Adding Family Members (Solved)
« on: October 09, 2012, 01:41:12 PM »
So I am not sure if anyone has already asked this, but I wanted to ask anyways to figure it out.

I have already made my sheet and have been approved. At first I wasn't sure that I wanted to include my character's parents and/or family members when I created my character so I didn't include them as separate characters that I could portray. Now that I have really thought about it, I'd like to add my character's parents. Because I have already been accepted as a single character, is it too late to include the parents? I'd really like to role play with the parents as well as my character.

Thanks guys : )

Do you mean adding her parents to her sheet, or creating their own accounts on the site?

Creating their own accounts on the site. At least her mother.

I guess I should have clarified that. I wasn't exactly sure how to word my question. : D I already have them mentioned on her sheet.

It's completely fine to create accounts from Non-Played Characters, however making her mother yourself is sort of redundant, since if you were to have a thread with her, you would be threading with yourself, which defeats the purpose. If you really want her to be created, find someone who is willing to play her. Once you've done that, you'll need to get the okay from the administration to have that person adopt your character before you should start to collaborate with the other player about her sheet. That player will then need to create her character sheet and submit it before you can play.

I hope that helps!

Thank you! Also! I have another question!

If I choose not to create the mother as a new account with someone else, am I allowed to add her in my threads and create dialogue for her?

For example:

Imogen walked into her parents' house for the first time in a long while. Spotting her mother busy in the kitchen, she quickly approached her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hi mum!"

Her mother turned around and almost dropped the spoon she was stirring with at the sight of her daughter. "Imogen! What a surprise!" She grabbed Imogen into a tight hug and was reluctant to let go.

I have personally had a number of posts where Radoslav's sister has dialogue and actions, so I know that is perfectly acceptable. Keep in mind however that she is an NPC in this case and that you are writing in Imogen's point of view. I would also suggest keeping the NPC interaction to a minimum. I only have his sister in threads where it would be logical - i.e. the family house during Christmas. Any other time she's just assumed to be there and their relationship takes place without being mentioned.
