Returning from away? Want to get a character out of the archive? This is the place for you.
If you are inactive and making a new character: You will be set to active when you post the app for your new character. You do not need to post in this thread.
If you are inactive and restoring an old character: Please follow the instructions below, and you'll be set to active when your first character is restored.
If the character you are restoring already has a character sheet, simply post that you'd like the character restored, and include their full character name.
If your character only has an application and was never converted to a sheet, you may need to make some edits before it can be converted to a character sheet. Fill out the form below, and make sure you answer the following questions:
Do you need changes for character images? If your character has an image without credit, then you'll need to say yes to this. All character images need to be credited, as outlined in our site guidelines. For more info, see the the character rules.
Do you need to update your characters powers from powers/species abilities? Before mid-2018, abilities were split into powers and species abilities. Characters from this time period need to be converted to use our new power system. You do not have to nerf or change the powers, just reorganize them to fit the new system. See the 'power updates' spoiler below for more details.

New Power Divisions: Powers and Species Abilities have been rolled into a single category: Abilities! Regardless of the source of your abilities, they're divided into active abilities, passive abilities, and weaknesses. Active abilities are abilities like elemental manipulation, shapeshifting, etc - abilities your character chooses to use (even if they don't have control yet). Passive abilities are abilities like enhanced senses, normal auras, etc - abilities your character uses naturally, without making a choice to do so. Weaknesses are a drawback your character faces as a result of their abilities, something that makes them worse than a human. Things like a vampire not being able to go out in the sun, or a telepath who can't stand a crowd without breaking down.
Converting is just a matter of shuffling around your existing powers and species abilities into the new categories.
While not power related, you might also need to add in other fields, such as resources.
