I have ideas floating around about doing a family roll call at some point in the future. how does one typically go about getting this setup, getting your lore approved by staff, etc?

This will set you up with what you need to know.
Here's what I did with an elf family role call I made:
1. Died.
2. Thought about it a bit.
3. Jotted down some documentation ideas, formatted nicely. About a page since it was actually a tribe, outlining the things the help file asked us to outline.
4. Submitted a Role Application Request with the documentation I had drafted up.
5. Staff and I went back and forth tweaking it.
6. Staff gave me a Request # to post on my chargen character's bio.
7. Posted in Player Announcements a brief announcement saying I was accepting applications for family members. I asked them for playtimes, since I wanted to play together.
8. Went through the apps and picked four of them.
9. I sent sorry messages to the ones that didn't get accepted.
10. I entered the game through chargen using the Request # staff gave me.
11. I told the other family members my PC's name via PM. I also insisted that I didn't want very much OOC communication.
Step 12 is optional, but that's when half your family dies within the first IG week.
you guys are awesomepants!
