Q: When are we allowed to post our character applications?
A: You are allowed to post your character from here on! On that note, the deadline has been set! Friday, the 1st of June 2018 is the last day to submit your CS for the first wave of survivors! You may apply up to 5 characters, but only one character will be accepted per role-player since we are just beginning the role-play. Eventually, multi-characters will be allowed. NPCs are unlimited but a basic CS is highly encouraged (Name, Appearance, & Description/Goal).

Q: What are the limitations in regards to character creations?
A: As a rule of thumb, no limitations... but realistically speaking there are limitations. For one, only humans are allowed. For two, no Mary-sues & Gary-sues.

Q: What is the age limit?
A: No age limit but if we notice we have more than two characters below 12 years of age or above 65 years of age, we will restrict the acceptation to make sure it doesn't become Kindergarten & Ol'Jeezers fighting death.

Q: Can my character be of any nationality, ethnicity, religion, etc.
A: You are allowed to be of any nationality, ethnicity or religious background, as long as you were (pre-apocalypse) within Germany's border. An exchange student, a permanent resident, refugee, etc. within Germany's border prior to restricted movements cross-country are allowed. On the other hand, if a German citizen outside of Germany's border wanted to go back to his/her country, it was a lot more difficult due to clearance. A good ratio to represent that is out of a 100 German citizens outside of the border, only 5 would manage to get back in, usually those that had money or VERY good reasons to be admitted in.

Q: If none of my characters are accepted during the selection, does it mean I am not allowed to join the role-play?
A: Unless your CS were a complete disaster, I see no reason for you to not join the role-play eventually. I italicized eventually because sometimes certain characters are very good but don't mesh with the rest. In that case, I like to keep that character in reserve for an amazing introduction ulteriorly. Of course, that decisions rests in the hand of the player.

Q: How many characters will be accepted at the beginning of the story?
A: To be determined on the content quality of what we receive. Although, it is to be expected that NO MORE than 8 role-players will be allowed (including both GMs).
 
Q: What is the limit for starting weapons?
A: Weapons were limited in Germany pre-apocalypse. You needed permits for hunting and handguns, etc. Also, during the border controls, citizens would be restricted to no guns within Berlin. Only law enforcement were allowed with guns.

Of course, that is not reasonable considering it's post apocalyptic. They more or less will need a gun eventually. That is why i did not put starting weapons in cs because depending on the situation we choose to start with, every character might or might not have weapons. Who knows, really. Your character could have hidden it, could have stollen it or maybe your charry always had because he isn't from Berlin and just so happened to wander in the city. I would much rather read your character struggle to find a gun than just be walking around with artillery.

That being said, at least for the beginning, there will be approximately a ratio of 1/3 characters with guns. Survivors may have improvised weapons... we are one year in so at least one weapon proficiency i’d say. It is okay if your character had a gun and lost it or whatever.
 
Q: Can I just put my MBTI score as personality?
A: Yes but your personality will have to shine/be justified through the backstory.

Good Evening! Good to see you are interesting Weltschmerz! Unfortunately, your CS doesn't cut it quite well due to multiple reasons:
1. The roleplay is in Germany, your character is in America.
2. Please read the rules on the main thread.
3. The Backstory/Personality is lacking a lot of details and explanations. For instance, radiation... what type of radiation, from where, and how was your character affected by it?
4. Personality: radiation shouldn't define your characters personality as a whole.
5. He is underweight yet manages to run very fast (with which energy?)
6. He fears the ocean to the point of death, yet chose to escape by boat to America with NO knowledge of how to work a boat... and you give no details of how long it took. He is passing the Pacific Ocean with a tiny boat, clearly not enough fuel on the boat and in what seems to be an undetermined time lapse.

Please re-work your cs for reconsideration. Also, for further help, pls join the discord or message in the OOC thread :)
 
Actually, I might have ti take my leave from this roleplay. I've been pretty busy lately, and already have way too many going on right now-
Sorry for leaving so suddenly. Hope you have fun with the idea!

It’s all good with me rimdim! Best of luck with your other roleplays :)
 
It's nice to know that I was kicked from the roleplay for discussions that occurred within PMs and had nothing to do with the roleplay. I don't have to be friends with the GM to be in the roleplay ^^ but apparently that is the case. So, I hope you lot enjoy yourselves, and I want nothing to do with you ever again, Dio or Maree. ^^ bye bye.

You got kicked out for blocking me and being unable to contact you and also for not replying for over three weeks. Also, you were completely rude to me by insulting me not once but many times.

And yes the issue was started in the ooc.

That being said, once again you enjoy creating drama ooc as you’ve clearly demonstrated and we were never friends so that claim that you have to be my friend is wrong. Nobody in the group was or is my friend. I welcome friendship but I won’t force it by being a people pleaser. You want everything your way and you are constantly arguing with people who dont abid to your needs. And let’s not forget that you are just completely rude half of the time.

I will kindly ask you to never reply back in this ooc as you’ve been kicked out of the roleplay due to innapropriate behaviours. Best of luck with your future roleplays.

Have a good afternoon.

Best,
Dio
