Third characters and you.

Third character are here!
__________________________
But there are a few catches.
____________________________
Requirement's for third characters for anyone:
1.The character must be Zydon.

2. The character must be a Zydon, not a zydon turned to the human side. Make them a member of the Zydon army. Brownie points for making them have a real purpose and not just some soldier. Rare exceptions may be made, but only after there are more than enough antagonists.

3. Understand that once the plot ends this character will probably be left rather stripped and may even be killed if it makes sense. These characters aren't really made to be permanent. This bring me to the next part of this.

4. This character cannot be traded for another OC unless that OC is also Zydon. Switching you characters often can result in your third slot being suspended.

5. If you already have a Zydon character, you can make a free third character, but the Zydon must comply with all the other rules.

6. If your Zydon changes sides due to plot, this will be reviewed but you would be a bit hard pressed to find a reason that would be approved unless it was pre-approved by mods(notice the S)
____________________________________________
Permanent third characters.
____________________________________________

If you want a third character that is permanent you have some work to do, but it's a simple enough rule.

1. Complete a character arc that is at least three threads long.
To clarify, this isn't a 'my character got a new power' It should be a plot, involving an antagonist, probably a question of identity, something you may see in a comic. There are no exceptions. These threads must be completed. No complaining about others not being active and not replying. FINISH THE THREAD!!

2. Upon review by mods, you may be rewarded your slot. Don't half step it or you won't get your slot. Each thread should probably be around three pages long as a minimum.

BOOM PERMANENT SLOT GOTTEN. You can also still subject to a plot character, which means four, but your plot character would have to be a definite 'temporary' character and you would have to be very active.
________________________________________________

Have fun with your third characters. Muse out.

Update ~ When you think you have completed a story arc. Post a link to all three threads here and briefly explain or just say what the recurring theme is and then either myself or another mod will give you the green light for your third char.

Using those same threads i'd like to get the 3rd character slot too

By the powuuuuuhhh invested in me. I approve all these threads and their 3rd char slots.

A Liar's Alliance - Given his position as second in command, Pix announces that HIVE will be aligning with the Zydons. Pix ignores all criticism of the proposed plans, shrugging off warnings with the thought that he knows best.

Null In Void - Meeting up with a Zydon contingent, a radical religious sect controlled by Ekmed betrays HIVE and tries to kill them. Despite clear hostile intention, Pix stops Kris from striking the first blow, believing they can salvage diplomacy, in the process almost killing them all.

Change in management - After a vote puts Pix in charge of HIVE, the sprite questions his suitability for the role. He has seen his unwillingness to believe anyone but himself can be right at any given moment. An arrogance that has since risked the death of his teammates. To counteract this, Pix grants Gilda and Quinn power to overrule his more insane ideas, thus addressing the problem.

Legit and Approved.

Titans! Old old old threads...

Not What I Expected
A Team is Born
Unlikely Request For Help

whats the arc though?

Bow becoming a Titan (first two) and then her realization that she doesn't belong (last one). In all honesty, to complete the actual arc of her journey as a Titan, I would need to include Not A Titan but it's never been actually completed... Well... sort of.

thats fine. Approved by me.

Holy Crap I never posted here

(Not three pages but literally 2 posts short of it so yeah)
Blake visits Nina to ask about maybe being friends and to deal with her animal insticts which are slowly rising to the surface now that she isn't under the strict supervision of the guild.

Blake and Nina assist Gilda while she's sick, cementing their friendship in place while also giving Blake some time to develop her distaste toward germs :P

Approved! Third slot acquired!

Business Unusual. In this thread, William meets with Kristina Nigent, and their conversation showed him that, maybe he wasn't so much of a monster after all.

The Princess and the Runaway. This one is more of a distant, half-lost memory of William's, one that may surface in a dream. Still, it is a part of who he is, and how even in the past, he did what he could to help the innocent, a trait he overlooks because of his monstrous appearance as Colossus.

Refugee Camp. Finally, we have the refugee camp thread. Following a Russian attack, William has established a safe haven for civilians, even having his company directly shuttling people into the camp to protect them. At this point he has overcome his perception that he is a monster, registering as a hero of Jump City so that he can truly protect the people.

This arc is important in that it brings William to self-acceptance, something he rejected before, not realizing that it could help him to be a better hero.
