Canons
- There's no limit on canon characters. That being said you may apply for three and they are officially yours to keep unless they get taken away from you by staff for whatever reason. For the rest consider it NPCing because if someone else wants them and makes a great application the staff will let the person have that character.
- If you want to have some relation to a canon PM it to Tobias. You must have a good, valid reason.
- If the reason you want to play the character is to put him or her in a romantic relationship with one of your original characters the staff will take the character away from you.
- Make sure the character acts like they did in the books. For example Cassie won't suddenly develop a fear of cats. That being said we encourage you to develop them.
- Actively post as your canon at least once a week and don't hold people up or we will consider opening your character back up if you don't have a valid reason for absence.
- If you're going to be gone let us know and we'll NPC the character.
- A profile is not necessary for a canon, but it's nifty to have.
Profiles
- Nobody is perfect so make sure your character has his/her bad points as well as good ones.
- You can add fields to the form, but you *must* follow our format when posting your profile.
- There's no limit on original characters, just please don't take so many that you overload yourself or make the site dependent on you.
- If you have the morphing power there must be a valid reason for it.
- Keep a timeline in your character profile of threads your character has participated in.
- Anything out of the ordinary is going to require Tobias' permission. If he needs to discuss it with the rest of the staff be patient.
- Be patient when waiting for your profile to be approved. We’re getting to it as fast as we can but we have lives too.
- If you intend to kill off a character, please PM a moderator or admin. You cannot kill off a canon without explicit permission. They would see a gyrfalcon flying in the sky at some point in their profile.
- If you're making a new species not canon to the Animorphs universe you need to PM Tobias.
- Face claim is optional. It’s neat to have one but you do not need a celeb pic.
