This is actually a good question.
Ok, so we can't have people killing off main characters (main characters will be set by the creator when they kickstart the story) else we'll end up having a new main character in every part. 😆
If one main character is indeed killed off, then the story can shift to another main character. For eg. The creator may have started off the story with Captain America and Flash. You can kill off Captain America in your segment but will need to continue with Flash and add another character if you wish to. The next contributor can decide to bring back Captain America (by retconning) in their segment.
So I think we'll set a rule that the main characters are the ones established by the creator. Collaborators can add secondary characters/ conflicts but the story needs to focus on the main characters, their development arc, their growth, the resolution of their conflicts etc. Therefore, it also needs to be told from their PoV.. i.e the narrative will revolve around them.
So to answer the second part of your question, you do not have to include all secondary characters (mentioned in the previous segments) in your segment, but you do have to focus on the main character.
Does that make sense? If yes, I'll add this into the FAQs
