Missing Roleplayers

Missing role-players can be quite a common occurrence, this page will explain what is done with those characters until their return, and how they are saved.
Whether or not a missing roleplayer leaves and lets everyone know that they aren't coming back or just leaves without notice, characters are saved on their own book for their possible return. in universe, when roleplayers leave without notice, their characters go missing or go lost, while people who leave with notice that they will not be returning, their characters leave the clan to become loners or die (with consent from the roleplayer). these are the best in-universe explanations for characters missing, especially if they have big roles.
when a roleplayer shows signs of activeness whether that be through the wikia or the original site, their characters are immediately restored to their previous roles for them. when a roleplayer who states that they won't be returning comes back, their characters will not be restored to their previous roles unless the roleplayer wants them to come back. there are NO punishments for role-players that have left, as anyone should have the freedom to come and go as they please, as well as life events sometimes get in the way, their characters should always be saved regardless.
when a roleplayer is banned for misbehavior, their characters are exiled from the clan or removed from existence altogether, the roleplayer nor their characters are ever allowed to come back, however, another note that when a roleplayer is banned it is considered disrespectful to adapt or roleplay their characters without their consent, as their characters are still theirs and will leave with them when they go.
there should be templates stating when a roleplayer has gone missing that is significant to the character or their story, and another one for when the roleplayer has returned, it should also be backed up with in-universe explanations, however.
