Character Guidelines

General Requirements

• We are a historically-based site, so no supernatural elements.
• All character must be at least 18-years-old.

Historical Requirements

We are fairly flexible with regard to how your character fits within the scope of history — We consider our game a historical AU. However, we do have two rules:

• Characters may not be an actual historical figure. They may, however, be related to them.
• Characters may not be a member of the British royal family. We allow foreign royals, however, which may be bought with points.

Face Requirements

• Face claims may be anyone whose face is deliberately part of their "public brand."
• Deceased face claims are allowed, provided the person has been deceased for a minimum of 10 years.
• Face claims may be used at any point in their career to reflect the age of the character.

Application Requirements

If you are submitting your first two applications, please scroll down for information.

To submit a new application to TGG after your first two, you need to meet the following requirements:

• Have at least 3000 points across your accounts - You earn points by writing on the site. The admin will remove the 3k from your accounts as is easiest unless you designate where the points should be removed from when you submit your app.
• All of your active characters must have either 10 in-character posts OR 2000 in-character words, whichever you prefer.
• Have all characters in good standing - Please see the Activity Guidelines for more details on what "good standing" entails. If one of your characters was archived not in good standing, the 6 month ban on applications as detailed on the Activity Guidelines applies.

First-Time Applicants

All new players are granted two free new character application tokens. You shouldn't need to worry about these being allocated to you, and when you apply for your first two characters, the mods will remove them accordingly. These free tokens do not expire, although your player account may be archived if you go an extended period without applying for anyone.

These first two characters do NOT need the requirements listed above to be met. However, after your first two characters, to apply for anyone additional, the requirements in the list above will have to be met for ALL characters, including the ones submitted via the new character tokens.

How to Fill Out an Application

We use a profile-based application, meaning the information you submit will be filled in via and shown on your character's profile. You may edit your character's profile here via your UCP. (There is a permanent link to your UCP at the top right of each page, if you click on your username to access the drop-down menu.) There are directions on the "Edit Profile" page for each field, and whether they are required for your application. We've tried to make sure the directions are clear, but if something isn't, please don't hesitate to hit up the Discord server #help-desk.

How to Submit a Completed Application

1. Ensure each required field on your character's profile is completed to the given standards.
2. Submit a new ticket via the #app-submission channel in our Discord server. Easy-peasy! A mod will reply with confirmation of receipt/claiming ASAP. Please do not inquire after your application unless it has been 5 full days since submission. We're super excited for your character, but ask for your patience!
