The Item Prototype Approval Policy concerns the methods and requirements members of the Dark Brotherhood may use for submitting Noncanon or legend items for Regent approval and addition to Member Possessions or Unit Possessions.
Please note that existing Canon or Legends items can only be suggested and members are not to completely draft an item for submission. Refer to the "Item Suggestion Box below for these items.
Definition
Example of member-created item wiki
It has been the Regent's plan for a long while to allow members the chance to submit their own ideas and personally created items (from this point on referred to as 'item(s)') to be included in the Possessions stores, be they member-specific or unit-specific. This policy exists to allow for that. The lower paragraphs detail the requirements, rules, and ways to send these ideas to the Regent for approval.
Custom Item Submission
Requirements
Any proposed new item(s) a member wishes to submit to the Regent that isn’t from Star Wars Canon or Legends must contain basic information that the Regent staff can use to verify and research the feasibility of the item(s) in question before approval. This process is non-negotiable and required in every submission and every item.
The proposal must contain information relevant to the item(s) the member wants. You will find a list of required information here:
- Item name: Self-explanatory. Item names should be in line with Star Wars lore.
- Item category: Armor, pistol, rifle, starship, creature, etc. Leave blank if you are unsure, the Regent Staff will make their own decision.
- Proposed shop: Which shop would you like to see it in? This is particularly important when suggesting Unit or Member specific possessions.
- Proposed rarity: Suggest the rarity of the item. The Regent may change it for balancing reasons. Item Cost is based on the Rarity and formula designed by the Regent.
- Item description: Self-explanatory. Please make your description as detailed as possible. This will eliminate questions and help your item in the approval process.
- Item image: All items must have an image. Please include an image of a link to one that best represents your suggested item.
- Justification: A member may, at their discretion, provide reasoning for creating the item and why it should be included. Including any other members that are interested in using this item.
Rules
There are several rules members should be aware of before submitting:
- The item will need to have a general appeal to more than one member.
- Items submitted in this way must be unique, original items created by members which also fit into the larger Star Wars universe
- No unique item(s) from Star Wars canon or Legends may be submitted (Darth Vader's helmet, Darth Revan's Lightsaber, Leia Organa's slave outfit, etc.)
- Every item must have an image. Do not submit your proposal without one or a link to one.
- Pre-existing Canon or Legends item(s) must be submitted via the suggestion box below
Approval
All member submissions will be reviewed by the Regent Staff and discussed with the Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master for validity within our system. It is important to understand that each item must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and meeting the above requirements does not guarantee addition. The more information you provide, the better the chance of approval. The approval result (approved or denied) is final and the Regent staff will provide feedback on the item requested to be added.
How to Submit
Send an e-mail to the Regent Staff mailing list djb-regent-staff@googlegroups.com. It is strongly suggested to include the following in the subject in order to ensure it isn't lost: "[Regent Proposal]".
The Template
While not a requirement it is suggested that all member-created items that have been approved have a wiki page created with the following template added to the top: Template:PossessionsApproval
This allows for more details about the item than the Possession description. These pages need not be overly detailed but enough to explain the Item in question. Examples can be found in [Possessions Approved Items]
