Here's a few things that are just straight-up not allowed as far as characters go:
1. Super powers.
Super powers are different than the abilities that the dead have. A human cannot fly, time travel, shoot laser beams out of their eyes, etcetera. However, telepathy, clairvoyance/clairsentience, and "mind-powers" are usually okay, but be careful not to use them in excess or you might be guilty of powerplaying!
As far as special abilities for ghosts go, they totally vary from character to character and we're definitely willing to accept new ideas and such. If you're unsure, ask a mod :3
2. Fanfiction or anything like it.
This is an original forum and characters from any TV shows, movies, books, and anything else are just not allowed. That's all there is to it. I don't want any Sam and Dean Winchesters running around wreaking havoc on the innocent ghosties of this board. So just don't do it please, okay?
3. Ridiculous appearances that are completely unrealistic.
And by this I mean that no, your character cannot have ram horns and giant 10ft. batwings sprawling out of their back. It's dumb and it compromises the semi-realism that we try to keep intact!
Colorful hair, tattoos, whatever, that's all fine. I don't care. If you're a human, anything that is physically possible in real life is fine on here. If you're a ghost or an Abstract, you get a little more leeway since you're not technically "of this world".
However, if you want to be an Abstract that for some logical reason has ram horns and 10ft. batwings, it might be allowed. Because Abstracts cannot be seen by regular Seers and Discords, it's not like there will just be a million demonic entities running around in every single roleplay thread. But remember, getting a character like that approved is going to be a little more difficult than a character that isn't as extreme. If you really want to, though, I say go for it.
4. Anime reference pictures in your character's profile.
Why? There really isn't a good reason. It's unrealistic, it doesn't give people an actual good idea of what your character looks like. We'd rather you have no reference picture at all than have a chibi ghost/demon/whatever.
If you want to share pictures of your character drawn in an anime style, you are MORE than welcome to put them in the art board. Just not in your character profile!
5. Don't roleplay until your character has been approved.
This isn't really about character creation, but I'm including it anyway. We'll get to your profile as fast as we see it, and if enough people join the forum to where we can't keep up, we might change the policy. But for now, to be safe, we need to approve it before you can roleplay.
A moderator will either reply to your character profile with any problems they notice and ask you to fix them before they can approve it, or they will put it in the Approved Characters bin and you are good to go, baby!
