We wish to be mindful of some of the real-world issues that effect us as a community, especially since Crossover PCs may come from our modern-day Earth. While we encourage players to explore different identities through roleplay, we ask our players to be sensitive to the likelihood that playing a character with a racial identity other than your own might be problematic. In particular, we ask that White people not play characters that are People of Color. We already have this policy for casting NPC roles, and we now ask that PCs abide by it as well.
We all want to think we're being respectful with our interpretation of real-world cultures, but staff believes that the harm that this can cause our fellow participants is more important than our inspiration.
We will not be scrutinizing anyone's ancestry, or challenging racial identities when character histories are submitted. We simply ask that you be respectful and abide by this policy.
Thank you.
