Anybody else ever use their main as totally different character? And not as an npc, mind you. I mean a fully realized character?
I, personally, do this. During my second event, I had a character, The Doctor, who was pivotal to the plot, never existed as his own character. Instead I just used Askier and dressed up up and cropped his hair. And plenty of people rped with me doing this.
Currently, I have another character, a fully realized one, also sharing Askier's model, just with drastically different hair, attire, and face paint. Â
I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone else does this at all and what your reasons are.
Is it cause you don't have much free time to level?
Is it cause you have vanity gear you can't get anymore?
Is it cause server lock on Balmung?
Or do you find this to be an rp cardinal sin and a huge rp no-no?
Thought this could be a fun topic to discuss.
I wish I had thought of this before I leveled three separate toons...>.>
But seriously, this is a good idea. I would not mind a person doing this so long as they told me what costumes to associate with what character and stuck to them. This sort of thing was done in Champs all the time (where you could have multiple costumes that looked NOTHING alike) and I know I didn't mind it there. Again, as long as I know that you're current IC as 'The Doctor' or your regular character, I foresee no problems beyond the occasional need to clarify for people not in the know.
