Out of the very nature of the writer. If there was not, Loiosh would not exist. Or, to maul Mssr. Descarte's famous aphorism:
"Steve thinks, therefore Loiosh is."
Every roleplayer instinctively knows the line of Whitman's Song of Myself: "(I am large, I contain multitudes.)" Every writer knows it as well. I do, in list and Vlad tradition, generalize off one example, namely myself -- but it is logical, obvious, veritably a necessity of the condition of playing a role, of writing the actions of others of not-necessarily-like-minds. Which would, of course, suggest that actors share this 'insanity' as well...
I, for one, am glad I am in such good company.
