I'm the third player of the character Fionnlagh mentions. She's the char I began playing, not knowing the husband except through very casual observation on the channels-- the couple have ICly been in an arrangfed marriage for twenty years, they have three children including one grown.
I find that she's wonderful to play reactively (ie. stuff happens and she responds in role) but I have a harder time thinking about who she is when her family isn't around, especially now that her husband is imprisoned. I guess that's probably partly IC with her. Hm.
I think it would be very jarring to have different people play a character close to one of mine unless there was a reason for some IC personality change -- growing up, a religious conversion, etc. Players just have such different representational styles...
