For someone like me who has more than one character (which I guess is also quite a few other people!), what's the stance on having more than one of your characters in a thread? Yes, No, Depends on how you play it?

It's just, I could see a couple of my characters meeting - and not getting along! :CSly e.g. Vayna trying to order Taia around.

My suggestion? Limit one character to atleast two threads, maybe three, four is pushing it, and five is right out.

So incase something happens in one thread like... you unfortanetely die in it, and you also happen to die in another... you don't create a paradox and in turn, a mess.

I actually meant having two of your own characters in the same thread - yes, no, maybe?

I'm aware, I just saw a chance to make a doctor who quote...

But no, generally speaking you would need an admin approval to RP two of your characters together, unless it's for something relating to a faction then you'd need the faction leaders okay, usually.

Last timeline I role played three of my characters in one thread once. It was a challenge making them interact but it was also enjoyable. I don't see it as a problem unless someone in the thread you're in has an issue with it or it's a battle thread/Main thread. If the latter is the case, you'd need the related Faction Leaders approvals.

You don't need admin permission.

You can RP multiple characters in the same thread. Just be sure you realize that RPing with yourself gets really boring really fast.

Per Bac. You can do it, and it can be a lot of fun [I tend to do loooong 'story posts' when I get bored that's just 1-2 interrelated characters chatting or digging up information on themselves or some other silliness that's fun to reveal in my own way] but it DOES tend to get a bit boring.

Oh I can liven it up - just because they're all my characters, doesn't mean they'll get on! They might even come to blows ...

Making an allusion to another character is as far as I got last timeline, but even that has it's purposes and can add a lot to the thread.

I know it's not been done here yet(I think), but having two or more of your characters in a thread, and then having them team up on one other person's RP in a fight is something I find rather cheap and dumb.

I think it is, but not sure, disallowed to even have that though, especialy for Main Faction Battles.

It would be cheap and dumb if that was the intention behind bringing them both into the same rp. If it just happens to be an rp in which these two characters interact, but someone else comes in the story to mess with them, it's pretty much justified.
