this is where you'll find some of the more frequently asked questions about shadowland. please read through this and see if a question you'd like to ask a staff member is already on here. if not, ask them/request the question be added.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU SAY ANYTHING GOES AS FAR AS CHARACTERS?
funny you should ask! here on shadowland we literally allow any kind of human character you can think of. werewolf? go for it. vampires your thing? awesome, we won't hold you back. your characters can also have powers like telekinesis, immortality, fire control etc. if you can think of it, we'll probably allow it!


WHY WAS MY CHARACTER'S PROFILE DECLINED?
we're not picky, really we're not. but we do have our standards, and generally we'll explain why it was not accepted and you can always have that second chance at redemption ;D


I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF SHADOWLAND, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
well, i'm glad you asked! 'shadowland' is a large providence somewhere outside of new york, there's nothing but a large, ornate wall that separates it from the regular world of new york. it was created as a safe haven for the 'outcasts' of society to escape persecution and ridicule from the 'normals'.


OK...SO WHAT ERA IS IT?
Present, 2009.


THAT'S GREAT AND ALL, BUT WHY IS THERE NO SEASON?
because i don't want to tie you down with silly restrictions like that, and you are free to age your characters as you please (of course, if they're immortal, why would this bother you?)


WHAT'S UP WITH THESE 'STRAYS', 'IMPARTIALS' AND 'ROYALS'?
well, as i said in the introduction (which i hope you read), these factions are there to keep order within shadowland. please visit this thread for an in depth description of the factions.
