"I guess he's seeing things from a new angle, now."
Hee, I'm fairly opposite to that. I nearly always go for the serious realism aspect (though, admittedly, with situations and setups that you normally wouldn't find irl). . .one of the people I rp with regularly had to strongarm me into doing a comedic take on mercenaries. He went so left field. . .made an anthropomorphic rhino man who talks like mike tyson and wears a monocle that, we determined, gets destroyed in new and fun ways on every job.
But, eh, that's why I tend to sympathize more than empathize with characters. I haven't experienced many of the things the characters have (nor do I want to, ever, considering the crap I tend to put characters through), but darn if I just don't feel sorry for that rhino every time he is forced to interact with my character. >: )
