Character Application

Character Creation Rules:

-Your character is not all powerful. Please include both strengths and weaknesses in him/her.

-Your character should keep to the Narnia universe. They should not have superpowers, starships, a secret alien identity, etc. The technology of Narnia is medieval, with chainmail, swords, arrows and magic. There are no cannons, crossbows, guns, planes or cars.

-Under no circumstances can an original character cross the threshold into the Narnian universe from Earth. This is a precautionary measure to ensure that this doesn't become a cross-over RPG, and that we keep with Lewis' vision of Narnia, where characters only crossed into Narnia from Earth for a specific, significant purpose.

-We are a literate RPG. We expect well written posts, and that carries over to your application. Please make sure you write as best you can, even if English isn't your native language. The spellchecker on a word processor program like Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Write is very helpful. If you can't access those, there are a number of online spellcheckers and document editors. Try Google Documents, or search for "online spellchecker."

-A special note for canon characters: Although we will allow some spelling and grammatical mishaps for original characters, we expect those applying for canon characters to have a good grasp of English and be able to write well. As a canon character, your writing is going to be the most scrutinized and sought after, so we need to make sure that it is top notch. If you are unsure of your capabilities, try playing an original character first.

-When in doubt, post your application as it is. If you need help, simply pm an administrator or post in your application thread, and we'd be glad to offer. Bear in mind that we won't write anything for you, but we'll give you suggestions.

Please copy the code at the bottom of this post and make a new topic here. Please title it with your character's name for identifying purposes.
