Mod Post.
This is a general reminder/information post. Once you have read it, we would appreciate it if you could comment to let us know that you have read and understood everything involved. If you would like clarification on any of the points then feel free to either ask in comments or to IM us on AIM at uneasy lies or kerfluffling. Thank you.
1) Can you please put your characters FULL NAME in their user info. This is simply so that people know exactly who they're interacting
with. If you also want to add what fandom they're from, or any other information then feel free to do so.
2) Please use the tags provided. They are up to date as of two weeks ago, if your character does not have a tag then please let us know and we'll add them ASAP.
3) As a reminder; although Prideview is a pan fandom game, it is NOT a crack game. Please keep your characters IN CHARACTER. Do not turn a character that is snarky into a whiney cry baby, or a character who is badass into a coward, or even a character who is a coward into a hero. These are only examples, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE keep your characters as close to in character as possible with a pan-fandom
game. Thank you.
4) Please wait until a movie has been out for at least ONE week before applying for a character. This is to give as many people as possible a chance to see it, as going out to the cinema is slightly different to plonking your arse down in front of the TV in your living room. If you must desperately play a character from a new movie then please place a hold on them. The holds post is there for a reason. Use it.
5) Apartments: When you apply for a character you get given the link to the apartment's page. Please go straight there and comment with your characters FULL name, apartment number and apartment size.
6) On the subject of canon puncturing. If your character googles, for example, Dr. Rodney McKay, they will find out that he's a brilliant scientist who went off the radar for three years and who is now teaching at Columbia University. You will NOT find out anything to do with Atlantis. However, if you switch on the Sci-Fi channel at the right time you can watch the show.
This applies all across the board. So it is possible that your character might get fangirled/boyed at some point. It is polite, but not necessary, to warn a player before hand.
7) When aging a character up or down, please keep their canon in mind. Someone who was tortured as a child, or who just had a plain fucked up childhood, is not going to be all puppies, rainbows and flowers. Just how someone who is supersweet and loves Jesus and kittens when they're older, isn't going to be plotting murder and world domination when they are twenty. Aging a character up or down is not an excuse to play an original character, they are still the character they were IN CANON, just at a different age.
8) If you wish to play a non-human character, such as objects from fairy tales or that chipmunk from Enchanted or Scooby Doo, turned human, you must give an explanation of how they became human. 'It was Wednesday and I was bored' is not an explanation. There are at least six people in the apartments who could make a non-human character human. Two could do it without conscious thought. Tim made a dragon, he could easily make a magic mirror human. So really, as long as it's believable, we'll probably allow it.
Thank you, and please remember to comment to say that you’ve read and understood it.
