I wouldn't be for just straight up joining as a custom. I say you have to prove that you deserve a custom first before you come in and upset the balance of the RPG.
If that would be the case perhaps cut the time limit down to 4 months, just to show that the person has what it takes to really deserve a custom. If we allow customs in just straight off the bad, everyone who joins will want a custom character and we'd be the only actual DBZ chars left, which would upset the whole balance of the game in my opinion. I do agree with you there, if customs were allowed straight off, they better do more than a 300 word sample. They need to do it perhaps in stages, like a 3 part roleplay of at least 600 words apeice, just to give a better feel of their character before they hop into the community.
Supes, I am not quite sure I understand your chart on the stat penalties...
Does it mean that for each character that, for instance, joins as a Saiyan, the other custom saiyans have to take a deduction as well? or just for each custom saiyan in the game, the newcomer would have to take a deduction for each of that race?
For instance, say there are 4 custom saiyans in the game. the joinee would take 4x the stat penalty then?

Last I do believe they should have to do a much harder Example Roleplay. They are making a character from scratch here, they better be a damn fine writer. A 300 word sample isn?t going to cut it. You want a custom character you prove you earned that custom.
