Administrative Notice
Several weeks ago, the admin had a conversation with a player who had changed their characters canonical background. Everything was resolved to mutual satisfaction and all was sunny and bright. Many kudos to the player for being a good sport and understanding why it was done. However, it has come to the admin attention that there will need to be an addition to the rules to establish and explain this standing.
This is a reminder to all players that you are supposed to be playing the character you applied for. You have an established canonical background of your character, plus or minus fiddling with the laws of time and space to allow for age/timeline variances. You are not allowed to change your canonical background. When you applied for your characters, we approved them as they were. Changes to their background outside canon, after the fact, changes your character into something which was not approved by the admin.
Example: Angelus, Spike, Dru, Buffy, Willow, Xander, Faith and Oz all come from the same base canon. The have, however, chosen to pull their individual characters from different times and places within that canon and this has resulted in some reshuffling as things which are true for some characters don't apply to others. However, all base canon has remained the same.
Changes in your character resulting from things that occur in the game are allowed, encouraged and occasionally arbitrarily inflicted. All of these are good. Change and growth and insane relationships are what we are all about. However, unless you're in a plot with the Doctor that involves going back and changing your character's past significantly, you may not alter your character's base canon. Once you do this, you are no longer running the character as it was submitted for enrollment and your character is no longer the one approved by the admin.
This game was set up for fan characters to attend school and watch them interact like crazy. Literally. Enrollment was in place to allow the admin to review and approve characters. If, after registration, you made a major change to your character's established canon, your character will be asked to have their canon revert to standard.
Thank you.
