   * Head over to the [#character-stories](https://discord.com/channels/1201160221440102441/1226213651132977282) channel on our [discord server](https://dsc.gg/dominiorp).
   * Write your main roleplay character’s background story following the format pinned in the channel.
   * Your story should not be too short or too long. It must explain your character's background, why they are moving to Los Angeles, and what they aim to achieve in the city.

They will react to it with either <img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1215004826405048440.webp?size=44&#x26;quality=lossless" alt=":cross~1:" data-size="line"> or <img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1215004790938140724.webp?size=44&#x26;quality=lossless" alt=":tick:" data-size="line">.
