[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9281663, member: 7044462"] It matters. For starter, you can use force to defend your material possessions. You can't use force to defend your imaginary possessions. I mean, you could probably but it would be fun case in court. Yes. While you play, you can use it however you wish. But once you leave, your character isn't erased from game world or collective memory of players still in the game. Copy of that character stays in the game. You still have your original sheet and ideas. And let's be honest. You cant stop people from using it if they wish. You can't use cease and desist if you haven't protected your work and don't know if someone is using your character in game which you are not part of. I'm playing a bit of a Devils advocate here to be honest. I never met or played with anybody who cared about their character that much so this whole thread is a bit of a mental exercise. [/QUOTE]
