[UA] So you're a Videomancer with some major, MAJOR mojo . . .

It has to be one of the Ninja Turtles!

Other questions are raised: Does the character disappear from their

caster)? and do they 'remember' the fictional events of their life, or does
their brain mould itself to reality, as if they've 'always been here'?
