Your Characters Here |
Have you ever wondered what would happen if your own warriors could clash, befriend each other or simply just pass each other by and chat in the supermarket? What sort of silly shenanigans could only become reality through their interactions? Do they have a mutual friend written by another player that would want to introduce them to each other formally? Well, wonder no further! This is a system specifically built around and tailored for your own characters being able to interact!Of course, this system will come with its own set of rules that must be followed, and they are detailed below.
Having two or more of your own characters in the same thread rules/guidelines;
- You cannot have two or more of your characters participate in the same Action Thread, all threads where two or more of any individual player's characters interact must be Non-AT and remain that way for the duration of the entire thread.
- You may not provide any AT/Mechanical advantage to your own characters using your other characters. IE; You cannot trade items between them.
- Starting another AT on the same planet where another of your characters is already AT locked on to try and gain an advantage will be counted as metagaming and will result in a warning. This will be judged as a case-by-case basis as per the usual AT rules.
- In order to gain any XP, your characters must be in a thread where a third character that is not one of your own is present. There must be another player participating in the thread in order for it to take place, as we want to encourage engaging with others first and foremost.
- If you intend to have a thread between just two of your characters and no others, they only gain Zeni.
- Threads with two or more of your own characters will be treated as if the extra characters were not there for purposes of grading, and the extra characters do not get gains of any kind outside of the Zeni earned from that thread. Effectively, these threads will be graded based on the number of players participating as opposed to characters present.
- To use this system, the player intending to use multiple of their characters must purchase a special consumable item, the Liquid Time Ring on one of these characters, it costs 5,500 Zeni. It is purchased through your Shop Threads so that we can keep track of who has them easier.
- You can only purchase this item as much as you have alternate characters. Only one of your characters can have stacks of it at any one time. EG: You have four Characters, one character can purchase 3 of this item.
Below is what it looks like!
- You can only use this system once per month, and only have one thread of this type occurring until it is finished across all of your characters.
- Events in these threads cannot be referred to in other threads until it is completed and looked over by staff where needed.
- This cannot become your primary way to RP, and the main characters that you create still cannot be heavily related with each other on creation. IE; Siblings, Mortal enemies, etc
- When handing in these kinds of threads, you must include who owns which character. The player using multiple characters will only receive gains for the character that joins the thread first out of their characters.
When turning in threads of this type please use the format below;[b]Thread Link:[/b] Give us a direct, working link to your thread here.
[b]Player Participants:[/b] How many players were in the thread? Who wrote which character/s? If one player wrote two but the other wrote one please list that here.
[b]Characters:[/b] How many characters were in your thread, and who were they? If a character either dipped out early, joined your thread late, or stopped posting, note so here as well.
[b]Completion:[/b] Did your thread reach a natural conclusion where all characters exited? If you believe you are eligible for a completion bonus due to another player(s) abandoning the thread while you were still active, state that here.
[b]Word Counts[/b]: If your thread is complete, list the total WCs of all members who tracked their word count in the thread here, per person. You do not get this bonus if the thread is incomplete.
[b]Additional Notes:[/b] If you used any consumable items that need removing, or have anything else you'd like us to know when grading your thread, state it here. If the Malus line changed and this affects how your thread should be graded, please notify us here.
