Creation Rules

Have an idea for a character and all you need to do is make that character thread? Make sure you are familiar with these rules before creating a character to use in the forums; we cannot approve any character applications that do not meet these rules.

  1. All rules of the site and roleplay still apply here.
  2. No duplicate first names or names that sound too similar. This includes nicknames but does not include last names. To avoid this simply use the Character Namelist
  3. On the subject of last names:
    • Last names can be awarded to a character by an important entity, such as a God, Oracle, or Royal through a special ceremony
    • Last names can be inherited through family
    • A character may give themselves or make up a last name, but it is unofficial and will not be truly recognize
    • For most others, their last name is simply [father's name]son or they do not possess a last name.
    • However, for bastard children last names are not like [father's name]son. Often these children will taken on a common last name. For more information, look below to our Bastard Names section.
  4. Do not create a Mary Sue character; that is, your character cannot be absolutely perfect. Everyone has a weakness of some sort, and we wish to reflect that here.
  5. Your character may not have abilities that allow them to godmod or powerplay over others.
  6. You may not create a God, Oracle, or Royal unless you have applied for and been accepted into a plot position. If you create one of these beings, your app will be rejected.
  7. When posting a character app, please use the template we have provided in the placed below under the header character form. You may add anything you want to to this form, but you may not take anything out of this form. Without it, we cannot approve your character!
  8. If you host your character pages somewhere else, you still need to make a thread here, but all you need to do in your thread is link your character page. Please make sure your character page contains all the same information as that of the on-forums character application, and a mod will hop over to check it out as soon as possible!

Otherwise, go wild! We love to see what you can come up with! Be as creative and original as you want, and have lots of fun!

Character Form

If you have an idea for a character, please fill out this form and post it in a thread in the Waiting for Approval forum, and a member of the staff will look over it as soon as possible! When creating your thread, please put the character's name for the subject. In the thread description, please state what species they are and if they have a specification. Example would be a "Demon (death)."

[b]Character's Name:[/b]
[b]Nicknames:[/b] (If Any)
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Species:[/b]
[b]Abilities:[/b]
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[b]Personality:[/b]
[b]History:[/b] (If requested or needed to explain the power behind a character)
[b]Roleplay Sample[/b]: Only do this on your first character application!

Some applications may need a bit more information then others. This would be species such as: demons, angels, lions, and wolves. For example, with angels and demons it would be nice to know what house they come from so we can judge the application more fairly. The wolves and lions should specify if they are loners, rogue, or if they belong to a pride or pack respectively. These are just examples and it is best to use judgement here when making an application.

Picking a Species

Picking a species to play could be the hardest part. Staff has some species that have been fleshed out for the site and there is always room for more. If you would like to play a character that does not fit into this list do not feel limited. Staff is always here to help. Below are some of the species we have to offer.
