Fear RP

All characters must show realistic fear for their lives. While characters may not permanently die unless conditions are met, they must act as if life-threatening situations carry real consequences. Your character should not always act fearless or heroic—you can’t be a hero every time.

---

Key Guidelines:

• You must consider injury, death, or legal repercussions when your life is on the line

• Recklessly ignoring threats without fear is not permitted

• Law enforcement have limited exceptions during active duty but must still act with reasonable caution

• If your character has a legitimate backstory (e.g., ex-military, combat-trained), the Fear RP rule still applies—you must choose your actions wisely and realistically

Valid Situational Response: If an opportunity arises and you are not in immediate danger (e.g., attacker is distracted or disarmed), your character may choose to fight back.

Example of Proper Fear RP: Subject A is cornered in an alleyway by four gang members, all armed and pointing guns.

Subject A complies with all commands and remains cooperative, showing fear for their life and understanding the overwhelming threat.

Example of Reasonable Exception: Subject A pulls a knife on Subject B.

Subject B, an ex-military character, assesses the threat and engages in a fight only because the situation is survivable and not overwhelmingly one-sided.
