Alternate Character (Rules)

From Barbarians of Gor

Revision as of 13:15, 23 May 2024 by Branwyn (talk | contribs)

Alternate characters require the use of another steam account. There are two exception; "quick change" to an NPC for a scene/host an event or (NEW) your character's own guard.

Alternate Characters (on alt Steam Accounts)
We allow alts to be played on a separate steam account. We require you to have the time to dedicate to two fully developed and invested characters. The alt character can never be used as a crafting mule, combat monkey or anything that is used to avoid role-play consequences or effect consequences on others related to either character.
  • Ideally, alternate characters should be completely separate from your main character's plot line. (If you do not do this and it becomes a problem for you or anyone else we reserve the right to removed the alternate account.)
  • Both characters need an application, however we do not require two discord accounts.
Alternate Characters (on the same account using IQOL)
We do not allow alternate characters on the same account. The occasional "quick change" for an NPC character to push a scene or host an event is fine. Please make sure that this is reasonably clear to players - preferably with the tag (NPC) after the name.

Your Guard as an Alt

As more and more of our players continue to adhere to the standards of Gorean Fiction for their female avatars we believe that our community is experienced and mature enough to handle the following option to play their own guard NPC.

Thrall Mode, PC Mode
In this context "thrall mode" is when you or your guard are the thrall vs PC mode when you or your guard are being played as the player character.
Basic Rules
  • The guard must be applied for.
  • The guard must be a male combatant.
  • The guard must be regularly in tow with your OC (Original Character) so that players are familiar with his presence and appearance.
  • The guard must have (YourName's OC Guard) in their name when a thrall.
  • The guard must use the OC Guard status when being played directly.
  • A description of the guard must be in your RPR profile - there is a specific question to fill in.
  • You must put (OC) after your name when your main character is in "thrall mode".
  • It is acceptable to use /act or /do to role-play yourself or the guard in "thrall mode".
  • Female avatars can not fight when in thrall mode, keep them on passive.
Who can use this?
  • Any slave or free woman.
  • Any OC character that is not otherwise a combatant may apply for their guard as an alt. So yes, if your male character is a non-combatant you may apply for a guard.
