Greetings, Bleached Souls. I'm new to the site and eager to join ASAP with the rest of you, but first I have a couple of questions I would like to ask and, if possible, I would like to address them to a moderator (or anyone with experience and time in this site) before actually posting a character.
I'm not used to the layout in this forum (I'm not part of many forums to begin with), so this is a bit confusing to me. I found the character templates, but I'm unsure as to where to post my character, since there are not any other ones in that topic. I'm sure I'm the only with this problem though, as no one else addressed that question in the guest room as far as I saw.
Next, I'm guessing that there are some limitations as to what kind of characters people can choose from, or else everyone would get vizard or arrancar or would come up with crazy mixtures like a quincy-shinigami or else. Second question: what are those limitations?
I admit I'm a bit short of experience when it comes to advanced RPs. So far the only ones I've participated in were just forums in FF.net and the quality of narrating and character developing skills going on there was extremely poor; which is why I decided to move on a next level. I know about terms like God-modding or Mary Sues and also read the rules section, so I'm not that new on the subject. My final question being, to what extent is something God-modding? (Ex.: John summoned a couple of small creatures to stop Frank from moving. Frank sets free of them). This came out a lot in the first RPs I participated in, but I wasn't able to answer whether or not that's God-modding, since one got away with the other one's technique so easily, yet its not like he controlled the other user's character.
Finally, if you believe there is something else I should be aware of or anything else, please say so. Maybe some of you may think I should just search and learn on my own and not bother others; I'm truly sorry, this is just too confusing for me and I could use some help.
