What Is In Character?

4.7BRAINROT SCORE

In Character The default state of an AI roleplay where the AI stays consistently within its defined character, as opposed to breaking to OOC — the baseline the whole interaction is supposed to maintain.

Origin:Roleplay-community counterpart to OOC, naming the desired default state rather than the exception, since it only becomes worth naming once staying in it is a live concern.
