- Lenient or otherwise freeform adoptables are denoted with a green tag.
- These characters may only have one or two onboard relatives, have vague history notes, or are largely (sometimes completely) left to the whims of their adopter. Generally, these characters are for those who may want onboard relations but would like a lot of freedom.
Contract
- Activity: Character may fall anywhere in your roster, though 'Souls activity guidelines do apply.
- Personality: Lenient characters tend to be largely up to the player who adopts them, but discretion, thoughtfulness and good taste are expected.
- Pre-Adoption Changes: Usually acceptable, so long as you adhere to 'Souls rules regarding retconning.
- Post-Adoption Changes: Reasonable development and changes are acceptable. I will not reclaim a character if a radical change or a change in poor taste occurs.
- Puppies and Breeding Rights: This character has no stipulations on puppies/breeding rights.
- Join Date: Once approved, the adopter must join with the adoptable within three (3) months. After three (3) months, you will have to reapply for the character.
- Adoption: The adoption process for lenient characters requires one (1) writing sample and a short summary of intention for the character. No character sample is needed.

- Moderate adoptables are denoted with a yellow tag.
- These characters always come with some stipulations attached, have been referenced multiple times ICly as looking or behaving in a particular way, or have things about them that otherwise cannot or should not be changed, whether it relates to their appearance or personality.
Contract
- Activity: It's suggested that this character be at least a secondary, but tertiary and quaternary are also acceptable.
- Personality: The adopter needs to display a moderate grasp of the character's personality. Attention to detail isn't as important as hitting all the right big character notes.
- Pre-Adoption Changes: Considered on a case-by-case basis. A moderate character will always have some gaps for the adopter to fill, and I am always open to this. For larger important changes, I would prefer that the adopter discusses it with me first.
- Post-Adoption Changes: Reasonable development and changes are acceptable. I will not reclaim a character if a radical change or a change in poor taste occurs.
- Puppies and Breeding Rights: This character may have stipulations on puppies/breeding rights.
- Join Date: Once approved, the adopter must join with the adoptable within two (2) months. After three (2) months, you will have to reapply for the character.
- Adoption: The adoption process for moderate characters requires two (2) writing samples and a character sample.

- Strict adoptables are denoted with a red tag.
- Rarely, I may offer an adoptable that has an extensive, played family or who comes with a big plot attached, and for these characters I'll be looking for a reliable, quality writer. Generally, I won't give one of these characters to someone who hasn't yet established themselves on 'Souls.
Contract
- Activity: Must be a primary or secondary character.
- Personality: The adopter must display a firm grasp of the character's personality. I am looking for a sensitivity to the character's motivations, thoughts, feelings in addition to the finer details of the character.
- Pre-Adoption Changes: Generally, no, as there is often very little wiggle room with a strict character's past and personality.
- Post-Adoption Changes: The adopter will need to have very good justification for radical changes, otherwise they may be required to forfeit their character. Reasonable changes and developments are fine!
- Puppies and Breeding Rights: This character may have stipulations on puppies/breeding rights in a separate contract.
- Join Date: Once approved, the adopter must join with the adoptable within one (1) month. After one (1) month, you will have to reapply for the character.
- Adoption: The adoption process for Strict characters requires three (3) writing samples and a character sample.
