This page contains the types of character creation that are open to brand new players. CoSC considers players "New" when they have no approved characters. The options are somewhat limited, but that cannot be helped. We consider the creation process part of getting familiar with CoSC's rules.

The tools located on this page are intended for staff or for people working at the behest of staff. If you're on this page you're either just gawking or your working for Kitsufox.

Characters Pending Check

This section is intended for use by those who are tasked with reviewing characters and ensuring that they are all up to scratch. They must comply with all rules for that type.

Pending Characters Lists - This list contains all pending characters in the game.

Imports

Characters from the Old Site are no longer eligible for import without special permission from Kitsufox. They are also not eligible to be re-created as new characters, and users caught attempting such a thing will be punished as a violator or Copyright.

If you feel you have a valid reason that a character should be recovered from the old website (historical significance, biological tie to an existing character, ect) contact Kitsufox via PM and plead your case. Be sure to include why you feel the import should be made. If the administration deems the matter valid then the import will be arranged.

Non-Cat NPCs

In some cases one may need to create an NPC character that is not a cat. While these situations are infrequent, they do happen.

This functionality will be restored at the next opportunity.
