I'm typically a pretty laid-back adopter. However, most of the character I offer for adoption come with pre-planned plots, so some of them may be strict! Please carefully read over my Adoption Information before you contact me regarding any adoptables!

1.  Contract Terms

  • Contract: Very Strict: This adoptable has some pretty strict terms, and I definitely want some pretty specific things out of them. I'm going to be very picky with who I allow to play this adoptable. Players with inactivity streaks, drop/pick-up, etc. may be denied.
  • Contract: Strict: This adoptable has some strict terms. I may want certain things out of them. I'm going to be moderately picky about who I allow to play this adoptable. Players may be approved if they have inactivity issues in the distant past.
  • Contract: Neutral: I'm neither strict nor relaxed with this adoptable.
  • Contract: Relaxed: This adoptable has some pretty open terms. I'm not going to be very selective in who I allow to play this adoptable.
  • Contract: Very Relaxed: This adoptable has some pretty open terms, and there may be opportunities for a new player to adjust their history, personality, or appearance.

3.  Adoption Information

3.1  Pre-Adoption Changes

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

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

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.
E.g., if you're applying for an on-board NPC, it's generally not possible to make changes to them, as they're on-board and an "active" character (not in the sense that they have a player, but they're actively partaking in the game).

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.
  • Please do not kill off characters without prior discussion!

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.

Specific Terms

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

  • been removed due to activity sweep and have not contacted me within the month of removal
  • dropped them with only brief play (0 - 4 months, 0 - 100 posts, etc.)
  • dropped them with inadequate play (unfinished threads and plots, errors in interpreting pre-set character history or personality, etc.)
  • been permanently banned from 'Souls
  • broken a specific term of the adoption contract (e.g., if I stipulated Roose must remain a Loner and you take him to Salsola instead)

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 me by one of the two provided methods -- please do not IM/chat me regarding adoptions. Please include:

  • Your preferred nickname: If you aren't a 'Souls member, what should I call you?
  • Character: What character do you want to adopt?
  • A RP or other writing sample (e.g., from a previous game): Not necessary if you currently play at 'Souls -- but I might ask for a sample for that character in some cases!
  • Your interpretation of the character: No need to be overly wordy here -- just tell me how you might intend to play their personality, their motives, etc.
  • Any plots or ideas you've gotten for the character: Again, no need to be overly wordy -- just tell me what ideas you might have regarding the character's family, conflicts, packs, etc.
  • Have you read, understood, and agree to the contract terms on my adoption page as well as the individual contract terms for this character?:

Note: For most of the characters that are up for adoption, I will ask that we have a LASKY thread to set the relationships between certain characters and to see if you have a basic understanding of how the character is intended to be played.

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 that is not directly tied into any plots are less strict than characters who are monumental to some plots, i.e. siblings and on-board children.
