Ok, so I'm considering apping Hallelujah Haptism from Gundam 00. He's the alternate personality of one of the main characters. Can I give Hallelujah his own body, without Allelujah?

[jigoku_mods]

Dual personality characters are welcome to be applied for as separate entities or as a whole. For example, from the Yu-Gi-Oh fandom, we had Yuugi and Dark Yuugi sharing a body and played by one person, but we simultaneously had Bakura and Dark Bakura in two separate bodies and played by two separate muns. Either alternative is acceptable.

Awesome! Thank you.

I'm thinking of apping a character from an RPG type game, in which her magic is improved through use. Would that still happen in the game, or would her powers be capped at what she has when I app her

[jigoku_mods]

As far as experience points/leveling up is concerned, characters are of course welcomed to learn new/more powerful moves during their stay in the apartments. We would prefer it to be done a bit realistically, (i.e., improvement through practicing), but it sounds as if that is what you were planning in any event.

As far as powers are concerned, we do not have a written cap. However, we do request that characters not become too powerful, such that they approach godmode level. As a deterrent to this, our worldbuild states that the more a character uses his or her powers, the more it will attract the attentions of the ghosts, resulting in more (and more unpleasant) haunting for him/her. And, as always, we ask that if he/she is going to use his/her powers on other characters, to please obtain permission from the player in question.

Should there be a drastic change in powers -- something wildly different from what you present on your application -- you will need to inform the mod team for approval. We may request that you fill out a

Weapons

Is there any limit to the size of the weapon? For instance. Lady has a rocket launcher. It couldn't destroy a building, but it could put a seriously big hole in the wall. Would she be allowed to bring that? And would she have access to that kind of ammunition?
(I'm assuming her standard guns are okay by you guys?)

[jigoku_mods]

As with powers, we do impose a limit on weapons, but the limit relates mostly to strength rather than size. Lady would be allowed to come in with her rocket launcher provided that you don't abuse it such that she's blowing holes in every other wall in town, and this is basically just to make sure that no one character is too powerful compared to all the others.

As far as ammunition, characters with various kinds of guns have been able to find "generic" ammunition in the hardware/outdoors store in the town. A rocket launcher is getting kind of specialized though, so we might have to write something in for that. There are times too when the characters have received "gifts" from the ghosts containing items from their home worlds; these items are usually up to the player, so that you could use those opportunities to rearm her, as it were.

As far as how effective any of her weapons will be, we refer you to the section on weapons/abilities above, specifically:

If your character possessed a certain item in canon, then he or she was

[nameislady]

Thanks! I wasn't intending to have her blow holes in everything with bricks. XD I might decide to leave Kalina (the launcher) behind, just to see how she copes without her "baby", but I'll take your answer into consideration when I decide.

[jigoku_mods]

We also now have a canon update form, which is a new addition from the last time you were in the game. That way should you decide that either with or without isn't working, you can apply for adding the weapon as an update.

[wannaseemymask]

I sent a rather unusual question in a message to the mod account - I hope that was okay? =)

[jigoku_mods]

That is perfectly acceptable! We will get an answer to you as soon as we can talk to each other.

[wannaseemymask]

Awesome! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I'm.......kinda stalking and refreshing my inbox since it's my night off and I have plenty of time to get the app done. XD'''''' I'm dying to app and I really really really hope it turns out to be okay. <3
