Editing Posting Rules (section)

==Character Types==
When you arrive in game you will be allowed your character, and yours alone to play. You'll only be allowed this one character for three months until the Command team feels you are ready to take on other characters responsibly.

There are three types of characters in ST:Freedom. '''PCs''', '''SPCs''' and '''NPCs'''.

'''PCs''' and '''SPCs''' are characters created by players for long term use. For you, your created character is you PC. You have sole rights to play this character, decide who they are, what they do, when they die.

No one can change, play or kill another person’s '''PC'''.

'''SPCs''' are very similar, you cannot play them, change them or kill them. The right to play multiple characters is earned by good standing, good posting and a bare minimum of 3 months play. After that time you can request to play another character – who will not ever outrank your PC. If you neglect your '''PC''', you run the risk of loosing '''SPCs''' and possibly being kicked out of the
game. The one difference between PCs and '''SPCs''' is that, you may – with permission of the creating player kill off an '''SPC'''. You must have a legitimate, plot driving reason to do it however. “Just because” is not a good reason, nor is “He/She is annoying”.

'''NPCs''' are another deal altogether, anyone can create them, use them, play them and kill them. These are ST: Freedom “red shirts”. They generally are there to help move the plot along, but are not central to it.
