You're all idiots except for me

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Question about apps, anons!

For the skeletal basics, would a character that has a well-defined personality and interactions with other characters but not really an arc or a solid backstory fall short of the linear timeline requirement? My character's canon takes place over the span of a few days and they're a major (but not THE main) character, so I'm worried that they won't meet the requirements even though they're not a minor character by any stretch of the imagination.

The wording on the app rubric makes it sound like only really minor no-name characters will fall short of the requirements (and I know you guys have had trouble with them in the past) but it seems like that's mostly from the perspective of longer canons? A character might be a major character in canons like movies with ensemble casts or single books but not have a ton of timeline to babble about. I guess the closes in-game analogy would be a character like Ariadne.

you'll be just fine, seriously. just highlight their interactions with canonmates and draw personality conclusions from them, you'll be solid.

that's what the quotes are for. if your character has five lines of dialogue, you're safe.
