Some of the credit for the FAQ goes to Serene Snape at New Hogwards
The character I want, someone else has claimed. Can I use it too?
When it comes to canon characters, it's first come, first served. Some people who play the canon characters are also other original characters on the board and maybe only get on the canon account occasionally. We obviously can't have 5 Wolverines running around or 7 Jean Grey's, so if a character is claimed, they are off-limits and you'll have to either choose another, or create an original character.
If you really have your heart set on playing a certain canon and that character is claimed and inactive, please contact an Administrator. One of them will be able to find out if that character is available or not.
Can I be a Canon Character?
Possibly. Just go to the registration board and apply in the Canon character area. The Main Administrators will decide if your application has beed accepted.
Again, first time first saved.
Can I be the relative of a Canon Character?
Depends on what character. If a canon character is in place, we are not going to force posters to take on brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, sons, daughters, cousins, etc. It's up to the poster playing the canon character if they will have you as a relative, though an administrator can opt to let you, chances are, we'll follow their wishes.
How Do Power Levels Work?
For each post your power level will increase 5 points, so the more you participate the more your power level increases. Also Karma helps towards your power level too, if you receive good karma, your power level will increase by 2 points.
There will be missions in the future that can also increase the power level of the characters participating.
Can I switch houses?
The answer is very simple. No. Once you are sorted, you're character is in that particular house. You can always request to create an additional character, but a character you have already established cannot change houses
Why is my name still white?
Chances are, you haven't applied to be sorted yet... or an administrator who does sorting hasn't gotten online yet. If you haven't created a student character and then wouldn't need to be sorted, you need to request that your usergroup be changed. You can make a post in the thread here saying what your character is (teacher, Graduate), and an administrator will put you in the proper group
Why are there certain boards that contain passwords and how do I get them?
The boards with passwords have passwords for a reason. The people who can access those boards are a select few and that may or may not include you.
The Danger Room has a password because only those with power level over 500 can use it, so once you reach that level PM a main administrator and you will receive the password.
Cerebro has a password because only those with strong telepathic abilities can use cerebro. If you are a telepath and you have reached power level 1000 Pm a main administrator and you will receive your password
