If you have a question about using the forum that is not listed here please send me a PM.

What sort of Requests can I post here?
You can post Requests for a specific character, a canon character, an already-created character that needs adopting or for members of a character group.

What is a character group?
A character group request is a request for characters in a group. For players this can be members of a family or clique. For RPG Owners/GMs this may be a desperate need for male characters or characters of a particular species.

Why must I include the Required Information?
The Required Information is information that I feel each Request needs to be able to the most useful.

I have a suggestion for the Required Information...
Sure, just PM me :)

What happens if I forget the Required Information?
I will contact you via email and give you a few days to correct it. After that I will just delete your post.

OMG! No one has responded to my Request, what should I do?
Unfortunatly there is a chance that you won't recieve a response. I cannot guarantee that visitors to this forum will want to play the character you are requesting. I would suggest making sure that you are using your RPG to find someone to play the character as well; don't use this as your own resource. You can also bump your post if it falls too far down to remind people that you are still looking for someone.

What's bumping?
Bumping is when you reply to your original post and "bump it" to the top of the forum. Bumping is allowed on this forum to show visitors that the request is still open.

How often can I bump my request?
It depends on how popular the forum area is and how long it has been since you posted the request or last bump. Just use your common sense. If your post is near the top then there is no need to bump it unless a long time (several weeks at the minimum) has passed.

I replied to a request and have had no reply from the Poster. What do I do?
First re-read the original request; how does the poster say to contact them? Make sure you have contacted them in the way they have specified. Try other options if they provide some. If they still do not respond to your interest, it's best to move on.

Can I post requests for multiple characters?

Yes you can. If they are for the same RPG you can post them all in the same request or seperate posts, it's up to you. Please use different posts/requests if they are for seperate RPGs. If you are listing several characters please put details not just names! This forum is NOT for GMs to list every single character needed in their RPG.

For more information about what is and is not allowed when posting multiple characters please read here for more information.
