MULTIPLE FORM COSPLAY & RP RULES
Multiple forms of a character are allowed.
However, there are requirements that must be met.
The character -must- have a sufficient enough difference in personality and a different outfit.
This way, it will still seem like a different character and not the same one twice.
In other words, the personalities are so different that the characters can be RPed together and not "recognize" each other.
There may be exceptions to this, but only in the case of shop events.
Whether or not a character's alternate forms are acceptable are up to Kaitaia. If you would like to order an existing cosplay's alternate form you must PM her to ask if you may first. Any evidence to back up your claim would be appreciated, but she will do research as well. Once she gives you the green light, you may order away. <3
*Note; Owners may not own more than one form of a cosplay. Share the cosplay love, kiddies!
Example of a bad alternate form:
Link in his red tunic and Link in his green tunic.
The color of Link's tunic does not affect his personality. Therefore this does not count as an acceptable alternate form.
Example of a good alternate form:
Serena of Sailor Moon, Princess Serena, and Sailor Moon.
Yeah, they're all the same person in different outfits, but the key here is the personalities.
Serena can be RPed without knowledge of the other two. Princess Serena can be RPed thinking that Sailor Moon is her protector, as she is. And Sailor Moon will just be the protector of the moon.
Make sense?
Alternate forms also have RPing guidelines.
- 1 - You -cannot- RP your character outside of it's personality. This defeats the purpose of the requirements. If your character is normally calm and collected, but also has an alternate form that is rash and angry, you cannot RP the other form. Your character can get angry, sure, but not to the degree that the alternate form would.
2 - "Human" or "normal" forms of a character do not have special powers. If you have Serena you cannot RP her as changing into Sailor Moon and vice versa.
3 - Characters with alternate forms do not have knowledge of their other forms. Meaning that, upon meeting an alternate form, they cannot automatically know who this other form is. Sheik does not know who Zelda is and Zelda does not know who Sheik is. A meeting between alternate forms is not a meeting of one's self, it is a meeting of strangers, just like any other Wayward.
*More to be added as Kait thinks of them/they come up. =D
