Character Claims for Close-cast Original Characters

Arda Marred allows a special kind of character that usually isn't acceptable to other games. For our purposes, we're calling these "Close-cast Original Characters." For both the comfort of other players and quality control, we have a few hoops to jump through before you can start playing.

A Close Cast Canon OC is a character that logically must or could exist in canon, but is not named or mentioned, and has connections to canon characters.

These characters can be played at Arda Marred, but with a few conditions.

✦ The character cannot contradict or influence existing canon information.
✦ At least one of the canon characters the OC has close connections to must be currently in the game. (For one month or longer)
All canon characters that the OC has close connections to that are currently in game must be comfortable with your OC, and will be asked to vouch for you.

Examples include Maglor's wife, Hermione Granger’s cousin, or Nyota Uhura’s childhood best friend. This does not include characters such as Spock's long lost sister, or Legolas's other Dwarf BFF, as these contradict existing canon information.

While this won’t be strictly policed, please try to avoid the “Mary Sue” or “Gary Stu” archetype character.

To claim such a character, please comment here using the form below, then contact your close cast. They will be asked to vouch for you by commenting under your claim request.

Note: The mods reserve the right to ask you for additional voucher(s) if we feel there is a close-cast character you have excluded that is currently in game.

Name: Your name
Player who referred you: Name of another player who invited you to Arda Marred. (Write "self" if you are already a player here)

That's absolutely fine by me! I was expecting it, from my talks with others and reading threads while getting ready to come to this game.

I'm not particularly attached to this idea, but I thought that it made sense for her history.
> The devil and demons were often imagined with pointy ears. At certain times looking like that might have been very unsafe.
> Elves heal quickly and don't scar much, and by the middle ages she had acquired a good amount of medical skill, so she knew that if she took off the tips of her ears surgically she would recover with certainty and fairly speedily. The idea sounded great at the time, but her ears probably looked a bit disfigured after so she had to hide them anyway.
> In modern day she'd have gotten plastic surgery to fix what was odd about them.
