WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION:
I've been contemplating this for a while now after realizing by a certain issue. While having a single suspended character, I noticed that the role restrictions don't just impact that one character but affect my entire account. I believe there's an opportunity to revamp and separate the school records for each character.radicalrainbow

WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION:
By having distinct school records for each student character a player possesses, regardless of rank, it would enhance roleplay flexibility. For instance, Character A, aiming for a position in college, could coexist with Character B, a member of a gang causing disruptions within the school. With individual records for each character, a player can navigate diverse situations without the actions of one rebellious character tarnishing the record of another non-rebellious one.
I'm not the only player considering this potential change for the server. I've discussed it with several friends who also play with more than 1 or 2 characters and face challenges roleplaying with one due to a bad record caused by the behavior of another.
I'd also like to also put down the thoughts of other players, who will remain anonymous.
____________________________________________________________________
- I would say that the detention records in school, i.e. /records should be different with each character. It's like how they do descriptions seperate. This way it would be fair to each new character. Right now, all my characters have unique personalities, however all of them are under threat of suspension thanks to the combined detention score.
- it would take more commands, but doesn't it seem unfair that everyone, especially those with higher ranks, have multiple characters, with multiple personalities making it so their records would be wildly different? The current process and rules for records also keeps other characters who aren't problematic ICLY to lose their chance to get into college or any roleplay benefits they might have deserved to receive.
- It affects every character, especially those characters that would never have a detention or suspension from not just their personalities but also them as a whole! Especially with the large range of characters people can have especially with high ranks like Omega+. There are so many types of shy quiet characters, too the gangsters, and jocks. The one set record per player affects each of them no matter who they are and what trouble they cause or not, which we feel can be circumvented.
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER/COMMUNITY?:
In conclusion, the players who have left their opinions above and I have come to infer on how this would benefit the server and community as a whole. There are plenty of examples on the server of players that may be struggling from the current system in which the records of characters are handled. It would allow for more flexibility between characters, as the player would not have to stick to one way to roleplaying or restricted personalities for their characters just so they don't have a character that follows rules in trouble. My characters I'll use for an example are Crimson 'Ichor' Mortov and Kira 'kiki' Chromia. Crimson is currently suspended and is heavily involved in criminal activity being present in a gang. Kira is the complete opposite as she's a simple caring individual, but while I'm playing her I cannot enter or leave the school due to Crimson's suspension affecting it, despite Kira having nothing to do with the incident. I'm fairly certain that if one were to ask around the server, many would come to the same conclusion we have.
For a simple example using a friend's school record, the left image would be inserted as Crimson 'Ichor' Mortov's record, with her many detentions and suspension. And the right image inserted as Kira 'kiki' Chromia's record, no detentions and attended classes as a decent student.

Possible Cons to this suggestion:
2- While transitioning to separate character records could be a significant change, the benefits could outweigh the challenges. Providing an option to retain the current record and assign it to a specific character slot might be a viable compromise.
3- Additional considerations may arise over time, and it's possible that more aspects too this idea will surface in the future.

Smaller suggestions in addition:
1- ability to change which is your primary character slot
2- redoing the records to be apart of the character desc?
example- [character name] [age] [description] [Biography] [classes attended] [detentions] [suspensions] [Education credits]
Of course, this may be edited in the future!! I'd love to see other's opinions on this suggestion if you so put it down below <3
