SECTION III: CHARACTERS
- Semi-Realistic: We are considered a semi-realistic site when it comes to character creation. Below are clear descriptions of what we do not allow as well as what we do allow to appear on characters on Solivagant.
- What We Do Not Allow: We do not allow minis, mules, donkeys, or zebras at this time. We do not allow deformities like horns, wings, prehensile tails, cloven hooves, or any deformity on an equine that would make them not possible to exist in the real world. We do not allow any bioluminescent body parts or translucent body parts. We do not allow any body parts made of metal, wood, fire, water, etc. We do not allow accessories beyond what a horse might be able to stick onto their body in the wild. This means no armor, weapons, clothing, bags, jewelry, etc.
- What We Do Allow: Unnatural colors are allowed as long as there are no glowing body parts or glowing eyes. Eyes can be pupil-less, snake-pupiled, multi-colored, etc. We do allow hair that is tied back, braided, etc. as long as there are no accessories beyond that in the hair like jewelry or fabric. Tied-back hair is technically unrealistic but some characters just have that in their default design so we are prepared to allow it. We do allow markings that resemble tattoos or paint, but these markings cannot have any magical properties, and if they do wash off in water, it should be obvious that an equine would be able to paint them back on somehow if the marking is considered permanent.
- Companion Animals: Each character is allowed one small companion animal. No animal larger than a wolf is currently allowed. Characters cannot have NPC horse characters acting as companion animals. Companion animals cannot speak words. They can only talk in their natural animal sounds. All of the above rules regarding what we allow and do not allow for appearances also applies to companions.
- Character Creation Process: Staff do not accept character applications, but we do have a board that members are required to post in in order for their character to officially enter the lands. Though you don’t have to wait for acceptance, a staff member might post in the joining thread asking you to change some things about your character if they violate the above rules. There are no word count requirements in joining threads, but you should enter the amount of history and personality that helps you play your character the way you want.
