Starting to Roleplay

As a new player, you are not restricted to a single forum. For example, you do not need to make your first post in the Dormitories. Players will often engage in a meet and greet thread as their first thread so that they can meet other players. A few example ideas of where to start your first roleplay thread include:

For Sorcerers:​

• Dormitories - you are just moving in. A hook such as having a hard time with the weight of your bags, your bag breaking, having some real weird or embarrassing stuff with you can serve as easy ice-breakers to attract other roleplayers.
• Tea Garden - this area represents a large portion of the outdoor grounds in jujutsu high. This can be you simply exploring the grounds, seeing them for the first time or enjoying nature. A hook of some sort is often helpful in increasing engagement such as freaking out over a bee or perhaps spying on someone else's (NPC or a creative player) personal drama.
• Zazen Dojo or the Panic Grounds - just jump straight to the action and training arc. Show off how 'strong' your character is or perhaps leave an opening for a rival.

For Soul Reapers:​

• Soul Society or Senkaimon Gate - show people where you came from.
• Apartments - you are just moving in. A hook such as having a hard time with the weight of your bags, your bag breaking, having some real weird or embarrassing stuff with you can serve as easy ice-breakers to attract other roleplayers.
• Central Meeting Hall - perhaps you were picking up an assignment, looking to meet with an NPC that was not there and now end up meeting someone else.
• The Fen or The Pit - just jump straight to the action and training arc. Show off how 'strong' your character is or perhaps leave an opening for a rival.

Other Options that Work well for either:​

• Tokyo Metro - the train ride or arrival at the train station in Tokyo. Perhaps you meet someone on the way.
• Places Beyond - talk about your home or perhaps an assignment that took you out of Tokyo, more likely a solo thread if your first in this case but this can work very well if you have a backstory that involved another player from the start.
