...'m sort of guilty of keeping myself to canon when it comes to my favourite mech. However, when there's so very little of him to start with, I want to use it for all its worth.
While writing I use things I know he's said in canon. Lucky for me, two of the issues Devcon is in are actually written. The last one a bloody short novel. Otherwise, I tend to use whatever time units his continuity uses, and I make sure to know where in his timeline I'm writing him. Places he's been in, characters he knows, old hunts... Yeah. I use referenses verrrry few would be able to spot, really, but it feels good to do so.
I want him to feel alive, and those canon details give him meat on the bones, in a way. The rest? Hehe, bloody good guesses. LOL!
I also use him quite a bit in RP, but then he still brings canon over. Keep in mind, however, that I don't mind reading mixed continuities, crossovers, AUs, etc. I love all the work writers put into world building, OCs or RP.
