Encouraged:
-Ethnic diversity. A few more Hispanic, Indian and African-American characters would be love. So would Vietnamese or Taiwanese. <3
-Nice kids. The ones who aren't edgy or promiscuous or rebellious
-Lesbians and straight men
-Students with school spirit!
Discouraged:
-Super religious/conservative parents who are OMG so strict and cold-hearted and uncaring.
-Guys who are supah playahs and girls who are skanks/teases.
- Kids who are really uber involved in causes such as environmentalism, vegetarianism, animal rights, consumerism, etc
-Effeminate and/or artistically-inclined gay/bi men. This character trope is in fact currently banned. If you must have a sensitive cosmetologist or a male cheerleader or something he can be straight.
If you're creating a gay/bi male and you're not sure if you fit the 'banned' trope check out these pages. In fact, if you play any LGBTQ characters at all check out these pages:
