Dual characters

Would their be any easy RP reason for two of your own characters to know each other seeing as they can never possibly meet. Like if I would want to have someone meet another character could I say something like "Oh yeah, what your organization stands for is interesting, I know this man named (Your other character) who might be interested in that." Because i have gotten into situations where I really want another of my characters involved in something but cant because of this little glitch. Or would it work in a lighter way with knowledge of a character that is a merchant such as. "Oh you are looking for a wand, well I heard of (Your other character) who has some good deals on wands and other items. You should see him."

This can lead to some very sticky and sketchy situations. We ask that players with multiple characters not have inter-character interaction. It can not only get confusing, but gets borderline metagamey of OOC information about other characters knowledge and actions.

Don't use one of your own characters to benefit another of your own characters.

You should be using your own characters to benefit OTHER people's characters.
