QUICK QUESTIONS:

What is the difference between AU and OU?
An OU (Original Universe) character is strictly canon without any alterations. An AU (Alternate Universe) character comes from a player-created alternate reality.

What are the stipulations for applying for characters?

• You cannot play both the AU and OU versions of any one character.


• There can only be one AU version of any given character.


• All AUs will be judged on an individual basis. They can be rejected for subject matter and feasibility. An AU character must still have the personality of their OU counterparts and be recognizable as such.

Why does the OU app only ask for a link to history?
OU characters do NOT require a player-created history section. You are free to link to a suitable overview of your canon, i.e. Wikipedia.

What about the histories for AU characters?
If your history is a CANON AU (like Marvel Ultimates), a link will also suffice.

Do I have to complete a full application for other characters if I'm already in the game?
Every new player must submit a full, complete app for their first character. Subsequent applications after that will ONLY consist of a 3rd person RP sample and how their AU differs from canon, if they are an AU character.

What goes into strengths and weaknesses? Eye lasers?
The strengths and weaknesses sections are for listing physical AND mental strengths and weaknesses. Please give us your characters' powers (if any). These sections should be at least 25-50 words each.

Marvel is one of the few universes that has a plethora of AUs. But, in their essence, they are alternate universes rotating around one main reality. 616 is main canon and the large amount of people who will apply will be from that main line. Anyone they would interact with would be considered alternate universe to them. We can't label Bruce as OU because then things get sticky---he isn't the OU. Hence, he and any other Ultimates character will be slapped with an AU to their name.

If we allowed player created AUs to have their own slot, this would give the Marvel U---and any other fandom with built-in AUs---an unfair advantage. There could feasibly be three of most Marvel characters, but a fandom that has no canon AUs would be limited to just two. To keep things fair, we decided to lump the two AU classifications together. Yes, this is a little annoying because sometimes people will app a canon AU before you have the chance to unleash your super awesome AU idea onto the internet, but RP is, as ever, first come first serve.

Aaaah, okay. Organizing it that way to level the playing field for other fandoms and not crowd too many of the same person in makes total sense.

Thanks muchly for the clarification. I am fully un-confuzzled now. <3

(And K sorry I missed you on aim, I'm pretty sure I fell asleep in front of my computer mid-tag last night and probably left stuff running unchecked. ^^; )
