Out of Character

Out of character (sometimes abbreviated to OOC) is a phrase used in role-playing to differentiate between the person playing a character and the character itself. When the person is being him-or-herself, rather than playing their character, he or she is said to be "out of character". Plainly, OOC refers to things said by the author of the message, rather than by the character(s) that author is playing. The opposite, when the person is acting as the character, is "in character" or IC.

OOC is strictly forbidden in #Broken_Dagger. If you wish to communicate OOC, please go to Broken Dagger's OOC channel, #BD_OOC.
