If a character doesn't require food or sleep in their canon, is that something that would be allowed to be regained?
Similarly, if they're not invincible, but remarkably strong/fast/agile and can take a lot of damage, are those things that could be regained in portions as well? Would they ever be allowed to full strength, or would their abilities be capped at some point?
Would small physical characteristics that set an otherwise humanoid character apart from humans (e.g. non-human eyes, naturally black nails, fangs) need to be regained, or would they remain intact?
If two characters are bound to each other by a magical contract (which otherwise gives them no particular abilities or powers), is that something that would need to be regained, as well?
Aaaand lastly, I'm a little confused with regards to the 'no canon tragedies' rule. Mostly, it seems like it's going to tie a lot of people's hands. If a character has a major tragedy in canon (like his entire family dying), and we can't use that as a motivation for them to join the Joy Project, that basically forces us to come up with something worse than that. It wouldn't make any sense for a character with such a traumatic past to decide to join the Joy Project because his girlfriend broke up with him.
I guess what I'm asking is, what's the reason for banning canon tragedies as motivation for joining the project, and what would you recommend someone do in a situation like the one I described (where their character's canon tragedies are so great that it would be difficult to surpass them in terms of motivational trauma)?
