User blog:Perchan/Canon Characters: Who Can and Cannot be Used

Alright, now we've all agreed that we can use canon characters. However, it's usually recommended that you fanonize your character before using them in an RP. In addition, deceased characters (such as Zancrow) must have a credible reason for why they are alive. Also, as of note, you must never use an extremely powerful canon character as a way to show off your original character's skills, by effortlessly defeating them. We understand that some people cannot think of an original idea for a character; which is why we've allowed this.

However...
Before you start creating your own versions of canon characters, we've decided to point out what will break canon.

So, your original characters shouldn't have family ties to any canon characters, except if they're extremely minor. An example of this is having your character being Laxus' brother or sister, but you can have your character related to the wealthy Julienelle family.

Don't put magic on your canon character that doesn't make sense- like Gray having Flame God Slayer or Erza having Fairy Law.

If a character is sufficiently powerful, please don't remove weaknesses, like Makarov has shown several crippling weaknesses, such as his age. If you make a 'De-Aging Magic' and revert him back to his prime, then that's just ridiculous. Every character and magic needs a weakness.

Now, the biggest no-no is your character being in a relationship with a canon character. I mean, not only will shippers wish you a swift and painful death, but BAM! Instant Mary Sue. Not to mention, 99% of all users here would hate the character with a burning passion.

All instances of these four mistakes that are seen will be asked to be revised within three days, or it will be deleted.
