As others have said, in a perfect world the DM would have said "Hey, I know you quit the game, but I'd like to NPC your character for awhile so I can wrap up some loose ends. Can I have a copy of your character sheet?"

Since that hasn't happened your options are to tell him "No, now stop bothering me about it." or "Sure, here's a printed/xeroxed copy of my character sheet." Just ignoring the guy is obviously not accomplishing what you want, regardless of his horrible behavior.

Of course, we don't live in a perfect world, but rather one with GMs like this guy or the one one of my players used to have who liked to kill off PCs and then literally tear apart and eat their character sheets.

Wow. Did he have a favorite bbq sauce or sidedish he enjoyed eating while he did that? :)

I recently left a Pathfinder game due to the GM's continual need to be right and correct bogging the game play down. No matter what anyone did the rules had to be consulted and followed exactly unless it was decided they should be ignored cause they were to "ambiguous". this included bloodline abilities!

I sent an e-mail as per request of the GM who said "oh sorry to lose you wish you were staying" never once asking why i was leaving. The GM then requested me to turn in my character, that yes i created. I figured my lack of response to this request would make my position clear.

However, the GM is being very insistent on me handing my character over so that the game can continue. The GM is continually calling and coming over to my residence uninvited. I am trying to keep things "civil" but this behavior is bordering on harassment! Especially when I am trying to recover from a bad lung infection.

Although i have googled it i can't find an answer to these questions:

1)Do I have to hand over my character?

2)Does intellectual copyright extend to rpg character creation, within the framework of the gaming system?
(example of what i mean, the gm can demand but i am not legally required to hand over my character sheet but if Paizo says "gimme" i do have to give it to them kinda thing is what i was thinking).

Thanks to everyone in advance. if someone can direct me to another thread if this has already been covered, great! if not, any place where this topic has been touched on would be fab as well!
