All right, after my thinking I have come to the following conclusion:
If I see no issues standing, I will obtain a second account to play my current one on request, the assistant character would certainly be the main one.
The only possible issue I can see currently is the timezone difference. I live in the CEST timezone, or GMT + 2, while you live in the USA, which varies from -4 to -7 GMT. This means to feasibly roleplay on weekdays at your times, you must be online from sometime shortly after noon, or I must play very late, which my current schedule doesn't allow. On weekends this poses no problem.
If there is a way to circumvent this problem or it is only required that I play on weekends, I will in all probability apply for this position.
