Character Creation Rules

[Kreysthahl]

1. Although I am not enforcing this, I would prefer if everyone will register again with a new IC name before they make a post to create a character.
   
2. The maximum number of characters that you may have is infinite.  Just make sure that you don't have all Rider characters or all Candidate characters or that all of them are ranking characters.  You need to diversify.  However, if you are very skilled in Role-Playing, you may be given permission to create more characters of a certain type or rank.
   
3. Candidates will only be accepted if a) clutch has been laid in the hatching grounds or b) there has been a mating flight.
   
4. No HAD (Hear All Dragon) Candidates.
   
5. When the Hatching commences, the rider of the Queen or the clutching female dragon will decide what the Candidates gets in the way of dragon color, dragon size and dragon name. If you have a preference as to what you get, include it in your joining form and be very active in the RPG. You may not get what you want, but it will be taken into consideration.
   
6. You cannot be related to someone from the Pern books.
   
7. You cannot be someone from the Dragonriders of Pern books.
   
8. Please do not use common Earth names for your Character. However, if you do, you must provide why your character has that common Earth name.
   
9. As much as possible, have your character's name as a combination of your character's parents' names. For example, Lesla, whose name comes from Lesara and Larod. Or Terriel whose name comes from Tereson and Lyrriel.
