Rules for Registering an Existing Marvel Character
1. No new player in Marvel Utopia will be allowed a power ranking above Amazing, for a period of six weeks. This will allow Council to watch your roleplay and determine, in accordance with your roleplaying ability, whether or not any ranking above Amazing would be beneficial to your character, and the room. After the waiting period, if your character is granted a power rank augmentation, it will increase to the next power level (e.g. from Amazing to Monstrous).
2. Any power ranks at Unearthly or above shall be subject to Council approval, even after the initial trial period and regardless of whether you are a veteran player or a new player in Marvel Utopia.
3. Even if the character you are registering has low power rankings, it may still be unacceptable because of the type of power the character has. For example: “Incantation of Oblivion: Incredible.” While the power rank is below Amazing, the power itself is inappropriate for the room, because this incantation has the ability to obliviate entire universes. This is at the discretion of Council, as we strive to keep the balance of power in the room stable.
4. Characters on the Ban List will not be accepted for play in the room, without Council’s consent. Please keep in mind that our Ban List is nowhere near completion and serves as a guideline to the types of characters that are not allowed. Should a player bring to our attention a character that is overly powerful or not appropriate for Marvel Utopia, it shall be added to the Ban List at that time.
5. Remember that this is a roleplaying room based on Marvel comics and characters. Therefore, characters from other comics, such as DC, Image, Completion, etc., will not be accepted. If a player does register a character that is not from Marvel comics, s/he will be asked to choose a different character. Please accept our apology for this inconvenience.
As your Council, we will endeavor to meet your character needs to the best of our abilities. However, please keep in mind that we are only human and do make mistakes as well. We are more than willing to work with your, but we ask that you be will to meet us halfway. Generally, if there are no problems or concerns regarding a character, all submissions and questions will be reviewed and answered ASAP, however RT (real time) afflicts Council members as well. If, at any time, you have a problem with a Council member, it is your right to have it solved. Please contact another council member and present your problem, and we will do our best to settle the problem in a peaceful manner.
How to Register a Character on the Board
1. Choose a character after making sure that said character is not already currently in play, or on the ban list. For a list of these characters, please see our other topics in this forum.
2. Find a character sheet for your character and post it as a NEW TOPIC in this forum. The sheet must include power stats for the character, as well as talents, abilities, and a history. We will not accept links for the CS, as links often get broken. Please copy and paste the entire character sheet.
3. After you've posted a character, the Council will read over the submission and approve or deny it. If it is denied, there will be an explanation, and you may adjust the bio accordingly and re-submit. Once you have been approved, feel free to join in the roleplay in the room! You may not roleplay with your character until Council has approved it - even if your roleplay does not interact with anyone else's in the room.
Most of our players here have used Classic Marvel for their character sheets. Classic Marvel does an excellent job, and their character listings are some of the most extensive listings we've been able to find. Feel free to check their site for character ideas. If you use a site other than ClassicMarvel, we require that you provide us links to the sites where you gathered your information.
Upgrading a Marvel Character
After your character has been active in Marvel Utopia for over six weeks, you may apply to have your character's stats and ranks upgraded. Post, as a REPLY to your original submission, the proposed changes you are interesting in making. Then, the Council will determine whether or not these changes are beneficial for your character. Please do not edit your character sheet once it has been approved. Although we have all the registered characters on file, it is much easier to look back and forth if both are intact on the same thread. If you edit your character without Council's approval, your character could be withdrawn from the roleplay.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to talk to us.
Thanks, and Enjoy!
