Original characters are very welcome.
Since this is a +traits based game, you will be required to move through
CHARGEN and generate your character for approval.
You will need to consult NEWS RESTRICTED AND NEWS BANNED for things not to
apply for.
Originals may not write group membership into their history. To join a group,
one must role play their way in.
Originals may not be related to FCs.
Originals must avoid direct historical encounters/references to FCs or FC
organizations.
One thing that an OC should be aware of is that they may start off right out
of the box and not as powerful as the standard FC is for two reasons. One,
they haven't been around as long as the FC and two, they can grow a lot faster
and easier than the FC. Whereas the FC's are limited to their original concept
the OC can go far more lateral.
However, the OC needs to adhere to a few key elements noted in this file and
the next.
