NEW Change to [Advanced] Canon Character Profile Submissions!

Outer Senshi Admin Roleplay Director

In the name of Neptune, I make this announcement! XD

Okay, we saw in February that the decision was made by our wonderful RP Administrators Pluto and Neptune that describing a senshi fuku paragraphically was no longer needed in advanced profiles if a picture is provided! This is a different announcement!

New, as of April, 2016, for [Advanced] Canon Character Profile Submissions only:

Please note: Any profiles that are still under review are required to fit these new standards before going up for approval.

Appearance section now requires at least one paragraph of description, and cannot be directly copied from an online guide; players are now required to use their own words when describing their character, as they will be describing them in the future.
Personality section now requires at least one paragraph of description, and cannot be directly copied from an online guide; players are now required to use their own words and phrasing when describing a character's personality - we suggest describing at least 3 personality strengths and 2 personality weaknesses/flaws, and/or character likes, dislikes, dreams, goals, and ambitions to help flesh out this section. We are making this change to our profile review and acceptance standards because quoting a character's personality from a source and actually understanding and writing as that character using that personality are different skillsets, and requesting a player describe their character's personality is a good first step to checking that a player will be comfortable fitting into their character's personality within our advanced storylines, wherein being out of character personality-wise is considered breaking an Advanced storyline rule.
The RP Sample for Advanced Canon Character Submissions has been increased from 100 to 250 words as a sampling of how a player writes their character.

Why?
We make these changes to better align with what is expected of Advanced characters and Advanced storylines:

Quote :: Advanced profiles are held to higher standards than relaxed profiles, and players submitting and using advanced profiles are expected to use proper grammar and spelling and provide more in-depth descriptions and greater mastery of language than when using relaxed profiles; players submitting for advanced profiles should be comfortable creating messages and descriptions in paragraph form and replying to roleplay posts in paragraph form. Generally, Advanced categories in our RP section denote a more intensive style of roleplaying.

Please remember that these changes are only for [Advanced] profiles (thus profiles used in our [Advanced] storylines), and do not affect our [Relaxed] Profiles and Storylines in any way!

Thank you!
