"OC" means Original Character. You created this character. This is YOUR character. Played IC all the time.

"FC" means Fan Character. This is a character based heavily off one from the media. The player did not create this character and will be playing it according to how it acts/is in the media it was created to be in.

"FMC" means Fan Made Character. This means that the character is based off of media, but the character itself is not one of the real characters.

SIC or OC/OOC: The "Self-Insert Character" is the representation of a person in the forest through a character that is just like themselves and/or how they wish to be. The only things I could liken it to is a Fursona or an Avatar. They may have special stories or character traits, but it all boils down to the "OOC" part: These deer represent their players. On TEF, there are a few SIC deer. This means that these are the physical representations of their player in the forest.

"IC" means In Character. This means the character is disassociated with the player. They have their own thoughts, personality, and actions that do not represent the player. Please remember that if am IC character is mean to your deer it may not be because the player dislikes you, but the character may have a reason for his/her actions.

"OOC" means Out Of Character. This is context not related to any character. It's like IRL. (In Real Life).[/i]


When to assume OOC Activity for an OC unless specifically stated by the player:

• When you asked for a spellspam on the community site and they come to help
• When a deer is performing a bunch of unrelated actions in a row, as if testing out the actions bar
• If a deer is frozen in one action. This usually means technical difficulties
• Trolling is considered OOC, and therefore the PLAYER'S action and not their character's.

You should consider most other actions as IC unless stated otherwise.
