Realistic Reactions, Injury & Fear

Character Guidelines for Roleplaying Injuries and Threats

Injury Role Play

• Acknowledge and React: Roleplay the effects of injuries realistically. Minor cuts cause discomfort, while a gunshot wound should be severely incapacitating.

• Progressive Recovery: Show realistic recovery over time; instant healing is not permitted.

• Fatal Incidents: Acknowledge that fatal injuries lead to permanent character death.

Fear Role Play

• Realistic Reactions: Display genuine fear in life-threatening situations.

• Priority on Survival: Avoid unrealistic heroics, especially when outnumbered or unarmed.

Value of Life

• Survival Instincts: Characters should prioritize their survival naturally.

• Avoid Recklessness: Do not engage in life-threatening actions without a compelling in-character reason.
