| - | You are allowed to include these themes in your character’s backstory, and these themes may form part of NPC backstories. This means that these themes may come up during the game as topics of conversation or things some characters handle, but will not be depicted beyond references in conversation. However, please remember that Transference is intended to be a relatively light-hearted (if bittersweet) game and some players may prefer not to interact with these themes. | + | You are allowed to include these themes in your character’s backstory, and these themes may form part of NPC backstories.

| * The Transference event could constitue a loss of bodily agency, since a transfer is relocated with no volition of their own, however, this is expected to be a unique incident. Whilst the environment may change in ways out of control to the characters, there should be no other incidences of loss of bodily autonomy. Manipulation of the mind is not expected to come up. The Dreamer and Touch The Veil quirks will allow more interaction with the existentially large cosmos, which is outside of character control (and perhaps of the mind's comprehension), | * The Transference event could constitue a loss of bodily agency, since a transfer is relocated with no volition of their own, however, this is expected to be a unique incident.
