What is the current status of the original Animorphs characters?
Why are Marco, Jake, and Tobias still missing?
How do the Ellimist and Crayak fit into things? How are they portrayed?
How does The One fit into things? How is it/he portrayed?
What is The Sanctuary?
Where do I post a thread that occurs in a city there isn't currently a board for?
Why are there accounts for Jake, Cassie, Marco, & Tobias?
Because Jack, Ashley, and Kyle are the leaders of the new Animorphs, does that make them somehow more important than other Animorph recruits?

Why are Marco, Jake, and Tobias still missing?
Menderdash, a human nothlit who was formerly an andalite and Ax's second-in-command, was the sole survivor of The One's attack on their ship. He was the pilot of The Rachel, and since he died when The Rachel rammed The One's ship, that hinderd Marco, Jake, and Tobias's return to earth. The Z-Space shift is also making their return to Earth more difficult.
How do the Ellimist and Crayak fit into things? How are they portrayed?
Ellimist and Crayak will be admin played characters and will be mostly inactive, similar to how they only interacted minimally in the actual series. On occasion, however, characters will have the chance to receive a plot - or "quest" - where one will interact with you directly.
Crayak: In our plot, Crayak is more of a "Chaotic Neutral" deity, he does not side with either The One or Ellimist, though he will ally himself with one or the other at times. His main focus is, however, "winning his game with the Ellimist. His pawns are again the yeerks, though he can and sometimes will manipulate the pawns of his opponents as well.
Ellimist: Ellimist is the "Good" deity - or at least the one with the best intentions - and his pawns in the game are Kyle, Jack, Ashley, and their Animorph recruits.

How does The One fit into things? How is it/he portrayed?
The One serves the role of the "Ultimate Evil" in our plot. His main and only focus is assimilating everything into himself, a process he calls "The Unification". His pawns are the yeerks who were aboard the blade ship that had escaped, the one Ax had been tracking. The One will not interact with humans much if ever and you will never receive a "quest" from him. It's not in his nature to toy with any of the pawns in the game. When he does appear, it will probably be through one of his partially-absorbed yeerk pawns.
What is The Sanctuary?
The Sanctuary is a stolen blade ship that serves as the headquarters for the new generation of Animorphs. It is a special prototype of a new kind of blade ship, so it will not be exactly like the ones seen in the series.
Where do I post a thread that occurs in a city there isn't currently a board for?
Post it in the main board for the area the city is in. For example, a thread occurring in Minneapolis, Minnesota would occur in the Central United States board. If we visit a city frequently enough, a board for it may be added at a later date.
Why are there accounts for Jake, Cassie, Marco, & Tobias?
Cassie's account is for some back-story stuff we planned to RP out with her and the three leaders - Jack, Kyle, and Ashley - such as when she recruited them. Marco, Jake, and Tobias... may come into the plot later. We also thought there could be something shown as far as back-story/present story for them being stuck in space. All four are NPCs because someone having them as a character would not allow for many RP opportunities.
Because Jack, Ashley, and Kyle are the leaders of the new Animorphs, does that make them somehow more important than other Animorph recruits?
When it comes the chain of command within the Animorphs army, Jack, Ashley, and Kyle started the new generation of Animorphs and are it's leaders. They do have more authority than other Animorphs. However, NO, they are not more important to the plot, nor will they be the sole focus of the plot. Every character will have their own importance and will get chances to interact with the deities and impact the plot.
