I actually have several questions, so I hope I'm not being a bother with this.
1. I've read over the Rules & FAQs and gone over both sets of applications quite thoroughly, but I'm still somewhat confused regarding original characters.
To use an OC here, should the character be COMPLETELY original, or is s/he meant to be a fan character (that is, an original character made for a fandom)? Re-reading the Rules & FAQ, I see that fandom OCs are not allowed. I'm assuming, then, that that means OCs are meant to be completely original?
2. I've been sort of glancing over the site, but I'm still not entirely sure that I understand how this works. My understanding is that the mods post a situation, the various players respond via comment to that situation, characters can interact with one another, and it all takes place within the House. If that's wrong in any way, please correct me. This site is infinitely more complicated than my previous experience with forum role-playing.
3. Could someone please explain the functions of the phones? How do they work?
4. Almost forgot; under "Triggers" listed for the character. Are those meant to be specific to that character, or to the user? Ie, if the user is bothered by spiders, but the character is not; or if the character is bothered by spiders, but the user is not.
I think that's everything, and thank you again for reading this.
