IMPORTANT!!!




We've had a complete rework of the Species Rules, so please read them carefully! We'll be checking closely with all new apps!



SPECIES RULES




♕ The overall general rule for Species is: No Half Breeds!


Your Character's parents may be of two different Species, but your Character will be either one or the other

Species. Their powers may be weaker, their looks may be a little less defined by their born Species, BUT

ultimately they are either one or the other - never both! They will also never have the powers

of both their parents. Please keep that in mind when creating your Character!


Any Species is welcome in any of the Factions as long as your Character has a Staff Job!


You may be a human, a humanized animal, an anthro, a mythical being, or anything else. Staff Jobs are

not restricted Species wise.


:new:No god-like species allowed!

No demigods, and nothing related to religion.

Also, please nothing 'afterlife' stuff, like if you were dead and woke up, you don't remember anything, IF there

was anything. We don't want people to fight over religious things or what kind of gods we allow and go by.


If your character returned from the dead for no explained reason (such as magic/their species/voodoo/somebody

else doing it), then please feel free to write whatever the character believes may be the reason - just make

sure that you make it clear that it is simply an opinion. One that can not be proven, but neither disproven.

We'd just like to prevent any unnecessary fights over religious views, thank you!



♕ For Performer Jobs we have a very clear distinction of what your Character must look like

during their performance. You may be of any Species, but for your Performance you may not show any

kind of animalistic feature unless you are a Red Faction performer! You have to hide them by either using

clothes, make up or magic. Red Faction Performers are free to let their freak hang out, but the Performers

of all other Factions must hide their animalistic features.


♕ Please keep in mind that your application Sheet must show your Working/Performance Look/Outfit

and may optionally show their free time or "real" look.


♕ Colors of your features don't matter.

They can be of any color. However, if you are for example a human and you have blue hair, we want

an explanation for that! If it's unnatural for your Species or weird, please add an explanation as to why.


Features that are ok for non Red Faction:
+ Pointy Ears
+ Odd looking Eyes
+ Glass or Rock like features
+ Small horns, Demon horns

Features that you must hide if not Red Faction:
+ Animal Ears (such as: Cat Ears, Dog Ears, Bunny Ears, Fish Finns, Scaled Ears)
+ Animal Hands or Feet
+ Tails of any kind
+ Wings of any kind
+ Fur, Scales
+ Antlers, Big horns, Typical Animal horns


Any other kind of features such as for example grotesque deformations or disfigurations - such as for example caused by Proteus Syndrome - but basically anything that makes you look obviously inhuman - should be used only for Diamond Faction Freaks, please!



SPECIES EXAMPLE LIST




To help you guys pick a Species for your Character, we've prepared a list with possibilities

Ok so I had a character idea for a girl who is part deer but still has human characteristics - human in most aspects but with the horns and tail of a deer, and on her back is a patch of fur that imitates the back of a fawn, spots and all. However, I wanted her to be a dancer. I'm unsure whether she'd be placed into the White Factions or the Red Faction. Which is more appropriate?
