On Current CotS Requirements

[Liitha]

Until activity picks up there is a temporary release from the need to complete requirements. IF the Bio submitted by you shows some of the character development and history which normally takes place through early requirement RP's, then you may start your new character from standard full rank. 

 

Ceremonial RP's, which are usually required for a 2nd character to start at full rank, still have to be completed but can be written in retro. These must be done before your character is used in other RP's as a full rank.

 

That means you can choose which rank to start at, from beginner up to regular full rank. This is a privilege normally reserved for members who have already raised a previous character (of the same type) by RP'ing. You may do this regardless of whether you have any characters from before or not. However, if you do choose to take advantage of this option, the Bio must reflect a more in depth and fleshed out character background.

For Dreadlords, ranking up consists of two IC tests, (sort of like they do in the WT). For a Darkfriend, it means choosing a career path and doing the RP 'On the Shadow's Side'.

 

We have fairly good write ups of all these things on the Wikia:
