The concept is related to how the player is making decisions for the character. What is meant is that the player decides what the character will do solely based on the characterization of said character, some of which may be unrevealed to the group and so far only in the players head. Contrast this with making decisions about what the character will do for story reasons or because the player wants their character to have better gear, regardless of whether a character characterized thusly would do what is required to obtain said gear or really anything, like survivability. Most of us would say that’s playing a different character.  A character is more than revealed backstory and revealed characterization.</blockquote>
