Ring Selection

Every ring chooses its bearer. Present your candidate to the Selection Board: a Lantern of your own making, or a canon of the DC Universe. The Board reads every file, marks what needs work, and tells the ring when to choose.

The selection

How the ring chooses

  1. 01FilePresent your candidate: an original character or a canon, and one picture of them.
  2. 02The Board readsThe Selection Board reviews the file. On an original character, it marks passages that need work.
  3. 03CorrectionsFix what the notes ask, answer them in their threads, and refile. Your file keeps its history.
  4. 04The ring choosesApproved, your character takes flight: open scenes need at least one chosen character (rule 3.1).

Two paths

Forge one, or claim one

Original character

A Lantern of your own making: name, age, race, powers, backstory and a picture.

  • Name, age and race
  • Powers & Abilities and a Backstory
  • Extra, if there is more to tell
  • The Board leaves notes right on the passages that need work

Canon character

A character from the DC Universe: name the canon, write a roleplay sample in their voice, add a picture.

  • A canon has one bearer: a chosen canon is taken until it is released
  • One canon application at a time
  • Another canon is earned: one week and three different scenes with the last one (rule 3.4)
  • A chosen canon stays at least two weeks (rule 3.3)
