Don't. God mod. Don't even try.
No cosplays.
*** Profile approval for flatsale or event winners must be completed in 1 month from their winning date otherwise your rookie will go to the runner up! No exceptions.
Stick to one power. If there're side effects/derivative powers, make sure there aren't like a gazillion of them.
You're now required to map out your powers for each stage for a better idea of the direction you're taking with capabilities to ensure there's no overpowering.
Think about what goal your kid will have or can develop towards, what type of hero does he/she want to become? Out in the field battling or more on the defense or in the background keeping civilians safe/damage control, stealth/spying or other specialty fields.
Certain powers are OFF LIMITS. Check the next post to see what they are.
Ages. Please be realistic and keep it between 6 - 60.
If you are entering as a rookie, we strongly suggest you keep their ages below 16, unless you have a VERY good reason to make them older.
If you're going to create an alien planet, make sure its brand new and include a description of it somewhere. (Aliens are restricted to special events since Nov. 2011.)
Do NOT use existing planets in our solar system or planets from DC/Marvel.
If someone is already questing for a hero with a power/ability you wanted, you are free to go for it as well.
There is no limit to how many quests you can make!
Leave room for growth
For now, the absolute max number of similarly-powered-people in the academy is FOUR.
Anyone is free to give crits for each other! Do help each other out, its a nice thing to do! * v*b
