Hello, my name is Lukas Smith from New Zealand. Reporting for duty Sir!

OOC: Hey George! I’m so sorry for the late reply, my schedule’s been a bit hectic lately. I’m not going to give you an in-character reply just yet, as I want to get you oriented to our posting style!

So, STF roleplay is sort of like writing a story. Your check-in is in-character, much like the opening to a novel or a short story, but from one person’s perspective (your character’s!). You can do this in any way you wish, but the idea is to run through your character’s emotions, actions, observations, thoughts, etc. That’s what makes for an interesting character and an interesting roleplay!

If you want some examples, David Shaw did a nice check-in post for his first character here: https://www.star-fleet.com/core/acad/challenger/posts/167296/
And I did mine way back when as well, which I’m particularly fond of as well (not be a brag haha): https://www.star-fleet.com/core/acad/challenger/posts/111613/

Sorry if this is an intimidating response, but I wanted to give you the opportunity to post another check-in thread incorporating some of these ideas, if you wish! Please let me know how else I can help.
