🧠 The New Life Rule (NLR)

1. In Phantom State, life is fragile, and death reshapes the story. Treat every moment like it matters — because it does. The city remembers, even when you cannot.

   ❤️ Value Your Life

   Your character is not a superhero — they are human, mortal, and vulnerable.

   • Fear death. React with self-preservation and caution when threatened.

   • If you are outnumbered, outgunned, or outplayed, your character should act accordingly — not recklessly.

   • Comply when held at gunpoint. Running or fighting in clear disadvantage is FailRP.

   If you wouldn’t do it in real life, your character shouldn’t either.

   💀 The New Life Rule (NLR)

   When death finds you — or when you choose to respawn at the hospital using ‘E’ — a new chapter begins, and the previous one is lost to time.

   • Once you respawn, your character forgets all details of how they died, who was involved, and what happened.

   • You cannot discuss your death IC unless the information is shared with you through roleplay (e.g., "I found your body" or "Here's what happened").

   ⏳ Post-Incapacitation Restrictions

   After you’ve been downed (even if revived):

   • 30-Minute Scene Return Rule: You may not return to the scene for at least 30 minutes — this includes looting, witnessing, or wandering.

   • 60-Minute Revenge Rule: You may not take hostile action against the people who downed you for 60 minutes, and only if you have new IC justification.

   • RP Motivation Reset: You lose all in-character reasons for revenge or retaliation after death — unless re-informed or re-exposed through RP.

   🚫 Post-Scene Behavior

   If the situation is over and you were downed:

   • You may not return to collect evidence, loot bodies, or "investigate" what happened.

   • Your character's focus should shift to recovery, fear, or caution — not vengeance or clean-up.

   Death is not a setback — it's a shift in your story. Embrace the unknown.
