Return to News Files
Players at United Heroes are encouraged to play multiple characters. We track this via a system of Character Points. Each player has five (5) points, which can be occupied by several characters according to how many points each character takes up.
Character Type | Points |
---|---|
App-Free Character(s) (AFC) | 0-1 Point(s) |
Feature Character(s) (FC) | 0-1 Point(s) |
Deluxe Feature Characters (DFC) | 2 Points |
Essential Feature Characters (EFC) | 3 Points |
Original Character(s) (OC) | 0-1 Point(s) |
Shelved Original Characters | 0 Points |
Original Space Character(s) (OSC) | 0-1 Point(s) |
Space Feature Character(s) (SFC) | 0-1 Point(s) |
Villainous Feature Character(s) (VFC) | 0-1 Point(s) |
Multiple Characters
You are more than welcome to have multiple FCs, provided they meet the following criteria:
- All activity policies will be enforced per character regardless of how many characters you have. For example, if you have 1 FC and 1 DFC, you will be expected to meet activity requirements for both of them.
- Under no circumstances should your characters ever directly interact with each other. Indirect interaction should also be avoided whenever possible.
- By default, character limits are issued by site. If some situation obliges you to have the same site address as another player, for example, a sibling, roommate, or partner, talk to a member of staff.
- Only you should play or login as your characters. Having someone else login your character can be grounds for ejection from the character.
Can I get more points?
Yes, it is possible to have more than five points worth of characters. But this is not done lightly. If you are a dedicated and active player, staff will consider raising your limit on a case-by-case basis. You can include your justification for this in the request (see +help +job).
If you have been approved for extra points but you go idle with any of your characters, the extra points are removed. Your current characters will be grandfathered in so they won't be taken away, but as you drop, you don't get those extra points back. This would continue until you return to the original five points.
Multiple App-Free, Feature, Original, Space and / or Villainous Character
Each player may have one AFC, FC, OC, SFC, and VFC. The first one in each of these categories does not occupy any character points. If you would like a second one while retaining the first, the second one will occupy one (1) character point. The reason we have these categories is to make it easy for new players to get a quick start.
