singing_arda | Claim requests

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.

I'll be completely honest - you're going into far too much detail and it's hard for me to pinpoint the information I need. I don't need a summary of the entire canon.

Please try reply in yes/no's, or bullet points of a few sentences each.

Because his abilities still seem to be very ill defined, he’s going to have to be very limited in what he can do. You must stick to abilities that he has either A) displayed in canon B) it can be inferred that he has the ability from canon information.

You are going to need to specifically list each type of curse he can do on your info post based upon what we talk about here. Stick to YOUR character, not others in the series.

I am going to try to pick out the relevant info, please confirm the limitations that you are okay with.

Re: Flight – yes you are okay with the limitation.

Re: Collecting Souls – yes you are okay with the limitation

Re: Altering individual time – yes you are okay with this limitation

Re: Magic : It is unclear how much of this applies to your character, since you keep mentioning what OTHER characters have done.

- Levitation OK.

- Weight and density okay within reason, don’t affect the landscape in a large way.

- IF (this was unclear) you are saying he can shrink himself / make larger, this is okay, as long as it’s within the range of our size guidelines

- IF you are saying he can make people unlucky – this is nerfed.

- IF you are saying he can split himself (assuming you mean making a copy of himself) this is allowed for one copy.

- “Big spells” are nerfed.

Re: Hacking – yes you are okay with this limitation

Re: Familiar – nerfed, too badly defined in canon, from what you have written. It can remain in his soul or whatever, but he cannot summon it/use it.

Re: Curses – I agree on the condition that curses are discussed OOCly, so that the affects of the curse, the break condition, and the aftereffects of the curse breaking are discussed on a case by case basis. You MUST discuss the break condition with the other player(s) so that they are both know what it is ahead of time, and are comfortable with it. Any curses must stick within our power guidelines that are game-wide, and those we have given to you as a specific limitation.

Re: Form Change – Once you have an IC reason, AND are close to possibly making it happen, then contact us to discuss if it can be done within AM’s guidelines.

Any attempt that is made to use magic here that we’ve nerfed will result in backlash from the music.

Since I cannot figure out how better to pin point his abilities, I will apologize for wasting your time, and thank you for offering it. It may well be that he is not a good fit for this game. I will try to find someone who is. Thank you very much for your consideration.
