It is OK for a user to play multiple characters simultaneously. However, such characters must be played as completely separate entities. It is illegal for characters of the same user to unfairly cooperate with or give aid to each other as anything other than an aid, apprentice, or the like, or to share information with each other that would not normally be shared. Users of multiple characters should be warned that they will be held to a high standard in this regard, and that such users' characters may be expected to operate separately even when it would normally be to their advantage to work together. Again, users who violiate this rule may be banned from the board.
