Platinum Hearts Canon List & Guidelines

OUR CANON GUIDELINES
» We do not have any major requirements that are needed out of canon's. In fact, we are now going to allow new members to even apply for canon's. However, for those that are under a month old, they will only be able to apply for one canon until they gain seniority on the site. And if they happen to flake out, then they will be barred from applying for another canon for 2-4 weeks until their activity improves.

Therefore, all we are asking is that people have a firm grasp on the character, understand how to construct a good application for the character and can deliver on the RP Sample by comprehending the character. So we are looking for people who want to be active with these canon's to apply for them.

Canons however, are dynamic characters of the setting. A hundred years is a lot of time and Platinum Hearts has been around over a decade. It is jarring with everything on the site's history that has happened if there is zero change, development or even events to fill in the gaps and with the nature of canons, we expect this to be in some way acknowledged and the player to actually fill in this gap.

Staff do try to keep the work of previous holders of the character as site canon as much as possible, only in extremely rare cases will we allow a retcon of a previous player's work with a canon. Your disgreement towards those choices whether it's actions or ships are not a valid reason for a retcon.

APPLYING FOR A CANON CHARACTER
» You will need to fill out the template at the bottom of this post in order to apply for a canon from now on. After you have filled out that template and it is cleared by a staff, you will then have two to three weeks to make your app. If you fail to make it in that time, then you will be removed from the reserve. Please note that your application must be written in your own words, as if it were any other application. You'll have to wait two weeks after the fact to apply for the canon again. If your canon has failed to be reviewed by the time a staff member could check the final app, then you will not be affected by this.

Once you have been approved, however, you will still undergo a trial process with that canon to see how you role play it. This will take place over the course of two weeks to a month in order to determine if you actually have the skills to back up your claim. We will ask you to role play as much as possible with this canon in order to gauge where you are at with them when it comes to social, combat and other situations that may arise. I'd recommend aiming for three post in that time. We may also do extensions, but that will only occur for valid reasons. (hospital, sickness, job etc.).

After you've accumulated your posts, we will then ask that you post them up in the canon characters app and we'll determine whether or not you'll be suited for the character. If you approve the trial, then you'll just need to maintain your activity on the site. If you fail, then you will have to wait three weeks before trying again. It is also possible to skip trial, but this only occurs if it is someone who has played the canon before OR the rare occurrence where the trial is skipped on case-by-case bases.


LOSING A CANON CHARACTER
» You will normally lose a canon when you happen to go inactive.

If a member feels that the character is being portrayed inaccurately or poorly, an argument can be made to staff. If the arguments are reasonable a staff member will ask members who have engaged with the canon under the RPer in a thread and have experience with this take on a canon to weigh in. If the members that have interacted with this character along with staff themselves agreeing on the points, the canon has grounds to be removed from the player and them be barred from playing it.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT CANONS
» We don't have a set number of post you need to make for the canon per month. As long as you are an active member, we will generally leave it in your hands to deal with the canon as you see fit. However, we will ask that you at least make one post a month to keep an active presence with them on the site. You are limited to having 4 canons. There are some exceptions such as Lilynette and Nemu, who can be held under the slot of Starrk and Mayuri respectively if chosen by the player.

As for the general app guidelines? We don't have any on those either. You are welcome to formulate their history after the canon as you see fit. You are also open to filling in new powers for the canon if they do not have something, like, say, a Shikai. However, this is provided you actually manage to make it flow with the theme of the canon. Additionally, like other characters, the canons do have the potential to upgrade and improve. So you can use the canons just like customs more or less.

Also, if you don't see a characters tier in the listing, that means they simply weren't given one. We've had a number of canons over the years, but not all of them have gone through the grading process. So that just means if you have a canon without a tier -- they'll be given one upon app checking.

And as far as temp leaves go? We will hold the canon -- provided it is a valid reason and the leave isn't for something over a month. We will take this by a case-by-case bases, however. So take it with a grain of salt.
