Time Stands Still is an AU (alternate universe) X-Men role-play. We are taking the character and some concepts from the comics, series, and first movie and enrolling them into plots that may or may not have happened in any of them.
Although this is an AU board, we would prefer to keep some semblance of the characters if someone is to take up a Canon. For example, Gambit is not a woman. Pyro is not Sabretooth's long lost brother. Jubilee does not have the ability to fly around. And so on. With histories, we'd prefer that you stick mostly to the Canon pasts or to at least use them as guidelines. We don't expect all the bios to be following the original histories exactly as this is an AU board and since the bios need to fit the time line. As a note: All canons are currently alive.
Original characters are welcomed as are Canons, though if the ratio becomes too obscene there may be limits places to try to get the Canon count up. That situation will be avoided to the best of our abilities. Another note about Originals; we will not be accepting too many long-losts. Mystique won't be having half a dozen abandoned children or random siblings knocking at her door. If you are making a character that is an Original and want them to be a relative of a Canon, ask the person who happens to be playing said Canon if there is one currently in control. If there is no one playing the Canon in question, it will be up to the Admins to decide.
Activity checks will be done every three months and those who fail to reply to such threads made, will have their characters archived if Original and put up for adoption if Canon.
With character creation, there's a few things you should know. For one, it will be required for you to make a separate account for each character that is made and for the display name to be of said character whether it is actual name or code-name. Until you get past the 50 post mark there is a limit of 4 characters per player. This is to prevent someone from picking up a whole load of characters at once and then not giving each one the attention they'll need to be expressed properly.
There will be places in this world that can not be accessed to just anyone without password clearance. If you can not access an area, there is probably a good reason for it whether it is due to plot situations or affiliation.
We are currently living out Plot I. As the different plots come about, the story in the side-table under "Welcome" will be changed and the completed plots noted down in a "History" thread that will be created.
Well, that's about it really. If you have questions, feel free to contact an Admin or to ask in the Out Of Character area. Our rules and information are subject to change so keep an eye out.
