Message: <blockquote data-quote="Majoru Oakheart" data-source="post: 2423893" data-attributes="member: 5143">About the same as if any other character had it happened to me, not really caring.  The character stopped being mine when I stopped playing him.  I'm not control of him any more so I don't really care what happened to him.I don't worry about things I can't control.  I can't control what the DM does with my character once I stop playing him, so I don't worry about it.I have played a character named Majoru Oakheart in no less than 5 or 6 D&D games (and 2 MMORPGs).  I also played the son of Majoru Oakheart in another game.  Sometimes Majoru switches classes, sometimes he switches abilities slightly.  I'm sure at least one of those DMs had something happen to Majoru after I left their game.  I have no idea what it is, though, nor do I care.  Some alternate version of Majoru did something while I wasn't controlling him?  Well, that's not my problem, I'm busy playing a NEW Majoru Oakheart with a slightly different background, different friends, and a different quest.  The character is always very similar to his old selves, but never exactly the same anyways.I like to think that Majoru is seperate from me, what he does is independant of me.  I may control his actions for a while, but he is not me nor am I him.  He had a history that I may have invented before I started playing the game, but I didn't have control over him during that time, he lived his own life.  Now I control him, then when I stop, someone else might control him.  That is the way of characters in a role playing game.I like him enough as a character, that even if he fell to evil, became sour and went on a killing rampage, I'd still find a challenge and an interest in playing or hearing about THAT version of Majoru.</blockquote>
