| Character Information
- At this time, there is no limit on the number of characters a role-player are allowed. Please be aware of your own limits, if the RPG staff believe that you have taken on more characters than you can handle, we will PM you with our concerns.
- Otaku/ original characters are accepted and can be used in all areas of the Galaxy Cauldron RPG.
- Multiverse characters that are accepted may be used in the Gates to the Multiverse section of the GC RPG, found in the Free Form Section.
Character Submission Guidelines All characters need to fill out a Character Profile form before joining in on the RPs (except for certain, but not all RP events). There are three types of characters: Canon (from the official Sailor Moon universe), Otaku/ Crossover, and Multiverse (from other franchises/ universes) and two types of profile forms: Relaxed and Advanced. Submit your Canon Characters here. Sailor Neptune or her RP Mod will review and assist or approve your profile! Submit your Otaku/ Crossover Characters here. Sailor Pluto Uranus or her RP Mod will review and assist or approve your profile! Submit your Multiverse Characters here. Sailor Pluto Uranus or Sailor Neptune will review and assist or approve your profile! - Submitting Your Application for Canon or Otaku/ Crossover Characters:
When you make your application thread, please put in the thread title of your thread two of the applicable headers: Relaxed or Advanced, and then one of the following to loosely describe them: CIVILIAN: SENSHI: KNIGHT: GUARDIAN: ANTAGONIST: CROSSOVER: Example: For my Otaku Senshi/Original Character Sailor Tellus, I would title her thread: Advanced Senshi: Sailor Tellus Or, for my fun canon character, Minako, I would title my thread: Relaxed Senshi: Sailor Venus/Minako Aino - Submitting Your Application for Multiverse Characters:
When you make your application thread, please put in the thread title of your thread two of the applicable headers, and then your character's name
- [Multiverse]
- [Relaxed] or [Advanced]
- Character Name
In the Description section, state the World/Universe the roleplay happens in.
For example, if I wanted to play Lessa from Dragon Riders of Pern, a fantasy series, and I made an advanced profile for her, her thread would be entitled: [Multiverse][Advanced]Lessa Description: Dragon Riders of Pern If I wanted to play Obi Wan from Star Wars and made a relaxed profile for him, it would be entitled: [Multiverse][Relaxed]Obi Wan Kanobe Description: Star Wars Let's say I wanted to make my own character for the Star Wars universe? She's a Sith Lord, and I'm naming her Kyralih Awesomepants. Her thread title and descriptor would be: [Multiverse][Advanced]Kyralih Awesomepants Description: Star Wars Original Character What about purely Original characters? Let's say you've made up your own world and your own story with a fantasy setting and you and some other players are going to play in that world. How would you entitle your character profile thread? Like this: [Multiverse][Relaxed]Kyralih Starcatcher Description: Original Fantasy Tada! Easy as that!

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. Profile skeletons for MULTIVERSE characters: - Relaxed Multiverse Character Profile Skeleton:

| Storyline Specific Information Section Note Sometimes you may want to join a new roleplay using an approved character profile, but there is new storyline specific information that needs to be covered. In this case, you are allowed to add new storyline specific information to a previously approved character profile, however, please follow these steps when doing so:
- When adding new storyline specific information to your profile, please highlight the new section using a different font color.
- Please post a note about the update to the character profile thread so the staff gets informed about it.

| The character profile applications have been updated to reflect a change! You no longer have to describe canon powers, attacks, or magical items. If the power, attack, or magical item is not canon (i.e. it has never been mentioned in the Sailor Moon series), then you still need to provide a description. |

| This basically means that if you go to a website like Wikipedia and copy/paste anything from that site, you must provide us with a link to the page you got your information from. So if I make an Usagi profile and copy her entire profile from her page on Sailor Moon Wiki, I would have to put a link to that page under the new field. If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me or message me on Skype |

Nope! If you want a profile that is able to do both relaxed and advanced roleplays, do an advanced profile. Advanced profiles are able to do both relaxed and advanced storylines. Relaxed profiles are only able to join relaxed storylines. |

| I want to rearrange the order of a few sections in the skeleton for my own convenience when referring back to my profiles (E.g. putting the "history" section separate from either the civilian or Senshi sections). Would this be problematic? |

| Sorry, but we'd rather you stuck to the format we're requesting for official RP profiles for organization purposes. If you repost your profiles in this forum section instead, you can use whatever format you want though. ^^ |

| I have some questions about the Senshi Section
*If a character is male but is part of a Senshi Team and has Senshi-like abilities, should this section be kept? Should it be modified in some way? *If a character possesses or acquires kind of a storyline-specific "Super Mode" with a different appearance and skillset, should iy be added as a separate spoilered section or should it be integrated with the basic profile? *How should possession of canon items by otaku characters be handled?
Oh, and related to the last one, how should relationships with canon main characters be handled? |

| Subject: Re: Character Profile Applications and Guidelines 5th May 2017, 7:23 pm | |
| Male characters can list their transformed information in the Senshi Section, and you can change it to Knight Information if you wish to modify the title.
You can put different mode information in a spoiler if you want, but we'd still like it to be within the profile somewhere, like under the senshi information.
If you want to relate otaku characters to canon characters, you can, but you will have to get permission from other RPers before using your character in their RPs, as they may not want to be connected to your character or your character's history could clash with the RP's general plot.
Could you give an example on what you mean by canon items? |

| Hm, I'd say that falls under the senshi relationship rules. You can add it to your profile, but check with the person you're RPing with if that's okay with them, especially if they're playing a character you connected your profile to. |
