Pardon me for stepping in, but since Fox is following a lot of ideas and guidelines I set for this kind of thing, I thought I might be the best person to provide an answer.
The short answer is: You get as much autonomy as you earn.
We don't want to cripple creative people on account of having to hobble folks who want to pull deux ex machinas out of their backsides whenever they feel like it. We don't want to permanently punish people who start to show improvement and start having genuinely good ideas. But we also don't want to leave the door wide open for Percy McSparkledog and his laser ninja assassin team to stroll in.
When you start out, you'll probably feel restricted. That's because we want to see how well you play with what's established and with what we have. But if your character does something creative, we'll notice. If they give us something fun to work and play with, we'll notice. And if we have to watch them for every post because they have something in there that we are going to have to ask them to change or delete… oh yeah we'll notice that too.
The more you show you can be trusted and not need to be babysat or watched like a hawk, the more wiggle room you'll find that you have. The more fun you are, the more we'll probably throw unique opportunities and random fun things at you.
So, yeah. The answer is that you get as much as you earn.
