Character Creation & Slots

Your character must have a completed drawn and written application to be accepted. Please, be sure to use our official templates, you can find above.

There are two ways to introduce a character:

1. Tryouts – Open to all, for kittens, apprentices, or adults.

2. Firefly Guides (FFG) – Member-exclusive slots that allow characters of any age (2+ moons) to join anytime.

Your first character slot is free, but additional slots must be purchased (up to six total).

A waiting period of 1 month and 3 weeks is required before bringing in a new character, this is in order to gurantee you are giving your character attention before introducing a new one. You can find how many character slots you've used, when your cooldown will end and much more on our Character Cooldowns page.

Character Requirements

Naming, design, and other guidelines can be found in the website’s tabs.

Characters must have a balanced personality (3 positive, 3 neutral, and 3 negative traits).

Histories should be semi-realistic, and should align with group events and history.

Character Transfers & Removals

If you no longer wish to play a character, you may:

Leave, kill them off, NPC them, or transfer them (NPCing/transfers depend on staff/player availability).

Transfer Rules:

Transfers require a ticket discussion with both players. And, depending on the situation, the staff has the right to refuse.

A character can only be transferred once and will leave if the new owner quits.

Characters 6+ moons old cannot be transferred.

The new owner must purchase a character slot, but doesn’t need to re-buy existing FFG slots, bans, etc.

Any new banned traits must be purchased by the new owner.

Changes to the character (design, personality, etc.) must be re-approved.

Until the transfer is officially approved, the character cannot be used in any form (art, writing, roleplay, etc.).

Bringing in an FFG Character

Open a ticket to start the process.

Once confirmed, you’ll be put on a Pending List (no limit).

You may start working on the application and acquiring needed items.

After staff approval, your character can officially join.
