Regulations as a STUDENT
A note: Students who break these rules but have already been admitted the previous year are still allowed to attend via grandfather clause.
You must have a DISCORD. The roleplay will take place on DISCORD.
-One student per person. Additional characters must be negotiated, and few exceptions will be made save for in cases of staff.
-Students admitted to Starswirl’s School for Gifted Unicorns are unicorns of at least 18 years of age, or similarly magic capable pony species. If you are using a custom closed/open species, please give us a link in the application for further evaluation.
-No alicorns allowed, god tiered or reality warping characters, nor winged students. Lore-wise, winged students attend Gildoak, Magnus college, or the Stormbreak Institute.
-Please refrain from creating students with immediate relation to canon. (Ex. daughter of Mistmane)
-Restrain your powers and magical abilities! You may be particularly skilled, but students are not masters of their craft. They are here to learn, there is no point in attending a school if you are already an accomplished mage.
-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 dont 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 impactful to the story that you wish to keep hidden from the rest of the players should be PM’d to the school account privately for approval.
-Starswirl’s does not admit any obviously evil, obviously possessed, or obviously dark magic using students. It doesn’t make very much sense from a lore standpoint.
-Within the universe of Starswirl’s, immortality is uncommon and difficult to obtain for the average pony. We will be picky about the circumstances should you want to implement it.
-If the OC you planned to submit breaks these rules, make an AU version! (Example: Professor Constelo was originally an alicorn, made unicorn for the roleplay)
-Pets are small, nonsapient (not pony level intelligence) creatures with no excessive magical abilities. New students are limited to one pet, though its negotiable in cases of incredibly small pets (a number of butterflies, hamsters, etc). Returning students may keep whatever pets they obtained over the previous semester.
