Rules for Registering a Created Character:
We understand that many players have creative minds, and need outlets. Or maybe you've had an idea for a character that you think would go great with the room. Or perhaps you just don't like any of the DC characters but you still want to roleplay in DC Dystopia. This is where a created character comes in. However, there are a few stipulations for creating an original character. We will try to keep them basic as we understand that a lot of limitations hinder the creative mind.
1. No new character in DC Dystopia will be allowed a power ranking above Amazing, for a period of six weeks. This will allow Council to watch your roleplay and determine, in accordance with your roleplaying ability, whether or not any ranking above Amazing would be beneficial to your character, and the room. After the waiting period, if your character is granted a power rank augmentation, it will increase to the next power level (e.g. from Amazing to Monstrous).
2. Even though we do allow players to have rankings of Amazing, please keep in mind that Amazing is already a high and powerful rank. Generally speaking, each character will have one or possibly two powers or stats that have been developed enough to achieve this rank. Your character sheet will not be approved with a multitude of Amazing ranks. For created characters, we are aiming to make them as believable as possible within the DC canon.
For example, if your character is a young girl with virtually no sort of training, then it is unfeasible for Strength to be ranked at Amazing (lift 50 tons), unless of course, superstrength happens to be her mutant power.
We do have a character sheet template, as well as a variety of benchmarks and explanations posted on the Character Sheet Template thread. Please utilize this resource.
3. Any power ranks at Unearthly or above shall be subject to Council approval, even after the initial trial period and regardless of whether you are a veteran player or a new player in DC Dystopia.
4. If your character has a history that is integrated with existing DCMarvel characters (such as sister, brother, child from alternate timeline), it is advised that you ask the person playing that character, if it is in play at this time.
5. If you would like your character to be a part of one of the teams in the room (Green Lantern Corps, Justice League, etc.), you must ask the permission of a Council member first, as well as the permission of that team’s leader.
As your Council, we will endeavor to meet your character needs to the best of our abilities. However, please keep in mind that we are only human and do make mistakes as well. We are more than willing to work with you, but we ask that you be will to meet us halfway. Generally, if there are no problems or concerns regarding a character, all submissions and questions will be reviewed and answered within 24 hours. Most of the time, it is faster than that, however RT (real time) afflicts Council members as well. If, at any time, you have a problem with a Council member, it is your right to have it solved. Please contact another council member and present your problem, and we will do our best to settle the problem in a peaceful manner.
Upgrading a Created Character:
After your character has been active in C Dystopia for over six weeks, you may apply to have your character's stats and ranks upgraded. Post, as a REPLY to your original submission, the proposed changes you are interesting in making. Then, the Council will determine whether or not these changes are beneficiary for your character. Please do not edit your character sheet once it has been approved. If you edit yor character without Council's approval, your character could be withdrawn from the roleplay.
