Information on Character Creation

[Whim]

A lot of this information is scattered around in the Information forum, but for simplicity, here it all is again:

Rules:

• Everyone starts with two character slots. You get one additional slot per 50 IC posts you make, and you can also buy additional character slots from the shop.
  
• Everyone may have two prince or queen-ranked dragons at most. This limit does not increase by posting, but additional high rank slots may be purchased from the shops.
  
• The Tailed have human-shaped pupils, regardless of species.
  
• If making a Tailed character, please check the Tailed subforum to see if there are already established standards for that species of Tailed.
  
• If there are no preestablished standards, you may help establish the standards for a species of Tailed after your app for a character of that species has been accepted.
  

Character Types & Traits:

• Queenriders may only be gained through Impression. You may create any other dragonrider at this time.
  
• The Weyrwoman, Weyrleader, and Headwoman are established NPCs.
  
• Lord Holders, their family and Craft Masters can be created, assuming that there is not already an established Lord of that Hold that your app contradicts. I will, however, be likely to be a bit more critical of these apps.
  
• Candidates can always be created. At this time, we have ten PC candidates and fifteen eggs.
  
• You may also create non-rider and non-candidate Weyr residents, though please keep in mind how they'll be able to interact with other characters on the site.
  
• Watch whers do not exist in this Pern.
  
• Currently, we have no 'mutation' color dragons; the second and third set of dragons were created very soon after the first set was, and IC, no one views any of them as odd.
  
• Firelizards are still only canon colors.
  

Applications:

• You may post in-progress apps; just let me know when you finish them. I will frequently be in the cbox; if you can't find me there, you can PM me.
  
• At this time, Whim is the only staff member, and so the only person who can look at apps.
