canon rules & form

Tags

If you create a canon character, please keep the original thread's title updated with one of the following tags (or make up your own.):
» {open}
--The canon is available for claims.
» {pending}
--Someone has claimed the canon but has gone inactive. / Canon may be available soon.
» {claimed}
--Canon has been claimed.
Once a canon has the tag {claimed}, a staff member will lock the thread.

What?

Create a canon: Copy/paste the Create form and post it in this board. Be sure to post in the celeb claim thread to reserve the canon's celeb.
Become the canon: Reply to the canon's thread stating that you would like to be the canon (unless you have another way of contacting the creator, like IM or something.) Then, go and post in the Applications board, like you would for any other character.

Creating A Canon Character

» Always fill the form out completely. Do not leave a space blank. If one of the fields in the form can be filled out by whoever picks up the canon, state so (Ex.: "Your choice" / "Doesn't matter" , etc., are all fine. Just do NOT leave a space blank!)
» Leave SOME room for creativity. There's no point in creating a canon character if you're going to tell the person who picks it up exactly what to post, how that character would act ALL the time, exactly what the history should be, etc. if that's what you're going to do, play the canon yourself.
» Don't tell someone they can have the canon, and then let somebody else play it. It's rude, and just plain wrong.
» Finally, make a thread with the form. Only one canon per thread, please.

Claiming A Canon Character

» Reply to the desired canon's thread. Post ONCE. Only bump if the person who created the canon has not noticed within two days or so.
» Do not get upset if the canon's creator doesn't accept you.
» Only apply for a canon if you have every intention of playing that character. It's equally as annoying to the canon creator if you do that, as it would be annoying to you if they made a canon then disappeared.
» Don't go haywire with a canon. (For example, if the creator says that the canon is shy and awkward, you can't have them suddenly change and be going to parties and bars and things. Capice?)
» You must have a staff member and the canon's creator accept the full profile before you begin to RP.
