ROSTER

Is there someone from your character's life you'd like to see become a PC? Do you have an idea for a type of character you'd like to see in-game and wish someone would play? Fill out the form below and submit them here to place those characters on the game roster. Think of it like a Wanted list designed specifically for OCs and native AUs.

We've made two forms: one for the specific characters, like your PC's brother, their mentor, their childhood nemesis, i.e. specific individuals who have specific ties to at least one PC. The other form is for character concepts: ideas for types of characters rather than specific individuals. This should be used for general ideas you'd like to see someone play that don't necessarily come with built-in links to PCs, like "a Warden who slit throats at Adamant" or "an aging tourney knight who's come to the Inquisition for a last stab at glory."

Posting

It's not necessary to fill in all of the fields -- in fact if the specifics aren't important then we encourage you to leave them blank; most players prefer to come up with their own character's name, for instance, so unless you've referred to a specific name so many times in-game that retconning it now would be difficult, it's probably best to allow some freedom there. General answers are also fine, like age ranges or suggesting several possible nationalities. You'll note that we didn't include a place to specify a PB. This is intentional, because we don't want to create or encourage situations in which players feel like they can't use a PB for a PC they're apping because another player has already "claimed" that actor for an unplayed character.

You can use this page to request canon characters or castmates as well, whether they would be native AUs or rifters—but please only post requests for characters you specifically want or have specific ideas for. It's implied that most canon characters would love any castmate at all, so there's no need to list everyone in your canon here. If you submit more than one or two requests for specific castmates we may ask you to pick the most important. Please also be aware that we won't require someone who apps a native AU of a canon character to adhere to an AU version/history proposed on this page if they have their own ideas.

Comments are screened so that we can review submissions before they're posted to make sure the general concepts are ones we'd allow in-game, and also to prevent duplicates or allow us to ask clarifying questions of the posting player, if necessary. Note that while we encourage players interested in picking up a specific character to speak with the player who made the post, we don't require it, and sign-off from the posting player isn't necessary for an app to be approved.

Claiming

Claiming characters or concepts off the roster will be first-apped, first-served, and we'll remove the posts once an app has been approved. Please note that the fact that a post has been allowed on the roster doesn't guarantee that we will approve an app submitted for it! You'll still have to go through the normal app review process.

Specific Characters

While it's not strictly required, we strongly encourage players interested in claiming a specific character off the roster to speak with the posting player whose contact information is listed in the form before apping. It's likely that the player has additional information/ideas and can help flesh out the character's history and relationships with PCs.

For specific OCs claimed from this list, during the app review process we will be checking to make sure that the essential elements of the character listed in the roster form are matched in the app. If, for instance, the form describes a PC's sister as being 35, constantly stubborn and grouchy, but your app for the sister claims that she's 22, a constant ray of sunshine and a total pushover, revisions may be necessary. This is to ensure fairness to current players, so they don't have to suddenly contend with their PC being closely linked to a character who is nothing like they envisioned and whose relationship to theirs and place in their PC's background no longer makes sense.

Note that this is not the case for character concepts. Because those are just general ideas, apping players can adapt them as desired. Additionally, if you would like to app a native AU version of a canon character that doesn't line up with an AU idea someone else has proposed here, that's fine!
