There MUST be a separation or you are doing harm.
Yes what Aya says.Â
If you play an obnoxious character and push it to cause problems, or try to break other characters up.. then say it is not you it is the character.. no dice.
From another angle, RP is a cooperative endeavour in which we are all essentially co-authoring a shared story in real time.
This is more about intent and responsibility to be a positive part of the shared story. And that can equally be a baddie as a goody character and action.
