Applying for Ludus
❧ To apply for a character, please submit a filled out application form to either the Students' gallery or the Miscellaneous Citizens' gallery. The mods will note you back if your application has been accepted, rejected or needs revisions.
❧ Please make sure that the written part of your application contains at least 500 words from Name to RP sample.
❧ All writers (those who cannot draw) wishing to join Ludus are encouraged to read the Art Request page. Therein lies instructions on how to apply to the RP group as a writer and how to get in contact with artists who could draw their character art for them.
Character Creation
❧ The sky is the limit but don't grab for the heavens. Anything you think of that can fit into the verse, put it right in. We only ask that the characters are not too powerful to the point of it being annoying. Everyone and everything has flaws, remember that. Balance is your friend. Use your own discretion in creating them and make the most out of the universe presented.
❧ Transferring/moving a character from another game/rp/oct/group is A-OKAY. We simply request that you do not have that character running in multiple games at the same time. Also, please submit to us OUR APPLICATION and not THEIR APPLICATION. You can also choose to retain the memories of your character from that group.
❧ The characters can come from any dimension possible which means that they can be taken from any time and any setting. They could be half jelly-fish or some weird made up species. Or say, from the 1920s. Or heck, apply as a caveman. Have fun and get creative!
❧ Your character's ages are entirely up to you. Ludus believes that anyone can learn at any time.
❧ Your character doesn't necessarily have to be human. We accept even animals, provided they're capable of at least thinking/feeling.
Limitations
❧ The following powers have special restrictions due to godmode and metagame. If one or more of these are your powers of choice, please consult a mod before doing so. They will suggest character creation flaws or limitations through subtle GM control.
Power bestowal, power negation, temporal duplication, invulnerability, immortality, pheromone manipulation, reactive adaptation, innate capability, omniscience, precognition, psychometry, telepathy, memory manipulation, mind control, possession, probability manipulation, reality warping, time manipulation, omnipresence, death touch.
❧ Older students (those who have been in Ludus longer and not physical age) cannot be made without first having a character that's a first year. Even then, the Roleplayer/Mun will have to wait around a month before being able to apply for an "old" character. This is done because the older students should know the ins and outs of Ludus, they know how people are and how the system works. We want the Roleplayer/Mun to be familiar with everything first so that his/her character is believable.
❧ No characters from a fandom-specific universe (IE, don't submit Konoha Ninjas, Gallifreyan time-lords, No Pokemon Trainers, Republic Jedi's and I'm pretty sure you can't be the second to the last Airbender).
Why was my app rejected?
❧ Your app obviously took two-seconds to work on it.
❧ You've forgotten to fill something. To be continued-'s aren't allowed, sure you can ADD and MODIFY to the application later on; but don't submit to us a half-filled app.
How does my character arrive in Ludus?
You have a lot of freedom in this! It's entirely up to you! If you don't want to think of how your character got here, feel free to choose one of the scenarios below.
❧ Your character can fall into a gap between dimensions and just randomly arrive in Ludus with only the few possessions s/he has on hand. Think of a portal opening in the sky and then randomly dropping your character anywhere.
❧ Your character's dimension can be fully aware of dimensional travel and could have heard that Ludus was a magic school. In that event, your character would have received a typical school application form. He would have then been transported by one of the staff members.
❧ Your character gets a random acceptance letter even if s/he did not apply. Acceptance letters have some information regarding dimensional travel and how to get Ludus from your dimension.
❧ Your character doesn't remember how they got to Ludus. Insert Panic.
