We couldn't care less what happens with characters after we stop playing them. We had so many campaigns fizzle out after few sessions, i have full binder of barley played characters, both mine and my friends. Very few characters became memorable, and most that did, were meme characters. If i pull out some old character from 7-8 years ago and use it as a NPC, 99% percent of time no one remembers that character, who made it and for what campaign.Second, on rare occasions i do run game for a group that has strangers (usually friend of a friend or acquaintance of a friend), i don't usually allow switching characters mid campaign. Last time it happened, 2 players left due to real life circumstances. One after only 2 sessions, other after 5-6. I asked friend to ask them if they plan to return to game in near future, since i didn't know them and didn't have their number. One said no, other didn't say anything. So i made decisions for their characters that fit story narrative. I don't think they cared enough what happened to their characters, and i generally don't care if they have problem with me using their characters after they leave my game since they weren't my friends anyway.We had one guy in PF campaign who just stopped coming mid campaign. 11 levels, 35 5+h sessions  in, and he dips. Doesn't responds to messages in Signal group. Doesn't respond to individual messages. Well, F him. We used his character as a meat shield until he died and then raised him as bloody skeleton. If you couldn't be bothered to type simple message, why should we care about not using his character? Or DM?</blockquote>
