Question about the faerie rings:
Let's say a faerie makes three and they're all active. Then they make a fourth. Would they be able to pick which of the others went inactive? Could they reactivate an inactive one? Could they have a network of them, but only have three options available at a time, and if so, how would that work?

One will disappear, but the faerie can choose which one. To reactivate it the faerie would have to go back to that location and create a new one.
When one dies and comes back, are they human again, or still at whatever stage of their transformation they were at?
They remain at whatever stage of the transformation they were at, although weakened temporarily.
What if the character was already a monster or a demon? I understand that their powers get nerfed but do they simply lose their powers or do they actually become humans?
About the non-human physical characteristics. For characters that are canonly monsters, are they also allowed to keep them after the nerfing like the above examples or must they also go since they are linked to their status as monsters?
Also, if we app monsters, how will you decide what they become? Are they automatically barred from re-becoming what they once were? Or will they automatically have to return to their canon monster form?

They will essentially become human. Although some physical characteristics can be kept (horns, fangs, tails, odd skin colors, etc) they won't have powers (or weaknesses) humans don't. Strictly appearance-wise, something like a Homestuck troll would not have to be changed - Transformers, ponies, and the like would have to be humanized. If you're unsure about your specific character you can always ask.
Canon monsters are not barred from becoming what they once were. If you don't want them to become the same type of monster you can opt out of that monster type, though. If you choose not to opt-out of that monster type, they may become the same thing but it's not guaranteed.

If I app a second character, am I allowed to request that they become something my first character isn't in addition to the five we want to opt out of? I only ask because there are exactly five I'm not interested in, but I also don't want to expose myself to playing something I've already done...
Oh, yes, I'll add that in the FAQ now. You can request that your characters don't end up as the same thing and we'll make sure they're different.
Question somewhat related to the one above me! If we as a player have no particular problem with playing any of the creature types but instead have problems seeing a character we apped as certain creature types can we have different opt outs for each character we app?
For example, we app character A and we couldn't see ourselves being able to play them as a demon, kelpie or vampire. So we have those as opt outs for character A. Then we app character B and we could see ourselves being able to play them as a demon, kelpie or vampire but them as a minotaur, wendigo or a werebear is something that we can't see ourselves being able to play with. So the opts outs would be the minotaur, wendigo and the werebear.
I'm sorry if that example made it more confusing, I just want to make sure we don't just pick five opts the first time we app and then those are your opt outs forever.

Opt outs are for each individual character, not for each player, so you can choose something different for every character you play if you want.
Music to my ears.
Thank you so much for answering. Hopefully I can app this first app round because this game looks really cool.

sorry if this was answered somewhere, but, similar to the "what if my character is already a supernatural entity" ... well, what if they, in canon already transform into something? would it be possible to have a similar morph in-game (though not exactly the same, so as to keep up the body horror) or would the mods have to choose something entirely different?
They could end up with something similar if there is something similar in the bestiary. They would not be able to keep their canon transformation ability or get an ability no one else has once they transform, though.
About having to feed on humans.
1 - Does this only include human NPCs, or could this also include other PCs? (with their permissions of course)
2 - How long would they be able to keep their control before losing their minds due to not feeding? A few days, weeks, or more like months?
3 - Do all feedings involve killing the human? I guess some of them are inevitable (eating souls and injecting venom seem rather obvious), but some of them involve blood or simply energy. Would they be able to only feed off partway and not kill?

question about if our characters become harpies! i know they can resemble any sort of bird optionally, but could they also resemble any fictional birds, especially if, in canon, they have some sort of connection to such a bird (i.e, a phoenix)?
For the 5-10 character traits, would you prefer us to give a short paragraph of traits, with or without examples, or just list the traits alone for ease?
Example: "Character is considered very intelligent and cunning, but they're also very ruthless and self-centered, like when they blah blah blah" verses a simple "quick-witted, cunning, intelligent, self-absorbed".

I really love the opt-out system and the mods choosing the monster, but I was wondering if a system where the player has to choose between two chosen monsters might be better? The "this is it" end-all verdict is kind of intimidating...I mean, I don't want "here, have eight choices!" but having a final say as a player would be pretty great, I think.
I agree with this. It still narrows the choices down, but gives the player a bit more freedom in deciding how they want to play their character.
One of the things about the game that I find appealing is the mod choosing. If this is implemented, maybe it could be a last resort thing if people aren't happy with their monster? I don't know, but I personally like the lack of freedom on our part.
Ok, questions!
Firstly, can monsters feed on eachother? Like if a vampire caught a fairy unawares, or a werewolf took down a minotaur, would it help their cravings?
If you were wounded, say lost an arm, before death, will it come back upon resurrection? Furthermore, what happens to the corpses of fallen player characters? Do they stick around or dissolve?
Finally... Do any monsters regenerate? Like vampires or werewolves, especially.
Sorry for the excessive curiosity!

Are there monsters in Ryslig before the first wave of PCs turns?
If an apped character is already a monster on the list in canon, is it possible to get an auto-opt out option if you don't want them to become the same thing? If so, will it count toward the total opt-outs or can it be considered a freebie?
Like, if you app a vampire, can you get an option to opt out of vampire automatically without dinging your opt-outs?

I'm seconding the anon above me, but I want to add my own point about why I think it's a little better to have the mods choose it. Take Eachdraich where you could choose between two things your character could be and the only times the mods stepped in is if you choose the exact opposite of your character. At least when they first opened one of the choices had substantially characters in it than the other choice. To be honest, I worry about vampires or werewolves (or anyone but I think those might be the most desired) getting the most if people have the final say out of two and it's a choice between one of those two and another creature.
Can a kelpie control if they're sticky or not? How do they get the person off afterwards if not?
If a character chooses to not kill until they lose their minds and are forced to, is that the end of the character or does feeding revert them back to sanity?

DA, but I'm worried about the exact opposite. I'm worried that even with my opt-outs (which are mostly 4 things with traits I'm just not interested in playing), I'll end up with something a little less exciting like Vampire and Werewolf instead of something extreme.
