Character Creation / Rewrite
This form is intended for new character submissions or updates to an existing character.
REWRITES
Before you attend your third event, we encourage you to review the rulebook and identify if there are any aspects of your character you would like to change. You have the option to melting down completely for build and create the same character with changes, or a brand new character. This rewrite applies to every player before their third game.
Character Retirement
If your character dies or you want to voluntarily retire a character, all in-character items must be turned in to one of your local branch’s Guides prior to retirement. You can discuss with staff the type of character retirement you’d prefer, so you can close your story in a fitting way. Once staff reviews these items, you will be awarded 100% of your existing experience points for the new character. Failure to turn in all items may result in some experience points not being awarded to your new character.
Upon receiving experience points from character retirement, 50% of your experience will be available at character creation. The other 50% of your retirement experience points will be awarded after 6 months of playing your new character. Please note that when creating a character with experience points carried over from a retired character, you do not receive the 50 starting creation points. However, you can purchase skills and Professions as long as you have the experience to do so..
Using character death or retirement as a means to create joke characters, disrupt play, target other player characters in-game, or manipulate the game system is directly against the intent of this process and may result in not being welcome at future events.
A retirement story must be discussed with a player’s Home Branch’s employees in between events and must be a mutually created story that not only brings a sense of completion to the character; but also provides a character retirement that will engage and drive story for other players.
At the end of a retirement story, all currency, items, resources, and in-character materials that the character has must be turned over to a Home Branch. Both the Guide and the player should record what items are turned in.
The player must check in with the Guides and participants they interact with the most on an out-of-character level to ensure that no only is the person who is retiring their character not experiencing negative bleed, but also that those who are impacted the most by the character retirement are not being impacted by negative bleed.
The Home Branch’s employees and the player must follow and agree on all outlined aspects of a retirement story arc (check-in, turning in of all goods, creation of a story that is beneficial to the player and to the community, and clear communication and direction in the downtime) at the start, middle, and end of the retirement arc.
