How to register with PK

So, you're feeling calm and ready to register yourself. On discord, people often use a bot called Pluralkit (shortened to PK) to register system members, keep track of whos fronting, and so each system member can freely talk as themselves.In every command shown here, please remove the ( ) surrounding text. They are a placeholderTo get started, do pk;m new (name)
Example: pk;m new Kevin
Do not feel the need to include any other information other than just your name, We'll worry about the specifics later.After that, lets try adding a proxy.
A proxy is what you put before your text, to make the bot understand you want to talk.Do pk;m (name) proxy add (proxy:text)
Having the word 'text' is REQUIRED for the bot to register it correctly
Example: pk;m Kevin proxy add kev:textYour proxy can be a letter, your name, or even an emoji. You can also add your proxy at the end, for example:
pk;m kevin proxy add text-kevin
which would make my messages proxy if I signed off with -kevin at the end of my messages.The next important command, is your icon.
pk;m (name) icon (picture URL, or upload the picture)Now, technically, this is more than enough to start talking to people. But if you'd like to try some more complex commands, here are some:If you'd like to have your name when you proxy show your pronouns, or other information, you can do
pk;m (name) dn (name you want shown)
Example: pk;m Kevin dn Kevin | Host | xe/he/itIf you'd like to not type your proxy, and would like it to just automatically proxy you, you can do
pk;ap front , pk;ap latch, or pk;ap (name)pk;ap front will make the bot auto proxy the last registered fronterYou can register whos fronting, with pk;sw (name), and even put in multiple names if people are with you.
example: pk;sw kevin / pk;sw kevin jordan razpk;ap latch causes the last proxied member to be the one it auto proxies too. For example, if you had 'latch' on, you'd type your first message with your proxy, and every message after that wouldn't need it. This will stop working after a few hours though, which you can correct with pk;ap timeout disablepk;ap (name) will just make it auto proxy exclusively to the person who's name is entered.There is also commands that will add information to your 'pk card' which you can see with pk;m (name)for pronouns, do pk;m (name) pronouns (pronouns)
example: pk;m kevin pronouns xe/xem/xyr, he/him, it/itsFor putting your birthday, do pk;m (name) birthday (date)
example: pk;m kevin birthday Dec 19thYou can also put a description about yourself with pk;m (name) description (description)Some people like to be simple with their descriptions, some people like to be fancy with them. Its entirely up to the individual. If you're unsure what you want to go with, here's a basic template.
