As a long time victim writer with habs and Zera, I can safely say they have not taken over anyone's character, or thrown them into an unexpected situation without consulting them first. That being said, if you are ever in need of feedback, or are just looking for some input regarding my own character, feel free to send a note. I do have most forms of communication available, but if you're only willing to send PMs via the forum, I can work with that as well. They gave me choices (I chose to send Kyra back early-she might have died otherwise), and gave me the opportunity to create what would happen when my character was possessed by the unsent. It gave an opportunity for character development that I never even knew existed.

My writing style would typically include third person, but I only write Kyra's (as well as Diablos) thoughts as I see fit. As the writer myself, I know more is going on in the story, and how Kyra will react is based on her being kept in the dark until something is said by another character, hopefully keeping it authentic in that sense. If I need an action regarding someone else's movements, I will ask. I do expect the same from others as well. Kyra is also rather observant, so based on body language and facial expressions, she can gauge the situation accordingly. Heartless, I assume Steele is similar to that effect as well.

To answer the question, Kyra is kept on a need to know basis, as that's what I've been used to. As the writer, I like knowing a bit ahead of time as we have been doing lately, but going forward, I don't expect to learn major plot points until I'm allowed to know them ^^. It's for the sake of the story, really.
