Players may have up to four superhero or supervillain alts. Of these, no more than one may be Tier 1, and at least one of the first three must be a Tier 3 or 4 character. This will allow the application for a fourth 'bonus' slot. | Players may have up to four superhero or supervillain alts.

Characters which should, thematically, interact a great deal cannot be alts for the same person. In general staff will be lenient about this, but in no case will the same player have, for instance: Batman and Robin, Aquaman and Black Manta, Hal Jordan and Sinestro, etc. | Characters which should, thematically, interact a great deal cannot be alts for the same person.

There is no numeric limit to Tier 4 support characters, but players are encouraged to be sensible about both alt interaction and RP availability. Waitlist and idletime concerns (see below) will be amplified when directed towards players with more than three alts. | There is no numeric limit to Tier 4 support characters, but players are encouraged to be sensible about both alt interaction and RP availability.

Subsequent players of an FC are encouraged to start their play where the previous player left off. It's helpful to read the previous player's logs, and speak with connected characters. If you have any particular concerns about the previous player(s), please talk to Staff. We understand that some elements can be difficult to pick up and play, like romantic entanglements and close friendships. While a 'soft reset' is certainly possible, we encourage players to consider compromises that move the story -forward-, rather than backwards. For example, an amicable (or not!) breakup, argument, or absence of some sort leading into the present day. | Subsequent players of an FC are encouraged to start their play where the previous player left off.
