[Updated: 06/MAY/2009]


☆ There is a one week waiting period between applications. Once you have applied and been accepted to the RP, there is a period of ONE WEEK from the date of approval before you can apply for your next character. We understand that people get excited about new RPs, but in the hopes of promoting high quality and involved RPing of ALL characters, a waiting period is being added to ensure that the first character is well established within the community - and that the player is comfortable with the RP - before the player in question picks up another. ☆ AU characters are not allowed. This should go without saying, but OCs (Original characters) are not allowed either. Slight changes in canon - a younger or older version of an established character than the canon explores, for instance - are allowed as long as the basic character him/herself is unchanged. ☆ Two versions of the same character may be present in the RP at any time - typically, this allows people to play a character that has different characteristics in the manga canon and anime canon, or in a game and comic canon, for instance. ☆ A single player can have a maximum of seven characters total. However, you are not allowed to have more than one version of any given character. As in you cannot apply for a character from one point of canon and then apply for the exact same character from a different point. Only one version per player. You are also not allowed to apply for two major characters from the same fandom unless the characters in question have little to no interaction with one another. Applying for two characters who are canonically in a close relationship is highly frowned upon, and may cause problems. Likewise, building a relationship between two of your own characters through RP is highly discouraged. If this happens, you will be warned, and if it continues, your most recent character in the pairing will be removed. If you wish to play out your dream pairing, then find someone to play the other half for you. ☆ We need some way of proving that you are applying for an actual character, instead of using Random Bystander #245534 as a personal avatar. If rudimentary knowledge of the canon does not bring up any information on personality (that is to say, if the character serves a minor role that takes more than a little scouring of Wikipedia or a fansite to learn about), expect the character to take longer to be accepted. If there is no established character for who you are applying for, you will likely be denied. If the applicant still believes that there is enough canonical information to prove a solid character basis after the mods have not found anything, they will be asked to provide said information to review. "Established character" in this context refers to a detailed canon background or personality at least. We need more than simply a face and name to be established. ☆ ADDENDUM: FANON : Some characters are minor enough that they are not granted extended notice in the source material, but are widely popular in fan circles. A prime example of this is the character of Mail "Matt" Jeevas in Death Note. Fanon (Fan-established canon) is acceptable as a character basis in the event that it is unanimous or nearly so - most if not all fans in the fandom need to agree on the character's traits for them to be acceptable in this RP. ☆ "Background" MUST have a minimum of 400 words. ☆ "Personality" MUST have a minimum of 200 words. Word Count Tool ☆ Please keep in mind that despite the fact that you have respected the word limits in both "Background" and "Personality", the content will still be submitted to evaluation. And please do remember that despite the limit, we still maintain the right to reject an application if we feel there isn't enough information regarding the character. ☆ Your "Sample Journal Post" in the application must be written as if the character were writing in their own journal, diary, or blog. Typically, this means it will be in first person. ☆ "Sample RP Post" must be in third person prose. ☆ ONLY to comment if you are posting an application. ☆ ONLY ☆NAVIGATION☆ ↺ PREMISE ↺ ↺ ADVERTISEMENT ↺ ☆ GETTING STARTED ☆ RULES ↻ F.A.Q. ↺ TAKEN CHARACTERS ↻ WANTED CHARACTERS RESERVATIONS ↻ APPLICATION ↺ IC/OOC RULES ☆ IN GAME ☆ HOUSING ↻ THE CITY ↺ ELECTRONICS CORE MANUAL ↻ ADD/REMOVE LISTS ↺ HIATUS ↻ DROP ☆ CONTACT ☆ PLAYERS ↻ MODERATORS ↺ GENERAL SUGGESTIONS ↻ CURSE SUGGESTIONS MOD/GAME CRITIQUE ↻ CHARACTER CRITIQUE ↻ CHARACTER VAULT |
