In light of Chadfest 2k15, BMR's lack of a structured background, and the fact that people are often on the forum in small numbers, the idea was had to have small OVA-like spin-offs to develop characters and lore.
The rules will give further insight:
1. Do not talk about Spin-Off Club.
2. Spin-offs, as pieces of character-based lore moreso than a general rp, require consent from the person(s) who start the spin-off to join.
3. Contents of spin-offs are B-canon, if instances within the timelines of current RPs conflict, the RPs are A-canon.
4. Spin-offs require at least two participants (not necessarily as major characters, one can stand in for side characters), otherwise the content is a story and belongs in the writing thread with the specification that the writer presents the content as canon. Stories specified as canon is subject to the rules here that apply.
5. If the b-canon conflicts with other people's work, either on a direct scale (i.e. "CJ grew up on a small farm where he buried Conan's father" with no participation from Kharn) or on a grand scale (i.e. "Bill would later conquer the Soviet Union and turn Russia into a theocratic despotic collaboration of city-states."), others can challenge the canon's validity.
6. Spin-Offs can not occur during the timeline of a main RP, unless specifically happening during skipped time. Basically, don't straight up RP in a secondary RP, why would you do that.
7. Spin-offs are to be posted here, in the RP section, and the main RPs will be stickied to avoid clutter.
In conclusion,
