LOL, I remembered I'd written a post about characterization a few years ago, and I went back and found it, and discovered I'd broken it down like this:
There are three definitions that are being used:
1. "Out of character" would be something that character wouldn't do -- that's how Justin used it in 314.
2. "Out of character" would mean the character doesn't sound/move/feel like the character -- the "voice" is off, the dialogue is off, whatever.
3. "In character" includes a different characterization as long as it's explained -- "That's how Justin would have turned out if he were abandoned as a child and raised by wolves."
