Ok well, basically what we're doing is scanning over the profile, which means you have to read through it.so then we check for
A) Grammar mistakes and character inconsistencies
B) Things that will clash with the plot of the roleplay
C) Overpowered anything
D) Things that clash with the information topics (unless the person has already talked to a mod about it)

I really really want to help approving charries.But since I don't know all the details about the plot, I'm honestly a little worried I might approve a character that you guys would want the creator to edit or one that has conflicting information ? ;-;
Well, Angel and I were actually still discussing the plot, so you could help us out maybe

But of course !What were you guys thinking ?
Maybe send me a message or something so I can help smooth out some details or just give feedback ?
Or whatever else you need help with ^^
Ok, so the war would obviously be playing a large part.And I was thinking maybe it could cause argument among the healers?
Some of them would want to help with injuries
Some of them would just not want to get involved
Some of them would want to stay in the kingdom for the sake of the planet?
Those were my thoughts anyways.

Yeah, I can see how that might cause friction amongst the healers.Maybe it could almost be like a political thing? So it's like a huge thing in the castle too? Since everyone would be looking to the royal family for the answer to the huge debate going on ?
All just ideas. But I think it really makes sense, we should definitely mention it in a plot thread ?
Yeah, I had thought I would add that in there laterAnd since there's such a large royal family they could all have different opinions.

Okie dokie.So would you maybe want me to start approving charries, and than you could just skim over everything to make sure you agree ? That way, if there's something you catch that I didn't, or info that conflicts with the plot, you can have them edit it ? ^^
yeah, sounds good.How do you like this for a timeframe of when to start:
first the two characters in every kingdom
and then we set a date? So it'll give us time to make topics and other people to finish characters.
How do you think we should organize all the topics?

Okie dokie, that works for me.But do you think you could review the Shifter Queen for me ? Because I love Steph's character -like, a lot- and it includes a lot of potential plot ideas for the Shifter kingdom.
So I want to just make sure it all checks out with you, since it has such an impact on everyone else's shifter characters.
As for organizing the topics, we could probably do a separate folder for each kingdom ? And then each place be a new thread within that folder ? Might be the easiest way to organize it all, but it's just can idea ^^
my worry with that is we need the entire sort of 'castle' where the royals would live and all the threads with that, then everyone's homes, and if they want multiple topics under that, and then like the general city and outskirts of each kingdomso I feel like it would get all jumbled

Hmm.Well, I feel like if the castle were to have it's own separate places, then we'd probably have like. . . a million and one different threads. But if that was the plan, then maybe you could just do something like "Castle-Kitchen" and "Castle-Garden" and whatever else comes with a castle. Like, all in the same folder, but classify it as part of the castle ? Or you could always make it a separate folder too, like one labeled Asteria Castle and then another folder Asteria Kingdom where all the general places would be?
I think it all just depends on how many places you want available.
My personal opinion, but I don't think that many places are needed. Like, sometimes there will be multiple threads that literally only have a single post in them and that's it. But that's just what I've seen.
IT'S UP TO YOUUUU ^^
I shall help in whatever you decide.
My only problem is that I've seen groups with only one thread for 'castle' and it starts to get really confusing, especially when people start doing multiple roleplays at the same time. :/

Then go for multiple threads :3You could flag them as important if you want to put them in the same folder as the general places, or just create another folder for the castle.
We can help you set it up however you think would be smartest.
ughI wish goodreads would let you do folders in folders

Whoooo.That is quite relieving ^^
Do you want me to keep approving charries ?
Yeah, just make sure the gender ratio is even for each person. :)
Guyssss I'm back :D I'm sorry for being gone for a week >.<
Meh.
I'll get to updating the character lists now.
Hey guys so I have a quick question but are there an instances when a couple with powers give birth to a child without powers?
Yeah, that is good question. I think there would be, ya know, like Squibs in HP.
Ahah cool, because I wanted to make like a jealous sibling sort of thingy XDSo would they be looked down upon in society?
Oh howd your bday go?
Oooooh, that sounds cool! They probably would be considered inferior compared to people with powers.
It was good :) very relaxing, chillen with the fam :3 thanks for asking!

Can someone be super duper awesome and read through the Shifter Queen's description to see whether the plot ideas Steph had in mind don't conflict with anything ?
I will MMI XDyuppers, and I was debating whether or not I would sound stupid while asking it :P
True that, thanks you Angel! You is amazingggg
No prob, I hope you have a great year ;D
Oh wear can I find her MMI? like is she finished? :P

Yeah, she's finished.In the Female Shifter thread.
This question goes out to all mods: As we approve more characters, we get closer and and closer to having to start building topics. I think that the best way to do that is each of the mods takes one kingdom, and then whoever's done first or has extra time can do a second one.
There's going to be a lot of topics, which can lead to organizational problems. We need to make people's homes, the castle and public areas and any forests or lakes or oceans. (If you think any of these are unnecessary, please say so.)
Now there are two ways to do this (That we've thought of) if you have another idea, please let us know!
1) Have a ton of folders, titled per kingdom and general area (probably about three or four folders per kingdom)
The folders would be titled with the kingdom and area, for example:
Asteria ~ Castle
with all the castle threads in it
Asteria ~ Homes
Asteria ~ Public Areas
2) Have one folder per kingdom, but title areas for exactly what they are.
Asteria Folder:
Castle ~ Prince King's Bedroom
Castle ~ Kitchen
_____ ______'s {House, Apartment, Condo}
Castle Gardens
Public Gardens

I personally think option two might look the most organized and be the easiest. And for the castle places, we can just mark those as important, you know ? So they're all together ? Just an idea :3
And a side note: I think you should consider the possibility of like. . . . Maybe starting earlier ? Because it seems like people are kinda starting to drift a little bit ?
Again, just a thought C:
Yeah, I was getting a little worried... And we have a pretty good number of approved characters... Do you want to set a date maybe?

Yeah, I think that'd probably be best :] And maybe you can send a message to all the members letting them know after we set all the places up ?
Might bring people's attention back to le group
Hey guys :) I like the second idea too like MMI said and as for the kingdom thingy, Ill take charge of Asteria since I already have charries in that kingdom and just think it would be easier for me to do so. Plus I can take another if youd like as well :PAnd for the date, how about like a week from now sort of? Would that be good? You know give people a heads up to finish charries and stuff
Yeah, that sounds pretty good to me. MMI, do you have a certain kingdom you want to make topics for? And then we need the battlefront areas as well...

No, I don't mind which kingdom I get c:But are we going to have the same threads for each kingdom?
That would probably make the most sense, right ?
So we should probs make a list . . . ?
And did you want pictures or a description or are we just posting the place ?
I think a pic and a description would be good :)
I feel like pictures would be good but also kind of hard....How's this, let's just make all the threads with blank first comments, then all the mods can collectively look for and decide on pictures that will get added? And people can choose their own pictures for character's houses and rooms and such?Yeah, the castles would be basically the same, and then there would be general places..... There's also some characters who have family businesses and stuff, so each of those will be unique to the kingdom.
Yeah that's a great idea Emma ;)
Lol thanks :) And that way there shouldn't be issues with the pictures either.I guess we should make a list of places then.
For the castles we can do the followingTHE GREAT HALL
◾The room in the castle called the Great Hall was intended for the main meeting and dining area and used by everyone who lived in the castle. The Great Hall was a large one-room structure with a loft ceiling which was located in the Inner Ward. At the end of the Great Hall was the Dais which was a raised platform for the high table where the highest ranking Lord and Nobles were seated. The Lord's family at first slept at the extreme upper end of the hall located beyond the dais. These sleeping quarters were only separated by a curtain or a screen. This sleeping arrangement quickly changed and private rooms were added to a castle called the Lord and Ladies Chamber.
◾At the end of the Great Hall was the Dais which was a raised platform for the high table where the highest ranking Lord and Nobles were seated. In medieval England salt was expensive and only afforded by the higher Nobility. These Lords sat on the dais at the 'high table' and their commoner servants at lower trestle tables. The salt was placed in the centre of the high table and only those of the appropriate rank had access to it. Those less favoured on the lower tables were "beneath) the salt".
THE LORDS & LADIES CHAMBER
◾The room in the castle called the Lords and Ladies Chamber, or the Great Chamber, was intended for use as a bedroom and used by the lord and lady of the castle - it also afforded some privacy for the noble family of the castle. This type of chamber was originally a partitioned room which was added to the end of the Great Hall. The Lords and Ladies chamber were subsequently situated on an upper floor when it was called the solar.
THE KITCHEN
◾Kitchens were integrated into the Medieval castles - they included cooking ovens for baking and huge fireplaces for smoking and roasting food. They also had a water supply complete with a sink and drainage. The kitchens were built against the curtain wall, in the inner bailey and connected to rooms called the Buttery and the Bottlery
THE GARDEROBE - PRIVY CHAMBER (the Toilet or lavatory)
◾The room in the castle called the Garderobe was intended for use as a toilet or latrine. There were many rooms used as lavatories, called garderobes or privies, included in Medieval Castle. The Privy chambers, garderobes, were positioned as far away from the chambers as practical and often had double doors added to reduce the smell! Shoots were provided for the discharge which often led to the castle moat. The garderobes were supplemented by the use of chamber pots
THE MINSTREL'S GALLERY
◾The room in the castle called the Minstrel's Gallery was intended for the Lord's musicians and situated on a raised gallery overlooking the Great Hall
THE THRONE ROOM
◾The Throne room was a later addition and was designed as a receiving room in a castle when the King or Queen was in residence
THE PANTRYThe room in the castle called the Pantry was intended for the storage of perishable food products.
THE PLACE OF ARMS
The room in the castle called the Place of Arms was a large area in a covered way, where troops could assemble.
ACCOMMODATIONS
There were various rooms used for accommodation purposes of the soldiers in the castle. Such quarters were called barracks and mess halls
And maybe gardens as well?
Is everyone ok withSunday, March 16th being a good day to start?
If yes I'll send out a message reminding people to finish up any characters and such.
Ok everyone! Well...we're starting sundaySo if everyone could try to work together and get some topics up that would be amazing.
hey guys, when we say castles, I know that this is a modern kind of thing, but are the castles modern too? Like mansions?
Yes, they're modern. I picture like... Really fancy hotels actually. Haha XD
hey guys, I had an idea, and feel free to tell me it sucks because I can be stupid But I was thinking if in each kingdom we can put a 'housing application' so we know what housing topics to make whether in the castle or outside of it.
It would basically be like
Whose place is it
What it looks like--pic/description/both
And this is optional but a small blurb about it
Yeah, that's probably better than the way I was doing it XDI'm trying to figure out all the essential topics for just general areas right now...
I just didn't know if you wanted to add them to charrie list or not ? If not, that's fine ^^ Just trying to come up with ways to make the jobs you guys have a little easier c:
And yeah, I can help with approving if I know what to look for ?
