The references and the profiles
Ok, I told EVERYONE to wait until I give the reference sheet that I wanted. Remember, ALL hunters must use at LEAST this much information in order to be a part of the hunter community. That's beside actually going onto the main ten squads.

Name:

Age:

Gender:

Species:

Fur color:

Eye Color:

Birthday:

Personality:

Appearance description: (not needed if you have a picture)

Likes:

Dislikes:

Residence:

Weapon of Choice:

Strengths:

Weaknesses:

Background:

Position:

(note, you can add anymore stats to this if you wish, the more information the better, just know that you must have what's needed) The picture is NEEDED of your hunter in order to qualify to be a part of the main ten squads, no exceptions. Also after stating all of this, please tell me if you would like the character to become a leader of a squad, a member in a squad, or just a hunter in the community.

After Profiles
Ok, I am impressed with everyone who has submitted a profile so far. Very good background storylines and can fit in quite well. But however, I forgot to mention the positions. In case you don't see where I added it, I'm telling you now. I need the position in which you want your character to have. A squad member, a leader, or just part of the endless community. Also, if you had wanted to be on one of ten squads before hand, then ask me personally and if the position is open, I will let you be on that squad.

The Ten Chosen Types
Healers
Observers
Dominators
Creators
Executioners
Defenders
Shifters
Advancers
Walkers
Protectors (already taken)

(note, on this subject, I would like a little bit of help, as I have wanted to change up some of the names, but I've had a few writers block on this subject so maybe someone could make a suggestion for some better types or names)


Characters joining the story
A few people have asked me that when they make their profiles, that should mean that their character gets into the story right? Well, the main questions are, for how long? Will they be in the spotlight? Are they just fill ins? Here is how it works. When you give me your profile of your character, during the storyline, I will make up some missions that are very important for certain squads to go after. This is also an opportunity for your squad to rp what happens. If I like what you did during the rp, I'll even edit the storyline to save the outcome of what your squad did together. You'll see various important missions going on during the storyline, and I will follow their p.o.v. until their mission is done. Then it's back onto Tikal's and the head squad's p.o.v.

Roleplaying side missions
I have been asked many times is this a roleplaying club. Well, being asked so many times, I say why not? I'll make up small side missions for you with guidelines on where you start and what the side mission is about. This will not be officially done however until the middle of February, if not the beginning of it. I need the time in order to come up with a handful of missions that are unique and very fun for everyone to get into. Something that will not be stale and something everyone will enjoy. Which brings me to my next question. I need some people to help with the 'so called' storyboard of these RPs. I'm serious when I say I'm excited about this. I think it would be a good feature for the club to try out to actually get interactive with your squad members to see what you can do together. After enough unique RPs are planned out and finished, I will announce the official website to start the RPs in.

Roleplaying major assignments
By the end of December, I'm only hoping at least 25 out of 36 hunter slots are covered. If so, I will be able to continue on with the plot of my story. During this plot, I will make major assignments according to what squad your in. Ex. If you're in the Defender squad, I will make you do a certain assignment dealing with the family you were assigned to look after. I must have enough profiles in order to start this, that way I'm able to write down personalities and effects properly and correctly. I'm thinking about probably having a section in the journal of major assignments for the week or 2 weeks. However this is only a brainstorm on how I can do it, if there are any suggestions to this set up, please let me know.

Ideas and Suggestions
I would love to hear ideas and suggestions from my members. Nothing is better than jogging someone else's ideas to come up with a great plan that works for everyone. Most of the time I'm busy doing work for college, so maybe someone with spare time can suggest something and I'll probably get an excellent idea. Don't think your ideas or suggestions don't count. They're very important and you really never know what you could have started.

Positions
Yes positions, and not the one you're thinking of O.o anyways, I have made a few positions for the club that need to be pointed out to everyone. So far, here are the positions that are for the club. I will add more the list when my brain actually starts working.

Squad leaders: They simply are the leaders of their squad, they must think of the small storyline of their 'spirit' family they must look after and where the spirit came from. (that's if I didn't do it already)

recruiters: they must go out and try to advertise the club. Trying to recruit anyone that they think is pretty good to be in the club and can show promise for the team.

directors/administrators for chatrooms: sooner or later, we'll need directors for chatrooms. I need people liable first before I make them. They should watch over the chatroom and make sure that nothing gets out of hand. I wouldn't want it to get shut down or even worse get the club looked at in a different way.

news reporter: The club needs someone who is used to distributing news articles on DA. It seems the Help Desk don't want to answer my questions, so I need someone who already knows just about everything for the club. I come to them to discuss what I can and can't put on the articles that I want to post up, and after making edits to the article and modifying it correctly, I will post the article.

contest coordinator: When I am too busy with something else, I will ask the contest coordinator to come up with contest ideas to give the members motivation. Of course, at the moment, I am full of contest ideas, so I'm in no panic. However, it would be safe to have one, just in case.

small administration staff: I'm not too sure what they are supposed to do... I believe get me donuts and coffee or something... if I'm not mistaken XD but seriously, if I'm not around for about 3 days, I'm probably going to need someone to moderate things. By moderate, I mean send notes to me telling me whatever is new and whatever has developed. This is more crucial then what you may think. It gives me less time to search around for things and more time to think about doing better stuff for the club.

T.A.P. Technical Assistance Personnel: Only one person has this job, and it's already taken. I just put the name out there because it is a job.

Council: I'm probably going to need those who are serious about the club, who think that it can grow into something far more spectacular than just some fan club. The council and I will discuss things like what is new that needs to be done. Or something that can be improved, enhanced, or updated.

Clerk: ok, obviously she's gotta be sexy XD just kidding. I don't think I really need a clerk, but the position is open anyway to those who would... like to be a clerk, and help the owner out

Comic Artists : I never mentioned it before, so I'll mention it this time. If anyone is interested in drawing the comic of this story, just note me and we will work something out. Of course it will not be free, you will be rewarded with privileges of the club and of course money XD

Contests
I have a contest that I'm about to open very soon. I just need about 3 more certain pics. One of a revised Kenya, one of a revised Jasmine, and one of all of the revised head squad members together (Sandra, Jasmine, Kenya, Tikal) after having this, I will open the club's first contest.

(is it me, or am I just always 30 minutes late XD)

RANDOM DEVIANTS NOW!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so it was pretty obvious that I noted like 500 people, and randomly searched for those who might like to join the club. Well upon this searh, I have seen some pretty messed up stuff. I mean, I've seen excellent artists, I MEAN really wonderful, on expert levels, only get about 500 pageviews, or just 1000, when they submitted about literally 300 to 100 submissions. And no one ever commented on there stuff, so they just left DA. I mean O.o what kind of crap is that? So if you could, PLEASE!!! Go look at random deviants, not just NEW ones, I mean completely random. You would be surprised what they say when you give an actual comment to their work.

Advertisement
Ahhhhh yeah! My favorite part! Spamming time!!! XD nah just kidding, but try and advertise the best you can. mainly through your journals and if anyone goes into chatrooms, advertise there. Try and spread this out to others to show that this club is serious. ^^

Translators
Also while seraching this biased site, I've noticed some do not speak English well. ^^ so if anyone would like to make translations to other languages to anything that I post, or even put up as updates, please, be my guest. This is supposed to be a community thing. That's all the announcements for today.
