Character Policies and Guidelines

If the name of the character isn´t "Link" but it´s similar....Like "Icelink", is it going to be approved?

Sure it will.

So long as the story isn't a complete and obvious carbon copy of The Legend of Zelda and the pasts of the many characters named Link.

Actually Icelink isn't really a name it's more of a type of link. But yeah you didn't ask that you asked would it get approved. I don't believe they put too many on the name but everything else can't be link and his history. Like said above "As long as the story isn't a complete an obvious carbon copy"

Oh haha I made typo... jeez. No reason to go all crazy on meh.

You made a typo? I didn't even notice I was just telling my point of view.

Can you have....say 5 characters if they all travel together?

I wouldn't go more then two that travel together. Remember this Rping not a story. Other people are going to have to use those character that are together. So I wouldn't even try if I was you.

Well I meant if they were all my characters.

My point is you would be using them all in rps together. Having to read through five profiles for one takes time. Two your not going to remember five different character personally fighting and other things. Sure if the character is your you'll remember that but someone that rping with these five character isn't going to want to. So you'll have bad powering and other things going on. It's just not good to have five characters travel together.

Now you can slowly build up your character that you have. But don't put all of them on one Rp together. It may sound like a good idea but it's just doesn't work well. So go head and makes as many you want but remember you have to use the other character before getting about other approved. But again five one shot is a bad idea and you might now even get the approver to look through five at once.

Hey, I'm new here. I tried making a RPG character and it said I have insufficient privileges to post it for some reason. Can anyone help me because I can't seem to start any threads either.

You need to make at least one post I believe to start making threads. You should be able to now.

So, we just post a thread in this forum?

Yep you post a thread with your character name or something like that. Then you wait for one of the approver to come a long to tell you if its ok. The list of approver can be found on the first page and little bit down from the first post. If you feel you have been forgot of your character is on the second page you can PM one to look at it.

Is it against the rules to take a pic from somewhere (not copyrighted) and modify it and
use it for our character?

Nope you can use a picture that comes from somewhere or have it made by someone.

Actually, I got yelled at once for doing such a thing ._. It's better to ask, if you can, then to just take it.

He said not copyrighted and I haven't seen anyone get yelled at by a approve for having a picture as there character.

How long after making the character thread do I wait before having to PM a mod asking (politely)?

Sorry I'm impatient...
