Rules
General
Have RP common sense. Follow the site rules, use understandable spelling and grammar, don't godmod, etc.
Be respectful to everyone. Don't fight in the OOC. If you are having a dispute with someone, PM me and I will mediate.
The plot of this RP is discussed collaboratively, though the GM has greater responsibility to implement it due to having more control of the outside world. I will provide some ideas, but not all of them.
Play
Players are allowed to control minor NPCs. Leave major NPCs (listed in the info thread) to the GM. We can share control of Grimm, but the GM decides when they are defeated.
Decide which side wins a fight OOC, preferably before the fight begins. This lets you get wilder in your writing, because you're not constrained by trying to force a win! I don't see much player-vs-player combat happening in this RP, but if it comes up, be able to volunteer to take an L.
For the purpose of writing fights, assume aura is always "
passively coating the wielder in a protective force field" until it runs out; it's not something you have to activate.

Mini-CS
Pitch your character idea and your ideas for the plot! Each item on the app should be answered in a paragraph or less. Please post the completed version of the mini-CS only - do not post WIPs.
Your name If you go by anything other than your username.
RP ideas Things, NPCs, or plot points you hope to see in the RP. Can involve your character's canon parent(s). A good place to start is to say what you think would be an interesting challenge or plot point for the Fall Maiden arc.
Parent claim(s) What canon character(s) do you want to claim for your character? In brief, what did they do between the end of canon's storyline and the beginning of our current RP?
Character name Include the name's color allusion if it's not immediately apparent.
Character group Are they from the small school, or an outsider meeting others in pursuit of the Fall Maiden?
Character info A few sentences about who your character is and how they act, perhaps with a sprinkling of backstory. Combat info is nice too. One paragraph maximum.

Full CS
Arrange in whatever way you see fit, as long as the groups of information remain the same (items under the same tab should stay together and be sectioned off). Formatting/code is optional. Anything in parentheses is my notes to you and should not be included in the final app.
