Guard duty is boring....... so boring. Roleplayers love to have fun, but that can be hard when your character's careers is to follow a Lala about and maybe chase a jewel thief. Sworn are after all not the police (Brass Blades), or even the army (Immortal Flames). They are the palace guard primarily. So here is where many Sworn RPers bend the Lore a bit. Many declare a side mission, a special task or duty assigned to them by superiors. This often gives an IC reason to leave the palace where none would have been. An example would be Erik, an Immortal Flame, Erik became a Sworn days after the Calamity. So he has only been a Sworn for 6 years. As such he is much more a soldier then a knight, though his upbringing may fool you. So what did I do? IC I kept Erik a Flame also. His appointment to the Sworn was agreed upon by both agencies so that he could act on the side as liaison to both organization. Now I have an established story that allows me freedom to RP as a Sworn... or a Flame.... or both. All it takes is a big imagination to find a way to justify a way to do things. As long as its not to crazy (one I heard once was he was a Sworn, but also the secret brother to the Sultana o_O ), most people will accept it.
As for down time, Erik jogs while I write to people, and he plays with his younger daughter.
