Regulations as a PROFESSOR
A note: Professors who break these rules but have already been admitted the previous year are not expected to change their characters should they apply.
You must have a Discord. The roleplay will take place on Discord.
-One professor per person. It is possible for professors to also have an active student character, but their role as professor must be the priority.
-Professors admitted to Starswirl’s School for Gifted Unicorns are adult unicorns, or similarly magic capable pony species. Please refrain from characters with immortality or reality warping powers. If you are using a custom closed/open species, please give us a link in the application for further evaluation. Exceptions are to be made for those teaching Care of Magical Creatures- these professors can be of any species. Restriction on alicorns, deities, and reality warpers still apply. Lore-wise, winged professors teach at Gildoak, Magnus college, or the Stormbreak Institute.
-Please refrain from creating professors with immediate relation to canon. (Ex. daughter of Mistmane)
-Professors can be far more proficient in magic than students- that is why they’re teaching. Try not to make them a savant in every area, though- being an expert in a few select fields is acceptable. Being poor at magic is also acceptable, but they have to have a believable reason they were hired. (Ex. Atticus is bad at magic, but an expert in magical history and artifacts. Midnight Moon is a fraud, but is good at lying about his talents)
-No dimensional/time travel please. If you are insistent that this is a part of your OC, please refrain from bringing it into the roleplay. (Aka don't frequently mention time displacement)
-If there is a major character power or backstory point that isn’t included in your bio, it isn’t canon. Minor details and secrets are completely fine to be omitted, but you cannot suddenly reveal yourself to be a genius steampunk inventor, a princess, or a ninja halfway through the roleplay if there was no indication of it in your application. Do not secretly be a time traveler, alicorn, dark wizard, etc. If you enter the RP masquerading as a normal oc only to reveal rule breaking material later, that is not to be tolerated.
-Any dark secrets, hidden powers, dark magic, possession, or anything that would otherwise be impact to the story that you wish to keep hidden from the rest of the players should be told to us in private for approval. There is a section available on the form.
-Starswirl’s does not admit any obviously evil, obviously possessed, or obviously dark magic using professors. It doesn’t make very much sense from a lore standpoint.
-If the OC you planned to submit breaks these rules, make an AU version! (Ex. Professor Constelo was originally an alicorn, made unicorn for the roleplay)
-Try to keep pets reasonable. Teachers have more leeway with what they bring as a pet, especially the CMFC professor.
