Permissions Meme
This is essentially a questionnaire designed to cover all the possible scenarios your character might encounter while in Taxon. While most of the situations covered within should be plotted out OOCly before any IC action takes place, the answers are to act as a sort of barometer for how open you are to these things, to what extent, the basic information you think would be relevant to someone that would like to plot with you, etc.
Remember to always ask, always communicate, so that the game remains a fun place for everyone who plays here.
Please try to answer as fully as possible and go into as much depth as you feasibly can where necessary.
Copy/paste this into a post on your character journal. If at any time your answer to any of these questions changes, feel free to edit the change in and keep the permissions as up to date as you’re able.
