Sorry for the late reply, but Spike and William are already claimed. Please let me know if you'd like to claim someone else and I'll get right on it. Okay, no worries, but I think I can make a fair argument for this. If we're saying that you can claim a character before or after they've had a soul such as Laim > Angleus > Angle, then Spike should also have three possible claims such as William > William the Bloody > Spike. Now, I know that the name "William the Bloody" was given to him during his human life because his poetry was "bloody awful" but that wasn't who he was he was merely being teased. However, when he became a vampire he embraced the name. When Spike first entered the buffyverse Giles was researching him and said that he had been known as William the Bloody, and in a flash back in the Angle episode The Girl in Question Angleus refures to him as William the Bloody: (hanging in a prison of the Immortal) Spike: He's going to curse the day he ever crossed purpose with Angleus! Angleus: Aye, and William the Bloody! Also, Spike remains Spike and never goes by William the Bloody again after having a soul. So, . . . please, can I claim William the Bloody? Also - funny side note - I thought you'd say yes, so I already wrote it on my profile and now I can't change it. I also can't change my profile picture so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong... Your argument is kinda confusing me. It seems like you are trying to argue that William (the human) is a different character than Spike (the vampire), but you originally requested to claim ensouled Spike. William and Spike are already claimed, but at this point, I'll let you claim ensouled Spike out of laziness, if that's who you want. can I claim Eddie Hope? or are we only doing show characters? Claim added. Really? No one's claimed Giles? Well, then, I think I'd like to stake my claim... Claim added.

Hey Eric, No, that's not really what I meant, although I could see how it was confusing side by side with my original post. Basically, I realized that trying to claim an ensouled Spike might have been unfair since that is usually the Spike we think of and Emmie probably meant to claim Spike with a Soul. So, instead i was trying to claim Spike WITHOUT a soul and proposing that the way to differentiate between the separate characters of Spike would be William (the human) > William the Bloody (the vampire without a soul) > Spike (vampire with a soul).
Still with me? Sorry if this is confusing and annoying, Eric, I only want to be a part of this:) So, I was saying that I wanted to claim William the Bloody (souless spike) but if you think that has already been claimed I'd be MORE than happy to have Ensouled Spike! Either or! Thanks, Eric and sorry for the confusion and making a big deal out of this:)

If you register on the new site within two months of its opening, you're all set. You will still have your claim. If you don't, I'm going to assume you're not going to register at all, and you're claim will become forfeit. This will free up some popular characters who were claimed by members that haven't bothered being active.

I have a question...would it be ok to claim objects that have names? Like Mr. Pointy, Acathla, or Serenity things like that?
If it is ok I'd like to claim Serenity.
However if it's not ok than I'd like to claim Zoe, who I don't think has been claimed, I might have missed it though.

Sorry for the late replies. It slipped my mind. oops now i see that oz is taken he is listed under his full name, i wondered why he wasn't taken yet hmm let me see how about vampy cat from the comics, i love those things. Well, vampy cats are a species, not a character. You can claim a specific one, if you'd like. I believe their leader was named Fluffy. I have a question...would it be ok to claim objects that have names? Like Mr. Pointy, Acathla, or Serenity things like that? If it is ok I'd like to claim Serenity. However if it's not ok than I'd like to claim Zoe, who I don't think has been claimed, I might have missed it though. Well, I know I let Mr. Gordo slide, but I don't know about Serenity. Gordo was made in the image of a living thing and was given the name of a human. Serenity, not so much. I've given other people the chance to argue why I should add their unusual claim. You have that same chance, if you'd like, but for now, I've added your claim of Zoe.

Pretty much my best argument at this point would be 'it'd be cool'. Not a very convincing argument. but for now, I've added your claim of Zoe. Thank you.

Just a heads up: Because of how muddy the rules are and in preparation of the forum move, I will be updating the rules and giving the original post a face lift. This will hopefully make it easier for me and anyone who is interested in claiming. I would appreciate any suggestions. Well, vampy cats are a species, not a character. You can claim a specific one, if you'd like. I believe their leader was named Fluffy. ok i'll take fluffy the vampy cat Thanks for being so cooperative. Claim added. Can I please Claim Buffy from the 1992 film? or not? thanks. It's not canon..but still, it's where 'Buffy' came from. if yes, but I can't have Buffy from the film then Pike. thanks again. Sorry, but I think it's really important this thread stays canon-only. I've made exceptions and rule-changes before and they've really back fired on me. Pike is fine, though, because he appears in The Origin, which is canon. He'll be under his first name, Oliver. Claim added. Well, I know I let Mr. Gordo slide, but I don't know about Serenity. Gordo was made in the image of a living thing and was given the name of a human. Serenity, not so much. I've given other people the chance to argue why I should add their unusual claim. You have that same chance, if you'd like, No, that's ok. Pretty much my best argument at this point would be 'it'd be cool'. Not a very convincing argument. but for now, I've added your claim of Zoe.
