What is a "plot character?" At SoS we have a strong site-wide plot. That doesn't mean that everyone is obligated to participate in the site plot-- we welcome individual plots and character development-- but it does mean that certain characters are centrally involved in the long-term site plot. In order to find members who are interested in playing characters with a more intensive time commitment and/or involvement in the central plot, we have listed some of the major plot characters below.
If I play a plot character does that mean I have no control over what happens to him/her? No! We support individual character development and collaborative plotting. As you can see, many of the characters below are blank slates. Some have certain details filled in, but all are open to your own interpretation and development. Certain key characters may have roles that are more demanding than others, so please note the estimated time commitment and degree of character freedom listed below. In general, plot characters will be more appealing to players who enjoy plotting, teamwork, and frequent posting. That being said, any and all characters can be involved in the central plot to the degree that they wish-- if you have an idea for a plot direction, please contact an admin and we are extremely open to working with you.
Will more plot characters become available in the future? Yes! As the site plot evolves, so do the characters involved in the site plot. New characters will be introduced and recruited from this page periodically, so please check back!
