I also have an idea for Shi... Do you mind if I PM you about it? o.o

Wow never really thought I get THIS many replies! o.o Anyway some of you are now on the right track but I am not revealing anything until I come out with the announcement of the winners with their roles they wanted to audition as.
Hmm, I really do not take up ideals from others when it comes to character development and plot setting for, but since Shi was just recently created and since now that I am mostly like a one person on this team besides Aseilli, sure why not. :3 I will gladly hear the ideal you have.
Aaaah, I'd be so interested in jumping in~ with any character of any sort, that is. Backround, side, whatever. The plot, although actually somewhat typical and what I might categorise as almost-bland, in the right setting with the right people, could be portrayed brilliantly and become much more than words scrawled across a website page; the story to unfold in the written script of a video series, perhaps to bloom like a flower, but only with the right circumstances. It takes majour originality to gain interest in something simply upon writing the plot out, perhaps even research too. But that's what I thought of TLK, I suppose; 'Oh wow, it's not that brilliantly plotted. His father is killed by his evil uncle Scar and he runs away and comes back, boo-hoo'; as the plot was presented under the right circumstances, however, TLK came out to be one of my favourite Disney Movies.
But there is one majour problem with me even considering attempting to help a bit.
I will guarantee you this will be NO lion king like story. The story however did get SOME inspiration from a Lion movie based on a female lioness... I forgot the name of it but it was a really good movie. It aired in 2005 or 2003, The movie was not a cartoon movie but the lions were actually talking in the movie.
Anyway, Onto the main Concern question about why I do not want to allow or consider those 13 and under to not join:
I'm merely at the age of eleven, nevertheless, I must ask, why does the age of thirteen or older matter so much? Is it due to possibly explicit content, or is it that you fear anyone under this age isn't all that smart, or simply can't handle playing a role of this sort?
Of course even though I'm not allowed to just jump right in with even a backround character after auditioning, a reason behind this would be dearly appreciated!

Cecil, you took the exact words out of my mouth, however it is not due to to fear that you are not smart enough to understand what is going on in the series. It is the thought of simply one may or cannot handle what will be going on in this series... There really is not any explict content being involved in the series, if it was then I would defiantly put this series as more older audience if that was going to happen.
Considering the events that were happening to feral heart early last where Raz and the mods gotten threaten by parents because of there underage children was reading, viewing and participating in inappropriate content in the game. I do not wish for the history to repeat itself, if I tell the person who is under age to do something with that kind of nature, not that I am intending to put that kind of inappropriate content in the series anyway.
Second reason why I am not allowing underage people in is once again may the person may not be able to simply handle playing a certain role. The characters you see announced as of right now, some of them can be later off killed or WILL be killed later in the series as the story progresses, some may actually BETRAY one or another. I have witness where there would be underage players who gets all upset when things do not go their way, and make a total mess out of things.
There times like last time when I was trying make a video or a shorts, I asked for a couple players to help me... Of course one of them were indeed underage... That same underage person had put me onto a lot of stress whining when will I be done with the filming, questioning me why did they get this particular role? Not corporating at all and starting constant drama to the point where I just gotten fed up with the whole Idea and dropped it.
This not have happened once to me. This has happened to a lot of me and others who I know who make GMV, a series etc, and no it was not happening only on this game but other games that I play as well. Do not get me wrong though there are SOME underage players who can find to very patient and seems very mature for their age. Like you for example.
Before I had founded out that you were just eleven I was thinking that you were more seventeen or older. I can handle underage people like you, but like finding a special someone in your heart. Finding mature underage people like you again. Are hard to find. Now as I stated to another underage person, who complained about why are underage are being excluded out of this series, and gave then my reason about why they are not allowed to be in it. I have also said that I am thinking about considering underage can role as a background character... Or even let them have a role as main character, without probably a love interest or some sort.
But all of this is being debated between me and my friend if we should or not, but as of right now there is no confirmation if we are going allow underages to play in this series. After all Raz had said that this game would need your parents approval to play the game if you were not under the age of 13. This series was only to appeal for those who were age of 13 and older, not for those who are at the age of 12 and under.
Other then that, I am really sorry that it had came down to this, but hopefully I can give you a positive answer once I get some views from my friend on how she would think about letting mature underaged players participating in the series.
