==== Create an Account! ====
If you haven't created an EVE Online account yet, you can create a free [[https://www.eveonline.com/signup?invc=3fb1d87a-d0dd-4ffe-976d-828f37fd7995|Alpha Account here.]]
==== Requirements ====
The only requirements for joining Brave Newbies Inc. are owning a computer and having a pulse (and following the application process, of course).
You don't have to have 5bil SP or 1tril ISK in your wallet, if you want to have fun in the game and can follow our principle of "stay classy", you are welcome to join!
You need to apply with your Main character as Brave is not an alt corporation
Both Alpha (free-to-play) and Omega (monthly subscription) accounts are welcome to join Brave.
We //highly recommend// new players to complete the tutorials first and try to run the [[https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/The_Blood-Stained_Stars|Sister of Eve Epic Arc]]. They will teach you basic game mechanics and give you some money.
==== How to Apply to Brave Newbies Inc. ====
1. Head over to the [[https://account.bravecollective.com/|Brave Collective Core Services Website]]. \\
2. Click on the Log In button and Login with your **MAIN**. \\
3. On the homepage, for **ALL** of your alts, click the link under "Add your other characters by logging in with EVE SSO." and login with your alt(s).
* If your alt is on a different account, click "Switch User" and login with your other account.
Failing to add **ALL** your characters to your Brave Core Account will //greatly// increase the amount of time it takes to process your application. Please be sure you have added **ALL** your characters before continuing to the final steps!
4. Log into the [[https://joinus.bravecollective.com/|Brave Recruitment Website]]. \\
5. Go to [[https://joinus.bravecollective.com/brave|The Brave Newbies Inc. Application]], and click "Apply." \\
6. Wait to be accepted. \\
==== How Will You Know You Are Accepted ? ====
Once you have been accepted we will send you an in-game invite to join.
=== Check Your Status ===
You can check you status on the [[https://joinus.bravecollective.com/|Brave Recruitment Website]].
* The **"Open"** status means your application has not yet been reviewed.
* The **"In-Progress"** status means your application is in the process of being reviewed.
* The **"Accepted"** status means your application has been accepted, and you should be receiving an invite soon if you haven't already.
* The **"On Hold"** status means we need more information from you. Keep an eye on your Main Character's In-Game Mail.
==== While You Wait ====
Check out the [[public:dojo:wiki:new-to-brave]] page to get an overview of what to do while waiting on your application and what your first steps will be after joining.
==== Before You Accept Your Invitation ====
**After you have sent your application, absolutely make sure you read our guide on [[/public/corps/brave-newbies-inc/get-to-hq|How to Get to Our HQ]].**
**It is recommended that you wait until nearing/being docked in the closest high sec station to our HQ before accepting the invitation!**
Our corp/alliance has a high chance that multiple wardecs are active against us at any given point in time. Once you hit that final accept button, you are no longer safe in highsec. Wartargets (mostly near trading hubs) will attack you.
==== What to Do Once You're In ====
**Read the welcome mail! Seriously, read it. Yes, //all// of it.**
