Putting a face to the name

Hi there! I'll try to answer your questions the best I can.

1) Some people do add a character picture with their posts (I usually do so for the first post and then not include it for the rest since it's in the thread already), and we usually encourage members to include a name somewhere in their posts (especially if they write in first person).

2) Yes, you can use any picture format (.jpg, .gif, .png, etc...) as long as it's in the tags.

3) Rule of thumb is to keep the point of view the same within the thread. However, you should work out with the person you're role-playing with for that. Usually, the two of you can work something out, but if you can't, then I advise either adapting or just RP-ing with someone else.

4) No. In order for someone to kill your character, they need your expressed permission. The only time people can randomly kill is in the Games, but the tributes' owners have already accepted that their character may die.

Hope this answers your questions!
