Interesting scenario just came up:
Some time ago (I don't know how long ago), tiffac claimed Char's Deleted Affairs Haman. Now, this is the same Haman that Quattro claimed some time before that, but younger and having a much different personality.
How would that be handled under these new proposed rules we're trying to put together? (Speaking of that, how would that be handled under the current rules?!)

I think it's just flat-out illegal, only no one's ever complained.

If I recall correctly, the only rule currently being used in the ARC is this: both players involved with a character must be happy with their arrangement.
Case in point, Quattro and Tiffac had no problems with each of them owning 1 version of Haman, so there were no issues.

Here's a turning point of issues to simplify matters...
Owning characters owned by other characters(or exists in sidestories/alternate universes) both people should agree in terms of their usage and therefore conclude the matter simply. Instead of angsting "I own [insert character name here]" why not just agree to certain terms if not then the player who first got them owns them so as not to prolong issues seeing that the SCW sometimes has Multiple dimensions/alterverses which makes other characters exists via choice of the RPer.
As for the name ownership, i guess some points from above statement can be implemented to simpify matters though to clear this, the username with that character name is given privilage as well as the former owner. Both persons involved should just simply talk this over and at least gain both privilage to the said character.
There i hope that wraps this up. ;D

I agree with Signal. While I do think that the protection proposal is a good idea, I think that some people are a little too attached to their characters sometimes. I think this is an issue that has so many cases to consider that it would be best if we didn't restrict character ownership so much. It's best that people who want to use the same non-original character should talk it over and agree on their own usage terms.

Ideally, it's best to use all original characters, yes. (All my important characters are original, anyway) Unfortunately, not everyone can or is willing to do that.

I'm going to have to disagree here. The SCW is built within the framework of the SRW series and, while we don't quite follow SRW canon, there are times when a non-original character is going to be important to a storyline or something.
Also, outside the SCW, there's the novelty of owning the pilot of a unit as well as the unit itself, and that's fun for some people.

That's exactly why I said that not everyone is willing to do that. I don't intend to put any restrictions on getting non-original characters. Again, I think that it's best that we have limited protection for a few very important non-original characters. As for the rest of our characters, come up with a compromise in case another person wants to use him or her. Of course you're not always obliged to allow that player to use the character in question. The bottomline is, if both players are willing to share the character under a mutual agreement, that's fine with me.
