Hey there, and thank you for this excellent question! We would love to have MMO/D&D/tabletop characters, but they will have to be applied for as original characters and they cannot have any relation to existing IPs. So you could absolutely apply for a character from the Forgotten Realms, but they can't be Xanathar's child or something like that. You will also have to fill out the world information/history section of the OC app, but you don't have to explain the entire mythos of the setting, just whatever is relevant to your character specifically.
I will update the OC section to address this, but please do let us know if you need any further help or clarification! Thank you!

Here are some questions that have been asked on plurk/discord:
- Is there an age restriction for characters? Nope! We don't plan on there being any content that would be inappropriate for children, but please do be mindful of any content warnings on posts that may contain adult themes as per our game rules.
- What about weapons brought into the game? Will guns work? Guns will work provided they are basic shooters and not technology based, but you will be limited to whatever ammo you had on you when you arrived. This may be a good plotting opportunity to find someone to help you make more!

I'm sorry if I missed it in all of this/the Plurk or Discord but. For characters that were previously in Asgardeventide, will they remember being in Asgard before/the Gods and what happened? In case I go with bringing in Clem instead of someone new, and for others that might be wondering and wanting to bring back their previous characters. I figure this is the best place to ask.
Hello again, we're super excited to hear you're considering joining the new game! Unfortunately, we are only accepting original universe applications, and that would qualify as a CRAU. As much as we love Eventide more than the moon, we'll be keeping it as a very separate universe from this game, so there likely will never be any direct crossover except for maybe memes because we miss you all so dang much. ;; We look forward to a brand new Clem or any other character you might want to bring into the game, though!
Yeah, I just wasn't sure if it was allowed or what so I figured I should check regarding that. But that makes sense since this is supposed to be set prior to Eventide stuff and all. I didn't want to just assume that they would remember without asking to be sure.
I am definitely keen to reunite with everyone though! ♥

Hi mods! I just want to clarify something re: canon powers. So if Steve is getting stripped his super soldier powers would that mean he would be back to “I’m so sick how am I still alive” Steve Rogers, or could I keep the health benefit effects and just knock him down to a normal baseline human?
Hello there! The power nerf is nothing quite so strict as that, so Steve can keep his health benefits and he can even be a bit stronger than someone that has never seen a gym before, but he wouldn't have the super strength to pull a helicopter back down to earth or anything vaguely heroic like that. The gods are trying to recreate their bodies as similarly as possible so he won't be reverted to "skinny Steve" in Asgard, he'll just be buff and terribly ordinary. Haha I hope this helps, but please do let us know if we can clarify anything else for you!
Thank you for the clarification! That helps a lot.
Hey mods. Would it be possible to app a book character who is dead before the story, but has enough personality, character and history established to fill a personality section?
Hey there, and thank you for your interest in the game! Unfortunately, we will be requiring that characters have a decent amount of their own "screen time", if you will, where they appear as themselves in canon materials whether it's through present time/flashbacks/visions/etc. A character whose personality or history is largely detailed by secondhand accounts will not constitute enough of a canon appearance to be considered applicable, as would unfortunately be the case for Rhaegar. We hope you might consider applying for another character, and thank you again for your question!
Thanks so much. I'll definitely app someone else.
Question: I did not see it anywhere, but can characters from mythology or legends be apped in? Such as Thor, or Merlin, or the like?
Hello there, and thank you for your question! Mythological characters are absolutely welcome, as long as you're drawing from some kind of source material. We have no issues with any mythos crossover either, so you can definitely bring a Thor into Asgard. Please let us know if we can clarify anything further, and thank you for your interest in the game!
hi mods! i know loki's magic would be nerfed, but would his natural strength/faster reflexes (than a human) remain? additionally, would his shapeshifting also remain or would he be locked in a single form, as that has to do with his physical body? lastly, purely because i can't find a note of it, does odin only have one eye yet or is he still two-eyed because mimir still has his head? i didn't want to just assume off npc icons.
thanks for your time!
thanks for your time!
Hey there, and thank you for your question! All of those abilities would be nerfed upon entry into the game, as all characters will be restricted to "normal human" capabilities. You could say he's a little stronger or a little faster than someone who's never been trained to do such a thing, but it still would not be anything far beyond what your average human being can do in the real world, and he would not be able to shapeshift.
As for our NPCs, they do look exactly like their icons, eyes and limbs and everything! Our lore is very, very loosely based off of Norse mythology; I would go so far as to say some things really only kept the names. Haha We'll see if some parallels may come to pass in the course of the game, but for now, everything is as it seems on paper.
I hope this helps, and please feel free to less us know if you have any more questions!

Hello! I'm thinking of apping a non-human character who is an anthro wolf. Because of it implies, I wish to know what limits I should apply.
He is indeed stronger, faster, better sense of smell, etc, than a human, but I suppose those would be nerfed to human ability? However, legosi still has really sharp fangs and claws, he absolutely does not feel cold because FUR - so I think it's better to ask the mods what you think it's best.
He has no supernatural powers, it's literally just a wolf with humanoid anatomy. All wolf characteristics are still there, plus the human characteristics, so I will roll with whatever you think it's best!

Hello there, and thank you for your interest in the game! As far as the superior senses go, those would be fully nerfed to normal human capabilities; this would include smell/sight/hearing/etc. You may have have him be a little bit stronger or faster than a human that has never exercised regularly in their life, but it still would be nothing far beyond general human ability.
As for physical attributes, he may keep his claws and fangs and they would still be capable of doing damage, so long as it's purely physical damage with no real supernatural ability to it. He would still have his fur as well, but because this is more of a minor detail, we'd let you decide whether or not he can feel the cold yourself. It may be a fun mechanic to play with, and there may be circumstances where such a resistance to cold would not apply regardless.

I am wanting to play this little lady here, but I am curious. It says powers are stripped/nerfed and they essentially now have the capabilities of humans, but how would a vampire be handled? Would they still crave blood at all?
Hey there, and thank you for your interest in the game! A vampire would still have all of their abilities nerfed, but we would leave it up to you to decide whether or not they still need blood to survive. They would gain no benefit other than general nutrition, so it could be fun to play it either way! Please let us know if you have any further questions!
Thank you for getting back to me on this ^^
It seems like a fun thing to still play with definitely and i'm VERY thankful for this clarification as it helps me figure some things out! <3

Hi! I was wondering what happens with cyborgs? Would they arrive in that form or be reverted physically back to their previous living body (in this case, an alien)?
Hey there, and thank you for your interest in the game! Cyborgs can arrive in their robot form and they would still be made of metal/plastic/whatever else their body is made of, but they technically will not operate on any form of electricity or circuitry (because magic!). Their bodies can still be destroyed, they can still die, and they will not have any sort of special ability beyond that of a standard human being. So basically they'd just be a mortal hunk of fancy metal. I hope this helps, but please do let us know if you need any further clarification!
