Hello and welcome to Layonara!
If you just arrived then, you should start at the "New Players" drop menu here on the forums. It is very self explanatory and I think all you need to know in order to begin playing can be found there.
In short:
1. Register on forums, which you have done.
2. Download the haks here:
http://forums.layonara.com/local_links.php?catid=33. Read through the rules and other useful information while it is downloading.
4. Submit your character, if you havent thought of a concept yet you have some time til the downloading is complete.
You will have to get a character approved before you can log on, this is not to be complicating things, but rather to make you fit into layonara easier.
To submit a character simply consult the char.sub.wizard.
