Character

Characters are primarily used in roleplay as representatives of their respective nations or ideologies: envoys, government ministers, heads of state. Since every citizen of your nation comes under your RP jurisdiction, however, it is legitimate to create and run characters with marginal or no political involvement, purely to add depth to your roleplayed nation. It is considered bad etiquette, however, to create or appropriate characters from other nations without permission.

Occasionally characters will slip over to the gameplay side of things, as puppet nations carry the name of a character and the player/character begins to interact in one of the many gameplay modes.

Most characters can be found in the NationStates and International Incidents forums, though several have been seen in the UN and General forums as well.
