Ha! I can tell I have pride of ownership. I'd argue that stats are ephemeral, but the backgrounds are the things that make those characters work.
I was thinking the same thing I think mudbunny's just clarified an important point, though - there's a difference between "I'd like people to change the backgrounds" and "I'd like people to change the backgrounds if they'd like".
I don't think it's unreasonable giving people a chance to personalise, but I figure most of us will keep the major points intact to preserve the interlinked relationships...
