Info post format
Before you request your claim, please fill in the form below and post it onto your character's journal. This is not an application. Please keep it brief!
The purposes of the info post are:
✦ For the mods to check for things like game-breaking or seriously overpowered abilities, and that you're abiding by the conditions of your character type.
✦ For your fellow players to have an idea of who your character is, and have the opportunity to easily view power Opt-ins or content opt-out posts.
Please note: the primary audience of your info post is other players. Keep this in mind as you write. During claims, the mods may ask you to clarify, edit, or remind you to add important bits of your character. This is a conversation, not a reprimand.
Use fancy html at will, but please keep it visually clear. You are encouraged to keep the information in your info post up to date.
Players are expected to routinely update their info posts to reflect their changing inventory.
Player
Name: What name you go by in pretendy-funtimes land
Preferred Pronoun: The pronoun you prefer to be used when others refer to you.
Contact: Where can you be reached for plotting or concerns?
Character
Name: All names and aliases the character goes by / is known by
Canon: Both the name of the specific canon and the franchise/universe; if OC please put "original character"
AU: If your character is an AU, please sum up the AU in a few words, such as "Modern AU" or "Sex swap" etc. If this is a canon character, feel free to omit this section entirely.
Pull-point: The time in canon your character is pulled from. Please be specific.
Power Opt-in post link: Link to an Opt-in post, where players can post to give you permission to use your character's powers on their character. Things like Telepathy or transfiguration would apply here. Write "N/A" if your character has no abilities requiring permissions. **NOTE** Please list the abilities on the Opt-in page itself. This should ideally be it's own entry on your journal and not combined with a general RP catch all, but can be combined with AM's Content opt-out if you wish. Example!
Content Opt-out post link: Link to and Opt-out post where players can view any subject matter that may be considered triggering about your character, and have the opportunity to ask you not to bring up that subject matter in tags. Write "N/A" if your character does not come with trigger warnings. This should ideally be it's own entry on your journal and not combined with a general RP catch all, but can be combined with AM's Power opt-in if you wish. Example!
In the case that you have a situation where content must be opted-in, place it in Powers Opt-in, and make a small note on your Content Opt-out post that it is available.
Age: Where applicable, supply both their canon numerical age (approximate is okay), and the apparent age in human years.
Gender/Sex: The character's biological sex and gender identity. If these overlap, you only need mark it once. If the character is likely to be mistaken for a different sex/gender, please also include that here.
Appearance: Should include height; hair & eye color; special things of note (like a limp, being blind, having pointy ears, missing an eye, specific visual mannerisms - also things like a stutter); and a picture of their full body (if there are no pictures, either use a PB or supply a quick description.
History: Keep this section as brief as possible. This section is particularly relevant for characters that fall under any category but "canon," and characters with unclear histories that involve player judgement. Book versus Film differences also go here. Characters that fall under a CR-AU should also include their game history. (100 word minimum, 200-300 words ideal, 500 words max. Certain character types are given more leeway. Older characters with lengthier sections are grandfathered.)
Personality: A quick idea of what your character is like in no more than a paragraph. Please mention here if your character comes with anything people should be aware of OOCly, such as being manipulative or clingy, or come with trigger warnings. This section is meant to function as an "heads up when you tag this character this is what you're dealing with" informational piece for other players, not as a "look how well I understand this character" essay. (100 word minimum, 200-300 words ideal, 500 words max. Certain character types are given more leeway. Older characters with lengthier sections are grandfathered.)
Abilities: A brief idea of what they can do. (This is a section the mods will be looking at closely, please keep it list-like or bullet-pointed.)
Inventory: Did they bring anything into the game that exceeds "a set of clothes"? This section can also be updated if they gain other interesting things. (This is a section the mods will be looking at closely.)
Other: Anything else that seems important to mention and didn't fit elsewhere.
