I kinda wrecked a campaign unintentionally by playing my character as faithfully to the idea I came up with as possible. Needless to say, I'm sort of sensitive to the idea of IC/OOC bleed causing people to get offended. I apologized a lot during that game and yet it didn't really make a difference. I think the other players felt threatened because I was playing very close to the lore and they wanted to do their own thing. I feel that I wasn't in the wrong, but even so, in future cases like this, I somewhat feel pressured to adjust my character as necessary to not cause unnecessary conflict. Since it isn't FFXIV related, I spoiler the anecdote. Show Content SpoilerAn Exalted campaign, where my character was a Lunar apothecary. In the setting, the superhuman Exalted fall into various camps, and the Lunars have a philosophical movement that encourages human independence from superpowered beings and gods. (Since the Exalted are not human really, this is kind of like a nurturing process.) My guy hated the idea of using supernatural powers to heal people because unlike medicine, they couldn't learn the ways of Essence use and therefore couldn't avail themselves of it without the aid of Exalts. The other characters in the game were much more positively disposed towards this, up to and including using magical charms to calm and convince people they would recover from their sickness, a form of mental control. Though I apologized profusely, my character couldn't have possibly seen this as anything but essentially Lawful Evil behavior, increasing the dependency of normal mortals on divine influence and hampering their development. It didn't hurt that my character's backstory made him disgruntled and lacking in bedside manner for a medical man. He felt snubbed by the Lunars because he was inducted into their ranks in a very rushed manner, for understandable reasons that he didn't know about. Thus he still maintained somewhat of a grudge and would have eventually gotten over it when he inevitably came around. After a particularly heated scene where my character brusquely called out a Lunar priestess for trying to garner worship amongst plague-sufferers for their goddess (Which is something Luna wouldn't want or care about in the lore.) because he felt that it was extorting worship out of the humans in exchange for medical aid, the campaign swiftly fell apart. I felt really bad about it, but despite being conciliatory OOC, the other players didn't want to play with me anymore. I think that I should have curbed my character's behavior IC to make peace, but at the same time, it just wouldn't feel right not doing what I set out to do. 「蒼気砲」を使わざるを得ない!
