Is Astaria City, Oregon a real place?[break]
Astaria City is entirely original and the creation of the staff. There is a city in Oregon with a similar name but any actual resemblance to a real city is coincidental.[break][break]
Do I need to create an OOC account?[break]
Nope! OOC accounts are actually our Staff Accounts and are for staff members only.[break][break]
Is [specific superhuman ability] allowed?[break]
While we do have some abilities that we are specifically strict toward, there are not many that are outright banned. What helps the staff decide whether or not to allow a specific ability is how it is written in a character's application and whether or not the weaknesses feel as if they balance the ability out. Your best bet is to create a character application and the staff will then give you feedback on the ability or abilities listed in it.[break][break]
What is a face claim?[break]
A face claim is an actor, actress, model, or other celebrity that you're "fan-casting" to represent your character. Basically, pretend Rise For All is a live-action movie or TV series and you have an infinite budget to hire whoever you want to play your character. Pick someone out, and that's your face claim! It helps other players have a better sense of what your character looks like.[break][break]
Are there any staff positions open?[break]
If you have to ask, unfortunately the answer is probably no. If you'd like to be a mod and help out the site, be active and helpful, and pay attention. When we feel like we need more staff to help run the site, we'll open things up for mod applications.[break][break]
Can multiple characters have the same ability or abilities?[break]
How many Spider-People are in the Marvel universe? How many Speedsters run around in the DC universe? If you answered "A LOT," you're correct! We don't want to restrict you just because someone else has a character that has a power that's like the one you wanted. You're going to put your own spin on how your character uses it. If you really want your character to be the first to have a specific power, check the Power Database for what powers are already on the site. However, just because a power is listed in the Database doesn't mean you can't still use it![break][break]
Why is the site PG-13 and why is sexual content not allowed?[break]
Sorry, but explicit sexual content violates Proboards' terms of service, and could get the site shut down. We do allow higher levels of violence, language, and other content than the MPAA would allow in a PG-13 movie, but please try and tag the beginning of those type of posts with a warning and speak to the people you're threading with before you do, because everyone has different comfort levels with those things.[break][break]
Can a section in the character application be left blank?[break]
You can, but it will not be considered for acceptance and you will not be allowed to post in-character until it's completed. We ask for a little more detail in the application to make it easier for you to be able to find partners to thread with! People are more likely to RP with a character they know something about, even if their character doesn't know anything about them. If you're really stumped, try asking in the Cbox or the Discord! There's usually lots of really helpful people around who would be more than happy to help you bring your new character into existence![break][break]
What is a canon character?[break]
Canon characters are important NPCs that are run by the staff. At a later point, they may become available to be claimed, applied for, and played by a player, but right now the staff has plans for them, and they're instrumental in our current plans for upcoming plots and arcs.[break][break]
What is a background character?[break]
These are NPCs that you or another player write that are important to you and your stories that you're writing, but don't necessarily warrant a full application. They get face claims too, but actual player characters get priority. That means if you reserve a face claim for your background character, and someone wants to use that face claim for their player character, you'll have to pick a new face claim for your background character.[break][break]
Are alien/extraterrestrial characters allowed?[break]
As of this moment, we do not. The staff may decide to allow such characters eventually - if we do, there will be an announcement about it. Until then anything alien/extraterrestrial is not allowed, including anything associated with them, including technology and background characters.[break][break]
Are non-human characters that aren't aliens/extraterrestrials allowed?[break]
As of this moment, we take non-human characters (not counting aliens or extraterrestrials) on a case by case basis. The staff reserve the right to refuse any non-human character if we do not believe that the species fits well into the site's setting, or if we feel there is already too many in our setting. Additionally, these types of characters are only allowed for trusted players and/or staff members, be they NPC, background, or otherwise. If you would like to plot with such a character and we have let you know there's already too many, we greatly encourage you to seek out the players of the current characters like that and propose possible ideas to see if they are interested at all.[break][break]
Are magical abilities allowed?[break]
As of this moment, we do not as we have not established magic into the site's setting. If you would like "magic-like" abilities, you may discuss it with a member of staff to work out the details to make sure what you are creating is not magic. The staff may decide to allow such characters eventually - if we do, there will be an announcement about it. Until then magic abilities are not allowed. If you apply for a character with magic, the staff will kindly ask you to redefine your character's ability so it is not defined specifically as magic.[break][break]
Can I make my character immortal/semi-immortal/have a really long lifespan?[break]
At this time, we are not allowing any further characters that have a supernaturally long lifespan. These kind of characters tend to be extremely powerful just by nature of the fact that they can live for so long, and often live through trauma that would normally kill others. As such we have decided to limit these sorts of characters to the ones that are on the site currently. Should this policy change, there will be an announcement.[break][break]
What are the alignments on the forum?[break]
These help describe where your character falls in the overall layout of Astaria City and Rise for All in general, regardless of whether they have powers or not. Here's some descriptions of what each alignment means.[break][break]
I'm worried about my character getting hurt and not being able to heal up fast enough without some sort of healing power. Is there a way to get around this?[break]
Yes! In the Haven district of Astaria, there is an underground clinic known as The Factory, where Donny Richards treats any and all comers, no questions asked. With his powers, he can get your character back on their feet in record time and ready to take to the streets again, to dispense either their justice or chaos![break][break]
Do you have a Discord?[break]
We do indeed have a Discord which you can find the invite link to here. Majority of the chatting between members of the site happens in the Discord server however you are not required to join or use it.

These help describe where your character falls in the overall layout of Astaria City and Rise for All in general, regardless of whether they have powers or not. Here's some descriptions of what each alignment means.[break][break]
Hero: Your character suits up, be it with a mask or not, and goes out to save the day. They fight for truth, justice, and strive to protect people.[break][break][break][break]
Villain: Directly opposite of the Hero alignment, if your character is a villain, they are out for themselves and strive to cause chaos, conquer the world, etc. etc. They're the bad guys.[break][break]
Neutral: If you character doesn't quit fall in either the black or the white categories of Hero or Villain, and they still go out on the streets to make a difference, one way or another, they fall into the Neutral category. This includes your anti-heroes.[break][break]
Civilian: Some people don't want to fight crime or cause trouble. Some people want to just live a normal life. Powers or not, some people just aren't cut out to put on a costume and and go out and hit the streets. If your character is trying just to hold down a job, bay the bills, and just make it from day to day, then they fall into the Civilian category.
