I am typically a pretty laid-back adopter. All or most of my adoptables have ties to current or future characters, but relationships with these ties differ from character to character. Though my terms are not very stringent, I do wish to see activity with the characters I adopt out. If you do find a character is not fit for you, please contact me, I won't bite! Feel free to test out any character's you'd like from me, just contact me about it with a link. You don't even need to ask!

Thank you Sie/Raze for the template !!

1.  Contract Terms

  • Contract: Strict: This character likely has strong ties with existing characters and extra restrictions/guidelines to ensure that they are played correctly. They may play an important part in the futures of others, so activity is a must. Those who have issues with activity, drop and pick up characters frequently, etc. may not be accepted, but if these have only occurred in the distant past it won't matter! If you are easy to contact, that's a huge plus. Please know what you're getting into before adopting one of these characters!
  • Contract: Moderate: For these characters I may have a few plans and restraints, but are open to a bit of molding. In most cases they have strong to moderate ties with existing characters, and may be significant to their lives. Activity must be decent, but does not have to be as high as a strict contract adoptable. Those with inactivity issues may still be accepted, depending on how much time has passed!
  • Contract: Lax: This adoptable has some pretty open terms, and minimal discussion is required to adopt them. I will not generally be picky as long as a potential adopter shows that they can roleplay the character within the outline given. For newcomers to 'Souls or members looking for a more 'casual' character these adoptables may be for you!

3.  Adoption Information

3.1  Pre-Adoption Changes

Undeveloped

For characters without development (e.g., they have not appeared at 'Souls yet):

You are free to discuss pre-adoption changes to their history, backstory, appearance, etc. I'm typically open to such changes: however you find it most fun to play them, have at!

Developed

For characters with development (e.g., they've appeared at 'Souls already):

Changes may not be possible, especially regarding their appearance and backstory, if they've spoken of their history in-game. In general, I prefer not to allow changes to characters with active roleplay history. Retconning is generally a no-no, and it may change things even if you're looking to alter off-board history of an on-board character with prior roleplay.

3.2  Post-Adoption Development

  • Generally, you do not need my permission to do things with an adoptable. Develop your character how you want. :3
  • For no characters am I looking to control every little aspect of our characters' interactions. For some characters I may have stricter requirements about what I want out of them plot and thread-wise.

For Stricter Characters

Some specific characters may have more stringent terms! I understand that character development just happens sometimes, but if it's your plan from the get-go to take a character a different direction than I envisioned, let me know beforehand. E.g., if you're applying for one of my "darker" characters and you plan to take them in a more light-hearted direction from their outset, including edits to their history to make them less dark -- you should tell me about it when you apply!

3.3  Re-Adoption

About

I work hard to make my adoptables shiny -- some of them come with a lot of junk! I also try to put thought into their appearances and biographies. So, in cases where a player doesn't stick around very long, I'm liable to find a new player. Generally, if you've adopted a character from me and you've dropped them or disappeared, please don't be terribly surprised if I find a new player. D;

Specific Terms

I may choose to re-adopt the character if you have:

  • dropped them for a long period of time (6+ months since character was dropped)
  • dropped them with only brief play (0 - 6 months, 0 - 100 posts, etc.)
  • dropped them with inadequate play (unfinished threads and plots, errors in interpreting pre-set character history or personality, etc.)
  • disappeared from or otherwise permanently departed 'Souls (2 years or more)
  • been permanently banned from 'Souls
  • broken a specific term of the adoption contract.

Your Stuff

  • All baubles (art, titles, icons, etc.) originally given with the adoptable return with the character.
  • Gift art and gift graphics are typically considered reclaimable with the adoptable. If you bear a particular attachment to a table or something, let me know; I am flexible. :)
  • Commissioned and bought art is considered your property. New players must request your permission to use such items, even in the case of art customized to that particular character.
  • 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.
    • ... purchased via the 'Souls store are considered your property and may be removed/transferred to your own character at any time.

4.  Interested?

CONTACT

Contact me by one of the three provided methods -- please include:

  • Your preferred nickname:
  • Character:
  • Why the character interests you: No need to be overly wordy here -- a simple explanation will do!
  • A RP or other writing sample (e.g., from a previous game): Not necessary if you currently play at 'Souls.
  • Any plots or ideas you've gotten for the character: OPTIONAL!
  • Have you read, understood, and agree to the contract terms on my adoption page as well as the individual contract terms for this character?:

4.1  Forewarning

I greatly appreciate adopters who are patient, strong and active roleplayers, etc. I may not adopt to players who:

  • Constantly pick up, drop, and switch characters.
  • Who constantly ask for adoptables, then fail to join with the adoptable.
  • Show severe streaks of inactivity, constant absenteeism, etc.
  • Are not going to join with the adoptable as soon as possible.
  • Have adopted from me before, only to have the situation go awry in some way.

Don't be intimidated -- it's just a warning. :) If you're interested, ask anyway -- the worst that will happen is a no, after all! I'm pickier about some characters than others -- for example a character who I've been trying to have adopted for a long time and who is not integral to my roleplay or plots, is pretty much open season, whereas I might be considerably more selective in considering the player of one of my character's children.
