Things to keep in mind while creating a character.
The febris versipellis pandemic came to an official end in 2009 when no new cases showed up for a prolonged period. While the death toll was impressive, about 3% of all infected ended up dying, it is highly unlikely that your character lost their whole family due to the pandemic. Keep in mind that most of those who died were either very young, like infants, very old or were already very ill. Entire families and their puppies being wiped out are very unlikely.
Characters with mental problems and traumatic pasts will be under scrutiny and will only be accepted once we, the admins and mods, are certain that the player can handle the issues with dignity and grace and will not upset or trigger other members of our community. These issues are not 'cool gimmicks' to make your character 'awesome and interesting'. Keep this in mind while creating your character and if a mod or admin contacts you to make sure that you know what you're getting into, respond in a serious and mature manner. Being a brat or pitching a fit about being questioned will not endear you to us in the slightest.
Keep in mind that there are no such things as vampires in this game and that magic users are incredibly, incredibly rare. Vampire characters will not be accepted and magic users will only be accepted when the whole staff agrees.
All character must be original characters. There will be no Sherlock Holmes or Harry Potter or any of the sort. This is not a fandom game and, as such, not a home for fandom characters.
On the topic of play by/character representatives/etc, while it's not obligated, there is space for them. If you choose to use a PB, make sure that they haven't been used by someone else here at Febris. PBs can only be of real, actual people and not cartoon/anime/manga/etc characters.
