The importance of character stories...

[Marburg]

I'm alot like Unselie about this.

To me, it really doesn't matter how good a story is...if it's a wall of text, I skip it.

However, I do think people should make an attempt on the forums to develop their characters.

It doesn't have to be "good" & it doesn't even have to be read... but on the forums a person has the opportunity to do things with their character that go beyond the scope of the game mechanics, & thereby giving the characters a little life, that just sitting in the cockpit & talking on the radio to other pilots in between fights will just never match.

Even if it's nothing but a personal log that only outlines what the character likes to eat for breakfast, it gives the person creating the character the chance to get into that character's head, & either conciously or sub-conciously helps the creator RP a little better on the server.

Alot of people have low self-esteem about writing...screw all that.

If you can speak words, you can type 'em out.

Just don't worry about what other people may think of your skill level.

...It has nothing to do with them.
