General rules
1. Defection approval is not automatic. Please do not take it personally if your request is sent back for revision or rejected. Defections are meaningful and important, and thus, not common.
2. You must submit a defection application to the app boxes for both the faction you are leaving and the faction you are joining. You must have this APPROVED before beginning the plot.
3. You need the approval of three people to defect. They are:
- The administrator of the faction you are leaving.
- The administrator of the faction you are joining.
- The leader of the faction you are joining.
4. You may need a TP to join officially. These do not have to be large, and the requirement varies; a civilian joining the Repliforce may not need anything beyond a little swearing-in scene with an officer, while a Repliforce officer joining the Mavericks will likely require a plot.
Specific rules for various faction:
Civilians
When a character defects into the Civilian faction, their stats, abilities, and attacks will be downgraded by the civilian wizard to fit a non-military standard when appropriate. This may not happen if the character is joining a civilian sub-faction with some access to military equipment, such as the Irregulars.
Hunters
You are asked to join the Hunters; no other method is allowable. A certain amount of OOC discussion and expression of interest may be done, if necessary; if an offer is extended ICly, you are not required to accept it. An invitation will require several notable events in your RPed history (as opposed to unplayed backstory) and is at Hunter discretion.
Hunters who defect to the Mavericks waive condeath. (Read news condeath.)
Mavericks
Read through news mavericks; these apply to all Mavericks. Joining the Mavericks is generally permanent, as you are joining the enemies of the present world order. Becoming a Maverick is often a good reason to change your character's name (with staffer approval). Mavericks may defect from the Mavericks, but this is exceedingly rare.
Neo Arcadia/Umbrella
Neo Arcadian e-human characters or Umbrella biomonsters cannot defect from the faction. The factional infrastructure is the only place where these characters can be maintained. Attempting to leave the faction waives your condeath. (Read news condeath.) If you leave, you will die as your body consumes itself and you very rapidly go mad.
Repliforce
Repliforce has a standard that all recruits must meet, physically, emotionally and mentally. Only Reploids and bioroids may join Repliforce proper; STARS, however, is capable of accepting humans and cyborgs.
Other
It is possible to defect from more than one faction over time, if it obeys the rules above. Generally, defections should have a long period between them.
Examples:
- Civilian -> Repliforce -> Hunter
- Repliforce -> Hunter -> Maverick
- Hunter -> Repliforce -> Civilian
It is possible to 'defect backwards' if the faction will take you back. This will depend on your behavior and the nature of your departure. Joining the civilians still requires you to speak to your current faction admin and your current faction leader, and you are likely to have your heavier weapons impounded.
Defection Application
1. Why do you want to defect? Give both IC and OOC reasons why you wish to leave your current faction AND join the new one. These should be as specific as necessary.
2. What changes, if any, will the defection have in the character's personality and interactions with others? Give as much detail as necessary.
3. What changes, if any, will be made in the character's +finger and stats? (You should probably rewrite your profile in this situation.) Justify any alterations in combat abilities or new abilities as per an attack application.
4. Describe your plan for the defection, including an outline of any significant plot elements.
When finished, send this to the app box for the faction you are presently in AND the faction you intend to join. Thank you for your time!
