Talk:Consistency Requirements
The original intention was that all logs of prior RP are canon, and all future apps must support them, or creatively work around them with retroactive continuity.
No player would be bound to any elements of their character beyond what was established in their app and prior RP. No player would be bound to RP out a romantic connection, but those connections would be written out in cooperation with the affected players and staff mediation.

I feel that the only RP that a character should be tied to is logged RP, and even then if someone can make a compelling case how they feel prior RP choices were not in keeping with how they seem the spirit of the character it can be waived. Any personal RP of course no one should be bound to.
Honestly, I do feel that if a player is found to behave wildly out of character without a compelling reason in a log, that log should be purged, for that matter.
Of course, if a new player wants to talk to other players about previous RP and wants to maintain them, that is purely up to the players in question and allowable if everyone agrees.

I prefer the "logs and apps are canon unless you can give me a compelling reason otherwise" approach. People are going to want to play different variants of characters, but say, if someone apps in comic-based, adult, not insane Starfire and then drops and the next apper wants to make her the 12 year old psycho that is TeenTitans GO! Starfire, that's going to wreck the already established was she's been played prior. I feel like the ball should be played where it lies, unless there is an actual reason not to.
Obviously, work with dropping or whatever previous relationships as needed, no one should be forced into relationship RP. But I don't think I'm okay with "well I don't like that I'm picking up Starfire and she was previously dating Dick Greyson so I'm just going to write that out and it never happened". That's unfair to the theoretically Dick Greyson character who has been playing and assuming otherwise.
