We are no longer accepting applications for female greenriders. The Pern in which we play is not quite as liberal yet as cannon Pern. Maybe someday, but not now. If you remember correctly, in the books, Mirrim was the first girl in known memory to impress anything but a gold, and I don't know that the book mentioned any girl after her Impressing anything but gold.
And fandom has created female blue/brown riders, and the administrators have decided that we have quite enough of them already. So no more female green, blue, or brown riders.
We are also going to have to ask that you stop creating so many female candidates. If you create them, you must know that they have a runner's chance in Fall of Impressing. Yes, it's fun to play the sultry-yet-innocent candidate of all the boys' dreams, but just know that your sultry-yet-innocent candidate will probably end up a sultry-yet-not-so-innocent-anymore creche nanny or cook. And seeing as no one has created a drudge yet, I'm going to go ahead and say that people think they're no fun to play. And you're probably right. So try to transform your future girl bios into boys. Remember, they can be homosexual! Someone has to Impress the greens, and as we are playing a more book-like Pern, homosexuality is a way of life for some in the Weyr.
If you want a female character, and you make them from one of the weyrholds, you better have a Fall of a good reason why they were Searched. And don't be surprised if the Bronzer or Bluerider doesn't Search your female because he thinks she'd be a good rider, but because he does think she'd be a good "ride."
Now this is not to say that you can't have any more female characters. You can! But you will need to make them from thw Lower Caverns--i.e., a cook, a server, a drudge, a nanny, or any other menial jobs you can think of. They can be fun too, and be as promiscuous as you please, or be total saints. They can be ugly as watch-whers, or intensely beautiful. Nice or a complete bitch. Anything you please, because there will be much less restriction here.
All we ask is that you be a bit more circumspect with your female characters and rememeber that they are better needed elsewhere.
