RESERVATION
Now with reserving a canon or a play by you will have a week to complete the application otherwise your reservation will be canceled. You can reserve two play bys at a time. Also don't take all the good face claims, leave some for other people, second word is make. Though when reserving a canon you may only reserve one at a time, so other people have a fair chance in reserving more of the popular ones.
CHARACTERS
We're not picky about how many characters you have (I personally am a character whore just so you know) but please keep in mind that for canons there are only so many so each person can have up to four canons only. And don't try to say you're someone else and try to take another canon, because we will know, third word is admins. Also try to keep the ratio of genders even, so for every three females you must have a male.
DECEASED CHARACTERS
The deceased characters in the canon list are playable. But and there is a but you must explain how they survived and where they are now. It must be well thought out and make sense. And for these characters you mustget the approval of two staff members to be accepted.
PLAY-BYS
If you're choosing to play a canon that was in the movies then please use the actor or actress that portrayed that character as a play by. However if the characters role was minor such as Siryn then the play by can be changed. Just talk it over with a staff member first. And to all those out there who are making characters please do not take the play bys for the portrayed canons unless you are applying for that character. We will not except your application if you do.
POWERS
When choosing powers for your character please try to make them different from other characters. We understand that there are only so many combinations but don't flat out make your OC have telepathy and diamond skin, they are not Emma Frost. As for classes please no class fives unless you're applying for Jean Grey. However there is room for discussion if you truly believe that your character should be a class five, but it must be approved by an admin
C-BOX
Please keep it clean, no arguing, no over excessive swearing, and absolutely no insulting people or their characters on this site. Also do not bug an admin through the cbox. Don't whine about how your application hasn't been approved yet, we'll get on it when we can. And for staff no staff talk on the cbox, we have PMs for that.
