Question for mods

[doc-venkman.livejournal.com]

What's the policy on children of characters in the bar, and being able to bring them in?

One's a canonically character who is currently Millicanoned to be a toddler now.

Another's going to be Millicanoned when they're born.

Can the parent bring them in? Or does the child need to be seperately approved as an individual character?

Also, what's the policy on spouses of pups if they're from the same canon, but haven't been to Milliways yet. Can they be brought in, or alo require seperate character approval?

Wondering for possible future plots, thanks for your time.

Not a mod, but my character brings in his (canonical) young daughter as an NPC from time to time, and nobody's ever told me not to.

I think that solution to the situation seems reasonable enough.

Children are more likely to be allowed without seperate apps, at the very least. Adults you'd need a seperate application, even for a spouse. Godding an unapped spouse in OOMs is okay, I think. You'd need to point it out if/when someone apps the character at a later date if you're not going for alternate timelines.

Ok, thanks, wanted to double check. I did mention Dana in my Milliwanted post, so maybe I'll get something there. But at least, Peter can be on babysitting duty in the bar.

I don't know if you've done this already, but you might want to drop this question to them in email. They're running on different time zones and the like, and that'll be a sure way to make sure they see this before it gets buried under today's game play.

Children are the only exception to the no-OC rule. See: Millie and Wade, Seth, Joshua, and Anthony. Once they are old enough to run around freely, they need their own journal. So, the Milli-baby one can be apped once he/she's old enough to merit a journal.

The canon one must be applied-for as she grows; since Liam brings Megan in, in his journal, it's permissable to just have her tag along in Peter's journal. However, as she gets bigger, it would be smart to either play her separately yourself, or get someont to play her (more fun).

Is that clear?

Ok, thxs. Yeah, the older canon one, Oscar's about 3 now, so he can walk, but not good to run around on his own yet. I'll see about getting an app set up for him soon, or ask someone to play him.

And got some time before the Milli-baby, comes along. (Since there's going to be some DOOM involved around the time of her birth.) Will app her when she gets much older, or let someone do so if interested.

Thanks for clearing this up.

Anytime.

You don't need to app the toddler at first if you just kind of wanna have him tag along a little with Peter. He's still small enough. But I'd app him within 6 months or so.

This is rather good to know. I've been meaning to email and ask, but we're so far from this little planned bit of millicanon that it seemed like it could wait.

How old is old enough to need their own journal?

Man, I really dislike the idea of naming a specific age. Just use your common sense. Toddler or older. And if it's a canon-kid, you might just give it its own journal from the start.
