The CHARACTER should change to fit THE STORY. Not vise versa. Also, using Jeff the Killer, arguably one of the worst pastas ever made (so bad we removed it from the wiki, in fact) as an example to support your is just dull. A character shouldn't be a focal point. You are supposed to tell a story and have the character there to help tell it, not have the story to add backstory to a character.
