Managing Characters

Handle multiple slots, switch actives, and retire characters cleanly.

Slots & limits

  • Free tier: 1 character slot.
  • Premium: up to 5 slots (if enabled on your account plan).
  • Each character has independent Energy, cash, skills, career, and wiki page.

Switching active character

  • Go to /account/characters to switch the active slot.
  • Active character controls which actions you can perform (music, business, politics) and which wiki profile you act as.
  • Switching does not consume Energy or cash.

Retiring a character

  • Retire from the characters page. Retired characters free the slot for a new one.
  • Retirement is final for that character; progress and holdings are archived.
  • Choose carefully if the character holds office, businesses, or songs.

Best practices

  • Specialize each character: one politics-focused, one business, one music, to avoid skill dilution.
  • Stagger Energy: when one is empty, switch to another to keep playing.
  • Keep names distinct to avoid confusion in wiki and feeds.

Where to go next

Tips & Tricks

  • Rotate during regen: switch to another character when Energy hits zero.
  • Keep roles clear: one character per domain avoids attention dilution.

FAQ

  • Does retiring free the slot immediately? Yes; progress is archived and the slot opens right away.
  • Can I un-retire? No. Create a new character instead.
