CANON RULES
Each player is allowed a maximum of two canons, however they are only allowed one major canon. This is to prevent a monopolization of major characters.
Canons can be reserved for two weeks. Just post here saying which canon you'd like to reserve. You may only reserve one canon at a time and a reservation lasts for two weeks (dates in mm/dd/yy format) .
Canons must abide by standard character activity rules, meaning you just have to post saying you want to keep using them when the activity check rolls around and you will be fine
Through in-game choices, characters could join certain factions or not. Due to this, characters not for certain within a faction will be placed under the Others section. If you wish to play one of those characters and move them from Others and into another faction, we will move them after your audition and application has been completed. This applies also to Inquisition members who have left the Inquisition to pursue their own interests but might maintain an alliance, connection, or loyalty to the Inquisition. Ages given are, unless there are specific birthdates given in canon, estimates and thus do not have to be adhered to too strictly. Variations of one or two years are acceptable, but anything more of that probably warrants an explanation.
