General Conversation

As a rule, all conversation is counted as 'in character', unless otherwise indicated. This is a house rule that is usually enforced only when sessions become rowdy and mood becomes difficult to maintain. As a result, not only does it become clear when a player is speaking in and out of character, but it allows the players to better step inside their character's persona, temporarily alienating the player's real self and resulting in a better roleplaying experience.

Indicating OOC

  • For a player to indicate that they are speaking out of character, they can do one of two things;
    1. Raise one of their hands to equal with head height, as if asking a question
    2. Start the sentance with "Out of character..." or similar

Character Conductment

Players are allowed to roleplay their characters however they like, as long as they play to a realistic persona. The only restrictions on characters are that they fit the storyline and setting. Freedom of thought and interaction is encouraged both between player characters and non-player characters. Quality and consistent roleplaying is usually rewarded with at least one experience point.

Player In-Jokes

There are a number of in-jokes that have grown between the players;

'Fair enough'
During conversation, the phrase 'fair enough' is seen as a poor reply to a statement made by another character, especially if it is repeated multiple times.
Carparks
A popular place for Kenji Takumi to hunt (and kidnap people for interrogation), and thusly a dangerous place for people to park their cars.
Eric Belvadir
A simplified version of Elric Belmonts name, used by the simplistic George Sanders.
Dirty Blondes
Although there are only two characters (both female) described as having dirty-blonde hair, for some reason it has been assumed that every female is a dirty blonde. The GM is mystified.
