    Perhaps you should try playing PARANOIA.  It that game it does *not* pay
to get too attached to your characters.

    I too like characterizing, but my response to playing a monster inside of
my old character is to spend some more time and care in making a character out
of that monster.  If you just think of the monster as a new character to develop
and you like character development as much as I do, you may find yourself enjoy-
ing personality changes.

PARANOIA is produced by West End Games.
