Does it make a difference that Ann (and Ben too) is specifically not allowed to create a backstory for her character, even in her head?
This makes RIF go "Is it possible to stop her?"
I mean, you can tell Ann and Ben not to go and write a one-page history for their character, but I feel that players still create - Idunno - impressions of their characters in their heads without necessarily trying, which might cause conflict with what someone else throws at them in the manner you suggest.
This makes VB go "what we can do..."
Is make it so that if Ben's input conflicts with what's in Ann's head, it's Ann's responsibility to adapt.
