Switching characters is allowed, but on a case by case basis. These changes have to be approved by the command staff of the Starbase, so contact a member of the staff to discuss the change that you are thinking of. Keep in mind, however, that switching characters is not something to do every month. If a switch is approved, another will not be immediately approved. So think about these changes deeply before you decide to jump. | Switching characters is allowed, but on a case by case basis.

==='''A Note About Realism'''=== | |||
Writing and roleplaying are wonderful ways to use our imagination and get away from real life. However, in Starbase 118 Ops, we expect a certain level of realism in context with the stories. For instance, if an officer is going out and taking drugs and is discovered, there can and will be in character consequences for that type of behaviour. Disrespect to higher officers can lead to demotion or even dismissal if severe enough, and serious injuries can mean an officer is put on leave temporarily to have time to heal. That is not to say that you can't have your character suffer a traumatic injury or struggle with a drug addiction, or any myriad of other difficulties, but please bear in mind that IC actions and situations will result in IC consequences. | |||
Also, please note that sexual assault is one story line that will never be allowed. If you are concerned about whether or not your story is too dark or gritty, please talk to staff. Ops as a location tends to have darker stories- within reason. We can certainly help you make that determination, or even help you employ a story that you wish to tell! | |||
