Quick Tips When Making A Character
Below are just some quick tips to help you along when making a character and to allow you a speedy approval! This is inclusive of what we are not currently accepting! !
- Focus On 1 Skillset: Your character cannot excel in everything! You must select one particular field for your character (i.e. for Arkers: engineering, farming, guard training, etc, for Grounders: warrior, healer, villagers would have their own set of skills, etc) Click HERE to see a list of Occupation and Roles.
- Delinquent Age: Keep in mind that if you are playing a delinquent, they would not have been professionals or workers in their desired field! They were under 18 and also spent time in the Sky Box. They may have had an interest and taken a few courses, but they would not have been full time workers in their field of interest. Their training would have been limited. Apprenticeships are rare.
- Fighting Abilities: Delinquents who were part of the militia or showed some promise, would have had very basic training on the ground. Their fighting skills would be limited. On the Ark, the only individuals who would have had combat training are cadets and people in the guard. Some canons are exception to this i.e. Wells.
- Canon Mirroring: When making an OC, please do not mirror a canon. Create unique personality traits and a unique history for them. Taking different elements that are distinct of certain canons and combining them into one character is also prohibited. We strive to protect canon originality.
- Children On The Ark: Any expecting mother must have a permit for the birth of their child. This requires the name of the mother and father. Any child who does not have one is considered an illegal child. This is extremely rare to non existance for first borns.
Second children are illegal, no exceptions made. If a woman is pregnant with a second child, she must terminate it. If it is discovered that a woman is hiding a second pregnancy or child, she is punishable by death and the child will be sent to the Sky Box. Most do not get pass the one year mark, apart from the Blakes. For more information about illegal pregnencies, click HERE!Currently Not Accepting:
