I'm aware of games where the players cooperatively build elements of the story world (I hear Dresden Files does this), but are there any where the players cooperatively build their characters?
What I'm looking forimagining is a game that follows the D&D style of having a group of adventurers that travel around and do things together, with a single GM who runs the game and decides on the story and world elements, but where the characters are made cooperatively by the players.
How do you cooperatively build characters, yet allow each player to have control over the nature of their character?
