CHARACTER RELATEDHow many kids can I have?For now, three. Your first one must be at least sidekick stage already before your second character slot is available. The same goes with your third, you need to have both previous characters at sidekick level before this slot is open, UNLESS, the event you want to win the character in says otherwise.
What ages should I make them?Between 6 - 60 is fine. Please try not to go to the extreme ends though... Geriatric Lad is just very strange......
When creating your rookie, please make sure they're below 16 unless you have a really good reason for making them older.
Hey hey my kid's growing up to his next stage, can I age him? Even though its really weird and all???I know its a bit bizarre timewise that some kids are suddenly older than the rest, but REMEMBER, we operate like a 60s cartoon. Don't try to make too much sense out of things or your head will explode. Just take it easy and go with the flow
That said, I'm setting the ageing ranges as follows. If you wish to change your baby's age, please make a record of it in your journal!
Rookie to Sidekick: 1 - 4 years
Sidekick to Hero: 2 - 7 years
If you want to go beyond these ranges, you'll need to give me an excellent reason why it must be so. Otherwise, please stick to the guidelines. Likewise, ageing is optional if your rookie-going-sidekick is somewhat old already but bottomline is, exercise some common sense yeah? No 16 year old heroes.
Can I call my sidekick Superboy? He's not really Superboy though, just... you know.If it will create confusion with another well known established superhero, then no. A-listers like Batman, Superman, Spiderman, anyone who has/is going to have a live-action movie is off limits.
Wouldn't you want something unique though?
Are these kids RP required? Very heavy RP requirements...?It will be RP heavy if you're dedicated (and love us very much). Otherwise, all we ask is that you meet some very simple requirements.
Show us you're still aware of our existence by at least posting in the main thread once in two months. And since you have a kid all fleshed out here, at least post a proper RP in the guild once in three months.
So what happens if I don't post in the thread for two months? Or post an RP in the guild for three months? Huh huh?Well... we want to see you alive and active, that's all.
If you don't post in thread for two months, or post a guild RP for three months, we'll send out a PM to ask where you are and tell you we miss you. If there's still no activity from you after six months, we'll have to deal with your character.
If you're only going on a hiatus but plan to come back, please let us know so that we don't take your character away.
IC / OOC / RP RELATEDSince Rookies can be in Civilian Clothes or Hero Clothing...Do the students at the Academy know, generally, both identities of their fellow cadets?To protect their identities, students usually don't reveal their civilian aliases, so when in academy they're almost always costumed.
Although, if they want to parade around as their civilian selves no one will stop them either, its just highly NOT recommended, since the school is regularly targeted by villains as well
Once a character has reached sidekick stage, do they still attend the academy? As a general rule, most kids would continue to stick around. We're not gonna chain you down if you're bent on leaving though. o uo
Who's going to rp all of these villain people? :OMods, but only when the time calls for it. Otherwise, they're just there for you to "use" them in your rp if you need a bad guy, so like, just play them yourself * v*b
Can we sub in our own villain for a mission? Or do we need to get specific permission for it? Or can we just NOT do it period?Yep you can use your own villain for a mission, if the mission doesn't specify you have to use a particular villain. No need to get permission either!
For an RP I need a villain with a (kinda poorly kept) secret civilian identity.
None of the available NPC villains will fit this role. Can I invent one?Yes you can! It'll be your own villain that only appears in your character's solos and history.
Alternatively, if you'd like to share your villain with the rest of SA, you can drop his/her details off at
the Villain Bank!Dorm rooms. How big are they?
Communal bathrooms or ensuite?
Compact/collage dorm or campus residences?
Do they get bigger/nicer as you stay longer? How so?Size wise, probably something like the example for compact dorm, or
this, give or take a couple of square metres/yards etc
Bathrooms are communal.
Rooms are the compact/college dorm type.
And all the rooms are the same, so no nicer/worse no matter how long you stay (unless you're hero stage, then maybe...)
I don't have a roommate! I want a roommate how do I get oneGrab one for yourself mang, we won't be assigning roommates for you. You can post in thread to advertise your availability, or contact mori-zae and we'll try to arrange something if we can!
ETC QUESTIONSI'd like to offer a pet trade with one of the staff! Can I can I?If the both of you are agreeable and you promise to adhere to all shop rules, why not! 8D
Why 1971? Why not 1972? Or 1970?idk its got a nice ring to it, don't you think? Like 1985, or 1969 8D
What's with the telephone?Don't ask silly questions, go do your training. :U
