Inappable Characters

The following characters are currently inappable. If they become playable, an announcement will be made on the game's bboards. This list is not total; sometimes we forget to say that some distant, benevolent (or malevolent) god-queen who only shows up in the second-to-last episode for exposition is unplayable, but she probably is. When in doubt, ask!

General Restrictions

• Feature Characters from new series may become appable eight weeks after the final episode of the series airs, as long as the staff determines that the theme should be integrated at all. For the case of new series airing over the course of more than a year, exceptions may be considered after at least one year has passed since the first episode.
• You can't be from the future, unless you have a canonical way to the past. Original Themes are asked, for sanity's sake, to not involve time travel.
• Many teams (the Sailor Senshi, a given Pretty Cure canon, etc) are closed to original applications, but original teams within their settings are often encouraged.
• You can't app OCs with major, pre-set ties to FCs. Minor ties (eg, 'in the same class') are inevitable and fine.
• Original Characters should generally not not know all the secrets of their theme. Secret-privy Feature Characters usually have reasons to keep those secrets, and are expected to do so as appropriate.
• Trans characters naturally count as the gender with which they identify for the purpose of gendered rules in any theme. Just like everything else, what's in your heart matters more than anything else.

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

• Queen Metallia - Currently mostly sealed. Also a fine example of the class of villain that doesn't really have enough character to be more than an NPC, usually; we will consider exceptional applications of the fleshing-out variety, but generally the more elemental forces of evil aren't very playable.
• Sailor Pluto/Setsuna Meioh - She's guarding the gate of time.
• Sailor Chibi-Moon/Princess Small Lady Serenity/Black Lady/Chibi-Usa Tsukino - She's still in the 30th Century.
• Sailor Saturn/Mistress 9/Hotaru Tomoe - She's an Infinity 6th-grader, but sickly and lonely (and possessed) strictly in the background. (Let's face it, if she was made playable before Chibi-Usa, she'd have lots of friends in a heartbeat.)
• Original Makaiju Glam Rock Space Elves - Appable, but they must be subject to the "must forcibly drain energy or die" moral quandary that drives their role as antagonists. Space elves who show up already living off of the power of love may become appable after the Doom Tree arc has resolved.
• The Black Moon Family - They haven't made their move in the 30th Century yet.
• The Dead Moon Circus - The circus has yet to come to town.
• The Sailor Animamates - Galaxia and her crew are still out conquering the rest of the galaxy; Earth will be their final stop.
• Original Sailor Senshi

• No in-system OC Sailor Senshi. Frankly we've got enough canon examples to choose from there.
• You may app OC Sailor Senshi from outside of the Solar System as long as you can explain what they're doing on Earth. Are they fleeing danger on their planet? Does Earth have something they need? Were they reborn on Earth after the loss of their own planet? Earth is special, after all, but you need a reason to be here if you're from a planet Earth doesn't even know exists yet.
• You can app Sailor Earth! His name is Mamoru Chiba and his Senshi identity is Tuxedo Kamen. Yes, that role is taken.
• Tuxedo Kamen is the only canon male Senshi and we'd like to keep it that way for thematic purposes.
• OC Animamates will definitely be allowed... eventually.

Cardcaptor Sakura

• Eriol Hiiragizawa - Still in England along with Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon.

Fresh Pretty Cure!

• Mobius - Busy ruling Labyrinth, and soon, all the worlds!!
• Kaoru-chan - Better off as an NPC serving donuts than an idol singer astronaut secret service PC.
• Chiffon - Too young.
• Klein - Too busy.
• Northa - Too green. (She'll be playable when she arrives.)

Futari wa Pretty Cure

• The Dark King - About as primal a force of pure, elemental villainy as exists.
• The Queen of Light - Same problem, inverse reason. Not really a person...
• Hikari Kujou/Shiny Luminous - ...yet.
• Mepple and Mipple (and Porun) - Better off controlled by their partners, due to their being attached literally at the hip (-slung cell phone holster)

Heartcatch Pretty Cure

• Lord Dune - He's still on Planet Castle, far from Earth.
• Original Heartcatch Precure - The four from the show are the only four Heartcatch Precure, though entirely original Pretty Cure teams are very welcome.
• Mysterious Hot Guy - Too busy being mysterious. And hot.

Kaitou Saint Tail

• Ruby - Busy hedgehoging, which is now a verb, definitely.

Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne

• The Devil - NEWP.
• God - NEWWWWWWP.
• Finn Fish - Only with great discretion.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

• Jail Scaglietti and the Numbers - are in THE FUTURE.
• Subaru, Teana, Erio and Caro - are also in THE FUTURE.
• Because Earth is an Unadministered World of the TSAB and because of an understanding between the Bureau and the Magic Association, it is very unlikely for agents of the TSAB to be assigned to Earth to just 'be there.' Usually, they will be there for a specific reason (after a criminal or Lost Logia) or will be there in an unofficial capacity. In either case, remember that they have no actual authority on Earth. Midchildan mages unaffiliated with the TSAB but with an interest in Earth (such as Lost Logia; Yuuno Scrya provides a canon example) are an excellent alternative.

Mahou Sensei Negima!

• Eishun Konoe, Donnet McGuinness, Kurt Goedel, etc - FCs who aren't based out of Mahora in the comic are probably inappable for geography reasons. Anya Cocolova and Nekane Springfield might be considered, since they come to Japan in some versions of the series, but please talk to staff.
• Mundus Magicus Natives - Usually inappable due to not actually being able to leave Mundus Magicus. Generally, unless an FC is shown explicitly leaving Mundus Magicus without issue, or surviving a Rewrite, they're inappable on this point. OCs may be from Mundus Magicus the same as any other magical world, with the understanding that they must be one of the 'real' people, which are almost all from the human nation in Megalo Mesembria.
• Ala Rubra (including Nagi Springfield, Arika Anarchia Entheofusia, and Jack Rakan) - these characters violate our wish that characters whose powers and influence eat up all the air in a scene be restricted to cameo appearances. The explicit exception to the Ala Rubra rule is Takamichi T. Takahata, who is 'pretty cool' but not, like, bewilderingly so, and so appable.
• UQ Holder - UQ Holder, the rather different, Many Years Later sequel to Negima, doesn't have any of the special magical girl parts that make Negima so suitable for BF. Thus, other than any information it might shed on Negima events, it is not applicable to Battle Fantasia. It is also extremely new, and so even if something should happen to change this ruling, it will not be considered until August of 2014.

Magic Knight Rayearth

• Princess Emeraude - She's down, down, down in the dark dank dungeon...
• Original Magic Knights - There can be only three. Original magical, butt-kicking Cephirans, or other ordinary citizens of Tokyo who get drawn into the conflict and become extraordinary through alternate means, are greatly encouraged.

Mai-HiME

• Nagi Homura - Due to the high potential of his being a plot spoiler, Nagi is an NPC unless someone can convince us that they'll properly keep his secrets. If you want to hunt him down in his library lair (or have him taunt you from the treetops), just send a request to the staff!
• The Obsidian Prince - His identity has yet to be OOCly defined. You can certainly app someone who turns out to be the Prince in canon, but they may or may not wind up the Prince on Battle Fantasia.

Oto x Maho

• Konata Shirahime - On BF, she was one of Ala Rubra (see the Mahou Sensei Negima! entry) and is inappable for the same reasons.

Princess Tutu

• Drosselmeyer - He's dead. And an NPC. At the same time!
• The Raven - Currently trapped.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

• Kyubey and the Incubators - NPCs, the lot of them, due to their scope of power and knowledge.
• Yuma - Does not feature in this timeline. Someone who really wanted her would need to open a dialogue with Kyouko's player and the staff, but she's provisionally unplayable.
• Nagisa Momoe - Inappable. May or may not become appable post-Walpurgisnacht, subject to other decisions made around that time.

Revolutionary Girl Utena

• Dios - Yeah, no.

Shugo Chara!

• The Easter CEO - His true identity remains a mystery. (If you really want to play the CEO, we might be open to it, but it would require oaths sworn in blood to not be dropping hints.)

Smile! Pretty Cure

• Pierrot - Forever sealed away. Pay no attention to the Doom Clock!
• Royale Queen - A lovely statue, but not a great conversationalist.
• Pop - The Jack Rakan of Precure mascots. Too busy on missions in Marchenland to be around all the time as a PC.
• Original Smile Precure - This five girl band is full.

Suite Pretty Cure o/`

• Noise - Little more than headphones at this point.
• Crescendo Tone - In a box.
• Fairy Tones - Saving the day with teamwork -- as NPCs.
• Otokichi - Possibly appable with a blood oath to keep his secrets under wraps.
• Original Suite Precure - They’ve already got the girls to soar across the entire octave.
