For right now, we're not allowing any more requests for canons to be added to this list. We feel we have more than enough characters to choose from. But if you still have a question about what is and isn't allowed, feel free to PM an admin, since there are some canons that are allowed, but they aren't listed due to space. Thanks!
Keep in mind that this is an old entity (old= nothing after 1970) being recreated into something new.
Also keep in mind that we do accept original characters!We will be very selective, however. Be sure that your OC is well developed and that they make sense within this world (no original character fairies, in other words.)
