Persona
Policy
1) All personas played in RP or featured in a story must
have a completed persona sheet approved* prior to playing that character in an
RP or before a story featuring them will be published. No exceptions.
2) NPC characters can be used if they are contributing to a current
story arc, but can not be featured. As in, they can come up and talk to others
to help forward a story, but they can not go off on their own and have their
own plot threads. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis; please speak
to the BOD if you've got something in mind.
3) NPC characters must have at least a blurb on file; if they are
attached to one of your characters, as most are, they should be at the end of
that persona's sheet.
4) WNPC characters can be used at any time, so long as they are
consistent with any past use of them, in stories or other RPs. Nothing
outrageous can be done with WNPCs without BOD approval. They can appear in
posts or stories to help forward a plot, but you can't injure, kill, or start
forming relationships between your characters and them.
Reasons for this policy
It's a common event in fandom - a person will start playing a character, working with a minimum or no sheet. They get carried away. Before the BOD knows it, the persona is related to someone they were never related to before, or something completely random comes up that is against the rules. The problem with not having a sheet is that we can't approve nothing - and we'd rather you put the thought into your persona ahead of time, then find out later that you've been trying to do something with them that we simply can't allow.
There are no exceptions to this policy, a persona can not be played until the sheet has been approved.
What defines a "sheet"?
Our persona sheet can be found on the Yahoogroups site, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheranWeyr/files What you fill out doesn't have to be every detail of your persona's life - we understand that you find some of it with time. But an idea of where they are from, how they got where they are, a bit of their general background, and some key personality traits are a must. We're not asking for a huge 3 page monster of a sheet - just a couple of paragraphs for each area will do.
Who do I turn my sheet in to?
Virginia and Cindy (avilialione@aol.com and irilyn@yahoo.com respectively) are always willing to take your sheets.
What if I turned in a sheet and no one has gotten back to me?
Don't panic! New RPs are always starting!. As Virginia, Cindy, and the rest of the BOD are very busy people outside of fandom, please give them at least a couple of days to respond before sending any reminder mails.
Questions?
Ask any of the BOD!
