# Realistic Characters

{% hint style="success" %}
Ensure characters are realistic and well-developed, with believable motivations and backstories.

Consistency & Development: Characters should maintain consistent personalities and evolve based on their experiences. A law-abiding citizen should not abruptly turn into a criminal without a significant, well-constructed narrative arc.

Actions & Consequences: Decisions should have in-character repercussions. Characters must not act as though they are invincible and should carefully consider the risks of their actions.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Prohibited Characters:\
\
Joke/Troll Characters: Made just to disrupt or act unrealistically.

"Throwaway" Characters: Created to cause chaos or die without meaningful roleplay.

Conflict-of-Interest Characters: A character can't be both a law officer and a criminal at the same time, nor hold roles in multiple emergency departments. A strong redemption story is needed to go from criminal to law-abiding.
