Hi guys. So, I was just wondering...
You know all those extra characters we have? Like in a case we get a few surviving victims, and maybe like in Flying High, there were other people on board who we grew to know? Yeah, those people.
What if we turn them into adoptables? As in, turn them into original cannons or something; which would mean once we have finished with the thread and we think one day there is a chance we could definitely run into this character or have them in a plot again, there would be someone to play him or her.
For example... Lorraine Simmons and Samuel Denison. (They're the ones that gave me the idea, by the way.) They're involved within the forensics plot, this much we know about them: they are students, and they thrive on criminology. After the thread, maybe we feel like sam and Lorraine could be part of another plot again, but this time, we want them to have their own personality. We could put them up for adoption and new members could pick one up if they don't feel like making their own character.
We could list them under the canon board, only in a different thread. Then if any other members wants to make a relative, say Matt's sister Tess, or maybe Jack's children. Krys and Jack could make a mini profile and let someone else play them.
Just a suggestion. I thought it would be nice if all those characters don't disappear right after a thread. |

I like it but do you really think anyone would play them?

I think some people would, you know, coz then when they sign up they can immediately find someone they had a history with and role-play. I know adoptables work on my site! Heck, everyone loves adoptable characters there, coz they have a realtion with some other member which can rp with them, so they won't feel new and lost. I support this too, I guess.

Okay. I've never been on a site with adoptables hence why I'm asking  I have a lot of adoptables I guess.. Tess, Oliver, The Robin Family.. |

Yeah, characters like that would get to interact with Krys and Matt, so the new members will find something to do. That's how adoptables work on Avalon, anyway.

Okay. I mean, I'm game for anything.
How would we go about making them.. uh.. adoptables. Like what do the people who created them have to do?

A mini profile, basically. Let's say I'm putting up um, Quin's boss for an adoptable, so I'd create a short summary looking like this: Name: Name of the character, if you want you may allow the person to choose.
Age: Again, you can fill this in or leave it for them to choose, and maybe give a preference of what age you would like the character to be.
Personality: Maybe a short one, two or three sentences to make it clear.
History: I don't recommend doing too much, maybe just to set the records straight, but if usually is better to let the newbie fill it out.
Other: Is there anything else you want the new member to know about your adoptable? That's the short summary, and if someone likes the looks of the person then they can pick it up. If there are any preferences you want, just add it into the 'other' spot. |

Well, I was half-way through answering it in when Quin posted, so I'm gonna make it easier for me to just tell you:
What Quin said.
That's the basic template, I guess. Just like that, simple, sweet and quick.

Oh okay! That's simple enough.
Where would we post these? How would we get people to take them?
I'm sorry. I'm an adoptables newb.

I see. XD
They're kinda like cannons, you know. We create an 'Adoptables' thread, and people can claim them.
We give them a time limit (eg. a week) to finish the app of the adoptable they chose, and otehr than that they should be good as gold!

Hm... Okay.
Well it's a good idea. I'll wait for Reid or Kara for the official okay though.

Pretty cool, actually! I think I'd adopt someone who isn't hooked on Tori. Maybe a female charrie. Either way, I like it!
