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.

Powers!
First: our standard set of Ainur restrictions for all Ainur:
Ainur are obviously crazy powerful beings, so we have to scale back a little bit. All Ainur have the following limits:
For using powers, there is an area limit of 10 square miles maximum for power distance. Powers displayed at this distance should be mild; a storm, a fog, a protection ring, temperature change, etc.
Ainur cannot alter geography (however special occasions can be arranged!)
Ainur cannot create new beings/objects/materials, however they can work with what already exists (Vairë specific example, she cannot create an entirely new substance for fabric, but she can work with cotton, silk, etc. )
Basically, you cannot directly affect the song. If you start to mess too much with the music, it might even be painful. (The music is very not happy right now.)
. . .
Limits specific to your character and your abilities listed. (numbers correspond to yours)
1 - Yes please, keep the body. If there's a serious injury that would normally mean death for someone else, discuss the incident with us and we'll work something out.
2. Again, she cannot create new materials, and she cannot directly affect the song. HOWEVER for Vairë specifically we'd allow anything related to "weaving" within reason. You can get creative with this - for example need to heal a wound? Weave the skin back together. Need to fix a roof? Weave the thatching back together, etc. Use a weaving/unraveling metaphor, and it's probably fair game.
3 - Unfortunately the song is so discordant and weird right now that she can't hear what's going on anymore. As for the past Vairë can only remember events in Arda, and only the Arda that she knew. (Not an AU version)
5 - Since she cannot directly affect the song, these items are pretty much moot.
4, 6 & 7 are A-okay!
Please edit your permissions post to reflect these changes.
Everything sound cool?
Re: Powers!
Yus! I will go and change things
EDIT: here can one of you take a quick peek and see if this looks okay?
Approved!
Your character is considered a canon character and will take a canon spot
Your character tag will be tolkien: the silmarillion: vairë
