CHARACTER CREATION GUIDE
- Try to avoid making a carbon copy of a character that already exists. We suggest checking out other players characters prior to creating your character, though because of the large numbers of characters, it is understandable if you cannot look at everyone.
- Rich, Beautiful, Popular, Liked By All, Friends with Everyone - If a combination of these words appear, it is very likely the character is a "Mary Sue," Those types of characters are not allowed. Everyone has flaws. No one is perfect. Remember Gakuin High isn't the best of high schools to choose from.
- There are quite a few students not from Japan in this RPG. Because of this, we won't be allowing many non-Japanese characters into the RPG at this moment.
- Your character can either be new to the school or just transferring from one class to Class B (the class all characters in the RPG are in).
- You may make a character that is in one of the few gangs at the school, but you will be required to contact the Mod to ask permission of the gang leaders.
- You will need to have icons for your character, so consider who you will be using as an avatar when describing what the character looks like. You may use real life people or characters from cartoons, books, video games, etc. Just remember this is an average high school RPG, so odd looking characters may best be avoided.
- You must inform the Mod whenever you change your character's information.
- Don't take it personally if the Mod asks you to alter something in your application. We are must likely trying to prevent duplicate characters.
- DETAIL!!! Lots and lots of detail! Don't just write one sentence for each topic. This is what makes the characters stand out.
