Frequently Asked Questions[/color]
+ The ages of the Pevensies are WRONG! What's going on?
Well, for starters, this is set a year after they enter Narnia and so they're a year older. I know the ages and birthyears aren't compliant with the books, but in order to be able to use the Disney actors as Face Claims AND keep their ages realistic to the characters, you have to give us some leeway.
+ So what years WERE they born in, then?
Lucy's has been the least drastic - she's been moved back to 1931. Edmund has suddenly been born in 1928. Susan was born in 1926, and Peter was born in 1924 (which is about the closest we can get to Will's age and still keep Peter out of the draft).
+ So they still went to stay with Kirke in 1940?
Yep, unless my maths has gotten worse than I thought it had.
+ What's with these so-called Canon characters? Most of them weren't in the books or the films!
We want a balance of Narnians (which means animals and Dryads) and Humans. We were trying to keep the balance a little bit better. Admittedly, there's a lot more humans than originally intended, but they're fairly well spread out and as long as people take up some animals and other creatures, it should be ok.
+ You said you might consider an OC. What are the conditions?
That really depends on the OC. At the moment, we want specific characters (some villains, some good, some neutral) which is another reason for the canon list. You'd have to discuss it with the mods to find out.
+ Well, that was no help.
And that wasn't a question. You don't see me complaining.
+ Alright then, what about face and voice claims. I liked the description of one of the characters but I don't like the actor. Can I change it?
To be honest, this depends on the mod who created it. Contact us and we'll let you know.
+ What are these Database thingers and what do they do?
It's a reasonably easy way of keeping track of your changing relationship with various characters and a good place to plot in with individuals, so, for example, say the person playing Lucy wanted to make friends with Vulpes - Lucy can post in the database asking if they can RP, and they can identify their relationships and plan out future events. It keeps the individual plots away from the major ones, which would involve the whole board.
+ You have board wide plots?
Of course. I'm not that unorganised.
+ Can I be Aslan?
No.
+ Please?
I said no.
+ Aw... Okay, what if I want more than three characters?
You have to show you can deal with the three you have first. We'll be keeping an eye on it, so if you put in a request we'll tell you if you can or not.
