I guess I'd like to ask the very open-ended question of "what do I do here?" Or rather "what is the correct protocol for engaging in activities?"

From what I could gather so far, this appears to be a rather small community, and with a large focus on the very physical combat, and usually using the T1 system I know nothing about. As a result, I'd like to know whatever you see fit to tell me before I try posting a thread, so that it conforms properly - unless it doesn't need to.

I've failed to find a better informational thread, which is probably my fault.

A couple of things. 

A) Are you planning to become part of the ranking system? If so, then you should learn [url=http://www.roleplaygateway.com/type-turn-based-combat-eden-era-t4212.html]T1 Eden era Rules [/url] which is the system we use to facilitate textual combat. You should post in the [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2578395] Guild Rank HQ [/url]

B) There are examples of characters there that you can examine. 

C) For ranked arena fights, we use a simple/complex system of character power ranks; Normal human, Powered characters, and god-like. Most people bounce between normal human and powered. Powered is a vast scale so don't stress about it. Your best bet is to make a character and allow the community to help balance it out in relation to the rest of the characters in a given category.

D) Become involved.

E) Of course none of this matters if you simply want to tussle with friends but not become part of the rankings, tournaments and overall multiverse/omniverse setting where any tech/magic and power can exist alongside any other.
