Compared to on many other games, where it is the norm for players to create original characters, players have somewhat less control over their characters on Blood of Dragons.
The most important thing to note may be that once a player leaves the game, their character may end up being played by someone else. This is true both for characters the Admin have created and the rarer original characters created by players. In this case, all the information created for the character by the first player will also be reused.
All character can also be actively recast by the Admin, for example in instances of irresolvable conflict with the current player or if the current player has been logging in extremely infrequently despite repeated warnings. This is more likely to happen the more important the character is to the on-going roleplay on the game.
If a player knows they are leaving the game, killing their character off is not an acceptable approach to accomplishing closure for the character or to keep it from being recast. If a player wishes to kill off their character, for example as part of a plot, they should first obtain permission from the Admin to do so by submitting (see +HELP JOBS) a proposal regarding the matter.
Lords and heirs to noble houses must request approval (see +HELP JOBS) from the Admin before proceeding with betrothals or marriages. For the most part this policy will be to help maintain authenticity and bring to the attention of the Admin any such unions which may prove unthematic (e.g., the Lord of Highgarden marrying a commoner).
From time to time, the Admin may inform the players of certain characters of events that are expected to happen within the next few months. Players may, for example, be asked to arrange a marriage for certain characters. This is done in order to nudge the storyline of the game in specific directions.
Players are also expected to keep their characters up to date. This includes, for example, adding significant events to the public history and adding relations. Players who fail to do these things may be warned by the Admin, and if they still do not meet these requirements, they may have their approval to play a certain character revoked.
