Salutations!
It has been a while indeed since I've engaged with the Role-playing Community of World Forty-two, however after an interesting discussion with a friend of mine on Character Consent I thought to crawl out my hole and perhaps generate some discussion on this rather old school style of Role-play that was once abundant in World Forty Two back in the day.
In the passing years recently of late, I have noticed that character consent has become a more increasingly prominent thing among Role-play Communities which also subsequently endorses the mixing of In Character and Out of Character in most cases I've faced in its abuse. One example I could provide is where it is commonly forced for another to had asked the Role-player for their consent to otherwise harm or kill their character and if that Role-player attempted to do so to the character without it then it would result in the individual being ignored.
I always felt character consent was a mutual Out of Character understanding between two Role-players as to make the experience for both parties enjoyable. That although you didn't need to extend the courtesy of asking the Role-player for their consent to inflict harm or even kill their character that it was ultimately the more polite thing to do and was something which other Role-players would respect you for if you did. Whilst those that did not cooperate or sympathise with the Role-player were certainly inconsiderate and mildly disrespectful to kill off their character without much thought to what the Role-player may have felt or wanted for that character ultimately was fine albeit they'll find themselves hated by the Role-play community fairly quickly if they kept it up.
