REGARDING MAGIC
The TECS universe is considered a realistic setting. Magic and magical characters are discouraged, however we do take into account Alternate Realism. This is intentionally vague use of 'magic' that may be explained by science, coincidence or insanity.
---
With that in mind, there are a range of magic-inspired entertainment categories that are suitable:
Magicians (Entertainment)
These are the tricksters, illusionists, and slight-of-hand masters that you would find in places like Las Vegas. Done traditionally (not a front for "real magic")
Fortune Tellers / Psychics (entertainment):
These characters very well might be clairvoyant but the validity of such claims will always face scrutiny (so don't get offended when nobody believes you).
- Do not force your visions upon others. If someone picks up on a thing you post, awesome. Just don't expect it.
- Do not meta fish. People like to talk about their characters OOC, but this is not fodder for your abilities.
* When using your talents with/on another character make sure that you get permission from that character's writer. *
Superhumans & Non-Humans (discouraged):
On this site, superhumans are defined as characters who are more than human in the sense that they have magical abilities, super-powers, telekenesis, etc.
In an attempt to preserve creativity, the site staff have decided that, in extremely rare and limited circumstances, superhuman characters can be allowed.
Characters with such abilities must undergo an auditioning process similar to that of applying for Cannon characters and must be approved by the administration.
To apply for a non-human or magical character:
The following information must be placed in your character profile. Your character will also have to be reviewed by an administrator before being allowed to play.
(1) Provide a solid backstory
There must be a well determined and established reason for your character to be able to do what they can do. Your character cannot use magic whenever they feel like it. The reasons for this are just as important as the reasons why your character can do what they do.
(2) Provide an example of why your character would choose a conventional means of doing something over using magic.
(3) Provide an example of why your character would chose to use magic over a conventional means of doing something.
The application process is designed to evaluate your character and help determine their functionality on the site.
Please be willing to receive advice and be make changes based on the administration's responses. As commitment to the community, collective members (through democratic election) reserve the right to impose limitations and revoke the use of your abilities.
