Character Creation
Backup Characters and You
Your backup character is not "protected" by me until you control them due to primary character incapacitation, but they are generally "safe". That being said, this could lead to an interesting situation if your backup happens to be The Rogue when you are in The Donjon or The Void. I will inform you of this unlikely development, should it arise, and give you some options to encourage you to stab yourself in the back and have fun doing it.
Now, when I say "not 'protected'", I mean they do not have a degree of plot armor I am straight up giving you, and I feel nothing toward them but a vague desire to find an excuse to do them harm. My rules inform me that I am not out to get you, and I generally will not be aiming for you specifically when I aim at them. But if the logic of the story informs me that harm should befall them, well - I'm cocking the bolt action and looking at them through the crosshairs, eager for a clean shot, same as I would everyone stupid or unlucky enough to cross your main character's path.
It's your story, not theirs, after all.
On the other hand, they are your backups, likely have some significance in your story, and are potential future characters. So, if I aim for one (and The Flames and especially The Rogue both give me carte blanche to do so), I will do it without remorse. But it will not be fickle, or careless - their suffering will have purpose, and you will certainly have warning of it.
Seriously, though, do not automatically stab your backup if you draw The Rogue. Consider a warning stab to let them know who's in charge. Get some evidence first, you lunatic, and consider talking out their grievance first.
