# Respect Others and Their Characters

### Not everything is in **YOUR** control.

- ##### Don’t control other people’s characters without their permission (e.g., "Bob falls to the ground unconscious", unless you’re Bob’s player).
- ##### Always get **OOC** consent for certain themes, especially combat, death, injury, or romance. Players are **NOT** required to accept all themes.
- ##### Players reserve the right to remove themselves from roleplay that makes them uncomfortable in any way.

### You can’t control other people’s characters. Let them respond to what’s happening in their own way & respect their decisions.
