Rundown:

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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

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!

honestly that still sounds like a wank magnet/not really fun?

Speaking as someone who's been itching to play villains doing bad things: If players can app characters to play on the evil side, why not just let them app villains instead of nebulous "AU characters"? I don't care whether or not AUs are allowed, I've been in games that did the "there can be one OU and one AU of each character" and it was fine, but splitting it up by OU = good and AU = bad seems silly.

The original idea had been for it to be a canon sort of world, and the setting was responsible for the AU versions and could have some control over the AU versions. The thought had been that any villain OU characters would be too headstrong to do someone else's dirty work or have their own agendas.

That said, I think we're going to end up doing away with the AU idea and go straight canon for characters. We're getting together this weekend to do some re-writes and see what works best.
