GLORIOUS SINGLE INTERACTIVE/manual2
From Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki
In order to particpate in the GLORIOUS SINGLE INTERACTIVE, you need a character of some kind. Creating characters is fun and easy, but keep the following rules in mind.
Contents |
For your first character
- Your first character must be a real Homestar character.
- It must be a character from the canon Homestar Runner universe.
- The character must exist in one of the universes that is already available.
- Choose a character with a well-defined personality.
- This is not required, but is definitely recommended and will more likely get you passed.
- If you define a personality for a character on your own, put some thought into it!
- Most characters have appeared at least once in a canon cartoon, save ones like Homeschool. Stay within the confines of what we've already seen them do.
- You may not have more than one character at first.
- If trusted users like what they see in you, they may give you permission to use more characters later on.
Further Homestar-related characters
- You may not own a main present-day character
- Unless you are a Trusted User, you may not have a main character.
- Don't try to get a character in every alternate universe.
- Once we get lots of alternate universes, people will most likely not be able to keep up with all of them.
- This doesn't really apply until we get lots of alternate universes.
- Characters do not have to be variants of one another.
- The same user may own both The Cheat and 1-Up without any repreccusions, though they're not variants of one another.
- Likewise, do not try to claim variants as your own until you actually own them. For instance, if you have Strong Bad, don't assume Stinkoman is already yours.
- If a character does not have a variant, you can make one up and have it not be counted as a FC
- This might need clarifying.
Fake Character rules
- No Wiki Users.
- You cannot play as yourself.
- Your character cannot resemble or be related in any way to your own wiki user character.
- No more than two fake characters per user.
- This is to prevent an overload of fake characters that draw the story to themselves too much.
- Include a picture of your character.
- We don't care how much you suck at drawing. If you have to, ask someone else to make a picture for you.
- Your character's picture should not be a sprite.
- No dresser characters.
- Any characters made in Homestar Dresser, Strong Bad Dresser, etc. are simply clones of canon characters and are lame.
- No humanoid characters.
- Your character cannot be a human.
- Characters may also not look like humans; we don't care if they're a demon from the 18th sector; if it looks kind of like a human, it won't pass.
- Exceptions for this rule may occur occasionally. For instance, Limozeen.
- No relations to other characters.
- Your character cannot be related to a canon H*R character.
- Being friends with a Homestar Runner character or another user's character is not reccomended.
- Relationships will develop as stories progress.
- No attacks.
- Characters do not get to have superpower-like attacks with which to damage or injure another character.
- 20X6 characters are an exception to this rule.
- No backstories.
- We don't care about your character's past lives. Their story will form as the interactive progresses.
- Personality development is OK.
- Once your character has passed its tryout, feel free to develop your character's personality in any way you like.
Miscellany
- Trusted users can remove you from your character.
- If they don't like what they're seeing coming from your character, they may disallow you from using it.
- This may occur even if your character is following all of the rules.
- Rules are subject to change.
- The trusted users reserve the right to change the rules at any time they feel appropriate.
