Prospective Players -- Please Read [14 Dec 2004|11:16am] The following are some things which may increase the chances of your application being rejected: * Orphaned characters ("Taking away one's parents is like getting a free pass away from the Banal aspects of the world," to quote one of the Mods. And, as another Mod put it, Rowan Academy is a boarding school; the characters are already away from Mom and Dad -- there's no need to kill them off.) * Abused characters (see the note in the Character Sheet Post format entry on the mood and tone of this game) * Characters created solely for combat (this is a social game) * Tough, rebellious individuals with no regard for authority (this one gets overdone, especially in WoD games, and in a mileau like this one, a character would have to have some regard for authority, even if it's faked) * Sociopathic characters (this one is pretty much guaranteed to get your app rejected right off the bat) * Multiple Abilities at 4 or higher (to quote one of the Assistant STs, "a teenager with a 4 in an ability [note, not an attribute] is going to, by necessity, mean that he's done pretty much nothing else, and other things fell by the wayside.")
