I don't have time to respond in as much detail as I'd like, but - very much yes to all of this.
I've experienced it a TINY bit. My OC Alex (the Master's son) is probably the first character I'd call properly *mine*. Yes he's heavily dependent on the framework of DW, but he's utterly his own. And one of the most marvellous things is that the_redjay asked if she could use him in her own AU... So he's moved on and into another 'verse - but he's still him, and has a life of his own. :)
