That includes filtering out the details they would not care about, taking on their desires and emotions. Valuing the people they value. Trying to exist in the world as someone who fundamentally lives in it. I live in Denver. There are whole swathes of the city I have not seen or explored, nor will I ever. I have stuff going on, things I care about, stuff to get done. I exist in Denver, but I am immersed in it. I am immersed in my family, my friends, my job, my hobbies, my causes. The Denver I know is not the same Denver anyone else knows.For me to feel immersed in a character and their situation I need to feel like they have an independent existence from me. That I get chance to experience a moment in their life as them, but it's just a moment. They should have an independent animus, reasons to get out of bed in the morning and strive.Note: It is absolutely the case that some compromises will be made here (because game).</blockquote>
