[@Deserted] Sorry this has gotten a bit meta for my taste. Wish you luck with your group, happy gaming!

The meta stuff's just a setup for why many of us will have basically the same character in many different worlds.  I don't think it will really affect anything.

It's kind of like Deadpool's fourth wall breaks.  Sure, he knows he's in a comic, but it doesn't affect the story much.
