[Ironwatsas]

In response to Sindroms' origional point.

It is hard to define where 'normal' and 'abnormal' RP stands. Everyone is diffrent, and everyone's RP is diffrent. RP boundaries can't really be defined, as RP is the idea of an individual, and does not adhere to schematic thinking.

Infact, I'd think most of my characters are quite a bit diffrent in a way.

Ironwatsas is an ex-mercenary turned Cybernetic mad scientist who seeks to conquer the Sirius sector with his homemade Cyborg/Robot army on behalf of the 'benefactors' that rebuilt him.

CobaltWatsas is an 'Old West' cowboy in space, who scraps things, and currently has no idea about Watsas or his plans.

Iazyne_Aezali is a flirtatious, Synth-Pot addicted, Nomad infested woman posing as a Xenoarchaeoligist to gather up stuff on behalf of Die Wilden.

LWB|Udo.Ackermann; well, anyone who's RPed extensively with him knows he's not your average terrorist. As he is paranoid, scared, confused, womanising with friend and foe alike, has no idea he is considered a terrorist or enemy of the state, etc

The crew of the Athanauthe are slaves to Watsas, and are prone to arguing amongst themselves and disagreeing with one another in a public fasion.

[GC]-Naomi.Ichiyusai is somewhat warped from Cardamine use, and often tries to seduce normally hostile entities (and allies) into some form of ambush or back to Ironwatsas to be recycled. Not to mention constantly propagandizing the public and her general contempt for the Outcasts.

Poor Juan.Maldonato is more standard fare. A lonely Corsair who seeks to prove himself, and at the same time accumulate as much money, power, and more importantly, Senoritas as fast as possible.

Thing is, putting limits on RP is somewhat futile, as it cannot be defined in any real fasion. Heck, someone can RP being some sort of godlike superbeing in a Starflier (skye) and if they do so in a manner that dosen't create errors or conflicts with others' RP, then what reason do we have to shoot said RP down and dismiss it?

Even if an RP is way out there, as long as it is well done, we can have jedi masters flying in battlestars and Battlestar Galactica come to sirius. As much as I disagree with direct imports from other SciFi universes, the =CR= from an RP perspective managed to integrate well enough. I won't deny them their RP.

Though, if someone just wants to make some kind of ultimate superbeing for the express purposes of PvP whoring or with a poorly concived and written backstory, or something that violates server rules, then that creates problems. (Though, Mon'Star may be an example of something close to this being done within the bounds of RP plausibility)

Thing is, characters need to be able to interact with others. Though that may be terrorising them, pirating them, romancing with them, trying to assimilate them into a Cybernetic army, or just striking up a friendly conversation. Within the practical limitations of the game engine, anything applies. So long as the RP is well thought out and implemented, we as players have little reason to deny it simply out of the consideration that it is 'unbefitting RP'.
