Regarding characters

It depends. If the RP of the NPC is going to tie in with your own character, and you continue to RP as your own character in the meantime, then it is alright.

Conditions set down on Bojack before (by Mario), and they seem entirely reasonable. Just try to make sure the two stories converge relatively soon, id est, not drag on forever with no intimate connection.

HF is right. Essentially, we'll make a judgement call. If it basically looks like you are trying to RP two characters, or cheat your way into roleplaying a custom character while your main character is a doormat, we'll axe you. If we can see that you are "taking a break to add some more depth with a sidestory regarding a common character that shows up regarding you, then that's fine.

Take Naruto for example. If you decided to play Naruto training with the pervert, and later decide to go down a trail of thought regarding a sidestory with him, showing him going about his daily business and maybe dealing with some loose ends that will help your character out, we'd be ok. If you say "Naruto iz trainin" once a week in three hundred words but then have Jiraiya (however its spelled, I'm tired) entering all competitions and then updating its Char Vault (contained in your own) more often than your real one, we eat you.
