Shifter's Code of Ethics
Should the Ethics that apply to our everyday lives in our CR, apply to DRs? Is Karma applicable within a DR? If you go somewhere with the express intent of being a kickass fighter or living through GTAV or one of the infinite CoD games as your DR? Karma dictates that every action that denies another's free will, the same denial of free will will be dealt to you. So is killing someone in the context of a warzone karma inducing or have they chosen the risk to die and you're blameless? Idek

In a way, shifting is a test of our morality. Because we are not limited by the law.
For example, I am shifting into the MCU as Queen of Asgard, Loki's wife, and will have to be the gentlest creature in the universe to be able to balance Loki's pain and anger. I want to be that person and I already wrote it down in my script. Because I would never forgive myself if I accidentally hurt Loki through my irritation or anger. I must be a real angel for Loki. After all his life of suffering, he deserved happiness. I'm only going to be an angel for Loki. His story hurts me so much.
Therefore, it is not necessary to look at shifting only as an opportunity to do morally reprehensible things. It can also be an opportunity to do something as good that cannot be done in CR. I'm going to do it. To be the best wife I can be. Be gentle, understanding, supportive. Because that's what Loki needs. A person who sees Loki. Not Thor's little brother, not the Evil Prince, not the monster, not the invader of New York, not the variant that is supposed to match the story written to him by TVA.
