Application Post
A few things first.
Original characters are welcome. But if a character already has 'children' be sure to clear another kid with the player of that character.
Alternate Universe and Time displaced kids are welcome. As are totally original characters. Not every JLAer, JSAer, or Titan is going to have parents that were in any of the previous teams. So feel free to use your imagination!
We also welcome Canon kids. IE Chris Kent, Lian, Cerdian, Ramsey Spencer, Sin, the West Twins and older versions of any super kid. Also adult versions of any Canon Teenagers are welcome. (Ie: Miss Martian, Jaime Reyes, Kara Zor-El, Zachary Zatara, Traci Thirteen, Klarion...) As are canon characters and villains in their adult incarnations.
We're taking advantage of the wonderful sliding timeline policy of DC, so if your character's birth date/age doesn't quite work out, it can easily be modified.
Please give us at least 24 hours to look at your application. Once it's accepted, you can jump right in. If we have any problems or questions with any applications we'll contact you for clarification.
In some situations a sample with another player may be required. If the character you want for your parent has a player, contact that player for permission first. Don't worry, we won't bite.
If you can't contact that player, feel free to contact the mods and we'll answer any questions you have!
The game focuses on the next generation of heroes and the kids are the ones out being the superheroes. The adults for the most part are starting to retire and passing the torch to the kids, so if you are looking to play an adult, be advised that in this game they are mostly support roles and plot devices.
Some basic rules:1. If you are apping a sibling/parent of a character in the game, the player(s) of those characters get approval/veto rights on the app.
We require you to discuss the character idea with the other players before apping the character you want to play. If you don't know who is playing a certain character please ask a mod. The list of characters and their relatives is here
2. If you are apping a cousin or other distant relative to a character/characters already in game, the player(s) of the character gets to review the app and provide feedback.
If you can't contact a player, feel free to contact the mods and we'll answer any questions you have!
3. Please do not give names, gender or ages to siblings of canon-pairing characters. This is to allow greater flexibility for people interested in picking up a sibling or parent. A vague reference like "Character X has three other siblings." is fine.
It is okay to give names, gender and ages to siblings of characters who have non-canon parents.
4.
Apping Characters just to "hook up with someone" - Please do it somewhere else. This is a game for people who are interested in more than just hooking their character up with another character. While it is natural for characters to start dating and otherwise participate in physical relationships, it should not be the main purpose of the character and it is not the main focus of the game.
We accept applications for heroes, villains, parents and other adults.
