I liked my "stop driving my car and stealing my character sheet" arguement better. oh wait<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> that's better, needed the little face.You know maybe a guy just doesn't care to have his character used after he has left, maybe he isn't that emotional about it but he just likes things the way they were, or maybe he just decided to say no off the top of his head, or maybe he is a psychopath who will hunt you down and kill you if he finds out his character did something in a game without him being there. Gee all the arguements fall apart when you think he might kill you. Who want's to risk that.  Maybe his character was a Chaotic Evil baby eater (can I copyright that as a prestige class?) and he's scared that the DM won't let the character eat enough babies as a NPC. Maybe he wrote the character in his own blood and feels that it is actually a extension of himself. or maybe the guy just wanted to let the character retire into obscurity for no reason better than he had some fond memories. First of all the situation was totally different so now we are talking about a theoretical person with a theoretical background and a theoretical personality. So in theory it's just to hard to say what's going on in his theoretical head. We cannot say that all people who don't want their characters used as NPC's are nuts, many probably are but not all of them. That's why it's best just to work around this and not make it into a big fight over who owns the character, theoretically of course.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
