A character vacation is a break away from your current character without giving up the first character (per the rules, you can only have one Sindome character). The automatically generated vacation character is completely independent in knowledge, experience, history, family, etc from your primary character. The minimum duration of your vacation is 6 months. When you begin your vacation, your current character will be kicked off, have its password changed and you'll need to login as the vacation character whose login credentials are automatically given to you. What was your current character (aka your primary character) will not be able to login.
Please note the following when considering a Character Vacation:
-> You only get one Vacation Character, per character. -> Your character must be a year old to take a vacation. -> You will automatically get your new Vacation Character when your original character goes on vacation by boarding the flight. -> There is no scripted or coded IC vacation experience beyond boarding your flight. This will be improved at some point, but please feel free to RP your vacation as you deem appropriate upon your return. -> UE does not carry over between your primary character and your vacation character
IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE Please DO NOT vacation your character if you have recently made a large kill or RP situation that would have follow-up RP. This takes away the fun from everyone and halts any RP that could have happened. It's bad form, if you have doubts then feel free to xhelp to get confirmation that it's okay to Vacation.

VACATION LENGTH AND LIMITS
You may only return from a vacation character to your original character after a minimum of ~6 months. We are not currently placing limits on how long you may remain on your vacation character. If you choose to remain on the vacation character for 2, 3, or 4 years, that is acceptable.
Please note that when returning from your vacation character to your main character, you may need to go through the process of getting a job again, reestablishing connections, and getting situated in the world. You may return to a world that is very different than the one your character left. We will not hold employment positions indefinitely for characters that are not playing.
That being said, the staff will work with you in the lead up to your return to help figure out a return plan, should you so desire, though no promises are being made as to what the GMs will be willing to allow upon return.
NEVER GOING BACK
If you decide you never want to go back, you can speak with staff and let them you that you plan to stay on your vacation character permanently. Your old character will be reaped. You will not receive any UE carryover as a result. You will then be eligible to take a new vacation character after 1 year on your current one.
ENDING YOUR VACATION
Vacations are at a minimum 6 months long. This is to prevent people taking vacations willy nilly, which adds a staffing burden.
In order to return to your primary character, your vacation character must make a Cyberpunk Exit. Exceptions to needing to perma-kill may be made under specific circumstances at the discretion of the GMs, but these are few and far between.
Let the GMs know you plan to perm your character. Plan a fitting exit for the character. Ensure that you have wrapped up IC plots, and then execute (no pun intended).
When your character is permed you may xhelp and ask to be allowed to return to your original character. *Last Updated: 03/17/25 by Fengshui*
