When a group of players click and the posts keep roling in, that's what GM dreams are made of.

We're roleplayers, of course we're going to make a third option the GM didn't present.

The GM should know exactly why each character was or wasn't accepted and be willing to state such. But the reality is that sometimes other characters/players just synergize better

Limited slots and character applications exist as a way for the GM to manage their cast, maintain consistency and try to achieve mutual enjoyment for those involved.

@All Interested Parties: The OOC will come as soon as I finish my character sheet. I don't want to launch the OOC without having my sheet done to point to as an example for those that need one.
Hey, quick question. I've decided on a single character concept that I want to roll with. However, I don't want to spoil it yet. However, I want to ask you something.
I plan for a lot of the character's limitations and weaknesses to be revealed and developed over the course of the narrative and I don't want to reveal it all in the CS. Is it possible to do that?
So I've been thinking on this and in lieu of granting a specialized format, I'm going to ask that you put all currently applicable weaknesses and limitations on the CS and then as developments happen in the IC, update your CS to reflect them.

Let me think about it because I don't want to open the can of worms where it becomes the norm because I allowed one person to do it.
Gonna go ahead and drop interest. How's a mirror-walking, part-time thief sound?
Long time no see! Concept sounds solid to me.
I can understand it, it expresses interest and compliments the creator, but also makes it clear that they won't be joining us.
This is getting almost unreasonably large for just an interest check. I would reccomend putting together an OOC for everyone to gather in before the mods take notice.
I don't know what experiences you've had, but there's no rule on the Guild that states how long or active an interest check can be. The mods would only step in there was a mass disagreement or other such negative situation.
Related to the related, can one choose to not use an image at all (I just prefer to write descriptions, can provide spark notes version as needed)?
Not preferred but again allowed although your sheet is going to look very odd without an image.
This looks all well and good and I like most of what I see on main page and I've been following since close to post time ... but this has blown up way too big. It gets really uncomfortable trying to squeeze in and keep up with, at current count, as many as 14 people all chomping at the bit. Sorry.
I definitely understand that. I would honestly encourage you to hang in until acceptances are finalized but I can also understand not wanting to put the work in with so much competition.
For those of us whom want to use images to represent them, when it comes to costumes for our characters' hero/vigilante personas do we need to try to find original artwork or can we use comic book images? For example: Could someone use an image of the Human Torch to represent their PC who has similar abilities?
Also for my own clarification, the term antagonists in the Supporting Cast section means we can create few super villains for our PCs, yeah?
I would use comic images lightly but in the given example I could see why one would want to use the Human Torch but I would have to say no if the image was say Batman or Wolverine.
And yes, you are able to create a super villain to square off against.
Related question, I understand that anime art is disallowed but what about western-style comic-esque art?
In a flash of originality I want to write a cape that flies.
Essentially, Hawkgirl, except she'll be much cooler (no insane backstory about killing some Egyptian priest with her boyfriend) and have a name that's related to some other bird of prey.
I think it went the other way where the Egyptian Priest killed her and her boyfriend lol. But I can't remember whether that was just on the CW or also in the comics.
Either way, interested to see what you're cooking up.
First is a young punk that is actually an extraterrestrial, perhaps a teenage runaway from New Mexico. I'd like to strike a balance between "gribbly space monster" and "psychic invader" as far as his powerset goes, so I worry about him being too powerful/well rounded.
The other is a weird sort of half-vampire interested in dealing with monsters and magic. Not Blade as much as a John Constantine sort of "keep the balance" detective type.
Thoughts?
I'd personally prefer the first if only because the second is fairly similar to what I'm working on with my own character.
