Character Rules
Before starting on your character, please make sure to read all of this information over, as it is rather important to making a character. Everything you really need to know is right here. If you have any questions, please ask.
Race/Species/Groups
Your characters can ONLY be one of the races listed on the race page. Please try to keep your character's personality similar to that of their race. If they have Daemon/Pure Human blood, they will be neutral. If they have Hellion/Furie blood, they will be closer to evil. If they have Seraph/Nephilim blood, they will be closer to good. Their powers are also affected by their race, so please make sure to keep that in mind.
Pure Daemons are open to play if you've been a member for at least a month. Pure hellions/seraphs will be given out by the admin as plot points.
Ethereals are listed, but are Admin Only. This will not be changing any time soon.
Please make sure to run your options by Admin;Akira.
You are NOT to use ANY Pures or Ethereals in your character's history unless previously accepted by the admin for you to do so.
More information about the different species can be found Right Here.
Names
I know sometimes it can be difficult. But your characters must have a first AND last name. There are a few exceptions to this rule. Pures and Ethereals don't have last names, because there's no reason for them to. If you want your character to go without a last name, you need to have a valid reason and it must be approved by Admin;Akira. Not being able to think of one is not a good reason, go use google if you're struggling.
Loyalties
At the current moment, there are a few different groups to be loyal to. Your options are Kyrarei, Tieri, Ava, and Self. More groups may come to be at a later time.
If you are loyal to Kyrarei, you will be mostly neutral. He is the leader of a mafia. This means that you do whatever Kyrarei tells you to. Basically you work as a dealer of something in the black market, or an assistant to him or any number of groups he serves. You deal mostly in weapons, drugs, organs, poaching, and occasionally people. He has his hand in many many pockets, and basically all of them are illegal. His headquarters are in London, but he comes by quite often, and he is always reachable by phone or text message. Finnian is in charge of the New Orleans branch.
If you are loyal to Tieri, you are more than likely a witch that studies Black Magic and all sorts of forbidden arts. Of course, this is not always the case, but it is simply the most likely.
If you are loyal to Ava, chances are you are involved in Voodoo or Hoodoo, or some other kind of blood magic. Again, this is not always the case.
If you are loyal to Self, this means you currently have no loyalties and you are free to do whatever the hell you want.
Your loyalties will be subject to change. You are allowed to change them whenever you wish, just make sure that there is a good reason for your change.
Powers
You must pick something that is on the list of powers. If there is something that you would like to have, but it's not on the list. Contact Admin;Akira about it. If I decide that the power is acceptable, I will add it to the list, and you will be awarded 50 exp and $100 on a character of your choosing. The amount and levels of a characters powers are based mostly on their age. Natural abilities begin to show around puberty, from ages 10-14. Secondary abilities begin to show from ages 17-21. Tertiary abilities show between 27-30. Their levels go up as they age as well. If you need help discerning what powers should be what levels and how many you should have, please ask an admin for help.
There are a few characters that are granted Unique Abilities. A separate list exists for these powers. However, they absolutely MUST be purchased, via the Shop. You may only purchase a Unique Ability once. The only exception to this rule are Canons, or admin pre-approved characters. They are unique for a reason. Unique abilities may have different levels of power than regular abilities. If there is a power that you think should be a Unique Ability, please contact Admin;Akira about it. If I like your idea and add it to the list, your Unique Ability will be added to a character of your choosing free of charge.
Witches have their own set of powers as well, mostly having spellbooks and various other means to do what they need done. Their powers are "borrowed" from magical beings and as such, they must have a talisman or a special seal or mark that connects them from the being they are drawing their power from. Black and Blood Magics comes from Hellions, White Magic comes from Seraphs.
Application
From here, everything should be pretty simple. Most of everything you need to know is outlined on the base application for you already. But if there's anything you still need to know or have questions about, please ask an admin.
Admin;Akira is working on a guide to help you fill out the new application, it will be linked here when it's finished.
Admin Overwriting
If for any reason, an admin sees you abusing your power/s, your character will be penalized. This means your character will lose a level, or an ability, or whatever the admin sees fit as a punishment. You will, however, after a short probationary period, be able to repurchase a level or an ability. If you are found abusing a Unique Ability, it will be removed permanently from your character.
