Small blurb to briefly introduce the universe and what is going to happen. This is meant to entice new players to join and is worded to create excitement. I might as well write this.
PLEA FOR NEW PLAYERS TO HAVE CHARACTERS EVALUATED
Character sheet here
People who can evaluate
PLEA FOR PRE-REBOOT CHARACTERS TO BE RE-EVALUATED, REMOVE THIS AFTER THERE ARE NONE LEFT
Spoiler goes here, containing just a better overview of the universe than the blurb. It should not be too long.
Spoiler goes here, containing a list of major and minor factions plus some groups and things that do not count as either, like Freespace. It has a brief overview of the faction, what they believe in, what they are doing, and notable standings with other factions.
Spoiler goes here, containing some guidelines and rules of thumb.
Here goes a line explaining that deeper lore can be requested for reading and questioning.
This is an area to be updated regularly, being a brief explanation of where the RP is now (in general, so it does not need nightly updates) so returning players can catch up and new players can get in quicker.
How does everyone think of this template?
Sounds good.
However it should be noted that the Drive is accessible to anyone, even without an account, except they just can't make documents, so it would still be a good place to let people keep character information and the universe info for those who do want to use it.
That said, the OP idea is very good.
