ExaltedMUSH/AppPolicy

== Application Policies

• Each player is allowed to have up to three characters in total.
• No more than one Dragonblooded will be played by each player.
• No more than one "supernatural", i.e., one of the Players Guide races, excluding Dragon Kings. In the future we might allow ghosts or minor gods; they will also count as supernaturals.
• No more than one thaumaturge; also, while they occupy a mortal slot, thaumaturges will each require a very good backstory and concept before approving.
• Celestials will be restricted! firstly and most importantly, you cannot apply for a celestial, a storyteller will offer you to make one if the team thinks you are suitable. Secondly, only players who have played for some time and showed dedication and creativity will be granted.
• Celestials will be exempt from the skin-rule and can fit in each of the three slots.
• The ST team strongly suggests apping only a single character for the time being, as the grid is being enlarged and many new possibilities will soon introduce themselves. Of course, one can start a skin and drop it once the broad grid is finished, but if we come to believe you are using current skins as XP tanks for the next "real" skins, we will null that XP.
• Merits and Flaws are generally allowed, but will be inspected closely on application, and verified with the backstory.
• Background ratings of 4 or 5 will be carefully examined.
• Virtues of 1, 4 and 5 at character geneneration will be checked thoroughly.
• Attributes of 1 or 5 will be checked thoroughly.
• No more than two specialities may be taken at character generation, and no more than one dot in each.

== Frequently Asked Questions

Will the power rating or number of Manses be restricted? Will supernatural characters be allowed to own Manses?

The only manses approved on character generation will be manses outside the scope of the grid; Manses supplied by the Immaculate Order, the Houses, and the like. Individual manses will be gained IC. Manse ratings will probably be capped at 3 at character generation, or at 4 with excellent justifications.
