Below are a few notes to keep in mind when applying and/or making your character on the site to ensure you have a quick approval! - Canon Characters -
- Deceased Characters: You are permitted to be characters that died in the series, but please be mindful of the timeline. For example: threads with Cora can only take place in the first two seasons. You can however have more freedom in the AU board for these characters, so click HERE for more information about that.
- Missing Details: If not a great deal of information is known about your character (i.e. history) then you are permitted to make it up. However, please remain consistent with the events of the show and how the character was portrayed.
- Made Up Characters -
- Magic: In terms of them having magic, we are going to have to ask that for the time being, no OCs have any natural magic skills. In the show, magic is often used for evil, with the exception of certain groups (i.e. fairies). If your character is someone based from a fairytale (for example: Jasmine, etc) we ask that they not have any magic skills. If you would like to make up a fairy character, then that of course is different. If you have any concerns about this, please do contact us as we can give you more information.
- Balance: We do ask that you keep your character balanced. For example, they can not be good at everything. Pick a couple of things they are especially skilled at, and please try to make it different from the canons. See the next point for more information.
- Originality: As we are a canon based role play, we ask that your characters and plots not mirror those of the canons. For example: if you are creating a character do not make her a princess who's father was killed by her step mother and was forced to flee. Or, a character who is able to instantly tell when someone is lying. It is not fair to take traits and plots from canons which make them unique and original.
- Relationships: We have stated before that if you are making up a character that is meant to be the romantic interest of another on the site, then you must check with that member! For example: if you wish to play John Smith, and we have a Pocahontas here on the site, you must check with the member who plays her to make sure your bio fits into the way she has created the character on the site. We will be checking with members to make sure you have their approval.
- Canon Mention: If you wish to incorporate a canon in your bio then you must have the permission of the member who plays that canon. If the character is not being actively played on the site, then we ask you not include them in your bio at all. This is to avoid any future member who wishes to take that canon to feel pressured to engage in a plot apart from what is seen on the series.
- We are no longer accepting any OCs with Ice/Snow related powers.
We will be updating this list if we think of anything else! Thank you for reading, and as always, feel free to message us if you have any questions/concerns about your character creation!
