arrow [ Proposed Character Creation / Getting Your Character Approved ]
- Proposed characters, abbreviated as PCs, are your fist step in buying a ticket to get on the Island, and thus have a Taurian character or, in some cases, a Kubri character. We can't very well mutate you if we don't know who you are first, can we?
To make a PC, visit the "Proposed Characters" subforum, and post a thread for your PC. In that thread, you'll include everything you feel you need to make a well-established character. Here are things to include in your PC bio:
Human Appearance (yes, your character must be a normal, non-magical human to begin with. No "action movie star" life, no ex-convicts, and nobody on the run from supervillians. The Kubri would not want an incredibly at-risk personality on their island, because that would only further endanger their project and home.)
Personality
Background - Include their personal history; what made them who they are today? Previous job, childhood, would-be future goals...
Present life - what were they like right up to coming to the island?
Why they would be chosen to become a Taurian, or how they may stumble upon a ticket.
The species they would be spliced with, and a description of the "finished product". Feel free to include conceptual transformation sketches!
~Note: the artists are under NO obligation to follow your morph concepts exactly. They are merely conceptual steps; the finished product is far more important, and will be what is focused upon.
It is NOT required to have to have a preferred species listed in your PC bio! We will do some "mystery" events, in which we will sell tickets to people who will be spliced with an animal they don't know about beforehand. If you are approved with a preferred species listed, your character will be spliced with that animal if you buy a ticket. 3nodding
Keep all of your PC profiles in ONE thread. Yes, you are totally allowed to make more than one PC at a time! You can use separate posts to keep them apart. The characters WILL be approved separately, so it's possible to have one of your PCs approved, and the other turned back for revision.
After you have your PC bio complete, go to the "Proposed Characters Trial RP" subforum. Start up an RP featuring your proposed character; you can use any topic you want, although it must be set somewhere on earth, in the Taurica Nesos storyline. You could play out a snippet of their past or present life, or interact with some of the other PCs. Whatever you like, as long as it provides a good sample of your role play abilities. Please note: All these trial RPs are considered non-canon.
This is done so I or another mod can evaluate your RP abilities, and later approve you and your character (if your RP skills are up to par - we're not that harsh, just use your brain when you write). You can't buy a ticket unless you're approved~
Follow all RP standards listed in the post above. <3 If you want to role RP with someone, but not play as your character, you may - but it must be in THEIR hosted RP. You can't start an RP playing as, say, a random librarian, if your PC is a banker. XD
Character / Literacy approval:
Once you feel your character is perfected enough, post [char-approve] in your thread title! That way, a mod will know to check it out and give you feedback, and possibly character approval. <3
To get your literacy approved, post [lit-approve] in your PC thread title. You must provide links to guild trial RPs you have participated in at the BEGINNING of your PC thread! Mods won't be able to check your literacy otherwise. To be approved, you must follow all role play standards, use proper grammar, have minimal typos (it's okay to have some - they happen.), and write in a generally fluent manner.
Note: If you do not pass literacy approval, you are essentially dismissed from the guild shop, or ever buying a character. If, somehow, you can mend your writing abilities and try RP again, feel free. sweatdrop This community is pro-intelligence. Please don't feel too offended if you are not approved.
arrow [ Kubri - Playing as One]
- Being allowed to play as a Kubri happens on a case-by-case basis, and is achieved by the same basic procedure of a proposed character. Here's how you go abut it:
Since there are far less Kubri than there are Taurians on Taurica Nesos, you MUST PM me before you create a proposed Kubri, to ask if I would even be accepting more Kubri roles.
Once you get the OK, go about making a PC thread in the "Proposed Characters" subforum. Make a bio including the following:
- Appearance
Personality
Background - explain whether they were born or married into the Kubri clan, who they are related to, etc.
Role - what do they do for the clan?
After you've done that, mark your thread title for awaiting approval, and I'll let you know if you're in.
To be allowed to play as a Kubri character, your role play abilities have to be exemplary, and your character has to be well-established, since I'll have to be interacting with it as I play Adella. :'D After that, you're in! <3
