So, since this question came up on plurk and we wanted to get an official mod ruling I'm here to ask!
A few of us were wondering why we currently can't app original characters based out of a setting like an MMO if the character in question had no connections to any canon characters or canon events that wouldn't be widely available to any Average Joe Player Character?
An example being, Character A whose history involves dying in a large scale war versus Character B who is a malleable protagonist and experienced specific events only The Chosen One would ever see canonically.
In this case we're curious about the app-ability of a Character A and not a Character B. The most connection the OC would have to the canon would be info things like the names of cities, races, locations, conflicts, etc. Basically stuff you could find & replace and swap names heheh. Would this be allowed on a case by case basis where it's clear the character could exist standalone without conflicting with any potential future apps for canon characters?
