The importance of character stories...

[SigCorps]

Greetings,
I am fairly new to the server and Freelancer MP for that matter, I am not new to RP'ing. I really like what you have have going on here and the points made in this post have been very good. Heck it got me to write a post about my toon, and now that I have, I discovered his personality.

So for me writing the story helped me figure out where I was going to take this character and what his opening motivation is. I am also using his post as a neural log where Szerath writes down his adventures and where he wants to go next.

Personally I love to RP, and it can be a challenge to do so if you do not work out some details in your head or on paper about your toon's personality. Posting these stories also lets you show everyone else here that you can , atleast on paper come up with some RP'ing. While yes it dose not mean you can do so in game, it does prove you are atleast a bit creative

Part of my motivation for playing MP is that I have been dying to do some RP. I used to be a big online gamer but a wife and kids will kinda cut that back to about nothing. That and I can not find a decent D&D group up here. So the nice thing about Freelancer is I can log on for 1 hr, acutally acomplish somnething, do a bit of RP and get "my fix" as it were and have some fun.

Guess I kinda went off topic a tad. Anyway I think posting a story is good if you want. It helps the rest of us know you the player and gives us a bit about your character. It also might help you work out some kinks in how you want to portray your new incarnation.
