The Grey Character

    These are brief words about a rule that is not a rule.

    When a Player's absent, you'll need to consider what may or may not happen with that Player Character in specific.

    Here are Some Considerations necessary:

    1. Survival:

    The Character whose Player is absent will make everything to survive.

    That's in fact a good thing, because if a Player Character dies when their Player's absent it's a completely anticlimax situation. You should avoid that. Sure. A Character's death should be something important, essencially, to the Story.

    2. The Character agrees:

    Due to the Player's absence, the Character lacks point of view, but remember that she still have opinions, Ideals and the like.

    3. Help:

    An absent Player renders to the group a Character that will help the group.

    There's only one problem in this.

    Sometimes, another Player could take advantage of that. It's normal. Only you must take care with the Absent's very Help, not to let other Players take advantages that contradicts that Character's story, Ideals, goals and the like.

    4. Study Time:

    When there's anything the Character could do to help the others, that's good to make him practice something, to study or take care of her daily affairs.

    That's all for this Post.

    Hope you enjoy your Play, and Stay Plugged.
