In France, we have a saying : "every body had a king and a chicken thief in his ancestors"
it's usually followed by something like : "of course, most people prefer to talk about their king father..."
question of ego, and... People with normal life are represented by NPCs (rookies)... So, why would "elites" (term to talk about players) be as normal as NPCs... I think we have the right to do (not too much, stay in "reasonable" limits) backgrounds that goes out of ordinary life...
my chars are describe down here... Check and tell me if they are too much...
EDIT : don't make too much RP, this kills it, reasonable RP using common sense is better than "blowing 4 planets to escape a subespace monster, reincarnation of your wife you assassinated with a spoon"
OK for gentle RP, OK for gentle PvP too. What do you prefer ?
Hurk hurk hurk...
