I even enforced that samples must be historical in a recent game I started.

I generally don't go that route since with this particular RP the characters aren't starting with their powers and some players may want to display them in their samples.

Honestly I wasn't going to make my sample canon as I borrowed it from another character who is a lot more aggressive than I was planning on making Alexis (I just didn't have any ideas for a sample at the time... shh!)
