Claim requests
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.

CRAU | Alice Liddell | American McGee's Alice | Not Held
Player who referred you: Arduna
Full Canon Title: American McGee's ALic
Character Name: Alice Liddell
Info post: Here
Previous game(s):
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 (and other versions currently in game:) A great shift in Alice's personality is her ability to learn to trust and love again. Alice came in very skittish, very leery of others, and has started to open up again. She's not nearly as self-destructive as she was and has proven herself to be more caring than she lets on. She's also gained a lot of peace over the death of her family and her psychosis isn't as severe. Alice also likes to stay pretty close to Maglor and largely considers him a father figure.
Revisions / Questions
First, a quickie - on your info post you don't have her canon listed.
Also, your Content-Opt out post is not in our format. This is meant to be a place where players can opt-out of what your character's background might bring up that could be triggering, and not meant to be what your preferences are. This here is a good example. You are of course welcome to have that sort of post listed elsewhere, such as "anything else" at the bottom.
Abilities section - A part of this section repeats itself, particularly regarding her normal fighting ability. It would be helpful if you made it more list like as well, to clearly display individual abilities.
Lastly a question - since I'm not familiar with the previous game she is from - When Alice originally arrived as Asgard Eventide was she a canon version?

Alice's abilities are a little tricky to explain, I won't lie, and Alice actually has a lot more, but I usually just leave to these ones:
- Knife fighting is her signature ability. I should mention she's gotten much better having been trained by Maglor. But the emphasis I wanted was she learned on her own and I wanted to emphasize initially Alice was pretty sloppy, which is expected from someone who's self-taught. Nonetheless, I should have clarified that, but a more versed with this. A good example of her regular combat would be something along the lines like this. Alice usually fights with the vorpal blade, she uses the second knife as a back up.
- Melee combat is one that she knows, but she's shaky with it, blocking and dodging attacks, but also using the hobby horse in regular combat. I only mention this, because I genuinely wouldn't know how to describe her using the knightmare hobby horse, other than describing it as regular melee combat.
- Butterfly dodge is her other ability to allow her to phase in and out in a swarm of butterflies. This allows her to actually jump shorter distances. In game, you can use this pretty often, but I imagine that this is actually tiring for Alice, so using it so much tires her out, so it can be nerfed, too. This is a better visual of her ability to dodge opponents in fights.
And yes! Alice was originally a canon version, fresh out of the second game (Madness Returns) in Asgard Eventide, so I apologize for not clarifying that.

Very cool, abilities look good now!
It's totally fine, I was just wanted to double check because you seemed unsure about whether or not she could take the canon spot. CRAUs that were originally canon generally take the canon spot unless there is a huge difference, usually a physical one, so she'd probably be taken the canon spot. Either way she can come in.
Okay fix up that link for me and we should be good!
