No. The character created in a game is a series of decisions, what
they have, what they kill, what they do, who they know, etc. In your
example, its treated as a finished product. But it's not. It's more
like a half-finished painting.. Now a new artist has it, to continue
putting the paints on the canvas. From that point forward, that
'character' is not the same as it would have been with the original
player/artist.
