Further Information

General Guidlines

  • Ensure at least the basics and a summary paragraph are complete before roleplaying your character
  • You can use existing or your own custom species, locations and magical discipline for your character. If they have not yet been involved in roleplay describe them in your biography.
  • A character cannot be a hybrid of more than 3 species. Characters that are hybrids of 3 species are infertile.
  • Do not modify another user's character page without their permission
  • There are no formal restrictions on your abilities and starting equipment
  • There is no formal character approval. If a character is reported for being overpowered we may review your biography
  • You must not use a Canon character from any existing genre (e.g. Gandalf from Lord of the Rings)
  • If you use artwork or illustrations, please provide a reference link to the artist.
