hi! so are application characters already members of the clan and being grandfathered in or do they join the clan in rp?
I was also wondering if you're accepting a certain amount of characters per group or basing your decision solely on application quality.
excited for this!
Hello ^^!!!
Yes, any application characters who are accepted will be grandfathered into the clan/roleplay UNLESS they have yet to actually join the clan (ex. A pitched outsider character who has plans to eventually join a clan)
That said, we are currently not accepting any kit/apprentice characters or clan cats under the age of 25 moons. If you have submitted an application with a pitch for a character within this age range, your application will still be considered; however we may ask that you age your character up upon approval. We would like to use this time to also remind applicants that—as stated on the form—if you are accepted, your character might need to be tweaked so that they might fit better into the established world.
We would also like to remind applicants to please be mindful when creating characters with backstories that rely on making a mother either abusive or absent, as well as backstories that rely on pregnancy struggles such as infertility and Postpartum Depression. There is already an oversaturation of characters who either have or *are* bad mothers, and characters who have struggled with Postpartum Depression in roleplay and we have noticed an uncomfortable trend in recent applications regarding these themes as well. Because of this, we kindly suggest putting more care in how mothers and women are portrayed in your applications and to refrain from utilizing these tropes as they will not be approved for use in-rp. We would hate for players to get attached to an aspect of your character that will not play out, however we must value the comfort of all players.
As for applications, we are reviewing each of them based off of their quality in addition to how well we think people may mesh with the rest of the server. We currently have no set amounts as to how many characters we will be accepting per group.
Hope this answers all your questions but if not, feel free to send more to the ask box!! We eagerly await any questions and applications!!
