Here are the rules specific to Character creation
1)So First off, NO RPING until your character has been approved and moved to the appropriate board. If requested to make changes, just add a new reply when done so we can check it again. Please don't bug staff about approving your character unless it's been at least a week without a reply. We do have lives outside of the RP ^^ THIS INCLUDES NPCS!
2) Face Claims are encouraged, but by no means required. If you want to use someone famous, please post a claim for them in the FC forum. If it is just a picture from a website then just link to the website where you found it. Real Life Face claims only. No Animanga!
3) If you want to have some sort of special hindrance(like a severe injury or disability) A limited number of special hindrances or abilities will be allowed, so please don't gripe if we won't let you play it. Also, for any mental disabilities, PLEASE research the disability fully. We will revoke our permission to play with that disability if we see you not RPing it properly.
4) Remember, this is Pern. No unnatural hair or eye colors. Also, Pernese use the naming convention of mixing the parent's names to make the child's name. While modern Earth names are allowed to a point(I prefer an unusual spelling), the parent's names must be able to form the name somehow. Example- You want to name your character Allison. To make it seem more Pern-like, make it Alasyn. So her parents would need to have names like Kesynna and Galapo,
5) Accepted Candidate ages are 12-25. If you want someone older or younger, you need to purchase the Ineligible Candidate store item. Note: If your candidate is under the age of 16, their dragon will not Fly or Chase until the character is 16. While canonically all dragons rise or Chase after a certain age, underage relations is iffy in most places.
6) You may start characters off owning Firelizards, but you must purchase the appropriate Eggs from the shop using Marks. All new characters can start woth ONE firelizard at no cost, ranled gin or below. A normal character of any sort can never own more than 5 firelizards. If you would like to increase the limit of firelizards your character may have, there are options you can purchase in the Site Store.
7) Pern dragon names end in -th. No Exceptions. Wher names are based on their Handler's name and always end in -sk. No Exceptions. Males traditionally contract their name into what is called an Honorific. This is to make it easier to call out names in mid-threadfall. Females on fighting dragons are welcome to contract to an honorific if they desire. Queenriders never contract their names.
8) While there is no limit on the number of Characters you may have on the site, we do have a limit on the number of Queens allowed per person. Each PLAYER is allowed to own ONE Queen dragon and ONE Queen Wher. Queens are Midori and Shiroi. If an Aoi is gender mutated, she would count as that player's Queen for whichever.
9) When Making a Candidate, please do not add the form to the character sheet. The form is PM'd to Haruka.
10) You may start with your dragon or wher having mutations, but you need to buy one shop token for each mutation. So if you want a gender-swapped, Albino, undersized wing Chairo, that would be three mutations tokens.
11. You can't chase and catch your own dragons. That's just not fair to anyone who joins the chase and especially so in the case of clutching dragon flight. A Flight is just that, a Flight. You can play a married or weyrmated couple as long as any played out flights end with another dragon catching the female. Note: you can not get around this rule by just always having off screen Flights. Also, ALL Queen mating flights MUST BE played out unless you have permission from an admin to make it off screen.
Rules may be added or changed as needed.
