What is an adoptable character?

An adoptable character is one of two things. It is either a character which has been written up specifically by one of our players for someone else to take on if they wish. Or, alternatively, it is a character who has been previously played by one of our players and then given up and put up for adoption. This latter is usually because the player either realised they were too busy for their character load, or because they had not clicked with their character, but still believed the concept was strong.

Either way, they are fully formed characters who are put out there for anyone to take on, though on the understanding that they may be changed in ways that do not conflict with continuity by their eventual player.
