All of these are good points. I had wanted to stay away from the same person playing both versions since Eway already has that or had it last I checked. I do see where the AUs could end up being off base, and I had hoped that the AU rule of needing to still be relatable to the canon character might take care of that. I'm afraid OCs versus canon would make it worse.

The 'evil' term is difficult to explain except that the powers that be will punish them and the like if they catch them cutting out of line. When I get this second group of player characters sorted out, it'll make more sense. It's looking more like canon for both sides. Thanks for the help, anons!
