Character Rules

Written by Moss :



 

Hello Animation Source!

Mods have noticed all the problems going on with characters and what is accepted.

The first and probably one of the most important rules is that sparkle dogs/horses/lion ect... are not allowed.  And if you aren't sure what a sparkle character is, it is any character that has an unnatural color that you would not find on the regular animal. So for almost any animal, that includes the colors blue, green, red, purple, pink ect. To go along with that, unrealistic designs are allowed. Please do not give your character excessive jewlery, this does include bracelets, necklaces, collars, leg warmers ect...

Many characters are getting deactivated because either we ask you to clean the body/head image or you don't have enough bio.

When it comes to finding a head image, make sure it is of only the head. It must be colored in and drawn/rendered cleanly. Linearts are allowed and if you choose to use one, make sure that you credit it. That is very important. Same goes for the body picture. It has to be colored in cleanly, again, if you use a lineart, credit the artist. A word of advice, if your character contuines to get deactivated because we ask you to clean the body picture, I suggest you use a lineart There are a ton out there, especially of wolves. 

Now about the bio. What most mods look for are;

 

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Personality:
History:
Related to an official site character:
 
Those are our main focus, but users also include Parents, siblings, mate, pack/herd/pride and more. A great example of a good bio are these character here;
 
 
 
Always always try to make an effort in your bio, do not just rush through your characters, if you create a charcacter, it should be for a reason. Which does up the point to try to include your character in fan works. We are seeing to many characters in where the creator does nothing with them. 
 
Another important factor. Your first few characters MUST be related to an official Balto character. Our webmaster said when it comes to relation to an official site character, it is more of a ratio. So try to keep the majority of your characters with a relation to the an official characters that is part of the movie.
 
Another small thing that came to my attention from Blazetail, if you are on Spirit Source, do not create a parrot or a lion. Try to keep character's species one that you see in the movie. If you decide to create a character of an animal that doesn't appear in the movie, but can be found where the movie takes place, they MUST have a relation to an official movie character.
If you have any questions regarding characters, feel free to send a PM to the moderators or just any individual mod!
 
For Spirit Source: Pegasus' and unicorns are NOT allowed.

Now are these rules for all sources? Because ADGTHS has multicolored puppies in the first movie, and I'm pretty sure Rio Source goes without saying.
