What is acceptable:
- Having an alt.
- Playing a relative of your character (i.e. brother, sister, parent, cousin etc).
- Sharing a backstory with another character if they are related in some way (i.e. known traits of the person or common parts of the backstory, such as their upbringing and cultural background).
- Sharing information between characters.
- Once your characters enter the world of New Alexandria, their character story lines should split away from one another.
- Immediately being part of the same gang/posse/group as another one of your previous/deceased characters.
- Being part of the same gang/posse as one of your active/living characters.
- Transferring money, horses or objects between characters.
- Adding multiple alt-characters to a singular camp.
- Playing identical twins or characters that closely resemble one another.
- Having the same or similar name to the previous/other character, other than surname.
- Using Alts names as aliases between characters.
- Using Alt to play a very similar character to the original.
- Using the Alt to push/effect the story of another one of your characters.
- Using the Alt to get revenge for the other character (Ex: If a character killed your previous character, you cannot have an alt, or an alt that was a relative of the other to go to seek vengeance for that character).
An alt, whether related to one of your other characters or not should always be unique and have their own story line.
They should not be used to replace the other if they have passed on or had to leave the State for whatever reason.
You should not be seeking out your other characters friend groups to intermingle with them, though we understand that after extended periods of time acquaintances may overlap organically.
You should never have one of your character seek revenge on behalf of another one of yours, even if you feel it would make sense to do so, or to influence your other characters storylines in any way.
Information should never be passed along or shared between the characters as that would be META, this includes using another person's character to transfer knowledge from one of your characters to another.
You must be extra careful to keep their knowledge separate to avoid risk of META at all times.
Thank you,
The Staff Team
