Topic: Out of Character


  
 Out of character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Out of character (sometimes abbreviated to OOC) is a phrase used in entertainment and role-playing to differentiate between a person playing a character and the character itself.
The term does not usually apply to a character acting a certain way which is later explained in secret history, or to characters so minor little of their source personality is ever well-known.
OOC is not always negative; in monologues, for example, an author may attempt to explain, via either a self-conceived history or from previous events in the canonical series, a character's actions.
