Ghosts of Savannah is a story-driven roleplay environment built on trust, continuity, and shared narrative investment. Players may create and play alternate characters (“alts”), but their use must never undermine ongoing stories, other players’ experiences, or the integrity of the sim.
Alts are a privilege, not a workaround.
Your primary character remains your main narrative focus.
Alts must enhance the world, not dilute or shortcut it.
Information, influence, or advantage cannot bleed between characters in any form.
Disclosure Required
Players must inform the staff when creating or playing an alt. This allows us to track potential conflicts and ensure fairness across storylines. Undeclared alts are not permitted.
Primary Character Commitment
You may not abandon a primary character without coordination. If you wish to retire or stop playing a main character, staff must work with you to:
Resolve active storylines
Address consequences that affect other characters or factions
Provide narrative closure. Once a character is formally retired or removed, they cannot return to play.
If a character's disappearance affects a sim-wide storyline, staff reserves the right to determine the outcome and manner in which that character's fate is resolved.
One Main Character
Each player must clearly designate one character as their primary.
Storylines between a player’s characters must not overlap, intersect, or influence one another directly or indirectly.
We encourage storylines to be separated, but if because of bigger stories going on, they influence the other character, players will have to contact us (Dae or Leah) so we can establish the course of action.
Power Balance Requirement
Players may not maintain multiple high-level characters.
If your primary character is Expert, your alt must be Novice
If your primary character is Intermediate, a second alt may be Intermediate or Novice, the rest must be Novice
This ensures balanced play and prevents narrative dominance.
No Cross-Character Advantage
Alts may not be used to:
Gather information for another character
Influence outcomes across storylines
Circumvent consequences
God-mod, meta-game, or cheat in any form
Knowledge, relationships, and events are character-specific, not
player-shared.
Ghosts of Savannah thrives on slow-burn stories, consequence, and collaboration. Respecting these rules ensures:
Other players’ investment is honored
Stories retain emotional and narrative weight
The world remains immersive, fair, and cohesive
Failure to follow alt guidelines may result in staff intervention, character restriction, or removal from play.
If you’re ever unsure whether an alt concept or action crosses a line, ask first. We’re here to help you tell better stories, not stop you
from telling them.
