Hello to all! This is the character adoption thread. The idea behind the character adoption thread is basically that it is a forum for people who have ideas for characters, but not the time or desire to create/RP, to post their ideas for characters so that other members and users may choose to take an idea and create it. The depth of the ideas/characters posted here vary. Once an idea is posted here, the user who posted the idea relinquishes all rights and claims to the character/idea and anybody can choose to create the character.
In addition, the Character Adoption thread is also a forum for members who currently have a character/characters which they no longer wish to control/play, to post their character here in the thread and put them up for "adoption" for another user to take over.
Guidelines for Adopting Existing Characters from Other Users:
1) You must PM the user to whom the character belongs and request permission to adopt the character.
2) If the original "owner" of the character so desires, they may request you to send them a sample RP post as the character. ***Note: this is not to say that all users will require you to submit a sample RP to adopt an existing character. Rather, it is to say that they may ask you to do so, and it is within their right to accept or reject requests for adoption, seeing as it is an existing character***
Canon Characters
**NOTE**: All rules and regulations and guidelines that apply to taking control of a canon character also apply to the adoption of canon characters.
**NOTE**: To adopt a canon character, you must PM the current user of the canon character to request/gain permission to adopt the character. Then you must follow the normal rules/guidelines for applying/taking control of a canon character.
Character Ideas: For Adoption
*Nurse*: we need some nurses and doctors on this site. We have a hospital--Harlem Hospital--but our only nurse has long since been inactive
*Refuge Employee*: simply an employee at the refuge. The refuge is seldom used, but there were generally a large number of occupants-- long-term or short-term -- in the refuge. And employees of the refuge is something we don't have.
*Dock workers*: simply said. Dockworkers. We don't have any that I know of.
*Scabs*: We're noticeably lacking in this department as well. It is ironic to be saying this, but we need more scabs.
*Jockeys*: We have a couple of racetracks, but we don't have any jockeys. A jockey would be a great character.
*Factory worker/Sweatshop laborer*: We have newsies, of course. So what are we missing? Factory workers! Sweatshop workers! Remember near the end of the movie when all those other child laborers, sweatshop and factory workers and more came parading down the streets to join the newsies! Well we're missing them.
