Character Creation Rules

  1. Characters pending for 1 week or more without progress (being edited by the creator) will be eligible to receive a 48 hour warning and be deleted if the player has not filed an {{LOA}}.
  2. Characters filed without a player listed will be given a 24 hour correction window, and deleted if a player name is not added.
  3. Character Sheets are expected to comply with all rules, bans, guidelines, history and other documentation created to apply to such things.
  4. Non-player characters may only be created in the following situations:
    • To create records of deceased family members mentioned in a character sheet.

    • To create a character for a plot after the plot & character have received Administration Team approval.
  5. Characters who are not cats may only be created with Administration Team Permission.

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.
