Claim requests

[singing_arda]

Claims are currently open

Arda Marred does not require an application, but rather a character claim that still needs to be approved by the mods. This is a bit like the little sibling of an application: It is shorter and more aimed towards making it easier for other players to get the gist of your character. The audience of your info post is primarily other players. We do reserve the right to decline claims or request revisions before the claim is approved. To place a claim, the following is needed:

✦ The character may be neither held for someone else nor already claimed.
✦ They must have an info post on their journal that uses the info post form and seems acceptable to the mods.
✦ Be one of the allowed character types as listed on the FAQs.

Format

✦ In the subject line, please write: Character Type | Character Name | Canon | Held/Not Held
✦ Please use one comment for each character.
✦ If this is a re-claim of a dropped or idled character, please also write "re-claim" in the subject line.
✦ If you run out of subject line space, just continue the rest of the info underneath the in reply.

✦ To request a character with an animal companion co-claim please add a note in your reply, and whether or not that companion is essential or non-essential.

Please note the following:

While you are allowed to place a claim at any time, claims are only processed from the 8th to the 15th of any given month. Please try not to post on the very last day, because claims can take several days to process.

We have a hard max of three AUs of the same character. That means that there should be one canon spot always available, and three AU spots. These AUs must also be different from each other. We will be using time stamps to determine processing order during claims.

Due to the nature of highly varied character types, some claims may take longer than others because more than one mod has to look at them for whatever reason. If you are "skipped" please understand that you are not forgotten, we simply need to take more time with your claim.

Due to the nature of allowing so many different character types and duplicates, many times "judgement calls" have to be made in terms of what characters are allowed, not allowed, or need to be AU. Some situations are going to be tricky! Power adjustment, questions, and revision requests won't be uncommon. But never fear! We're here to help you get in, rather than keep you out.

CR-AUs

CRAU | Legolas | Tolkien | Held

[brokenleaf]

Name: Tracy
Player who referred you: Ardruna
Full Canon Title: Tolkien Legendarium
Character Name: Legolas
Info post: Here

Previous game(s): Tower of Animus
Is this character a duplicate?: No
Can this character potentially fill the "canon spot?": No
Briefly explain how this character differs from their canon counterpart: Legolas has endured over a year of repeated physical and mental abuse, resulting in a drastic drop in self-confidence but a much more vicious method of combat and is generally not as trusting. He sleeps more than normal elves since not sleeping would result in death in the tower so it's ingrained in him. He's also sporting several scars from his time in the tower as well as a much shorter hairstyle so people couldn't grab at him.
