1. First things first, the most important aspect of your character shall be their name. And I'm not referring to their legal name here but instead their Alias. In our mythology, your name holds power and those who know it can use it to harm or control you.

Thus, we develop special codenames. That is your alias! An alias can be chosen by yourself, or gifted to you by a trusted friend, mentor or even an enemy. An alias must reflect you, in some way. This is what allows it to shield your name and protect you. For example, The counselor Eithne is named red for their startlingly red eyes, and was given this name by The Morrigan herself, while an example for someone named for their personality instead would be the Clíodhna Camper Sprite [ @sprite-drinking-calista ]; named by Dandelion for their Bubbly and mischievous nature.

The rules for your alias are simple;

1. It will only protect you if you do not give away your legal[or chosen] name.

1A. Whilst inside Camp - or online- your name cannot be stolen and is thus safe to use.

2. Your Alias may not be a part of your name, though it can allude to it.

3. Whilst not a rule, we advise that you do use a shorter name rather than something like...Lord Gold of the ivory realm. ( not...that this would work as an alias)

2. With your Alias worked out, I suppose you would maybe want to consider what exactly you are?

Of course, perhaps you're simply a demigod. Nothing wrong with that! We do reccomend this for you if you're overwhelmed with all the different options. As a demigod you only need to concern yourself with the powers of your chosen cabin.

However, if you're interested in having an additional species beyond just being a demigod then we have our species masterpost where we define your options and what they can do;

In lore, the offspring of Our Gods and Faeries/Other beings on the list are considers as Full fairies due to the nature of godly DNA.

Here is our Species Masterpost:

3. Well, if you're attending Camp Tara then you should probabaly figure out your parent, yeah?

Now this part is super subjective. We can't tell you who you should pick, but we are willing to help you pick one if you send us an ask with your likes, dislikes , who your character is etc etc.

However, you can also read our powerlists to get an idea of what your godly parent would let you do if you were to join a particular cabin. To learn more about any options simply send in an ask for them!

4. Choosing your weapon

This is pretty simple! Most characters come to camp with at least one weapon made from our godly metal; Cold iron. Which you can learn more about here

5. Do I have a camp hlafblood equivalent uniform or necklace?

Yes! Our shirts are dark green , and instead of a necklace, we have a celtic knot bracelet woven from leather every year you survive, a new knot is woven into it. Special events, quests and...incidents are commemorated with special charms gifted to you by the camp, the gods or even a friend.

For example, if you're involved in an event where you save a faeries honey festival you may get a bee charm for your bracelet.

6. How do you get involved?

Simple! Send in asks or reblog the main blog, or your fellow campers. The same way you get involved in most PJO roleplay spaces, we are built on interaction. Occasionally we host interactive quests called "incidents" we have an overarching incident that's been occurring in the background, but our complete short evens were the kelpie incident ( Interactive but only as spectators) and the cait sith incident ( solved by three campers!)

If you're ever confused on anything we are super super happy to help you!

F&Q

1. I want to go to Camp Tara but I don't want to make an Irish/Scottish demigod, what can I do?

A. You can join Cabin 15! The wild hunt, a band of immortal hunters who have their new recruits train at camp for at least 100, to ensure they're ready for the danger. They recruit mortals, demigods, monsters, beasts and the fae. So you could be a recent Greek demigod who joined them!

2. I want to interact but I'm not a Tara camper, can I still interact?

A. Of course! We're happy to have you!

3. My cabin doesn't have a counselor, can I be the counselor?

A. While we appreciate the thought and your desire to help, currently we aren't accepting staff applications

4. I'd like to play the child of a god/ be species that isn't listed, what do I do?

A. If you send in an ask, the staff will see if we feel the inclusion is possibile! If we can't find a good source for information/the god belongs on Camp camelot instead / isn't irish/Scottish then we will direct you to the best place we can

5. I don't have discord, can I still make a character?

A. Of course! The blog and the discord are meant to compliment each other, but you don't need both to enjoy it! If you only have tumblr then you'll be able to fully interact on tumblr

6. How do I keep track of everyone?

A. We have a masterlist! It tags all of our campers , and even keeps track of NPCs who are mentioned but don't have accounts! You can find it here!

7. How do I keep up with the lore?
