If you are considering adopting a character, the board says THANK YOU.
The characters on this board have been created, and then abandoned. You can see each one and read their profile, then if you like what you see, you can take one of several actions: you can copy and paste their name and profile entirely, as is (excepting the secret word and roleplay sample), into a new thread for re-application of the character. Or, you can take bits and pieces of the character that you like and rewrite the rest.
Adopted characters will be judged on the same basis as any other character under the application process. Keep in mind that many of the profiles you see were accepted by a different admin in a different time on the site, and the admins that will be looking to accept you now may wish to give suggestions before accepting you. In other words, just because it was accepted as was then, does not necessarily mean that it will be now.
You will notice that a few of the characters in this (too-long) list are canons and/or relatives of other actively played original characters. These are a priority to us. These characters, which will have a disclaimer at the bottom of the profile, require a certain amount of skill and promised activity because they are so important to the plot. While roleplay samples on most characters can be just about anything you wrote, the roleplay samples of canon or important original characters must be as that character.
If you are considering taking on abandoned characters, it would be advisable to either post on the profile thread or PM an admin to inquire about what has transpired with that character already, in the plot. Most of the characters to not have much to their name, but the special characters will be highly involved and you will need to know what has gone on. A very excited, over-exuberant admin will be sickeningly happy to assist you.
WARNING: The adoption of important, abandoned characters will make the members of this board frighteningly fond of you.
