Concerning FC characters and recasting. Starting now, any and all FC-type characters (ie: characters from the movies) that currently have players are NOT to be recast.
These are /NOT FCs/ on this MUCK (something I'm sure we made clear back when we allowed them to transfer over) and we will not have them treated special just because they come from the movies. Like our original characters, if the player idles out/can't play the character anymore, the character will be considered gone/dead.. just like what would happen if an original character's player was no longer around. This means if for some reason Kovu or Simba (for example) should idle out.. everyone will just have to ICly adapt and new IC heirs will be chosen. Just like how we deal with our original characters.
We feel this better promotes the blending of the FC-type characters and our original characters, which is what we wanted in the first place. Remember, Sunrise is NOT a Lion King themed MUCK.. we are a general African themed MUCK and our focus has always been our original characters and prides. Although we do not wish to see any of the FC characters players idle out, if it happens, the RP that comes from having to choose a new heir ICly or from mourning the loss of a cub in a litter can be fun and interesting. Not only that, but having to suddenly adjust ICly and OOCly to such a chance can lead the MUCK in a completely different direction to where it was headed (for example: had Lyraiki's player actually become Queen of Kivuli way back when.. we may not have had Cairo and Feleti ruling or Xian and Anubis and Ronan or the same drama with Mviko.. Sunrise would be a very different place).
This way, we can be certain that all our players are being treated fairly and equally and that RP has a chance to develop as it will, and is not limited by the fact that the FC characters are always there and always the same.
Characters from the movies that do not currently have players may be requested via @request as normal, and they are first-come, first-served. No applications, RP tests or staff approval needed.
Questions, comments, concerns, etc can be directed to the Wiz staff (Yllan, Subiani, Tilyn and Anubis).
