| <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Hibernation">Hibernation</span></h2> | <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Hibernation">Hibernation</span></h2> |
| <p>Hibernation is a state that a character goes into which does not allow them to age, go hungry, or be attacked. It will allow you to select a date until the hibernation is over if the character has not been in character vs character violence in the last 7 days, but the date cannot be set less than a week away from the current date, or more than 2 months out. Once hibernation is set that character cannot be played until the designated date. A character may be removed from hibernation early via admin request and discretion. This will not be approved if it is to game a situation or to provide mechanical benefits. Hibernation is fit for taking holidays or for when real-life emergencies come up, or for taking a break from the game. While hibernating, though a character is impervious to harm, they can be moved by <b>anyone</b> regardless of group status or affiliation to other characters, so they are susceptible to becoming prisoners should any conflict arise in the player's absence. Hibernating characters do not regenerate health during hibernation and cannot be healed. Hibernation cannot be set if there is a militant group in the same location of the character or if the character is travelling on the road. Hibernation can also be induced by the game automatically under <a href="https://www.marosia.com/doku/doku.php?id=travel#Character_Crossing" title="Travel">certain circumstances</a> or for admin investigations. If you are unable to hibernate but need to due to a real life emergency or situation, please send in a report to the admin team for review. | <p>Hibernation is a state that a character goes into which does not allow them to age, go hungry, or be attacked but their mounts can be stolen and the character can be dragged freely irrespective of grouping. You can select a date of duration from 2 days to 2 months irrespective of travel, violence, poison, incapability or subdued states. If the character is incapable, subdued or poisoned, the timers associated with these (including old age) pause meaning you cannot wait these out through hibernation. Hibernation is to be used responsibly and is not a "get out of jail free" card. |
| | <p>Hibernations also occur automatically when crossovers occur and lift when the crossover has concluded. |

| <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Thoughts">Thoughts</span></h2> | <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Thoughts">Thoughts</span></h2> |
| <p>Character thoughts are saved to preserve mindset over time and as a way to prove character motivation when it comes into question during events. In order to view them, go to the "Actions" section, click the "Character" button, and click "Thoughts" which will be under the "Character Settings" section. Your thoughts will be saved after being submitted and will not be deleted as they will be there for display purposes. After reaching the max amount or 15 thoughts, the latest thought will remove the oldest one from view. | <p>Character thoughts are saved to preserve mindset over time and as a way to prove character motivation when it comes into question during events.

| | <p>Thoughts are not retained in the system once the character dies. It is recommended to keep a personal log if you want to access thoughts at any point, especially if you have gone over fifteen. |

| | <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Personality">Personality</span></h2> |
| | <p>The personality field on your character is a place for listing their base personality and can be developed over time similar to their description. It is imperative all characters have this filled out in case of staff investigations into motives and other issues. In order to access the box, go to "Actions", click the "Character" button and the personality box can be found below the description box. |
| | </p> |
| | <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Motivations">Motivations</span></h2> |
| | <p>Motivations can be found under the "Character" button via the "Actions" bar and is set between Thoughts and Hibernation. Motivations should be written each time your character acts outside of their standard behaviour portrayed in their personality. Motivations can be viewed by staff and staff characters to determine the reasoning behind actions that might not line up with expectations, though the legitimacy of your character's reasoning is not judged. Motivations can be written in the first or third person and similar to thoughts, the motivations tab will hold the fifteen most recent motivations recorded. |
| | <p>The following must always be recorded irrespective of character personality: |
| | <li>Stealing</li> |
| | <li>Attacking (not sparring)</li> |
| | <li>Trading</li> |
| | <li>Gifting</li> |
| | <li>Murder</li> |
