Making a Character
In order to become a member of TSL you must create a character, whether that be a colony cat, bobcat, hare, fox, dog, lynx, etc! Each species has their own creation rules, so make sure to read the species pages and their respective docs carefully!
This website has a focus on the colony cats.
If you want to make one of the other species, make sure you check out (Beyond's Website Here)!

STEP ONE
Get verified! If you do not send us a roleplay sample that meets our strict literacy standards, you will not be able to enter the server. You must be verified and into the server within five days of joining or you will be kicked from the server. You can rejoin and try again at any time! |
STEP TWO
A drawn reference sheet must be placed at the very top of your application!
If you're unable to draw or create an image of your character in Picrew or with a base, you're welcome to temporarily use a photograph if you credit the photographer by name. This photograph must be available for public use, so we suggest Unsplash, Pexels, or Pixabay.
If you're using a temporary photograph, once your application is accepted please submit a request in the channel #refsheet-request so that staff may draw you a reference sheet of your character!
Reference sheets or reference photographs must show a side view of the character so we can see a majority of the markings. The paws and tail must be visible. Drawn reference sheets cannot be lineless, they cannot be shaded, and they cannot be stylized to an extent of giving your character qualities which are reserved or disallowed (IE: Drawing your character with large fangs and a lion-like mane when they don't have the Overgrown Fangs or Lion-like Mane mutation because you 'stylized' it is not allowed).
