# Getting Approved

Once you're ready for staff to look at your sheet (or if you have any questions), go to [<mark style="color:red;">#ticket-creation</mark>](https://discord.com/channels/1292865933525651466/1292865934780006430) and click the "Player Ticket" button. This will create a private ticket between you and the staff members looking over your sheet to help you get ready to play! This ticket is yours to keep, and you will use it as long as you remain on the server. You may keep notes and ask staff questions here. No one else can see it (aside from any sheet checkers, should you submit another character).

Your sheet will need to be uploaded as a PDF to this channel. You must also name your sheet with the following format: First Name Last Name YYYYMMDD. This is for ease of staff uploading and is a basic courtesy.

There may be a back-and-forth for a few days to hammer out your concept and ensure that everything fits just right, so please be patient! We have multiple staff members review the sheet to ensure no one misses anything. Once your sheet is approved, you will get a ping in the [<mark style="color:red;">#📣announcements</mark>](https://discord.com/channels/1292865933525651466/1292865933555273767) channel. Once you receive that ping, your ticket will give you further instructions!

If you wish, you may spend the time you will be waiting by reading over the [<mark style="color:red;">Beginner's Guide</mark>](/getting-started/beginners-guide.md).

Please note that approved characters are final, especially once you have entered a scene!&#x20;
