# TOS on Character IP Ownership

As you can see below, the Syndicate is attempting to now claim ownership of characters within the Syndicate. Setting clear lines in which what they own and what they do not own on their character.

Realistically it is for you yourself to determine where the boundaries of IP's may be made, but it is a very disconcerting feature after being caught following up with players who have left the Syndicate to ensure they didn't use the same character as in the past.

In the past we have seen them go after characters before with conflicts of IP.

With the prescience established above, I believe it is fairly safe to assume that this is not a declaration to set a clear definition of what is Mortisian Syndicate IP and player IP but instead an overstepping of their implied authority over what they own on a character. While this TOS wouldn't hold up in a court of law, it is another tactic employed by the Syndicate to discourage dissent and control the freedom of former Mortisians.

Don't forget about the best part! If you sign up with your character, your email is now in the public domain tied to your username! Better have yourself a good password cause that's a vulnerability exposing all of their users! And from checking the list so far from what is registered, it seems a ton of people include their legal names in their email. Something to keep in mind.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://info.mortisian.com/tos-on-character-ip-ownership.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
