Restricted and Banned Concepts

Restricted and Banned Themes and Concepts

While the staff here at Radiant Heart MUSH do our best to accommodate any and all concepts that fit within the theme, there are some concepts that are banned. Others are restricted and will have greater scrutiny applied to them during their application.

Restricted Concepts: Restricted concepts are ones that can still be applied for, but will have greater scrutiny placed against them and the players apping them:

• Characters with potentially abusable, powerful abilities. Sailor Pluto/Saturn, Homura Akemi, and Queen Beryl are examples of characters with potentially game breaking power and powers that can be abused if not handled properly.

• Themes and Magical girl types that skirt rating and theme, but still fall within Mahou-theme Territory, such as Revolutionary Girl Utena, Star Driver and Mai-HiME: Such themes may have to be modified slightly to be appable.

• Overtly Deconstructionist or ‘Parody’ Themes: If handled improperly, such themes can break theme, rating, and behavior guidelines. They are appable but will be more difficult to get in.

• All characters who are over the age of 17.

• Characters who are magically active prior to the rough point of their arriving in the of the game.

Banned Concepts: The following concepts can not be applied for at all. If you have further questions, ask staff.

• The huge, powerful god-like forces of Light and Darkness: The Queen of Light, Dark King, Blue, Queen Metallia, Alix Kubdel, and Wiseman are all examples of characters you may not apply for, but may be NPC’ed with prior permission, for example, as part of a tinyplot.

• Unintelligent Monsters/Youma/Creatures: PMMM’s Witches, Precure’s Zakenna and so on are not appable. This doesn’t include characters who push the mold, like the Zakenna Butlers from Futari Wa Precure.

• Specifically, you cannot app Kyubey and any other characters of his race. However, Puella Magi Origin Members can NPC him being around.

• Magical girl types and Themes whose core concept break rating and behavior guidelines.

• Characters who are a ‘mix’ of power sets from other origins. No ‘Sailor Mages’ or ‘Puella Cures’. Becoming temporarily or permanently corrupted by the Darkness isn’t the same thing as gaining another power set.

• Characters who can become or turn into normal animals or animal forms.

• Magical heroes who have been active for longer than existing canon veteran magical girls (Mami Tomoe, Sailor V, Togo Mimori etc. - a maximum of 2 years before game open)

• Original Characters grounded in mythology who do not follow the traditional magical girl pattern, but are also not part of a villainous group. Examples: Werewolves, Wizards, Demons and Angels. Your powers can be themed around these, but you cannot be a functional, non-henshin half demon, half angel, half yokai, ghost, etc.

• Original Characters that retroactively declare themselves to have been part of existing cc groups as members, or retroactively were present for prior events where there presence should have been noted (e.g. additional cures claiming to have been part of a team from the start rather than new arrivals)
