Re: A few questions on multiple accounts . . .

I'd say that if you used your Teneka-Chan account to work to your other character's advantage i.e. making one character help another in a RPG (or save a character from dying, for example) and confusing other people into thinking you are different people might be drawing the line. What exactly are you using the account for?

Re: A few questions on multiple accounts . . .

If you're using the account to be an RPG character, that shouldn't be a problem. It's only an issue if you impersonate other users with it.

Faking your identity would only happen if there was another user that you were trying to play, or you were using your roleplaying for malicuos purposes. As long as its just having fun, I think you have nothing to worry about.

On Teneka-Chan, I act like I am my RP character, and will sometimes post her in-RP status on this account through projects, and post comments through her point-of-view. However, when I think it's important that it's clear that it's her POV, such as when I say her age or remark her history, I mark it as in-character.

Was that unclear? If so, sorry =u='

I think it's fine to act like a character as long as you don't attack anybody through that character or something like that.

I agree; as long as you don't do anything hurtful, take it too far or try to convince people that it's your actual personality, I don't see any thing wrong with it.

Re: A few questions on multiple accounts . . .

Multiple accounts only really become a problem when people use them to game or confuse the community. As long as you don't deny the connection between the two accounts, or actively pretend that you are two different people (i.e. by staging a conversation between the two accounts) you will be fine.
