Introduction
On occasion the profiles for official pre-made characters may be added to the site, and these characters be made available for ‘adoption’ by extant members. As a rule these cats are intended to play key roles in FS’ plots, and exist as a means of circumventing the issues that may arise should players become inactive or leave the site whilst such cats are still required. In effect, these characters have been created to ensure that the roles to which they are attached will be fulfilled by one cat, and that events will not be held up should their adoptees become unavailable to continue playing them.
Ideally, pre-made cats will be adopted and played by one member through most of their time on the site, and complete their intended role in this members hands. Prior to their adoption, and in the event that their adoptee should fall inactive, they will be played by a member of staff until a new adoptee can take them under hand. Profiles will be kept up-to-date by staff, who will edit the pre-made cat’s details according to their in-roleplay development, regardless of who is playing them at the time.
Rules
1. As a rule, all members may apply to adopt a pre-made cat. Exceptions, should they arise, will be noted in the character’s profile.
2. Each member may play only one pre-made cat at any one time (with exception of staff members playing such cats prior to their adoption).
3. Members wishing to apply for a pre-made cat are to PM their reasons for wanting the cat, and a ≥200 word roleplay application using that cat, to the appropriate member of staff. Subject line should be ‘[Character name] adoption application’.
4. Pre-made cats will be ‘reclaimed’ and placed back up for adoption should their adopters fall inactive before such cats have completed their part in the roleplay. When this occurs, affected characters will be played by staff until they are re-adopted or their in-character role is completed.
5. Adopters of pre-made cats are expected to stay true to the information in their profiles, but are free to interpret these details as they wish. They are also welcome to suggest/request additions and changes to the pre-made cat’s official profile, and build/tear down relationships as they see fit (with reference to existing relationship notes).
6. In adopting a pre-made cat, members also take on the roles assigned to that cat, and are expected to fulfil them as and when they are revealed (note that said roles are usually relatively broad. For example: ‘Cat will betray its clan’ rather than ‘Cat will betray its clan by doing X in response to Y, then react in Z way when called out on their actions’).
