Any question that gets asked sufficiently enough will be added here.
[orange]Q[/orange] Holy crap... no caps on Alphas and Alpha equivalent?
[green]A[/green] Refer to the books, most of the characters Anita encounters are alphas and they always refer to a bunch of other people in their group that are clearly the weaker. It wouldn't make sense for there to be only a few alphas in a group of hundreds.
[orange]Q[/orange] I'm pretty sure I've seen these powers before..
[green]A[/green] You probably have, you know, in the Anita Blake series, Merry Gentry or in general sci-fi itself. These particular write ups were done by Kuro and Bloodreflection. So it's requested that you ask if you want to use these particular write ups.
[orange]Q[/orange] I want to play a Leader character.
[green]A[/green] Sure, by all means. Just keep in mind that you'll be expected to play with people. Picking up a leader character and doing nothing with it is frowned upon. If you don't even try to be in character at least once over a span of a week, you will lose the position and will probably never have a leader again in TGC.
[orange]Q[/orange] Why only one Leader character per player?
[green]A[/green] To make it fair. If one person has a multitude of Leaders and spends most of their time playing just one of them, it limits it for other people. Being a Leader also means that you have to rp with people.
[orange]Q[/orange] Can I make up my own vampire line/human power/etc?
[green]A[/green] Sure, just so long as you talk to the RCs first. We have no issue with people wanting to have their own kind of creature in the room but we do need to discuss the powers to ensure it's somewhat balanced. No vampire is all powerful. Even the Mother of Darkness has weaknesses.
[orange]Q[/orange] I want to play a Panwere, what should I know?
[green]A[/green] Panweres are pretty much standard stuff. We only allow 3 on account of how rare they were. You can play any kind of panwere but just keep in mind that if you involve the food chain for your beasts, your panwere will be fucking nuts (cat, rat, dog or something similiar). Your beasts can also be of different level. The only thing is that the more different the levels and beasts, the more unstable your character will be. We also have a thread for them in the lycanthrope area.
[orange]Q[/orange] I'm playing this rare lycanthrope but no one wants to play with me. =(
[green]A[/green] It's not that no one wants to play with you. You have to keep in mind that sometimes it's hard to interact with a rare lycanthrope. Remember, while it is interesting to you, it might not be to someone else. Try asking someone if they want to play or if you can jump into something they've already got going.
[orange]Q[/orange] I want to play a lycanthrope but I don't know anything about that species.
[green]A[/green] You can always check wikipedia for the information regarding the natural version. Generally, a lycanthrope is going to have similiar traits to what type of animal it's infected with (cats are generally vain and prideful, wolves are loyal and pack oriented, etc). Plus, you can always ask the staff for help.
[orange]Q[/orange] I want to be a Leader Shifter/Lycanthrope but there doesn't seem to be many of those around.
[green]A[/green] You can still play a leader character of that type. We're allowing leaders for all the groups in the room (Crows, Cats, Wolves, Rats, etc). Even if you don't have someone to boss around, you're more then welcome to make that character who'd be in charge.
