Thank you all, this will be very helpful!

Ancestry is different from nationality.

I can be ancestrally Irish, been born in Canada making my nationality Canadian and have been raised in America.

As for changing nationality on an already created and utilized character, that depends on what has already been roleplayed. Further, it would require re-Indexing. It is pretty unlikely that Index overlooked the fact that you mentioned in your bio that you were born in Greece and moved to England when you were 4 for [insert reason]. That's not to say it hasn't happened, humans are humans. IF it was already a part of the original, APPROVED Index, then the Index member forgot to ask an admin to update your profile card. Please just message your HOH to get this updated. If not, then you need to re-index, when approved the Index member will submit a profile request edit in admin for you.

Please note: Index will not approve this request if you have roleplayed something to the contrary and whatever you do claim, it needs to make sense in this setting and in the context of the story you have given.

Why? Eugenia lives in England and, as it is on her profilecard, has been English up until now. You can't retcon this, she would IC be changing her nationality now. That would need some explanation.

Eugenia was born in Greece, by Greek parents and moved to England when she was 4

But why would she now, at 12, change her nationality when living in England.

OOC: I did not know there were other Nationalities to choose from really, so I just made it English.

IC: And about your question, she never had British citizenship, she is a Greek to the core. Many just consider her to be English, as she speaks the language just as good. She herself considers herself to be Greek and identifies as one. She refuses when people say that “she is from England”

Ok, I think we're talking past each other right now, so let me just give you some general information- the profile card is expected to be a source of truth, always. That means IC, Eugenia is an English citizen today, July 4th 2024. That is nothing you can undo, it is set in stone, so if you change her nationality now, it would IC change now or in the near future, not in the past. And as Eugenia is currently an English citizen living in England, changing it would need explanation.

Just wondering, is it possible to deactivate a current character and go back to a previous character?

Yes, I have done that.

For example, I started with Noah, then deactivated for Cody, then deactivated Cody to reactivate Noah, then deactivated Noah for Clark, then deactivated Clark to reactivate Noah of whom I’m on right now.

Long story short, yes.

Ok thank you!

How can I make an image transparent, so that when I post it on site it is also transparent?

1. Look for png images.
2. Remove the background
3. Save your images as .png

Don’t use any images that show checkers in the background before clicking on the image in search, it will not have an invisible background.

Sites like canva and remove.bg are great for this. You can simply remove the background of the image you want to use there, and then upload the new transparent image to imgbb.com.
