Asylum Information

Below is information about the "New World Order: A Marvel Heroes Roleplay" asylum on InsaneJournal. To join this asylum, click here. You may leave the asylum at any time.

At the beginning of June, Charles Xavier received a message from an old friend. Two weeks later, he and several of his students suffered from an identical nightmare. Something is stirring, sending ripples through the world. Xavier does what he can, reaching out to Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. to warn them of the coming danger.

But even as the heroes gather their forces, the enemies that oppose them gather theirs, driven by something that they themselves do not understand...

• First, check the Taken Characters list. If the character you want is already in play, or if you're looking for ideas about who to play, you could also take a look at the Requested Characters list.
  
  
• If the character you're interested in isn't taken yet, grab a copy of the application, fill it out, and email it to the mods! (newworldorder_rp@yahoo.com)
  
  
• Characters that cannot be submitted are: Nick Fury, Charles Xavier, Stephen Strange (mod NPCs), and all villains. If you wish to play a character who was formerly a villain, but reformed and now fights with the heroes, that's fine, but be aware that applications of that nature are more sternly scrutinized than the others, so make sure you've got a good story planned out. Also, if a former villain turns back to the side of evil, they automatically revert back to mod-controlled NPCs.
  
  
• Depending on how many applications have come in, and how much free time we have, we should get back to you within a day or two about whether your application was approved. PLEASE don't assume that because you already have a character/characters in play, your application will be approved.
  
  
• Each player has a limit of four characters. You may apply for these whenever you like, but we suggest you make yourself comfortable in the game before applying all four.
  
  
• Game Canon, as far as background goes, is very, very simple. The game will be starting with the de-frosting of Captain America, but that doesn't mean every character has to start at that point. You can choose to start your characters off at any point in their background. Just remember that some retcon changes may need to be made as other characters join the game! Take a look here for a weekly round-up of the game's events!
  

• Once your application has been approved, make a journal for your character. For the sake of our collective sanity, the journal name should be "nwo_yourcharacter'scodename". If your character doesn't have a codename, use their last name.
  
  
• Copy the Character Profile and post it to the user info.
  
  
• Upload your icons and post an intro in newworldorder.
  
  
• Friend everyone, join the game communities (nwo_xmen & nwo_shield), and start playing!
  

• Every character in the game will have their own private journal. These are to be used for private journal entries only. It is assumed that the other characters cannot see anything that is posted to the private journals.
  
  
• There are three communities involved with the game. The main community (newworldorder) is for OOC discussion, mod posts, peripheral fannish things (mixes, art, icons, etc.), and announcements of upcoming events. The other communities are for roleplaying (both stand-alone and tags) and for characters to contact one another. Anyone affiliated with the X-Men should post RPs to nwo_xmen. Anyone affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D. should post RPs to nwo_shield.
  
  
• Roleplaying comes in two forms in this game. Players can either tag back and forth over AIM, edit the logs, and post them to the community, or they can post an intro in the community and tag it out in the comments. ALL roleplaying should be done in third person past tense, and all logs should be edited for spelling and grammar.
  
  
• Check out this post for more details.
  
  
• Preferably, we would like to see a post from every character at least once a week. If you need to go on hiatus for any more than two days, please let us know.
  
  
• If a character doesn't post over a period of two weeks, you will receive an email to warn you that, within three days of receiving the email without response or good reason, the character will be forfeit. If you have other characters in play, they will remain yours, but any character laying dormant will be offered to new players.
  
  
• The game is very open to both Het and Slash relationships.
