    Uh, hi so

    Listen, I'm gonna be blunt. Even with the quick starting guide, I'm not sure where to start in Extended. I would like to roleplay in The Blackheart Rogues, the Colour Command, Hawkclan, or in the Sanguine Ruins, but I'm not sure where to start with them or what they're like. I also don't know what kind of character I want to play - other than I want him to start out young. He'd probably be a rather calculating character, maybe cold, maybe rather explosive and rude, I'm not really sure (and I'm thinking of giving him Sound wave and Light manipulation as powers, but to be developed later).

    I'm also not exactly certain of what he looks like - I've heard that extended can have virtually anything from dire wolves to water-cats (? I'm not sure what they're called) but I'm.. A little confused.

    It'd be great if I could adopt a character from some families to put into one of those groups, but again. Not really sure where to start with all of this or how to really look into joining..

    Anyone got any advice?

    You basically have it! So I would recommend going through the whole guide of the clan before joining it, I know a lot about hawkclan ( which is now called Volary Flights ) so I'll explain it to you with those examples, but I truthfully do suggest Volary Flights. So first of all, you can be any animal or mythical animal as long as its under a certain range as in bigness? I think it has to be smaller than a house or something like that? You can gather so much information from your character from deciding the personality, appearance and powers! From there just start with a joining thread and you will eventually just role-play out the personality of your character and decide on that!


    If you want to adopt a character here is the character adoptions board, just make sure its for an extended character not a traditional character! Also, if you want to join Volary Flights they are currently having a mass adoptions which is here! There are several other families you can adopt a character from though! Any other questions?

    I do have one more -

    is there any actual stated limitations on the powers..? It seems like that they're left quite open-ended in the shops and I worry that I might go overboard with the capability of certain abilities. Soundwaves itself can MULTIPLE applications.

    Like, deafening noise or causing large explosions of sound from their vocal cords

    And light manipulation could be used to create illusionary images by manipulating light photons

    Light manipulation wouldn't be able to be used to create images, but definitely can temporarily blind someone.


    Powers, as a general rule, can be used as extensively as you desire but remember they will cause physical/mental exertion of your character through nose bleeds, headaches, fatigue, dizzy spells, and could even cause physical damage if pushed over what your character can handle
