I was tempted to ask if that means people with such personas should
portray themselves as suffering under smallpox, syphilis, or The
Inquisition (the usual causes of their demise, apparently), but it
reminded me too much of my argument for vampire personas in the SCA:
anyone who wants to lie in the ground quietly and be blamed,
erroneously, for a cholera epidemic, would be doing the society a great
service by teaching about medieval vampires and what they did, and I
would cheerfully support anyone portraying such a persona. 
 
And then I decided it would be a bad idea... . ;  )
