I'm a pretty relaxed adopter! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I am interested in active roleplayers who are thoughtful and will be invested in their character.

  • Contract: Lenient

Contract

Strict

  • Activity: Character must be played as a primary or secondary character. Activity is crucial to establishing a character. I would like to see dedication to their development.
  • Character Relationships: This character has a number of on-board connections and will be involved heavily in plots.
  • Personality: The adopter needs to 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: Considered on a case-by-case basis. Generally, there is 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 - I love to see that! I just don't want my Happy-Go-Lucky Goofball to become a Dark Ultra-Murderer overnight.
  • Join Date: Once approved, the adopter must join with the adoptable between 1-2 weeks. After 2 weeks, you will have to reapply for the character. Please notify me if you are unable to meet this expectation.
  • Adoption: The adoption process for Strict characters requires 3 roleplay samples and a character sample.

Moderate

  • Activity: Character must be played as a primary or secondary character. This is open to be negotiated/reconsidered, but I will not adopt a Moderate character past quaternary.
  • Character Relationships: This character has a couple on-board connections and will be involved in plots. There is more freedom for a Moderate character to establish themselves in other plots.
  • 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 have some gaps for the adopter to fill, and I am always open to this, as long as the adopter runs them by me first.
  • Post-Adoption Changes: Reasonable changes are acceptable.
  • Join Date: Once approved, the adopter must join with the adoptable within 1 month. After 1 month, you will have to reapply for the character. Please notify me if you are unable to meet this expectation.
  • Adoption: The adoption process for Moderate characters requires 2 roleplay samples and a character sample.

Lenient

  • Activity: There is not a character-count for a Lenient character. General 'Souls activity rules apply here.
  • Character Relationships: This character has either no on-board connections or a handful of vague on-board connections. They generally do not come with plot attachments, but they may have the opportunity for plots.
  • Personality: The Lenient character is usually a blank canvas/skeleton personality-wise. There is a lot of freedom to change and develop their character. The adopter mainly needs to show discretion, thoughtfulness and good taste.
  • Pre-Adoption Changes: Usually acceptable and free-form, just keep me in the loop.
  • 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.
  • Join Date: Once approved, the adopter must join with the adoptable within 1-3 months. After 3 months, you will have to reapply for the character.
  • Adoption: The adoption process for Lenient characters requires 1 roleplay sample and a short summary of intention for the character. No character sample is needed.

Re-Adoption

I will reclaim a character under certain circumstances. These are outlined below:

  • Activity: If you have been removed in an activity sweep and have not answered contact after 2 weeks. Please refer to contract types for expectations of activity - Strict adoptables will be reclaimed far more quickly than Lenient adoptables.
  • Infractions: If you have been permanently banned from 'Souls or have made a number of serious IC or OOC infractions.
  • Contract Breach: If you have broken a specific term of the adoption contract.
  • Joining: Failure to join with adoptable within stipulated deadlines. If you give me notice that you can't join within the deadlines, I'll usually make an exception.

Adoption Terms

I prefer adopters who are thoughtful, sensible and active. I may sometimes prefer players who are already on 'Souls over outside players due to proven reliability. However, if you have a strong writing application, I would rather risk activity for the right writer.

I may not adopt to players who:

  • Have previously adopted from me, only to drop the character after a short period of time.
  • Have a high number of characters.
  • Constantly pick up, drop, and switch characters.
  • Fail to meet the contract expectations.
  • Show severe streaks of inactivity, constant absenteeism, etc.
  • Fundamentally misunderstand/misuse/radically alter the character.

I consider it respectful to keep in touch with me concerning your activity or absence. If you don't feel like you can reasonably manage the character, please just notify me! Real life always comes first, and I understand that, I honestly do! Just send me a quick note like - "Hey San! Life is kicking my butt! I can't hold on to BigBootylicious anymore, sorry!" and that will totally be ok. Silence just breaks my heart.

I know this might seem like a lot to take in, but please don't be intimidated! Talking to me is like half the battle, haha 8)

Pre-Adoption Changes

Some characters come with more back story. If you have any ideas or a trajectory for a character's development, I'm all ears. I would rather that you be inspired by a character than worry about meeting my initial expectations. I am definitely more amenable to Pre-Adoption changes with Moderate and Lenient characters than with Strict characters.

Post-Adoption Changes

I expect all types of characters to change over time at 'Souls. That's the whole point, after all! I love seeing growth and development. I only ask that the growth and development come from something and not unnaturally. People do sometimes change overnight, but if it seems unreasonable or questionable, I will likely contact you.

Forms

Adoption Form

  • OOC Name: Your Out-Of-Character Name
  • Character: The Character you would like to Adopt
  • Summary of Intent: Why do you want the character and what do you plan to do with them on 'Souls? SHORT ANSWER IS FINE!
  • Character Analysis: Your interpretation of the character and, if you have one, a basic trajectory for them. Strict characters may need more consideration than Moderate or Lenient characters. This does not need to be long - concision is preferable!
  • Roleplay Sample: Depending on the type (Lenient, Moderate, Strict), please submit a roleplay sample. Refer to the Contract expectations to see how many to submit. These can be samples from any roleplay, or a piece of creative fiction that you've written. This is primarily to get a sense of how you write. Generally, a range of samples is nice - one of your "average" posts to one of your "best" posts. Word count is not part of the consideration, so don't worry about having long or short posts.
NOTE If you are currently active on 'Souls, then linking to posts you've done on-site is totally acceptable.
  • Character Sample: Depending on the type (Lenient, Moderate, Strict), please submit a sample that you've written as the character you intend to adopt. This does not have to be long, but it does need to give me a sense of how you will write them.
NOTE Some players do better when given a prompt. I am happy to provide a prompt if that's the case! When you submit the form, just write "REQUEST PROMPT" in this section and I will respond with the prompt.
  • Agreement: Do you agree to the terms of the character and contract?

Please send this form either to Semini's Account as a Private Message or by email (theloreath@gmail.com).

Adopter Rights

  • Art: All art of the adoptable (including those you have commissioned) is returned with the character, should the character be reclaimed.
  • Titles and Icons: Any titles and icons earned via game points, contests, etc. are considered your property; however, you must request removal/transfer in a timely manner after dropping the adoptable or they become property of the new player. Any titles and icons purchased via the 'Souls store are considered your property and may be removed/transferred to your own character at any time.
  • Character: If you actively play the character for one year or more, but then drop the character/go inactive, then you will have earned the right to play the character again when you return and if no one else has adopted them.
  • Wiki: Anything that you contribute to the character on their wikipedia page is forfeit if the character is reclaimed. If I choose to keep your contributions, I will provide credit to you.

Questions

If you have any questions about the character before adopting them, please do not hesitate to get in touch! I'm happy to give you a brief summary of the character's plot opportunities and anything else. I will not see questions about a character as a commitment to adoption and I will not pressure anyone into adopting a character.
