In Character (IC) is a roleplaying term, referring to the world of the characters, rather than the world of the players. That is, a character talking to another character is an IC interaction, set within the IC world, while two players talking about a football game on the side is an OOC interaction.

Dedicated roleplayers are known for pouring themselves into their characters much as actors might. Thus, IC and OOC are basic concepts for roleplaying, and complaints/praises about player behavior will often employ them. For example, "That was funny, but not really in character."
