Hermaphrodites

Postby Stormbringer on Sun Sep 28, 2014 9:33 pm

All approved herm characters:

1. Make a post in the new forum (General IC below New chars) - Herm character name / race / class

2. Either post your back story in that forum or send it for level five following the normal guidelines

Only post when your character has been approved as a herm. IE after you have a mail from me giving approval to play

Sorry to have to do this but I am seeing too many applications for Hermaphrodite characters. Futa is an anime fantasy and has no real place in a traditional medieval western fantasy world.

From December 1st no new dual-sex characters will be approved. From January 1st any dual-sex characters which are not listed here in the forums will be returned to single sex. From April 1st I may consider new herms only when they replace existing ones.

We currently have openings for new hermaphrodite (dual-gendered) characters. As these characters will be replacing inactive ones the number of openings are limited and once filled no more applications will be accepted.

If you are interested in making a hermaphrodite character, you must first be aware of some things:

  • Hermaphrodites are extremely rare and knowledge of them will be lacking, -ESPECIALLY- for remote regions, and will be quite literally one-of-a-kind for most areas of the world.
  • Due to being dual-gendered, hermaphrodites can only come from races that have two genders. So no fae, satyr, or nymph herms, for example. Created races such as Magi might have a more difficult time getting approved due to their created and not born nature.
  • A herm character is expected to be an outcast and/or have a troubled upbringing of some sort in their backstory. They are different, they are strange, they are abnormal. The extent of how they are treated can range from simply not being a 'normal' part of the group, to being outright exiles, violently shoved out of communities because of their nature. Any backstories that involve the herm being a 'glorified sex machine' or a worshipped idol where their herm status is seen as a positive trait will be tossed out.

If you still are interested, these are the rest of the rules below:
  • Herm characters must remain active: after 6+ months of inactivity your character may potentially lose their dual-gendered status to make room for another, after a year and a half inactivity your character will lose their herm status automatically. This is due to the extremely limited nature of these characters. If you are expecting an extended absence due to life or an absence has been caused by an emergency, try to let us know and we'll see if we can work something out.
  • DO NOT MAKE THE CHARACTER UNTIL AFTER YOU GET THEM APPROVED!
  • By extension of the rule above, this means that any and all herm characters must be created as a hermaphrodite from the very beginning. No changing a pre-existing character into a hermaphrodite through any means.
  • To get approval, write up the character's backstory in plain text and e-mail it to Stormbringer at Stormbringer(at)belariath.com. From there SB will review, critique, point out things to correct if necessary and either approve or deny the application.
  • Once you have approval from Stormbringer, no earlier, you will then be allowed to make the character, make certain to put hermaphrodite somewhere in the race description.
  • You will also be required to post the character's backstory in this subforum: viewforum.php?f=273 - with the title of the post being 'character name/race/<class>'

What about converting extant characters into a hermaphrodite via reset?

I'm afraid not, only brand-new characters can be herms, no changing pre-existing characters into one.
