Well the canon characters aren't someone else's characters, they're open for anyone to use. Just think of their personalities from the game (or if you didn't get to experience them, read their descriptions in the OP) and be creative! That's what RPing is all about, being creative, so don't worry about having to bring the NPC's to life. Plus nobody is going to be putting words into your character's mouth; the role player's main character can only be used by the role player who created them, unless they give permission to someone else to use their character.

I did not create the NPCs, therefore my point still stands... They were created by somebody else. whether the person who made them is in the RP or not I have trouble when it comes to controlling anyone/thing I didn't create myself.
