Character Creation Guidelines *We Recommend You Read This*
By: Princess Cadance Date: April 14, 2016, 7:08 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Not many rules about character creation. Make it whatever
creature you want. Dragon, pony, changeling, griffins, goat,
donkey, abominable snowman, anything! They can be a villain or a
hero or even just your average joe. Just no humans please.
Please do not make a canon character without admin permission.
This is to avoid duplicates. There will be a thread listing all
of the taken canon characters. PM an admin if you are interested
in claiming one. Hold off on Mane 6 characters and the
princesses for now.
The biographies can be structured however you like it. Remember,
you do not need to follow MLP canon completely! You can even
have your own small head canons for your canon characters. Just
don't go too far with it.
Canon character's aren't required to have a bio but if you want
to write one, go right ahead!
Your avatar image (the one that appears on the left under your
name) should you choose to use one, should be a picture of
something related to your OC. This is to also avoid some
confusions. For example, Cadance's avatar is a picture of
Cadance. It could also be a picture of his/her cutie mark.
We want to encourage as much creativity as possible. Therefore,
we will not be checking characters before they are allowed the
post. Maybe some people aren't as strong when it comes to making
a character bio. It's unfair to not allow them to participate
because of that. HOWEVER, admins have the right to tell any user
to change their OC if they feel they are too overpowered or do
not fit the setting/timeline.
That does mean there are still some restrictions:
No robots or cyborgs
No humans (aside from Equestria Girls)
No aliens (There are exceptions. This is mainly so you don't
make like a human like character to bypass the no human rule)
No OC's that are "From the future" (If you give an admin a good
reason, then we may allow it, but it's unlikely)
This is a strong encouragement, that you do not make a robot
character with sonic speed and armed nukes and laser guns that
represents every element in the Elemenet of Harmony and is
impossible to beat.
Pre-established relationships are for you all to decide between
yourselves. Both parties need to be aware and be okay with them
knowing each other. If a canon character is unclaimed, try to
stay away from making a relationship with them unless it's
confirmed in the show (for example Lyra and Bon Bon definitely
know each other).
Also, as stated in the rules, in order to ship, both parties
must consent. DO NOT ship yourself with a character without any
permission. Even if it's an unclaimed canon character.
(Characters are more fun when they are not perfect. Rping with a
perfect character isn't exactly exciting and fair. Flaws are
what make character development fun)
