I hate to be the one to bring this up, but I think the mods need to reconsider the appability of characters in regards to Homestuck- more to the point, when it comes to Ancestors.

Considering I myself have played an Ancestor here myself, this probably sounds hypocritical as hell. However I honestly feel like a lot of the Ancestors aside from HIC, Mindfang and the Handmaid don't really have enough canon to be applied for. I don't have anything against our current players or anything- I love our cast- but given the fact that most of the ancestors are, at most, passing mentions from other ancestors, it leaves a little too much room for interpretation when it comes to personalities. Granted, most ancestor players tend to work from the same base assumptions, but the thing is, they're just that- assumptions. I play in another game that allows Ancestors, but as AUs, just in case Homestuck does what it does best and comes around to joss people's headcanons later on.

I know a few other games gave a minimum of appearances/canon that's needed before a Homestuck character is appable, and perhaps that's something that's needed here? I dunno, I'm probably the only one who sees an issue with it, but that's just my two cents on the matter.
