If it's listed and I missed it, I apologize, but are there limits to how many characters can be reserved by a player in an app round?

I ask because I'm currently debating between two I'd like to try here, and I wanted to know if I could reserve both and decide later.

Couple questions for you...

First, does this game allow duplicate characters, if their in-game AUs are different?

Second, you mention the possibility for power regains in the application. Is this merely "possible" or is it a certainty? (Some of my characters simply aren't as interesting without powers, and that would take them out of the running :) )

Third, how would a character who is literally one soul in two bodies be applies for? For example, someone with a daemon, from the His Dark Materials series? Would that daemon appear as a mute pet, or be invisible, or be returned along with memories? What about characters who are never seen apart in their canon, such as supernatural twins? Could they be apped on the same journal by the same player, or would they be required to be separate characters played by two people?

Fourth, is there a character limit for a single player, or a limit to the number of applications allowed for a single app round (since they're so far apart)?

Hi! The twin question was asked on my behalf, so one just in case clarification there, please. :)

What if the twins are not appable as separate characters? The pair I play are treated as a unit in world/plot/game mechanics, and personality differences are superficial (favorite ice cream flavors and the like). They are never physically separate and never act/appear independently.

In case of canon familiarity, I speak of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum from the Alice in the Country of Heart franchise.

Why hello there person of twice-over excellent taste. (read: I'm asking about the twins because by reserving Undertaker, you beat me to the muse I first imagined here! ;) )

I hope not to disappoint. Good luck to us both, yes?

Understood! Disappointing, yeah, as this was my first choice game for them but I have other avenues to explore and respect your decision. This game still sounds awesome and I may be back to reserve someone properly a singleton. Thanks for your time!

About how many words are you looking for in the AU history sections? These could be extremely developed and fleshed out, or they could be a basic idea. A guideline would help, because as far as I know, they're the character a player will be playing for at least their first few weeks in the game.

Pardon me if this is mentioned somewhere and I overlooked it, but in a lot of false memory games I've seen, characters at least start with a fake name. Will this be the case here? Other than obvious necessary changes to surnames for characters in some roles, of course.

This is pretty strongly related to a concern I had as well; as far as we know, my character has no canon name other than that of his profession. Am I free to assume his Aungierverse memories provide him with a proper name, even if he prefers to be addressed in the canonical fashion?
thelaughingreaper: (Default)

[personal profile] thelaughingreaper 2013-07-03 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I know it's a relatively minor concern, but I'm not aware of receiving any answer to this?

Just thought I'd give the question a little bump in case it was shuffled to the bottom of the closet or something.

Hey, I thought of another, more character specific question!

Misaya has an intricate marking on the back of her neck. It's basically a magical proof of contract between her and her Servant, Lancer. Would this disappear and need to be regained (presumably along with the contract), or would it remain there as something purely cosmetic?

All right, thank you very much.

Since this is AU, would it be possible to age my character to 25 (if I were apping the mistress)? She's 22 in her canon, which wouldn't be much of a stretch.

[personal profile] fairbrook 2013-06-19 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Alternatively, would it be possible to app her from somewhere in between the gap at the end of the war (when she's 22) and the end of the series (when she's 52)?

So here is a query I have come across.

I've played this character in a game before, thus I have an application written. This character didn't have much magic/etc in her story, so for Aungier it's really just a matter of converting a normal person to a different historical point. She still has the same key points to her plotline, which have shaped her personality.

Thus her personality isn't really changed, at all, except for some concessions to the role of a woman from a historical standpoint.

Can I use the personality I already have written, even though it was written for a modern day woman? It's on this journal if you'd like to glance at it for clarification.

Hi, I have a question. I know that all characters appear on the front steps in the middle of the night, but I was wondering, is it possible for non-family members to have an AU history that includes having been at the house for some time, or do they have to be new to the house? To take Kiritsugu here as an example, could I have his false memories include him having been the family gamekeeper for years?
fairbrook: narben of lj; (I’ll keep up the pace;)

[personal profile] fairbrook 2013-06-19 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Um sorry, another question here. Can we link samples from another game, or do they have to be in the AU setting?

THIS…is probably a weird question but since you mentioned planes would the Valdemars have been working on vehicle designs of any kind? The guy I'm considering happens to be a giant robot pilot and it might be hilarious for him to be a family friend by sidelining as their test pilot/driver/whatever when he's not being, idk, a mercenary or something. If not, I can always find something else for him to do or maybe consider a different character, it's no biggie!

Thanks! Do you mean as a foundling then? Or as someone who got involved with the family through certain vaguely-defined scientific contacts in…the US, if it's possible? Just wanna make sure I get everything right and don't step on any toes. =u=a

IC-type question. Does Aungier house run on London time (that is, sleeping late and staying up late to take advantage of entertainments) or country time (that is, up early to take advantage of the light)?

Also, is the house set up primarily with electricity, or is it mostly gas still? I know the family in charge is pretty fascinated with technology, but that doesn't necessarily mean everyone has the latest-and-greatest, so I wanted to make sure >.>

Hey, quick question regarding the one-character-per-canon-per-player thing. Would I be able to app a character from Fate/Zero while still playing Misaya? I've been sitting here for a while trying to figure out how to phrase this question, but tl;dr I'd argue that they shouldn't be counted as a single series because they take place in different continuities, with an utterly different cast of characters. Even the ones you could say are shared between series (ex: the version of Gilgamesh seen in Zero/Stay Night and the one seen in Prototype) are markedly different in their behavior and even design, and the character I'm looking to app doesn't even exist in the same universe as Misaya (or vice versa). They would have no more reason to interact with each other than they did any other character.

'Course, this is kind of a judgment call, so I understand if you feel otherwise!

Hi! Forgive me if this was answered somewhere else, but how do memory regains work? Is it player discretion or mod-given etc etc?
