# StarForgeRP — Recruiting
**Title**Recruiting
**Small Text / Caption**Missions currently seeking additional participants.
**Standard Text**Recruiting gathers missions where additional characters are currently welcome or may still be able to become involved.
Use this page when you want roleplay built around an established objective, assignment, investigation, expedition, conflict, or problem, but need to find a story that still has room for new participants.
A recruiting mission may still be **Planned Missions** (https://www.starforgerp.com/roleplay/missions/planned) or may already appear among **Active Missions** (https://www.starforgerp.com/roleplay/missions/active). Recruitment describes whether additional characters can join; it does not describe how far the mission itself has progressed.
**Heading**Currently Recruiting
**Standard Text**Mission listings accepting additional participants should appear here when their participation is Open or Limited.
If no listings are shown, no mission is currently being advertised through this page as accepting additional characters. Players can still browse **RP Hooks** (https://www.starforgerp.com/roleplay/rp-hooks) for less structured opportunities to begin new roleplay.
**Heading**Reading a Recruiting Mission
**Standard Text**A recruitment listing should give you enough information to decide whether the situation might suit your character without revealing everything that may be discovered through play.
**List**
* Mission — The story or operation seeking participants.* Status — Whether the mission is Planned or already Active.* Participation — Whether recruitment is Open or Limited.* Premise — The basic situation or objective.* Location — Where the mission begins or where involvement is most likely.* Possible Connections — Examples of backgrounds, affiliations, professions, relationships, or circumstances that could provide believable entry points.* Coordinator — The player or participant to contact when coordination is needed.
**Standard Text**Possible Connections are examples rather than requirements. A mission involving a military operation might also have room for a medic, technician, intelligence contact, local civilian, contractor, criminal intermediary, diplomat, or someone personally connected to the situation.
The important question is not whether your character is the ideal person for the mission. It is whether they have a believable reason to become involved.
**Heading**Joining a Mission
**Standard Text**Before joining, read the mission record and consider how your character would encounter the situation.
An Open mission is actively welcoming additional characters whose involvement can be reasonably connected to the story. A Limited mission may still have room, but participation may depend on the character, available space, the point the story has reached, or the kind of connection being proposed.
When a mission is Limited—or when you are uncertain how your character could enter naturally—coordinate with the mission organizer or current participants before establishing their involvement.
**Standard Text**Reading a mission page gives you player context. It does not automatically give your character the same information in-character.
A secret operation, private investigation, restricted assignment, criminal job, or confidential request may therefore require a believable way for your character to learn that the opportunity exists. Their introduction might come through orders, employment, mutual contacts, reputation, a personal relationship, local circumstances, an intercepted message, a professional referral, or another connection established through roleplay.
For broader expectations concerning collaboration, character knowledge, agency, and joining existing stories, see the **Roleplay Guidelines** (https://www.starforgerp.com/guide/roleplay-guidelines).
**Heading**Finding a Believable Entry Point
**Standard Text**You do not need to reshape your character simply to fit a mission. Look for connections that already make sense—or that could reasonably develop from the character's existing life.
Useful questions include:
**List**
* Why would the character care about what is happening?* How could they reasonably learn about the mission or its underlying problem?* Are they connected to one of the people, organizations, professions, or locations involved?* Do they possess expertise, resources, authority, information, or contacts that might matter?* Could they be affected personally even if they were never formally recruited?* Might they want something different from the mission organizer or other participants?* What complications could their involvement introduce?
**Standard Text**Characters do not need to approach the same mission for the same reasons.
One participant may be following orders while another wants payment. Someone may be searching for information, protecting a friend, settling a debt, pursuing a rival, investigating suspicious activity, defending a community, exploiting an opportunity, or simply becoming involved because circumstances leave them little choice.
Different motives are often more useful for roleplay than assembling a group whose members all think and act alike.
**Heading**Recruiting Missions and RP Hooks
**Standard Text**Recruiting and **RP Hooks** (https://www.starforgerp.com/roleplay/rp-hooks) both help players find roleplay, but they serve different stages of a story.
A Roleplay Hook presents an open possibility: a rumor, problem, opportunity, request, relationship, mystery, need, or unresolved situation that someone might respond to.
A recruiting mission has already developed into a more definite situation or objective. Characters know—or will discover—that there is something they are attempting to accomplish, investigate, prevent, recover, protect, locate, resolve, or survive.
If you want a loosely defined starting point that could become many different kinds of story, browse RP Hooks. If you want to join a focused story that already has an objective or developing operation, browse Recruiting.
**Heading**For Mission Coordinators
**Standard Text**When a mission is looking for additional participants, make the opportunity easy for other players to understand.
**List**
* Mark Participation as Open or Limited.* Keep mission Status separate from Participation.* Explain the basic premise without revealing discoveries intended to occur through roleplay.* Give several possible entry points when the story reasonably allows them.* Identify important locations, affiliations, professions, relationships, or circumstances that may help characters connect to the mission.* Provide a coordinator when players should contact someone before joining.* Update the participation information when recruitment changes.* Close recruitment when additional involvement would no longer fit the developing story.
**Standard Text**Do not advertise only for the character who can solve the mission most efficiently.
A strong mission leaves room for different skills, priorities, disagreements, mistakes, unexpected solutions, and consequences. Recruitment should help characters enter the situation; it should not decide what they must contribute or how the mission must end.
