Roster


The roster is a place for people to place characters they've already
built, and in some cases already played, to be then playable by others.
Almost any type of character can be placed onto the roster, and the amount
of effort and development gone into them is only restricted by the player
who created them. Several restrictions apply to playing characters from the
roster. For a long period after you claim them you cannot make very large
changes to them, you cannot get any of their invested resources from them,
and the original author can reclaim them from you. However after you pass a
certain number of hours, these restrictions all lift and the character
becomes entirely a regular character.

Once you've played a rostered character for a few hours, or done anything to
alter them you will be unable to take another character off the roster for
one month. This does not apply if you are the original creator of the
rostered character.

Syntax: Roster list
- Displays a list of all rostered characters by name, and a short blurb
about who they are.

Syntax: Roster info (number)
- Look at more detailed information on a particular rostered character.

Syntax: Roster claim (number)
- Claim a character from the roster for yourself, can only be used from new
character generation. We suggest using lookup self after claiming a
character to further inspect their history and details.

Syntax: Roster deliver
- Send your currently played character to the roster. Either used when you
took a character off and decided you didn't like them, or when someone wants
to place an original character onto the roster.

Syntax: Roster description/introduction
-Used before sending an original character to the roster to set what their
intro on the roster list and their description in roster info will be.

Syntax: Roster reclaim (name)
-Used by the creator to take a claimed roster character back if the person
using it isn't doint so in the way you envisoned.

When a roster character gets to 200 hours it becomes the property of the
current player and can no longer be reclaimed. At this point the creator
also earns up to 5000 karma, with more being earned for roster characters
claimed by new players.
