A solo with more then one of your own characters?

Hiya,

I assume there is no rule against a RP thread with just your own characters (ie: only you as human, but multiple of your chars)?
If not, then I wonder how a thread like that would be judged.

Will it be seen as a quest/battle in which every character gets seperate spoils, or a solo in which only 1 char get spoils? Personally I hope for the first, basically because if you take the effort in account it is comparable with writing in multiple threads hence multiple spoils appear logic and fair (to me, that is).

Anyhow, if anyone could enlighten me on this one (s)he has my graditute.

As one who does this quite often, I can assure you that both

A) this is allowed, provided all characters involved are completely legit approved characters.

and

B) That it is judged as a normal quest and each character receives awards and spoils appropriate to that character individually. That is, as an example, in my current thread with Irene and Destrudo, when it is finished, while the judge knows it's only one person writing, he/she/it/whatever will give each character experience, gold, and quest spoils appropriately. It will not all be heaped upon one, with the other left out in the cold.

Now, let me advise you of one thing:
In your OP, put a small OOC note explaining that all characters involved are yours and you give yourself permission to bunny your own characters. This makes that awesome post where Destrudo pours gallons of lamp oil all over Kernkraft and Irene immediately sets him on fire since it's just one quick action possible.

By no means does this mean Destrudo should do a whole post for Irene, but conversations are easier, and actions are easier.

I bet someone else can explain better than I, and they probably should.

I've done this before as well. In fact, my two old characters Acolyte Bosche and Arius Mephisto basically only did threads with eachother. Aiko has described it pretty much perfectly.

You give "permission" for each one of your characters to determine some of the other's actions so you don't have to bounce back and forth between the accounts. Generally though, you try to post as much like normal as you can.

It actually makes a solo really interesting to write because you keep switching between perspectives and sometimes styles of writing, if applicable. I had similar styles for my two characters, but people who paid attention would notice that the same scene have significant differences when described in each post. It's a really fun opportunity to show contrast and range in your writing ability.

I should also mention, that if you do a battle, it too is judged as a normal battle.

Ah thanks, that makes it all clear :-).
