It would be really interesting to see character trees of everyone's characters shnowing their relationships in game to one another. I'm rping Tinkerbell as a "diplomat" but they are only "paper credentials" until I develop them in game. Part of my rp is getting people in-character to accept them--not proclaiming that "they are". I count on some of his public history to help open doors but someone can choose to disregard what he presents just as easily. The proof that he is a real diplomat is when he can affect things like one (I just had to talk about me;)).
