We are a literate, intermediate to advanced AU Transformers RPG Based off of the first season of TFP with dashes of other incarnations sprinkled here or there. Characters from any continuity are welcome however must be restyled to match the TFPrime universe.
Active, with ongoing plotlines, we are always willing to integrate new characters into storylines once incorporated into the setting.
Hello, I was wandering if one account could play more than one character? I know it can become difficult to manage more than one, but what about two characters. Such as an OC and a canon character?
Also, if you wish to play a canon character, do you have to submit an application just as one would for an OC? Probably a stupid question with an obvious answer, but it wasn't clear to me.
I am not-a-mod, but figure I can answer your questions.
One person can play more than one character, though we do have one account per character. So, I play KO, Jazz, Metroplex, and Epps, and each has an account.
We do have OCs, so they are fine for playing. If you're unsure if your playstyle will fit the RP (we really suggest reading through some of the older threads and reading the existing characters' bios to get a feel for that), then apping an OC first might be a good idea. However, we do have a lot of canon characters in need of players right now, so perhaps a mod can chime in on that.
You DO have to submit an application for every character, canon or OC. For a canon character, it allows you to give a bit more background for them, etc. than the canon show did (ie, to show that you've thought about this character and know how they'd act in situations other than what the show has shown). It also allows the mods to get a handle on your writing skills, what type of character you're interested in playing, and well...how good a handle you have on the character, really.
Friendly note of advice: crafting the application and the writing sample is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. It's not something that you should be able to bang out in an hour. We really suggest putting some thought into it: what character would fit best into the game? Is the character balanced (ie, not overpowered)? Is the character likely to have RPable and interesting interactions with other existing characters? Is your grammar and spelling correct? Have you run any suggested relationships with existing characters (ie, your character works under Starscream or is friends with Ratchet) through that character's player first? That sort of thing. The writing, the character-building, and the fitting into the world are all important. The mods don't accept everyone, and putting a lot of thought into the application really helps.
Hope this helps!

Yes, thank you. You've answered all my questions. :) And thank you for the advice. Yes, my spelling and grammar are mostly correct unless for mistakes and I have spell/grammar check on my computer. I'll consider the application process and character development seriously and take the time to do so. Thank you for the advice again. I greatly appreciate it. :)
Another question. I am a guest on this site and say I was interested in playing a canon character. Is it alright for me or am I even allowed to contact 'bots or 'cons close to that canon character?
Hi Aiden! I got your application this morning and will go through it later. You would be most welcome to apply for a canon character, and anyone in the adopted list as well if you want some ready-made connections with other characters. Many a player will adore you for adoption, in fact...
You'll only need to speak to other players if you would like to include their character(s) in a significant way in the history and need their consent/agreement/to do some brainstorming.
