Playable Characters

New intro/backstory:

(Mimicking our real life situation) A group of game designers are creating a game for their assignment. Disagreements soon arise over some details and the group disperses after quarrelling.

One particularly devious designer stays behind after the argument and writes his idea - an extremely intelligent evil villian - into the game to spite his teammates.

However, something goes wrong and the villian becomes sentient. The designer is hurtled into the game as one of the characters that they have designed, and the villian exits the game into reality.

The only way for the designer to escape back to the real world is to play and defeat the game that they have created.

(Does this mean the 'we' - our personality - will end up in the game as one of the characters that the designers created? It would only make sense as the game in our back story is already roughly completed. Then we can still use the characters that Fandi has created, meaning the NPCs will treat the character as they are programmed to but we will have full control over the character's personality and skills. Please discuss.)
