As you can see below, the Syndicate is attempting to now claim ownership of characters within the Syndicate. Setting clear lines in which what they own and what they do not own on their character.
Realistically it is for you yourself to determine where the boundaries of IP's may be made, but it is a very disconcerting feature after being caught following up with players who have left the Syndicate to ensure they didn't use the same character as in the past.
In the past we have seen them go after characters before with conflicts of IP.
With the prescience established above, I believe it is fairly safe to assume that this is not a declaration to set a clear definition of what is Mortisian Syndicate IP and player IP but instead an overstepping of their implied authority over what they own on a character. While this TOS wouldn't hold up in a court of law, it is another tactic employed by the Syndicate to discourage dissent and control the freedom of former Mortisians.
Don't forget about the best part! If you sign up with your character, your email is now in the public domain tied to your username! Better have yourself a good password cause that's a vulnerability exposing all of their users! And from checking the list so far from what is registered, it seems a ton of people include their legal names in their email. Something to keep in mind.
