If you go MIA, after 1 week and still no RP, anyone can have that character. Only NPC's are exempt from that rule, and retired characters. Also, MIA people don't get TP, the moment they go MIA they lose the TP if they are MIA on a sunday. They get no warning either.
Kiwi is Higgy, he helped run this place and also ran Dragon Ball Z: Assassins, a sister RPG. He was a good guy, and helped a bit. There was also Bardock and Turles as NPC's, but they are in high demand, so we let them go to be used. Retiring characters like that is just a way to show respect, because they did a lot to that character. If someone new joins as the character the whole story they created would be ruined. Sometimes we gotta let them go, though.

Well Reijin, Raditzu, Goku, Kami, Wafuru, VJ, Vegeta, and Metal Koola have been here a long time too.

I'm pretty much Burter too. I'll give him up when it's absolutely nessecary, but until then, I'm leaving him on the shelf. He's not exactly high demand.

Yea, no sweat. It's not much because I've done huge things with Burter, it's more to the point that without Burter, there is no Burter Jr, so whoever joins as Burter needs to be really, really good.
I'm picky like that.

BJ was given the privilage of being a custom, like Reijin. He did it the way he wanted, just as Rei did. Characters can have offspring, I know Rei (when he was Trunks) had a child with someone, and so did Selipa. You don't just get to be that child, only a select few will ever get the choice to be a custom.

Yea, I earned the privilage.
Burter was the last of his race. After his Super Kaioken training, he gave birth to Burter Jr, to "carry on the legacy." In FoFII, Burter was officially retired after sacrificing himself and I took up Burter Jr
When I find someone who I feel is up to the standards I'd want Burter to be at, I'll give him up.

Yo Stephen. I hope you realize that this is Tim here XD. We fused the two Trunks characters and I took the badguy. Though it was a large part a way to avoid me sitting on the important character.
Josh, aka (Goku Jr) at the time is now Goku. Though he's pretty inactive alot  However, he is a Scatman.
Um.. Yeah, the others are mostly gone. Sam is still Vejita, but he's constantly on the line of life/death.

The CC Bear. And our daily defender of Justice, hosted by the original Juugogou himself, Grand Master Oat, ala GMO. Remember the sign I made with the Oatmeal can going full circle around him? Lol.
That CC bear was all over stuff too. Alex had a blast with pics on that guy.

I kind of fall under the same issue with people coming back only to rp once to keep their character, sure they don't get TP, but that doesn't seem to matter to them. I've noticed individuals that had been on the MIA active check well over 5 times.
What I would suggest is this. Have a maximum number of times being allowed to go MIA per year....say 5 times. If they cannot do this, then they should have to give up their character. I'm slightly biased becuase I have no real life and am on almost all the time, but for some of the n00bs that join up and switch characters, it's kind of unfair.
