Common Questions
- If I register an account do I have to put in my application right away or can I wait?
No, you can put in your application whenever you are ready to begin Role Playing, take your time and feel free to get settled in and explore the site!- Does my username have to be the character I create a profile for?
No, your username can be anything you'd like but generally most people do make the username the first name of the original character to make tagging that character in posts a lot easier but it is NOT required. (You'll find we are pretty laid back here at Geminio and there are not many rules, we try not to be constrictive and give the writer a lot of freedom.) For example, Admin Rachael speaking, my first OC, Mackenna Radley, is under the username 'RachaelEwe' the others I have all listed as their first name, for example, Duane Davis is listed under 'Duane'.
- Can I make my character a different nationality like instead of British can he/she be French but due to circumstances moved to Britain?
Yes, your character can be any nationality but cannot be a transfer student as their is no information anywhere that says Hogwarts accepts transfer students from different schools. So they can be french, having moved from France to England and attended Hogwarts.- I am a girl but most of the characters I have are male is that alright?
Yes, Admin Rachael speaking and most of my characters are male as well. Bonus: You also get 70 house points awarded for creating a male character as those are typically most in need!- Do I have to have a real life photo image of what my character looks like?
I don't really understand the celebrity claim...
No, you do NOT have to have a picture BUT it does make it a lot more realistic to see a picture of your character, to know what they look like. It's sort of how Daniel Radcliffe brought to us a solid face to Harry Potter, we now associate the image of the character of Harry Potter to him. The Celebrity Claim is basically you choose a celebrity that you think would, appearance wise, best suit your character and use pictures of said celeb in your character's profile picture, character profile, signature, etc. It just puts a face to your character, making he or she more solid and real. The Celebrity Claim list is a list of celebs having already been claimed as the faces of other characters on the site, so once they are claimed that's it, nobody else can claim that celebrity as their character's face unless that person deletes their account. The exception is for twins.I don't really understand the celebrity claim...
