abbv. Out Of Character. Refers to situations where a player is behaving in a manner which is not consistent with his or her character, or consistent with the nature and spirit of the game world itself. When done in public, this is frowned upon by many players and actually can be considered a policy violation.

Examples: A dwarven warrior talking about the World Series, a giantkin bard singing Britney Spears lyrics, or a priest of Lorminstra assisting in the creation of an undead being for no apparent reason.
