Fantasy Alive Character Retirement, Remort and Finishment Policy
This Policy is in effect for characters that Remort, Retire or Finish as of August 2018.
Remort
This is an option for Players of Fantasy Alive to change aspects of their character to try out different styles of play. This option is available to players once for free and each additional time for a $30 Logistics fee until the Character’s SP Total exceeds the Players’ SP Cap. A player may also Remort once the second event a player ever plays a character. After passing the SP Cap, Remorting your character is no longer an option. Remorting follows these rules:
o The character keeps all SP/XP accumulated to the point of Remorting.
o All coin and tags held by character must be turned into Log.
o OC may be converted to Coin up to the set OC cap as per a normal registration.
o New character begins with a starting coin amount of 300 cp (plus any OC converted to Coin). This can be used to purchase items from the list below.
o All skills may be completely changed up to the character’s current SP Total
o Race may be changed
o If race is changed, character must be an entirely different person with a new name and no memories or relations built previously. Otherwise, the Player can decide whether the new Character is entirely new or just the previous Character with some different aspects.
o OC may be converted to XP up to the Player’s OC cap as per a normal registration.
o OC may not be converted for Items or Services.
o The character gives up any ability to use their downtime for anything during the Log period of the Remort.
o The player may not submit any Between Game Actions, Role-Play on the Boards, or any other use of their previous Character or Remorted Character during the Log period of the Remort.
o The previous character may be used by Plot at their discretion. Plot may request the Player to Cast as the character during these times, but the Player is not required to do so.

Retirement
There comes a time when a character decides to leave the life of adventure. Retirement in Fantasy Alive is when a Player decides that they no longer wish to play their current Character and instead try out something brand new. This can be done any time after a Character SP Total exceeds the Player’s SP Cap.
A Retired Character has these qualities:
· May not be played except at the request of a Plot Member.
· No longer gains XP/SP or changes in any skills
· May not roleplay or otherwise act on Fantasy Alive official online sites.
Retirement can occur in two ways: Quest or Immediate
A Retirement Quest is something that is designed to be the end of the character’s story, a culmination of all of their adventures into one final chapter. Characters eligible for Retirement may request from Plot a Retirement Quest which may be provided should these conditions are met:
· The Quest must be no longer than 3-5 events long.
· The Quest must end with the Character being Retired as per all set qualities set above.
· Plot will develop the Quest in conjunction with the Player’s wishes but Plot, Head of Plot and Owners have the final say in how the Quest plays out.
· The player must use the base starting SP as per the rulebook for their next character. (15 SP for Human, 10 SP for all other races.)
· Retirement quests will begin when Plot resources are available.
To Retire a Character through a Quest, the steps below are followed:
o Head of Plot and Logisitics must be informed of the player’s decision to take the Quest Retirement option.
o Plot speaks to the player and together they work out a suitable final chapter for the character.
o The Quest commences once Plot is prepared and continues until the story is completed (within 5 events maximum)
o The player then follows these steps in creating a new character:
§ The new Character made must be an entirely different person with no memories or relations built previously.
§ Their new character is set at 15 or 10SP based on the race chosen.
§ All coin and tags held by character must be turned into Log.
· Items and coin may be given to other characters, but at the discretion of Owners.
§ OC may be converted to Coin up to the set OC cap as per a normal registration.
§ OC may not be converted for Items or Services.
§ New character begins with a starting coin amount of 300 cp (plus any OC converted to Coin). This can be used to purchase items from the list below.
§ Race, Skills Backstory and any other aspects of the Character may be selected normally.
§ OC may be converted to XP up to the Player’s OC cap as per a normal registration.
§ The character gives up any ability to use their downtime for anything during the Log period of the Remort.
§ The player may not submit any Between Game Actions, Role-Play on the Boards, or any other use of their previous Character or Remorted Character during the Log period of the Remort.
§ The Retired character may be used by Plot at their and the Player’s discretion. Plot may request the Player to Cast as the character during these times, but the Player is not required to do so.

Finishment
When a character dies and becomes a Spirit while having no Resurrections on their sheet. The character’s Spirit passes through the Curtain and can no longer be resurrected.
When a character is in this position, the Player has a few options:
1. Follow the same rules for Immediate Retirement (details above) and create a new character. The new character can be created that same event.
2. The Player may choose to finish the event as a Cast Member (and will receive OC for doing so).
3. The Player may switch to an alternate character already created.
