Here is just a few answers to some frequently asked questions around the site. More will be added over time should more questions be asked!
Is the Canon Audition mandatory?
Yes it is, it's just so we can get a feel for how you role play the character and if your portray their personality and what not accordingly. It also gives us a look at your role play style (grammar, spelling, etc) that way they meet the site's requirements.
What are the Audition Requirements?
A minimum of 500 words. You need at LEAST two lines of speech, whether it's through the character's thoughts or actual words being spoken. It must be written in third person and meet all the grammar/tense requirements of the site. (Third person, past tense, spelling.)
How long do we have to make an application once it's started?
The deadline is a week once you've posted a WIP, otherwise it'll be moved to denied applications due to it not being complete within the time given.
Can I take a character?
Yes you may. Upon joining the site, the first two characters are 'free' so to speak. You still have to do an audition if it's a canon, but after those two characters you have to talk to BOTH Admins (Taiya and Repa) before taking another character, even if it's an OC.
Can I edit my application after awhile?
Yep! If it's locked, just message a staff member to unlock it for you, but be sure to tell them once you're done so they can lock it again. After 50 posts you can add more abilities.
I WANNA BE A L'CIE!
Okay! Make an application, wait for it to be approved, then go claim your Eidolon off the eidolon list! Occasionally staff has put a cap on the amount of l'cie due to 'everyone doing it', that darn l'cie bandwagon!
What races can I make a character?
We like to keep the site strictly Final Fantasy. That means sticking with the Final Fantasy races, but that doesn't mean we want twenty creatures like Nanaki running around. If it's canon, then that's understandable, but please no werewolves, fairies, vampires etc. Stick to the games.
Why can't we make OC Turks, First class SOLDIER's or Class Zero members?
Because those are such small groups of elite people. We keep those canon. We don't mind if you made a ShinRa employee, like an infantry man or something, a second or third class SOLDIER, or a Suzaku student...but not a part of the elite groups that are strict on their numbers for canon reasons.
Do we have to post in the activity check if we just joined? Or if we're posting a lot?
Yes, it's a rule for EVERYONE and if someone doesn't post in the activity check, that simply tells us that you don't want to save your character(s), first time you miss it and are active may be a warning. If you miss it and aren't active, we'll open/drop those characters.
Role play sample?
If you're trying for a canon you can use your audition as your role play sample, or you can write 'check my audition!', if you're making an OC and have no prior rp experience on this site, you need to do the RP sample.
Summons?
Summons are generally directed at Summoners, L'Cie, and anyone who has the ability to summon an eidolon or guardian force.
Accessories and Items?
Like in the games you can equip your part members with accessories to boost their strengths and resistances, or they can be as simple as a scarf or cell phone. That's up to you.
Do we have to read the rules?
The answer is YES!
