[SIZE=18]No character can start out evil, but through a long term duration of RP can be shifted towards LE or NE (NE will be rare) but never CE, CE is reserved for NPC’s only. Any character that is approved for evil will have worked and RP’d at it for a significant amount of time and done it in style (not killing, murdering, maiming—that is not what we want here!). It will not happen over night and it will not happen within a month, it will be a long term RP—pretty much so that I get an understanding of what evil is to that character. If for some reason a character is not approved please do not get upset, it is something that will have to be done from time to time because I (and the team) must look out for the better good of the community and the server.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18]Evil for Layonara, being a family oriented server, must be a “tolerable evil”, there is no murder or rape etc. this can not and will not be allowed. An evil PC in Layonara is really only one that displaces negative personality traits; they are not murderers and such. Being evil is not necessarily going out of your way to harm others. On Layonara, with the number of quests that are run all of the time, it will allow for evil PC’s to be RP’d so long as it is done in a logical and meaningful way, and without breaking rules—basically it must improve Layonara in some meaningful and RP fashion without breaking rules. Now, there may be a few (rare) exceptions to this if it is being watched over by at least one GM and that GM has run it by the GM team well in advance—but it will be very rare.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18]Any person that is approved as an evil character needs (and must) realize how their actions when role-playing evil affects the rest of the server population (even if they are not logged on) and be considerate of the community. If this does not happen that PC will be retired, you will only get one warning and then it will be retired.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18]This means that evil PRC’s will now be opened, however it will be very difficult to RP towards and it can not be submitted at character creation—it can only happen through game play. You must have approval to start working towards evil and after a large amount of online RP you must have CDQ to get to the final step of the evil alignment and it will not be a one session CDQ.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18]Playing evil may mean your character is not liked on the server (if the population knows about it) and you may be an outcast from society, but that is part of the price one pays for being evil.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18]A final note and reminder: Hostile actions towards PC’s must always be pre-approved by a GM and a GM must be in attendance while it is happening. It is hard to get approval but it has and does happen from time to time.[/SIZE]
