Hello~ I'm working on a Yuki Sohma app right now but I'm asking about a different character I want to app 8D; Would it be possible to keep a character in reserve until the teacher positions have opened up? Or would you rather me wait until they have opened up to reserve him [Sebastian Michaelis from Kuroshitsuji]? Thanks for your time~

*mod in character journal* Hello and welcome, I'm glad to hear it!

The way that reserves work is, if you have a reserve for a character and you app a different one, we delete the original hold, so if you DO plan on reserving Sebastian, I'd suggest waiting until after you apply for Yuki.

That being said, we plan on opening up teacher positions when we get to 200 characters and we're at about 196 currently. I think it's probably best to wait until they've opened up, but if you want to start your app, feel free! :3

Ah, okay! I understand. Thank you very much! ^w^

This always bothered me, so I'm asking a question! Okay, concerning the journals, if someone oh say... throws it off a cliff or the fire place; will it disappear completely? Will the character get a new one or what?

[astrobright68]

XD Good question! If the journal is destroyed, then it's destroyed. But the character can always get a new one with the same name. ;D

How do the Summer months function? Do characters communicate through the journals still, just... from their own homes? /stupid question is stupid

[alwayswrite]

Not stupid at all! During the summer, students can communicate through journals from home as you stated, but they can also go visit each other. There will be summer events that affect everyone, despite being far away from each other, and also festivals and parties and the like that offer a chance to meet up with peers.

We also have remedial classes and quidditch camp as well as the quidditch cup going on. Some of the events we have planned are posted here, but there are a lot more that aren't on there yet.

Hope that helps! 8D;;

Okay, I wasn't too clear on the weapons/magic part of the RP. So, uh, nothing from canon? No weapons or anything?

What if...let's say Hibari comes in...will he be able to access his tonfas? I get that he won't be able to use his boxes/rings, but what about his ability to fight empty-handed? Like, hand-to-hand combat, that sort of stuff [plus the tonfas, maybe...]

Thank you!

Hello there!

As to that, we'd prefer if characters didn't have their weapons, mainly because hand to hand combat and advanced weapon training is really a muggle thing and isn't really something MOST purebloods or halfbloods know of. But if he was a muggleborn, it'd be more realistic for him to know of it.

I hope that helps some!

I'm thinking of returning, but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to just app Hallelujah Haptism, without Allelujah. They're technically the same person, and Allelujah is the main personality.

[modofthehat]

Hello again, and we hope you decide to come back!

That's a good question. I guess I'd have to ask if someone else was planning on applying Alle, as a twin or something. The thing is, separating the two is taking away a major part of the character and their history, especially if you want to play the alter as opposed to the main personality. From the little that I've understood of Gundam 00 Halle came FROM Alle, and went dormant inside his mind for a decent part of the series. So it seems like it'd be a drastic change to separate the two and just play Halle.

I don't want to dissuade you from applying, though; it'd really depend on the app. If you want to give it a shot anyway, we can look over the application and make a final decision about it from there.

[tamara_shadow]

I could try to find someone to play Alle if that'd help..I know it'd take away a lot from the char, that's why I asked ^^ Halle did come from Alle, but the reason he seems 'dormant' much of the first season -he died end of first so he's pretty much non existant second- is because he's the minor personality and only really comes out when Alle can't handle something that's going on.

Still, I will write up an app for him and send it over, won't be hurt if it's not accepted of course!

[modofthehat]

It would probably help if someone else was playing Alle as well, yes.

That's a good idea! Thanks for asking in advance!
