Canon Characters

The Witcher universe overall is massive, as such there's a ton of canons to consider - many of which don't have detailed backgrounds so it would be entirely up to the adoptee to create a rich history for them.

Major canons can never be retired, even if a player leaves the game - when that happens, the canon is made re-available for adoption.

Contact the game's Admin if you're looking for a character that is not listed since most unlisted characters are usually considered dead, or are sometimes simply NPCs, in our game's lore. Reach out if you're not certain.

## Adopt A Canon

For inquiries, contact The Elder *directly* via the game board. Do not post your interest in our OOC area.

Preference will be given to long-term players of our rpg, current members of the Continent rpg with a minimum player rank of "Continental " (i.e. 300 posts on the rpg's game board), and/or will be left to Administration's discretion.

Players interested in canons are still required to use the Character Application form, and their profiles will still be subject to our game's regular approval process.

## Canon Duty

1. Players with canons are **required** to post as said canon character a minimum of 4 posts (not *threads*) per month, per canon character under their control. Failure to meet this expectation will initially result in a warning, while repeat offenders will have said canon removed from their personal roster by Admin so that it can be re-listed for adoption.
2. Solo threads do not count toward the monthly minimum requirements for posting, the required 4 posts must to be in threads with other players.
3. Players with canon characters cannot turn down thread requests from other players without justifiable cause *exclusively* inclusive of:
	* The canon character is in a different kingdom, city, etc.
	* The canon character is already in 10 separate threads.
	* The canon character is unavailable on the requested in-game specific date (via the Elven Calendar).
4. Players with canons must lead by example in threading with other players, not their own Original Characters. Solo threading a canon with an OC, without other players involved, is not allowed - remember this is a roleplaying community, not a fanfic one. Collaboration is key. Major canons, or those with high social ranks (monarchs, military leaders, etc.), should be active on the boards, leading small plots, and encouraging fellow players to join threads.
5. Canon characters must make an effort to engage with non-canon characters.
6. Exceptions will be made on a case by case basis as per Administration's discretion.
