1. Milliways was my first. I tried out Charlie and some other characters in [livejournal.com profile] fandomhigh and [livejournal.com profile] otherways. Jack Green actually started in [livejournal.com profile] divinsanity, but that game's been dead for years. I have a character in [livejournal.com profile] handfulof_dust, which is an OC game, but I don't play there much: I don't think I can RP original characters very well. And I was in [livejournal.com profile] theoneagency for a few months, but it was hard to follow: everything happened in AIM and nobody posted their logs. V. frustrating. I've messed around in [livejournal.com profile] mixed_muses and [livejournal.com profile] defy_ka. I'm currently just in Mways and [livejournal.com profile] theinternetcafe: just passed my 1-year anniversary for that a few months ago. I tried out Ianto in a bunch of different games when I first started playing him and TIC is the one that stuck.

Oh, and I've also played tabletop D&D, which is a whole 'nother animal.

2. I don't think I've had a problem with it when I've had multiple versions of characters: I tend to start from the same place and then their game-canons diverge, so what's fundamentally them remains the same. I play Ianto in both Mways and TIC, and I'm starting to notice bigger differences between them than I expected. Mways-Ianto is younger, has more canon backstory and is darker and more screwed-up than TIC Ianto, but while they share the coffee and suits I'm not going to forget, for example, that TIC-Ianto has a big family and Mways-Ianto has none. That's part of their stories: it's kind of like playing characters who happen to have the same name and job, but nothing else in common. *flaily* I don't know how to explain it, really.

3. Nope, sorry.
