Many people have asked me why I won't allow SRI characters and it's always been a long list of reasons. So, for anyone truly interested in why, here it is...please...no one take offense to any of this.
I don't want characters like Silver. It's nothing against the player behind Silver, but I don't want people who'd played a character for years now and claim to be the almighty fighter, going around claiming lands and killing people with an Enigma attack. Again, no offense to Silver.
I want to reinforce creativity. This is also the reason for the no Anime or video game characters.
Be realistic. How, in SRI time, would you know, honestly, if your character would be alive 500 years from then? You can't know. And don't say you wouldn't put your character in harm's way, or you wouldn't ever let them die off. You could get pissed at the entire rp thing in SRI for some reason and decide to quit, then in a non-thinking way, just have your character killed off...and then you'd been playing them in SRIF? That makes no sense. Plus you can't tell the future. How do you know you won't lose an eye, or a limb? Or have a child or lose a child?
And also, this is in Aranova. Not Taltoua. So why would your character be in Aranova?
I hope these explain it enough.
