CHARACTER RULES
1) Newcomers can have a maximum of 2 characters. Later you may ask one of the moderators if you can create a 3rd one.
-- People who have been consistently roleplaying in the forum for a lenghthy amount of time are allowed more characters. You are allowed your first three until a Mod decides you're capable of having more. The maximum limit is seven characters.
-- Temporary characters are allowed, but please PM one of the Mods/Staff about it first. This also includes minor characters to further a plot.
*You may use your 'temporary' characters for as long as you need them. However, if we feel like they're overstaying their welcome, well, we'll let you know.
-- This is no excuse to create a bunch of characters just to have them leave when you don't want them anymore. If you are going to create 3-4 characters, we expect you to use them and not leave them to be forgotten or have them randomly 'leaving'.
--
*With the move back to America, and subsequently to a smaller place without cottages, we'll have to restrict the pets back down to Patches and L. Sorry ): However, if you can come up with creative enough reasons for why this pet will not get eaten by a house full of bloodthirsty vampires and make it convincing, we may consider allowing it to stay!
a) Only domesticated animals please; this includes: Dogs, cats, rodents, birds, horses, reptiles and insects. No exotic or endangered animals. If you are unsure about a pet, you may PM a moderator.
-- We already have two cats living with the coven, Patches and L. Please note that these pets are very dominant and protective of their territory, so don't expect a dog to be welcome to roam around without it's owner.
2) Before joining the roleplay, post a description of your character in this topic.
-- Your character can be vampire, werewolf, human, or any combination of those.
-- You can add another character at any time, as long as you follow rule #1.
-- IMPORTANT! Human characters shouldn't know about the existence of vampires unless they have a very good reason.
3) NO EVIL CHARACTERS! We don't want evil and/or badguy characters. Veggy-vamps are preferred but not compulsory. If you insist on having one, please send a PM to one of the Moderators and we will discuss it thoroughly before we reply with our answer.
4) No one can have a character that is un-beatable [Mary Sues and Gary Stus, looking at you]. Everyone has to have some sort of weakness. That means no god-like abilities. Too many abilities are also forbidden. All abilities should have a weakness.
a) No godmodding. An example of this would be if your character 'screamed so loud, there was blood pouring out of Ira's ears', LM would be very upset that you didn't give her a say-so in how Ira's ears would like to have reacted.
5) Your character must be accepted by a moderator before you can join the roleplay. - In the same manner, your character must be accepted into the coven by either Merik or Eva Orion if they wish to live with them.
Note: If help is needed in getting your character into the roleplay, we're happy to help out in the chat board!
