That ownership that we all can't help but feel toward our characters. That bit of self that’s in them. We don’t want to find out that our character (I think this is a big part of things. We all feel that sense of ownership over our characters. We can’t help it. They’re “ours”. There’s some bit of ourselves in them. We try to view the world through their eyes… to “be” them to some extent. So there’s a reflexive resistance to anyone or anything else telling us what our character thinks or feels. But I think that’s a product of that ownership more so than anything else. And I think that feeling of ownership is a different thing than being a person. I think to try and feel like someone rather than just choose things for them based on an internal model or whatever, we need to not be 100% in control… because people are not always 100% in control.</blockquote>
