DUST Search - why did you pick your race?

Caldari, because I think they look the sexiest.

Gallente- seem to much like America (or what we think everyone thinks of America)
Amarr- I almost went with them because I like the idea of following an Empress, but I couldn't agree with slavery.
Minmatar- Are my favorite. They're underdogs, and if anyone has a legitimate reason to fight in a war, it would be to free their fellow slaves. Too bad all of their suits look ugly.

I actually don't like Caldari because I don't like corporate America. However, one of their bloodlines are the Achura.
I love space. I love the way stars look and how stories can be built around constellations. I love how the hubble telescope takes beautiful pictures of novas and galaxies with hues of purple and green and red. I love how planets look from outerspace, and I love the silence of cold and distant alien landscapes.

If I lived in the Eve Universe I would be saving every ISK I could get in the hopes of leaving my mercenary life, buy a ship, and sail into the heavens, away from war, away from slavery, away from greed. There I could dream and be myself. I could see the universe not as we would form it, but as it truly is, an incredibly awe-inspiring force of nature. Then I think I could be happy.

I believe the Achura are the closest to this thinking, despite being part of the terrible Caldari State.
*singing wistfully and quietly* I dream, I dream. Of space and beauty. Of sails beyond the sea...

*dropship door opens and everything is drowned by the sound of gunfire and explosions*
*still singing to herself* I pray tomorrow I'll be free...
*charges into battlefield*

I've seen first hand the arrogance. The words of earning equality are all lies. The Amarr will never fully treat us as equals. You said yourself, they are crazy. And the cluster will do better without them. Trust in Rust!

Dude you were a Minnie through and through when I met you, don't twist my words, I meant that the people of EVE and the people of Dust are vastly different, they have done their things for 10 years and have different expectations, were new to this.
Lemniscus Demetrius SWIFT KICK TO THE TEETH 0	Posted - 2013.09.30 23:49:00 - [130] - Quote I picked Minmatar because I like to be underestimated. I find my greatest thrills are to chase after the most hardcore/badass player on the opposite team and wreck his day (or at least kill him once, lol. My skills aren't the best right now). Playing minmatar, I feed into your assumed weakness in me. It makes your death all the more sweeter when you die with a strange mix of confusion and shock. I can almost hear my enemies last breath saying "but but but ... my race is cooler than his..."

Cenex Langly D.A.R.K L.E.G.I.O.N D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 222	Posted - 2013.09.30 23:53:00 - [131] - Quote True Adamance wrote: General John Ripper wrote: I am just curious. I picked Amarr because when I was reading all the bio's they seemed like the bad guys. I wanted to be a bad guy. They are vastly more the good guys that any race in New Eden. I picked them because they are far more different from and real world establishment we have, and more open to creating unique and interesting characters, not to mention everyone and their grandma seems to want to be "freedom junkies" in this game. I mean really, X thousand years in the future and everyone still wants to play the status quo? Bad guys are Blood raiders, Sansha's Nation, Gurista's, general pirate groups. For those of you who have never read any of the books or even the short stories or vast volumes of fiction regarding EVE or New Eden, Amarr is definitely far from the good guys. Amarr are the extremest of religious zealots. Going far and beyond to use religion as a controlling tool. Caldari are the tycoons of corporate slavery and use megacorporations to hold control over their people. Minmatar are slaves but use their righteousness of rebellion to combat their foes, the Amarr, who seek to keep them enslaved. Gallente are actually the only ones (from what I've been able to gather) that are actually most like the United States in their stance of economic and political power. They are somewhat fair with a definite underlying goal of taking over the universe. (As can be seeing with their continual terraforming of every planet they encounter. <-- fiction of course) So with that aside, I picked Minmatar because I wanted to speed tank... Little did I know DUST was nothing like EVE in the way of combat tactics lol
knight of 6 SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 310	Posted - 2013.09.30 23:58:00 - [132] - Quote sad but true, this was the first character i made or perhaps the second? either way Phantom Eren 2100360288 is no longer with us, I'll give you one guess why... and I didn't know any of the races or have the time to read it all so I just picked the assault suit (back in the day there was only one assault suit)
General Erick Onslaught Inc RISE of LEGION 142	Posted - 2013.10.01 00:01:00 - [133] - Quote FREEDOM!

I guess I probably seemed that way. I didn't consider my self a through minmatar though since a through minmatar wouldn't have fought for the amarr ever. My character is skilled in mostly minmatar gear but mind you I also have another skilled strictly for amarr gear and one gear strictly for gallente vehicles. No, twisting your words is fun. i'm still bummed i lost that quote where you admit the minmatar are the strongest. :p Yeah, i get that they've got a different mindset and all. but that's also kind of my beef with them. and the amarr.

Mac Dac Wraith Shadow Guards 226	Posted - 2013.10.01 02:40:00 - [140] - Quote Wow. as i keep reading through this topic i find that some people have grown quite prejudice to other races. And its not just amar.

Why don't we see them then? I like your background some what, but all I see are "Biracial parentage, some military training, horrific incident which gives character a moral compass, more training, goes to fight as an Immortal.... FREEDOM!" I still want someone to accept or champion a schizophrenic Gallentean underworld enforcer, with the mental age of a 13 year old, no schooling, no particular liking for his people or for anyone, but an out of place sense of duty and kindness when all else seems to fail.

Or news? @True when are you going to make her a clone or just a character for RP and fiction? I know you wrote about her before in IGS. Would definitely be a good character for RP. Not a lot of Ammatar on here.
