First off, HELLO!!!! Secondly, this thread is so we can set up a thread for adoptable characters. I know some people like me get a lot of different character ideas in their heads, and we want to do all of them. But we can't due to time constraints and the character limit. My idea is to set up a adoption thread for characters.
The main idea for this is so people like me can create all the characters we want, and newbies can roleplay as premade characters so they can learn the site's rules and mechanics without having to get all confused by making their first character and want to change it.
Two examples of this, I can think of off the top of my head are Sala and @shock3600 they both created characters without really understanding the mechanics of the site. I know Drake wants to turn his character into a Cyborg because they seem cooler than humans, and Sala wants to change her character into a absorption-type Majin.
This idea is for the newbies of the site to learn the mechanics through roleplay. The characters won't be played by their creators, they'd be first played by the people that adopt them. I know how hard it can be when you're a newbie to roleplay, and don't know what to do.
The main thing about the characters is that, they will not have starting Power Levels until the people that want to adopt them adopts them. Once adopted, the person will create the Beginner's Post for the character themselves, and if it coincides with the history or at the very least believable with the history they would be able to adopt the character.
But this will not be a substitute to not reading the site's plot, rules, and mechanics. The newbies would still be required to read them, and would still be able to create their own characters. This is to help them learn the site, instead of coming into the Cbox with hundreds of millions of questions like I do.
This would also cut the time that newbies have to wait in order to get a character approved, due to the characters being preapproved. The one thing I think won't be possible, would be Zucceta and Hyoza being able to approve all of the characters in a timely fashion. If we implement this, I think there could be a triumvirate of regular members that go through the adoptable applications, and either approve them or deny them. Only then, Hyoza or Zucceta would look at the adoptable's application, to be approved or not.
The process of being approved, could be through roleplaying as the character in PMs or somewhere else so it wouldn't make roleplayers feel like they're roleplaying with already played characters. Well not really, since the characters wouldn't already of been roleplayed on the actual forum.
Thank you for your time in reading this proposal.
