Roleplay ?

[Tenacity]

I'm trying hard to stay away from any of the cliche RP types in this story i'm working on...

The thing i'm concerned with is that I'm putting things out there that a lot of people might not agree with. For instance, the idea of the 'first nomads' being a failure because they did not want to fight or kill... I just hope the keeper/nomad/wilde players like the idea; I'm trying to have as little effect as possible on current beliefs revolving around the aliens or their origins, while giving the character a very unique opportunity in bringing more knowledge about them to light.

I think the reason a lot of people try to use the 'revenge', 'i stole it', 'i defected' (i'm guilty of that one) basis for their stories is because they're afraid of rejection by the community if they try to come up with something new.

Any unique or new idea regarding the history of Sirius or it's factions is very likely to be criticized by the older players here, because they have a very set-in-stone idea of how things work, and lets face it... people are afraid of change. That alone takes many of the unique background/story options away from newer players, it limits creativity.

Kinda putting myself on the chopping block with the story i'm writing for that reason, it's quite likely to be rejected because it's a very unorthodox background.
