Guidelines for Character Creation (IMPORTANT!)

[Zombzeh Nayt-o!]

With this forum, our goal is not to stifle creativity in the slightest. In fact, we're prefer that our members be as creative as possible with their characters. Unfortunately, there are a few stipulations that we have to introduce. We're going to treat this more as a guideline than anything, but you can easily view them as rules. They are as follows:

1. Dystopia is a "Mild Powers" forum. Characters whose abilities are godlike in nature are illegal. If it is imperative, please contact an administrator or global moderator about the power. If you're running a plot (GMing/DMing, however you wish to call it), it's reasonable to assume that you can introduce support/antagonist characters above mild powers level for the sake of the plot.

2. Please keep in mind the differences between Dystopia and Utopia. You can find that information here.

3. Dystopia is an alternate universe roleplay. Other roleplaying forums (such as Ayenee, Aoyn, Paragon, and etc.) have no canon relationship with the Dystopian Universe. You can feel free to RP characters associated with those realms if you like, but not in the forums of Dystopia or Utopia. The Misc. RP section is where you'd go for that. This board is for character sheets pertaining to Utopia/Dystopia; for characters not related to that Universe, please post the character sheet in the Misc. RP forum.

That's not to say that a character and/or plot cannot be ported, though. It's just best if you suggest that the ported character/plot has existed only on Utopia/Dystopia for its duration. Because this roleplay is alternate universe, events pertaining to other universes have no merit on characters and plots here. Xexoria, for example, was once strictly in the Ayenee Universe, but its incarnation on Utopia is assumed to have always been on Utopia.

4. Please be creative. We can't stress this enough: we don't want to see a flagrant copy of a character from a show, movie, or book. Fan roleplays can be done in the Misc. RP section, but characters such as Drizz't Do'Urden should not ever appear on Utopia/Dystopia.

5. Mythologically, there could possibly be hundreds of gods that once existed. A character can subscribe to any pantheon that you wish, and the particular god(s) may have once existed or currently do exist. We're not very strict with this subject matter at all. We do not want to see members roleplaying gods without permission, though. Since the nature of gods are game breaking, it's best to ask permission first, lest you already intended to use the god on a mild-powers basis.
