Emergancy DE: Just out of true

[bjornwilde]

How far do you feel comfortable taking your character away from established canon within Milliways?*

*And just to be safe, as far as I'm concerned, there is no wrong answer here, just player comfort.

For me, the point that feels too far always seems to be putting my character in a position where they can never return to their canon. With the kinds of characters I choose that doesn't really come up. None of them would ever willingly leave their worlds. So the Allpocalypse provided some fascinating strains as William wasn't sure if he'd ever get back home. Also I almost always choose to play characters through canon when I can as I love missing moments and seeing how Milliways changes their journey. I don't know if I could ever manage playing a dead character, its not the way I think about characters. Some don't have that as much but Demeter still has her land and daughter to return to.

I've found that some of the crackier plots usually help me get a better sense on who the character as its a way to figure out their essence. I also love cross-world romances and crossovers, because again there's something about the other world that actually helps me understand the character better.
