(Sorry to respond with my writing journal, but I'm too lazy to log-out.)

Ah, by formal, I meant requiring logs (as in, third person RPing) and journals (first person rping within character journal). For some reason, the more informal rps just do rping in a central community like compound_rp, only without the logs) and don't do either journals or logs.

I figured as much; allowing for more than one version of each character is basically a staple of the dressing rooms. I'm not sure what else to add in that department, sorry.
