I have no idea what this is, but my application to the monoliths was declined because of this
"I can't accept you due to your lack of knowledge about CANON. I'd like you to go read some STALKER Wiki's on the Monolith, then Reapply. For Instance: THe Monolith is not a "Joinable" Faction in regard to just walkign up ICly and asking to join. They also don't "Hate" loners, they hate all non-believers." Said By Judas
Can someone explain to me what the "CANON " is or give me a wiki link because i cannot find it
Judas can you add me on steam, Blakeownzu

I suggest you read about every faction mutant and stuff like that.
Well, "Cannon" is the story and rules of the universe you are roleplaying.
For example, Half Life 2 has combine, aliens and etc.
Stalker has factions, artifacts and mutants.
Fallout 3 has raiders, enclave and so on and so forth.
It is also the specifics, like what is the monolith based on and what is the monolith's way of communicating with the Zone

EDIT: Well i dont know what it means when it says " Would rather die to protect the sacred crystal " what is that about?
Monolith really have no care for there actual lives. They've been brainwashed to devote their lives to the wish granter. They often sacrifice themselves for the good of the entire group. They're a hive mind to some extent.

Yeah I already know all of this that you guys are telling me, I just dont understand what he means by " The CANON " lol
CANON is the RP, it's not like an item or prop in the RP, but the story.

CANON is the RP, it's not like an item or prop in the RP, but the story.
i.e the canon for Star Wars is anything published by LucasArts, anything else is fanmade, i.e anythird party games that say Han Solo actually raped Liea, that'de not happen in the actual story because it was obviously made up.
It's the line between acknoweledged events and definitions and such, versus stuff made. Like, how The Empire is a canon faction, whereas The MesoMiso StarDestructors (just mad ethat up) arn't real, or acknowleded in any of the official publishings, but may fit IN the canon.
Canon - A generally accepted principle.
Your backstory consisted of a Character who wanted to "Join" Monolith because Monolith hates loners. That is not CANON. Monolith Murders normal stalkers on sight, and are as close to soulless as you can get. Noone /wants/ to join them ICly, and couldn't if they wanted to. Monolith have been brainfried either by a PSi-Emission, the Wishgranter, or another such effect. Noone walked up and said "I'd like to join you, Good sirs."
As I said, Go learn a bit more about the Faction by reading the Wikis, then edit or reapply.
