Character Creation Rules

## Basic Character Rules

We here in DC: Dark Multiverse take character creation seriously because regardless of how small they might seem in the grand scheme of things, they all help drive the roleplay forward; which is why creating characters has rules of its own.

1. All character bios must be approved by a moderator or administrator before roleplaying.  As soon as the bio is approved, you may begin roleplaying.
2. The philosophy of quality over quantity is important to us here at DC: Dark Multiverse and for this, we have implemented a 3 character limit for each Roleplayer.  Each of these characters must be unique and different from the last, failure to do so will simply mean that they will be unable to be used in Roleplay.
3. Characters may not be made based on those from our modern histories such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Paris Hilton, Brittney Spears, or any others of the sort.  Characters from Ancient History such as Sun Tzu, Gilgamesh, Achilles, Leonidas, and others of such are allowed.
4. This is a DC Comics Roleplay and because of this we will not be accepting any biographies focused around any other universes like Marvel or Invincible, attempting to do this may be seen as “Trolling” and Roleplayers may be considered for termination from the group.
5. Original Races, Planets, and Powers will be allowed.  However, they must be well thought out and well written with almost no similarities to pre-existing ones.  Examples of this include Invincible’s Viltriumites being nearly identical to Kryptonians.

## Limited and Banned List

With the main rules out of the way, it is time to get to the second most important part of Character Creation, understanding the Limited and Banned list.  This list compiles powers and races that DC Comics has created that are incredibly powerful and would need to be scaled down to make Roleplay fair.  It also contains a list of Races and Powers that under no way would be allowed for the same reason.  However, as roleplay furthers certain things may be switched between the two sections, removed from it entirely, and even added on.

If you are making a character and it is affected by the Limited and Banned list, please speak with a Moderator or Administrator to see what we might be able to make work.

We have decided to not worry about a Limited and Banned list for weapons of DC Comics, instead, we are choosing to allow only Original Weapons (OC Weapons).

*We understand this might seem like a lot, but we Moderators and Administrators have seen or personally abused these powers before.  **TRUST US** when we say you don’t want them in **ANY** Roleplay.*
