Haven't seen this anywhere but in the case of say weapons, high-tech power suits, personal affects, military uniforms, etc, that new characters usually have in their possession in their canon, do they still have them upon waking up/arriving in Landel's? Or are those items taken away? Could they also be reattained in game?

To be even more specific, what would happen to Terry McGinnis's Batsuit if he gets accepted into the game and can I get it back in-game if he doesn't have it?

Characters are generally stripped of everything when they first arrive at Landel's -- except that in some cases they can keep a small personal item if it isn't advantageous in any way. I'm assuming you know about Batman stuff, so as an example: Two-Face got to keep his coin.

There is a way for characters to get their canon outfits back, though. During October (which is damned's birthday month) we have something called the Oktoberfest. Basically, if you write a damned-related fic (over 2,000 words) before the end of that month, you can choose for one of your characters to get their outfit back. However, the outfit won't have any advantageous perks added - that is, the Batsuit's utility belt, flying capabilities, etc. would be gone. It'd just be an outfit.

Does that help?
