Apparently I'm ancient, for I'm astonished that "tabletop/face-to-face" isn't an option for "where you RP". I don't roleplay online, only face-to-face. Apparently different things go in online games, because playing an OC is not only acceptable, it's incredibly presumptuous in any tabletop game I've ever been involved in to ask to play a canon character. The "stars" of the fandom are GM characters and tend to make little more than a cameo appearance. Outrageous, scene-stealing characters that consistently shift the action away from the rest of the party, though, are bad etiquette in any RPG.
