(Please see FAQ if you plan to app from KH; special AUs are required.)
Marvel characters are judged on a case-by-case basis; Marvel animated has priority over live-action, as it typically pushes the PG-13 rule less. Special AUs will be required. Please see mods for more help.
Avatar is judged on a case-by-case basis; priority will go to either TLA or LOK based on which characters enter the game first. Special AUs will be required. Please see mods for more help.App-able canons aren't limited by this list! Don't see the canon you're interested in? Let us know! We'll be more than happy to discuss it and see whether or not it's appropriate for this game.
Note: The listed canons are acceptable due to their ability to fit into the WDA world and their ratings. No canon that blatantly changes the WDA world (Ex: Harry Potter and assuming everyone around the globe has wizards living among them in secret), uses mod-reserved characters (Mickey and Co. and the characters that regularly interact with them), and/or pushes/is over the PG-13 rating will be allowed.
Shows must be drama-driven as opposed to comedy-driven (Ex: Gargoyles would be acceptable while Bonkers wouldn't). We request this simply due to the fact that drama-driven characters have continuous character growth in their canons while most comedy-driven characters remain the same despite the multitude of episodes. Due to the nature of this game, we need characters whose set characterization allows them to react to the Black Mist and its dangers without making a joke of it all.
