its entirety for your application to be considered.
Existing members should also use this form (minus the last question) to submit new characters into the group.
Kitten Turn-In Guidelines:
If joining with a kitten, please ensure your note is sent in at least 7 days before the litter is born so we have time to review! If you are late to submitting a kitten, you will incur penalties with each late day. The penalties are as followed:
1 Day Late: No penalty
2 Days Late: 1 month cooldown that can't be bypassed
3 Days Late: Kitten denial + 1 month cooldown
---
And that's it! Please feel free to peruse this website as you wait to get in, or talk with other members in the Discord and get acquainted with everyone! We love seeing nonmembers interact with the group and post their art, share stories, etc!
If you have any questions at all, please note the group, or ask staff for assistance in our #help-and-support channel!
We hope to see you soon! ♥
