 Trying for a Canon Character
« Thread Started on Sept 7, 2009, 6:35am »

Trying for a Canon Character
Canon Character tryouts are done for a reason, we want the best possible person playing a canon character - someone who can not only play the character effectively but also grow with the character, and progress into the storyline effectively.


For each canon up for adoption, we will put up a small description, and a list of expectations for playing the canon character. Canons come with the responsibility to play them regularly - depending on their importance to the RP they may need to be played more often - so that the RP runs smoothly.

If you're planning trying out for a canon character, please be sure your properly fitted to the following requirements:
  • The Character you wish to play is not on the Taken Canons Roster.
  • You are not already playing more than two Canon Characters already.
  • We can rely on you to post regularly, keeping current on all threads, and initiating new ones as needed. See here for specific notes on canon activity.
  • You have no past offenses involving banning (on this site, only)/It has been 50 days since your last offense.
  • You must register for the board by creating an account. This proves you're actually willing to invest, and it allows us to contact you by private message if necessary.


If you fit and checked all of the above, you're ready to try out for a Canon. Here's how:
  • Make sure that the character is available by checking either the Canon Applications forum or the Taken Canons thread. We don't need two of any character. :)
  • If the desired character is already posted for application in the Canon Applications forum, read the profile, and any specific expectations or instructions for them.
  • Once you've gotten a good feel for the character, respond to the designated thread in the Canon Applications forum by composing a Roleplay sample about 2-3 paragraphs long, or place a request for the canon in the Canon Request thread.
  • Now, you wait. Please be patient, but we do promise we will do our best to answer your request and/or read your application as soon as we're able. Formal applications will have a marked end date (they last two weeks only), but minor canon applications will be handled much more quickly.
  • When the evaluations are tallied, the winner will be announced in the application thread. The Mods will tell you where to go from there.


If you don't get the character, don't fret. It doesn't mean you're a bad roleplayer, it just means you may have to work on your execution a little better for next time :)

Any questions or concerns can be posted to the Canon Request thread, or you can PM any mod and they'll be happy to help. Thank you!
