So, it's been a while since we've done an update - mostly because most of us already know what's going on. I'd just like to re-list what it is we're looking for, and what it is we don't want.
Types of characters we want:
- Single Earth members (always)
Humans (ALWAYS!)
Vampires (Younger vampires only. Not all vampires are insanely old, and young vamps can be really fun. This means 200 or younger, unless I give express permission. No, that doesn't mean ask.)
Crows and Sparrows
Rat Snakes, Boas, Pythons
Hyenas
Ramsa PD
Types of characters we don't want:
- Falcon shapeshifters
Golden Hawk shapeshifters
Feline shapeshifters
Crossbreed shapeshifters
Triste Witches
NYPD. They're looking pretty full, and Ramsa is kind of fail in that department.
Made-up shifter breeds -- without admin approval for why they exist. If it's not on the shapeshifter list in the information forum, then it requires admin approval.
- Old vamps (Anything older than 200 is going to require talking me into it, and it had better be effing awesome. I mean it.)
Anything canon from another fandom
Anything that doesn't make SENSE. This is a modern dark fantasy realm, people. There are no fifteen year olds that can fight vampires, orphans are auto-fail, and superly-asian characters (even non-Asians who are super into the Asian thing are going to fall into this category. There ARE other cultures and it is NOT reasonable to walk around in a kimono with a katana for your weapon.) will be refused. This is NOT an anime story, and so anime characters will not be accepted.
Drama Llamas. Seriously, guys, your character does NOT have to have a super depressing, tragic mary sue past to be interesting. If you make a character like this, chances are pretty good that I'm going to tell you to tone down the drama and make a less cliched character. Same with characters purely for smutty situations and ship characters. Don't do it. Just, don't.
This shouldn't be something I have to list here, but just to be safe...We follow the canon, while not actually touching the canon characters usually. That means that none of the canons have any mysteriously lost children or other fandom-type stuff. No, you can't be Jeshickah's daughter from before when she was human, made into a vamp and even crazier than mommy. No. Unless you mention it to me and I don't start twitching and snap into an alternate consciousness that allows my body to go on a mass-killing spree, don't do it. And if you don't KNOW that I won't do that and catch you in the crossfire, don't ask.
I've mentioned the 'Don't ask' policy a few times, but here it is in detail. Don't ask.
If you don't follow this policy and you DO ask, I will give you an answer, and then an even more important policy comes into play. Don't ask AGAIN. While you may survive asking the first time, repeatedly hounding myself or one of my mods for something is the most surefire way to never get it. Ever. Everrrrrrr.
Also, don't forget we have a canon list now in the NPC area. That means if you can't think of a name/PB/type on your own, we've actually taken the time to make some bases. That can be found here (http://angdar.com/nightsomen/index.php?board=43.0). Just bear in mind that you DO have to ask before you just take one, and that our rules still apply - if we've got an overabundance of a certain type of thing, that particular NPC won't be available at that time.
(Also, some of you may notice about half of my profiles are empty - I've been rewriting them steadily for the last few months now. Sort of a pain in the ass when I can't center down on one, but I promise I do have a To-Do list full of them and I will be getting around to it eventually. Any questions you have, obviously, can simply be directed to me on THIS account.)
