Being Other People: Character Expectations

Townies: All townies must have a visible means of support - either a business or a job. Townies are not allowed on school grounds unless it's for an event that is open to townies (they will be labelled as such). Businesses need to be opened in a post at least once a week. Employees need to regularly show up for their shifts.

Students: Students are required to enroll in and regularly attend 3 classes. Students must also be involved in either an extra-curricular activity (eg. a club) or have a part-time job.

Faculty: Teachers are required to teach at least one class per semester. Classes have to meet twice a week. You are expected to post these classes on time every week or hand it off to your TA in a timely fashion. You are also expected to come up with classes every week, maintain an attendance roll (use a 'Sign In' thread to make it easy) and give out grades based on the characters' work. Teaching does take a little bit more effort, but it's loads of fun if you engage with your students.

Characterization: Play the character you applied for. Don't add further mystical powers/amazing gadets afterwards without permission from the admins. Character development is great, provided you have a canonical base for the development (and this canonical base should be your own canon -- don't pull in a different fandom). In short terms? Don't turn your character into a Mary Sue or an Original Character of any kind. You're playing a character from a fandom. Go with that.
