This page is about the rules governing multiple characters. On Mizahar, there's a massive variety of races and places available for playing, which makes it completely understandable that players would want to check out different types of characters and experiences - some places are only truly open to their native denizens, some are completely inaccessible, and sometimes sometimes it's simply not feasible to move your character around so much. Mizahar is an extremely harsh world and dangerous to traverse, which means an option that is available to the player is to make a new character.

What Is An Alt?

An "Alt" is a short form term for "alternative character".

What Are The Alt Rules?

  1. See Multiple Characters for details.
  2. Two PCs from the same player cannot exchange goods or services without legitimate effort being put into the exchange. Thus one more experienced PC can't for example outfit an alt of another PC without that alt having earned the items in a fair manner or without having legitimate buying and selling taking place.
  3. Players cannot have more than 5 accounts at any one given time.

How Do I Make One?

Same as you made your first character. Make a new account with the name of your alt, and proceed from there.

How Many Can I Have?

Mizahar allows players to have a maximum of five active accounts.

I've Reached Five! I want more! Now What?!

So you've managed to have five characters, and you really want to try something new... but you're at the limit. Then what? Basically, one of your alts must be retired. After finishing off their active threads, you can either formally retire them, have them settle down and live a nondescript life forevermore; or you can retire them by an entirely different method and kill them off... choosing, of course, not to continue playing them. In either case, whichever you prefer, once you've retired your character, let a Founder know, and they can retire that account. Once they've done that, you're free to make yet another alt.

Can They Interact?

Absolutely not. Your different characters may never interact with each other. They cannot benefit from the others in some way, be it a trade of funds, items, prestige, and so on.

Okay, So They Can't Interact... Can They Be In The Same Domain?

Honestly? The usual answer is 'no', they cannot be in the same domain at the same time. If, however, the Domain Storyteller (DS) of the domain in question agrees to it, then two alts may in fact be in the same domain at the time... but be prepared to send the DS a private message to them first to make sure. Domain Storytellers have the right to say no, and this decision must be respected by the player.

See Multiple Characters for more details.
