Original Characters for True Blood Devoted
RULES
If you currently drive a True Blood character (from show or books) you are allowed ONE original character. You MUST provide the admins with an original character application (see admin for one) providing a backstory, relatives or friends they know, why they are coming into the TB world, what they will do, who they work for, their background, their agenda, etc. A well thought out layout of WHO your charrie is...doesn't have to be a book, but it has to make sense. Not just, oh my character is single so I want a girlfriend/boyfriend. And I'm a vampire....new to town. No give me details!
If you drive a TB role, you MUST make post requirements on that character. I get sometimes we don't "feel" the role anymore, but DO NOT let that be just an excuse so you can just be your original character. You cannot neglect posting on your TB charrie...you made a commitment to TBD and lets be fair here, it would be really unfair to the admins and the group if you are a core member or important person in storylines and you drop your character to be original. How would you like it if your writing partner did that? If it becomes an issue where we are over run with just original characters and no one is playing actual characters from the show we will put an end to ALL originals. We are allowing this as a courtesy to bring in more story lines, more members, and you a way to show off your personal creations.
NO MORE THAN 2 CHARS PER PERSON! We do allow you to have more that two IF and ONLY If you are and have been showing posting requirements being met, be online and available for scenes and be able to juggle all three. Only ONE core, ONE Minor and one original. OR one TB and one Original character. mix it up doesn't matter. Now...we make exceptions:::If you want two major roles and can post regularly on BOTH, then we have no issue.
You cannot create an original "just to" or for relationship status change. Remember FB does this thing about you have multiple accounts...we already risk it by having RL profiles and RP profiles....so beware of what you could be risking. Do not create a "Significant other just so your other TB char or a friend can have a mate.
If you are denied to make your original character, do NOT get angry with the admins or think its unfair. We will weigh EVERYTHING you give us and if it doesn't mesh, it just doesn't. But we WILL (if denied) give you an idea of HOW to make the character fit. Things you could change to make sense in the TB world. You will be signing these rules if you can agree to them and if you agree and get mad and leave for no reason, it will be highly unlikely you will be accepted back, and your name will go in COCP for players to watch for. We hate to do that, but we do whats BEST for the group. We can't be overrun with originals and have more originals than actual TB related cast. We are True Blood Devoted NOT True Blood Original Characters.
If you are a driver of a TB charrie and you take on a original....your first commitment is to the TB role....it is like taking on two jobs....your TB role is your full time job and your original charrie is your part time job....and if Admin notice a drop off on post with your TB charrie, then something will be said about it and if it continues....then your original charrie will be written off! We WILL kill off your original...brain tumor...tripped and fell on a wooden fence....caught the flu and die....I don't give a shit....your original will go...or laying in the hospital in a coma until your TB charrie posting are up to par.Still don't understand?Sookie Stackhouse will fairy blast your original into fairy land for a year or two, Pam will stake your original with her jimmy choo, Eric Northman will pull the heart from your original's chest, Violet Rose Asher will use your original as a target at the range, Tara Mae Thornton will kick yo Original's teef in! We are the Admins of TBD and we can and will have the right to do this as you sign this document you are saying "Okay I agree" If you don't agree or have questions GO TO AN ADMIN! We are not psychic and reguardless of what you may think, Sookie DOES NOT REALLY read minds. We are family here and if you all can't talk to us then this group WILL fail. We have so many fans, lets show them what we are made of. But I guarantee if they see more posting on originals than on TB chars....we lose fans. They lose interest. We don't want that.
~~IMPORTANT FOR ALL INDY/TB CHARACTERS!~~
**DATING/RELATIONSHIPS**
If you are a TB character who is in a relationship with someone on the show...you are in that relationship with that person on the show. Period. If there is no one driving that person, the admins are working to get those roles filled, and you can help by posting on your wall you are looking for your mate to come home. If you are a TB character who is single on the show, you MUST IB ALL admins to ask permission to get into a relationship with an indy person in the group, or another single TB character. If admins approve, you must have a good storyline of how and why they get together. If the admins do not approve you will be given reasons as to why it wasn't . BUT If we approve you to be in a relationship with someone, then the new season starts and your character becomes involved with another person, you must end it some way in TBD.
NO RELATIONSHIPS PERIOD OUTSIDE TBD for TB CHAR!!!
If you are indy--all relationships must be approved if you want to start a relationship with a TB character. If you are indy and become involved with another indy char it must be a char IN TBD! You cannot be in TBD as an original char and date a person from another TB group, or RP group or another Indy who does not belong with TBD. If they do not belong within our group, and wish to remain in another group, or independant with no group then you must A) Get their group admins to approve it as well as TBD admins. Have a thought out sl of how to merge the two, and B) if they wish to remain groupless then you must have it approved by admins and your partner MUST agree to posting on our forum when posting with you, and putting the links on fan pages so fans can read. ANY questions, concerns, or comments about this....SEE AN ADMIN NOW!
True Blood Devoted Original Character Application
(1) Please include a link to your RL profile to verify your age (we do not allow any member under 18 years of age due to adult content)
(2) What is your characters origin? (we do not accept ‘unknown’ even if your character itself doesn’t know them. Surely their creator should.)
(3) How does your character blend in with the true blood crew? ( we don’t just accept random vampires, weres, witches, fae or human. They should have a logical story that allows them to interact with other characters)
(4) Does your character have any dark past that connects them to another character of true blood? (cannot be “oh I was Bill’s lover. Or I’m Alcide’s long lost child or anything along those lines.)
(5) Is your character a loner? Or social? (not that theres anything wrong with being alone, but should you chose to be a loner no admin wants to hear complains about having no one to post with)
(6) Are you willing to spend time developing your characters past? (posting scenes about their past, giving them depth)
(7) Are you basing your character off the show? Books? Or a mixture of both? (remember there are elements that are unique to both scenarios)
As fun as you think it is we do not accept hybrids. You cannot be a vampire human hybrid, a vampire were, vampire fae, or any mixture of vampire, were, fae, demon, shifter or human. Logically these do not exist in true blood. The only logical hybrid would be a were turned vampire and be warned. Should you chose to be one of those you will be rejected by vampires AND were’s alike so you’ll be setting yourself up for a lot of alone time.
(8) What are your characters weaknesses? (remember that no one here is immortal or omnipotent)
(9) What true blood character do you most identify yourself with?
(10) If you could pick one character from true blood to be your sentimental companion who would it be and why? (and answers such as “ I understand his pain” or “He’s hot and I want to fuck him” are not acceptable)
Please know that despite our group being a mixture of books and show if you’re only joining to be mated to a particular character (in other words you’re looking for cheap cyber sex) that we will reject your application.
(11) Are you willing to make posts about 5 complete sentences or more? And willing to put in detail/description and dialogue? (we are not one liners here)
(12) Do you rp or have you ever rped in any true blood roleplaying group? Or any roleplaying group in general? If so please list the groups you’ve played in and your position in them. Does the original you intend to bring into TBD rp in any other group on FB?
All applications are reviewed by ALL admins before a decision is made
Please know that we do not accept godmodding characters. Should any of the admins feel your character is TOO powerful we will let you know.
For vampires:
Please also know that should you play a vampire you cannot make yourself older than 4000 years, you cannot be any original 1st generation descendant from Lilith (meaning you being Lilith’s direct progeny) and as an original character you cannot be part of the vampire authority or vampire royalty unless a proper storyline is made once you’re in the group.
Note: You CANNOT be Russel's progeny (he only make one vampire, Talbot and they're both dead now)
You CANNOT be Bill's progeny, Godric's, Eric's, Pam's, Tara's, Jessica's, or any other progeny of the authority. The only maker in the authority was Rosalyn so you CAN be progeny of hers.
Please also state if you are a mainstreamer or sanguinista. Remember that mainstreamers are tolerant of human and avoid draining them at all costs. Sanguinistas believe humans to be nothing but food and kill them without discretion.
Please keep the number of progeny’s you have (ghosted or played by characters) to a limit of 2 for now.Please know that you cannot change any original true blood character (such as luna, sam, sookie, or any human, were or shifter) into a vampire. You cannot kill them either.
For weres:
Please limit yourself to wolves and panthers . If you want to be a were tiger we will need additional reasoning as to why you are a were tiger and why Quinn may or may not know about your existence.Please be aware that you must either integrate yourself into a pack (for wolves under Alcide) or justify why you are living alone.
If you want to make yourself a packmaster know that to be a packmaster you MUST live outside of shreveport. Alcide is the current packmaster of the Shreveport pack. To our knowledge there are no other packs in Louisiana. Should you move to Louisiana you MUST report to Alcide and you will not remain a packmaster the moment you're there.
Also know there are no were hybrids, you can't be a half panther, half wolf. To be a were two of the same weres must mate, there by removing the hybrids. You CAN have a shifter for a parent (think of Emma, daughter of Luna and Marcus) but two shifers cannot make a were, and you cannot be an animal that one of your parents isn't. Meaning even with one shifter parent you can't be a were panther and have a werewolf dad, or anything like that.
For Fae:
Please do not tie yourself to Sookie’s family line (she has enough fae relatives already) Please remember that as fae you live outside the human world.Your powers include telepathy, healing, teleportation, electric fingers (ie blasting people with light) not to mention you’re unnaturally beautiful.Please state if you’re a water, sky or earth fairy.
Water fae are naturally aggressive and believe that fae should never interact with humans.
Sky fae are part of Sookie’s line and believe that mingling with humans is alright to an extent. They usually appear in the human world solely to procreate with humans. Telepathy is exclusive to sky fae.
Earth fae are the neutral group. Some are aggressive, some aren’t. Teleportation is exclusive to earth fae. Fae can only be killed by Iron and their blood is delicious to vampires. You CANNOT be a fairy and expect vampires to keep their cool around you.
Shifters:
Remember that you MUST run at the full moon. You can only shift into an animal you’ve seen. You have keener senses than a human but a were’s senses are still stronger than yours. There is no such thing as a ‘pack’ of shifters. You may have friends, but shifters mingle well with humans.Shifters and vampires DO NOT MIX.
If you want to have the ability to shift into another human(skinwalk) you MUST explain how you got that ability. The only way to gain it is to have killed a family member (luna killed her mother giving birth, Mickey (sam's brother) killed his parents, but notice that Sam cannot skinwalk)
Humans:
You can be a wiccan, brujo or medium if you want but remember that unless you can defend your case properly you do not possess a demon like Lafayette does.Vampires are not innately attracted to humans, they are mostly donors or food, not lovers.
Demons:
(book exclusive breed)Demons are a special breed. They are VERY rare. Should you decide to be a demon we will need an extensive background of yourself, your origins, powers and how you fit into the true blood world.
