Hypothetical Situation (General RP Poll)

[Moka]

Well they do have a say, Snowy. It's their character and to use it without their permission is borderline character theft as Amanda said.

Awesome post Lodrill. I think your idea of fading the character away would probably be the best method. These guidelines...
[quote="Lodrill"]I would never kill a character if the player does not want to.
The character belongs to it's player and not to the storyteller (plot owner).
The storyteller can decide to kick someone out and write a lead out of the character (maybe the character gets banished).
The storyteller also may forbid actions (like magic, or killing off an important NPC or so) and edit where players are trying to force the story into a direction the storyteller does not want to.
But the only one who has the right to decide if a character dies or get lost is the owner of this character. (Even if the character gets badly injured is up to it's owner.)

Everything about the plot (story) is in the responsibility of the storyteller.
Everthing about the character is in the responisibility of the owner of the character.[/quote]
...help a lot. Thanks!

Thanks for all the opinions and ideas, guys!
