For myself, I'm on discovery to have fun and take a break from my real writing - which for the purposes of an attempted career have nothing to do with Freelancer. Hence, beyond a few crumbs scattered on the Forums every now and then, my RP is in-game.
I find it far more rewarding to have a chat as a character within the game, than to do so with myself outside the game (forum posted story), and it's by those in-game interactions that my characters change and adapt.
For reference, Sehti is a Captain! \o/ ... he just wants to have his whole crew shot. Figuratively speaking, of course.
