Original Character Creation

Original Characters

Policies

● We Are Legion does in fact allow Original Character creation, however we are only allowing the write up of Original Villains or Criminals, Legion Cadets, Science Police members and Civilians. For better understanding of the standings of Original Characters, please visit our Affiliation Guide

● Original Characters will only be accepted if they are an approved Alien Species. Please see our list of Alien Races to ensure your character follows this policy.

● Original Characters that are human must following these rules:

◦ If they are to be augmented in any way, they can only one one powerset. For example, they can be augmented to have super strength and durability, but they cannot also have pyrokinesis or telepathic powers.

◦ If they are to have a power suit or any device that externally generates their abilities, they are again limited to one powerset. You CAN have a staggered power set, for example a device that projects energy can project blasts or create shields, but your device cannot also turn invisible, shoot fire, or give you super strength.

● Powers and Abilities. Please be aware that as per the approved Alien Races list, the various lifeforms in the universe each possess a unique set of powers. You are not allowed to augment or modify these powers in any way in an attempt to make your character superior. You can say that your character is rather adept at using their abilities, but this can only be achieved if they were trained exceptionally in their powers. Original Characters will not be allowed to be naturally good at their abilities, their level of skill must be earned and portrayed in your write up in the history section of your application.

● Personality. In an effort to avoid Mary Sues and Gary Stus, we reserve the right to heavily scruntinize every part of your application most importantly your personality. We are looking for an in depth and a clear write up of a truly original character. That means they cannot be absolutely perfect in every way, they can't have an over exaggerated terrible life or have undergone a ridiculously horrible childhood. No body is perfect and we'll make sure to tell you if you've crossed the line.

● Canon Affiliations. Your Original Character cannot be related to canon characters in anyway. They also cannot be a descedent of a character from the past (i.e., Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman... etc). No one is allowed to be a brother or cousin of Cosmic Boy and they can't come from a long line of descendents of Bruce Wayne. If you think your affiliation with a canon character is a good idea, we will remain open to considering the feasibility of their relationship. As for romantic interests, you are allowed to pursue a romantic relationship with canon characters but only under the approval of the player and after your character has ACTUALLY interacted with the canon character. This cannot be predefined in your character's creation.

● Foresight. Do not create characters with the intent on making them potentially join the Legion of Super-Heroes in the future. Villains will remain bad and won't question their decision in life.

● Playby Images. All images used to portray your character can only be in comic book art format. That means no anime characters, no in game characters or anything that isn't from a comic book. A good resource for comic book images is Comicvine
