[QUOTE="Magi_Gabriel, post: 3538946, member: 34598"] A noble from elsewhere: Yes. Member of the guard: Not really. Essentially you cannot have character with the authority and obligation to arrest people (or... things) in one of our rooms. It creates way too many problems with IC vs OOC authority and that you are basically representing the setting rather than a character. Nobody but Magi can enforce what the officials of a setting do that effects a room directly. That includes emoting in that the police are coming to arrest someone or that the city has made a declaration outlawing people with blue pants or anything of that nature. We allow people to play off duty and retired cops, federal police, military in TMP provided that these people remain off duty the entire time they're there. (So no arresting people, handing out fines, etc) Otherwise it simply creates too many problems with deciding if it was canonical, who should have the authority to place such a character and who shouldn't, and what to do if someone who should does something they shouldn't.
