#nelru faq

hey there!

fan games are considered to be an alternate universe of a canon work, which is completely allowed. so yes, you absolutely may!

however, we still uphold our rule of ocs not being allowed to interact or be connected to canon characters in order to be accepted into the group. as another note, an alternate universe version of a canon character would not be considered an original character. for example, if ash ketchum was in a post-apocalyptic fantasy au, then he would still be considered ash ketchum and unable to enter the group.

i hope that makes sense! let me know if you have any more questions and we’ll be happy to answer.

to be honest, it varies! nelrunari has about 25 muns playing about 60 characters, so we’re a smaller group; we may be slower than some groups with 100+ members. however, we do consistently have activity in the server and in private/small group threads between members in dms. i like to think we hit upon the best of both worlds in that it’s easy to find someone to rp with if you’re looking for interactions, but also easy to keep up with pretty well even if you’re busy outside of rp!

as long as the artist is okay with circulation of their work, that’s perfectly fine! every artist has their own parameters of what they’re okay/not okay with, so it will ultimately be up to them. we’d recommend checking for faq/rules on their page(s) or asking them directly before including art/links in your application to be on the safe side!

hey there!

in the case of being a shapeshifter, you would be allowed to change forms still, as we would consider this a natural ability. however, there might be some limitations put onto it. what we’ve done so far is bar the use of shapeshifting into anything too large (say, something the size of a car or larger). another thing that could happen is that your character is limited to a certain number of shifts per day. it really depends on how you interpret their ability and how far it can go! and, of course, your character will also be barred by any natural limitations their species have: those aren’t taken away. 

i hope this helps!

Heyo! Thanks for the question and sorry for the wait!

Since it sounds like these powers were acquired from a contract, they would best fit under Power History. Any and all powers gained through the contract would generally be lost upon entry. However, if something is integral to your character and you'd prefer them to keep some aspect of their transformation, please either run it by us or make a note within your application! We'll do our best to accommodate!

Hello!For now, we'll be measuring activity on the form submissions alone. Since we're an OC-Only group, we don't need to worry about hoarding characters or anything. However, if we notice a lot of accounts absent from chat for weeks at a time, we may implement a minimum amount of activity in the future.

As for the 500 word thread qualification, that is cumulative per person!

Heya! 

MMORPG based characters with a stock story are still welcome! You wouldn't need to change their backstory unless you wanted to. Instead, if multiple characters from that same MMORPG app with the same or interfering backstories, then they would simply come from different universes!

Hey anon! 

We’re aiming to open 12:00 pm Sunday PST (3:00 pm EST), though there’s always the tentative minor delay for all the mods to be available for the big opening. We wouldn’t want to miss out on the chaos!
