CLAIMS

Claims will open on Friday, July 3 in preparation for game start on Friday, July 10, after which they will stay open indefinitely. All applications received after game start should receive a response within 72 hours. There is a character cap of 40 and a cast cap of 6.

Character cap: 24/40

• There are no reserves — first come, first served.


• In the event of two claims for the same character, preference will always be given to the version played in Balance RP.


• Players have 72 hours to submit revisions. If they fail to do so within that time period, their claim will be rejected and they will have to wait 1 week to resubmit their claim.


• Each player can have a maximum of two characters. However, if you would like to claim a second character, please check with us here first!


• Claims will remain open until the conclusion of the first arc of Imaginary Island, after which time they will close for plot reasons. More concrete dates will be made available as the first arc progresses, but this time frame is anticipated to be about 1.5-2 months (meaning claims will close around the end of August or beginning of September 2020).

Character Information

Name:
Canon:
Canon Point:
Age: Real/apparent.
Balance Import? Yes/no.

History: For original characters that did not participate in Balance RP. All other claims do not need to fill this section out. Please give us an idea of the original world your character is coming from and the events that have led up to this point in their life. Keep this brief; we'd like an absolute maximum of 700 words.

Personality: For original characters that did not participate in Balance RP. All other claims do not need to fill this section out. Please give us a brief idea of what your character is like! No more than a couple of paragraphs are necessary. Feel free to format as bullet points or more formally — it's your choice.

Character ability: If your character has a canon ability that you would like to adapt into the setting, describe it here. You may pick only one canon ability. Gauge whether it is overpowered for the setting and, if so, please describe how you plan to nerf it for the purposes of Island. We may ask for further tweaks if we have concerns about its functionality in-game.

Inventory: List everything your character has on them at arrival on Island. If your character is a Balance import, they can bring everything they had on the Moon Base as long as you list it here. If your character is coming in fresh, they can have one non-magical weapon on hand.

Sample: We'd like to see a sample of any length, as long as you feel it's representative of your character's voice and personality. For Balance Transfers, this is where you can put the link to your old app or a thread from Balance.

Paths

Primary Path: Please list your character's first chosen path.
Secondary Path: Please list your character's second chosen path. If you haven't decided on one yet, write "undecided."
Advanced Path: Please list your character's advanced path, if applicable. If you haven't decided on one yet, write "undecided". If you are opting to max a secondary path instead of taking an advanced path, write "none" or "N/A".

Why these paths?: Let us know in a few sentences why you've chosen the paths you did for your character! How do they fit with the character's personality, or in what interesting ways do they contrast? If you are grandfathering in paths that your character previously had in Balance, you do not need to provide an explanation, but for any new paths we'd like to know your reasoning.

Path Actions: Provide a list of path actions your character will have access to on Island. As a reminder, Balance imports have the opportunity to arrive on Island with all path actions maxed out; if you'd like to take that option, please list all path actions here. New characters will have all primary path actions when they arrive on Island.

REVISIONS

[imaginarymods]

Quick question!

We need some clarification about your claim. Please provide the following within the next 72 hours.

While Christine's power will work just fine, we'd like to know more about its limits. What is the range (distance) of the light and heat she can emit, and for how long will those affected by it be blinded?

[aceso]

I pictured its range as about the distance from a stage in a high school auditorium to the back row. The heat loses its strength the further back you go, and the light goes from blinding while up close to merely squinting the farther back you go. The blinding effects would last less than 30 seconds.

[imaginarymods]

Howdy! Thanks for getting back to us. We're just fine with the time limit you've suggested on the blinding effects. Would you be amenable to a range of 30 feet for heat and 60 feet for light? We'd like a bit more of a specific range and one easier to measure in the setting, while also balancing Christine's ability with path actions.

[aceso]

Yes, that sounds great!
