Welcome to CF, and the Characters! If you're here, you're a little confused how to get your own cartoon gal or guy. It's really easier than it looks!

First, you will need about 250 Blessings to create and simply dress a character. You can earn blessings by posting anywhere on CF(one blessing point per post), by posting in the Blessings Exchange forum and playing any of the member-led thread games, by doing Quizzes (one point per correct answer in a Quiz, link at the top of every page), or by playing Arcade games. You might also be gifted blessings from other members! But PLEASE remember, it is very bad form to ask or beg for blessings, even in the Chatbox.

Now that you have your Blessings to spend, here's how!


STEP 1:
click on the Big Blue Button at the top of every page, the one with the cartoon girl in the yellow top. it will take you to the CF Characters Main Page.

STEP 2:
on the Main page, click on GET CHARACTER ITEMS - these are your body parts. It is the 3rd link down on the FAR LEFT column. It will take you to the Character Items page. as you scroll down, you will see 5 Shops: Body, Hair, Eyes, Eyebrows/Nose and Mouths. Which brings us to...

STEP 3:
Click on one of the Character Item shops. You MUST Get(buy) at least one item from ALL of these shops. Scroll down the list of available character Items and choose what you'd like. On the far right hand side, you will see listed the price of the item with a GET link directly below it. Click GET to purchase your items.

STEP 4:
After you have purchased ALL 5 CHARACTER ITEMS, you MUST EQUIP (dress) them. Go back to the Main Character page as in STEP 2, and click EQUIP CHARACTER ITEMS, the 4th link down. You must Equip ALL 5 Character items (the body parts) for your character to show up.

You will see 5 links just like in the Get Character Items page. It will show you what Items you own, and you can EQUIP them, the same way you bought them, with the EQUIP link on the far right side beside each item that you own.

STEP 5:
Back to the Main page as in STEP 2, now you can go shopping!! Click on GET ARMOR ITEMS, the center column of links. You will Get and Equip/dress your armor items (clothes) exactly the same way you did with your Character Items. In this section as well, you can GET SPECIAL ITEMS, the props your character can hold or stand beside them, or backgrounds.

Good luck and good shopping!

I don't have a big blue button with a cartoon girl in a yellow top. Why isn't that showing up?

Yup...New system.

To create your character, go to your user control panel and click "Edit Avatar". On the next page click "Living Avatar", and you'll be taken to the new CFC area. Right now, you can get items and create your character, but the avatar won't show up in your posts, yet. The project manager for the upgrade says the in-post display will be available tomorrow morning.

I got the "create your living avatar" section, but when I opened it, the box where I assume the avatar is supposed to appear was blank. Help!

You have to first rebuy all your stuff,
Backgrounds, Characters, Clothing, Ect.

But you can make some fun ones :)

Since our characters and pets were deleted, will we get all our blessings back that we used to create them?

My thoughts exactly. What about our armor, hair and body styles.

Does anyone know how to bless people? I can't figure it out. And were do we go for prayer request? jocaswell40 is in the special Oylmpics today I would like to ask people to pray for her.

For right now, you can get all the items either free or 1 blessing each.
so you can restock real quickly at no real cost.

Everything should be free now. We had to change each cost by hand. 5000 armory items are swimming before my eyes at the moment.
