Contracts

Lenient

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Writing Samples: No sample is needed.

Moderate

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Writing Samples: For new players only, please provide 2 short (1 paragraph) writing excerpts.

Strict

  • 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!
  • 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.
  • Sample: For new players only, please provide 2 short (1 paragraph) writing excerpts. I would also prefer to discuss the character over Discord.



Adoption Terms

Reclaiming Characters

I will attempt to contact you before reclaiming the character, but if I do not receive a timely response, I will proceed. If you don't feel like you can reasonably manage the character, please notify me!

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

  • Activity: If you have been removed in an activity sweep, have dropped the character, or if you are unable to be contacted for longer than a month.
  • 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.

Standards

I look for players who are mature, committed, reliable, and communicative. Please note that I do like to take chances on new players!

I may not adopt to players who...

  • Have previously adopted from me, only to drop the character after a short period of time.
  • Have difficulty managing their current roster or show severe streaks of absenteeism, inactivity, etc.
  • Have IC or OOC infractions.
  • Fail to meet the contract expectations.

Rights

Anything that you have purchased (art, titles, icons, etc) belongs to you.

Should your character be reclaimed...

  • Art: All art of the adoptable (gift art, contest art, art that came with the adoptable) is returned with the character.
  • Titles and Icons: Any titles/icons/etc earned via game points is your property, however, you must request removal/transfer in a timely manner or they become property of the new player.
  • Wiki: Any written content that you contribute to their wiki page is forfeit. If I choose to keep your contributions, I will provide credit to you.

Original Characters

If nothing available piques your interest, I am always open to original characters from Onuba and Bedaya or as a relation to any of my characters, past or present. Please note that this does not necessarily mean I will approve original character requests.

My preferred method for discussing originals is over Discord. I prefer that you have a type of character or plot point in mind before you approach me, but I am willing to help you design a character.


Application

Application

As long as the character is up on the wiki, I am accepting applications for them. If you are interested, you can submit this form either by private message to my OOC Account or by email (theloreath {at} gmail.com). Please note it can take me up to a week to respond. If you have any questions about the form that are not answered directly to the right, please feel free to contact me through any of the various contact methods provided.
