Alternative Characters

Alternative Player Characters will be allowed on Deep Shadows. While technology allows for easy manipulation of any alt policy we do ask that players use the honor system by disclosing and registering each alt to their other characters.
While it is not enforced it is encouraged that players avoid alts if they are not able to focus on multiple story lines at once. It is frustrating that a player will be in multiple scenes at once with various character alts. It is a distraction in a hobby that makes it difficult to run scenes as it is. It often leads to a player ignoring the one scene in favor for the other but not dropping out either. It is also suggested that no alt be similar concepts and archetype.
Each player can one 'Alts' for each city grid as they want once they've occurred 200 lifetime karma on their main character and each alt and only on the discretion of approving staff. What staff is looking for when deciding to allow a player an alt;
Participation. Is a player active in the MUSH or do they just sit off grid and chat?
Rewards. Did the player do something grand to deserve this alt?
Disciplinary Actions. Has staff previously had to discipline this player? What was the rule they broke? If it is found out that a person with disciplinary action due to harassment issues has made a new alt, that alt shall be destroyed.
Alts shall not share any resources including but not limited to currency, any equipment, and safehouses. The only thing alts can share is public contacts.

Alts should never be on a run together and should in due diligence avoid any scenes together. This applies to all astral and matrix spaces as well as meat space.
Breaking of alt policy could result in disciplinary actions. Continually breaking these policies will result in the main character being destroyed and the account banned.
A staff member will be allowed one main character. See Staff Policies.
