DO IT POST IT IN THE FICTIONS SECTION. Im just trying to finish off Kador's early life before I get into the all the Sansha's Nation Incursion Arc's, dealing with Blood Raiders....

all before starting on Liethe Akari's Internal security operations for the Caldari state.

I would read the **** out of that!

My main issue has been deciding if I should sketch it in the first or third person. I don't plan on giving a direct series of events, so the hoping around is a bit difficult in first person. There is a lot of fluff that I am trying to avoid during his time in the Dragonaurs.

Hey there could you guys give me a friendly nudge if I ever break character while posting as badly as I have in the last two days.... preachy is not what Kador is all about. Sorry for being a ****.

Kador's R P sucks
And I should apologise
He is a nice guy

we all break character once in awhile :3

Believe me, most of the time Adamance seems justified to me. Considering Galm's thoughts are usually horribly disconnected, changes his values near constantly, suffers from paranoia, and is always between highs of delusions and disillusions I didn't hold it against True for calling him out. Most of those are signs of psychosis after all.

But hey, it is just a little bit of crazy. Much better than those first gens.

Ah now I get your perspective.

Yeah but True isn't a fanatic, that's not how I want him to be. He just chooses to believe in these things and makes it his responsibility to defend the beliefs and culture of his people.... since some... cough cough... Gallente.... cough cough.... RPers don't bother to try to understand it....

I don't know why, but pretty much all Gallente roleplayers so far are:

A. Ignorant fanatics of their own ideals
B. Racists
C. Bad roleplayers
D. Blatant breachers of PF
E. Some or all of the above

Although I must admit that I've fallen into a few bad RP streaks too.

Caldari = Master Race

Caldari = Master Race

I think you mean Minmatar are the Master Race.

No No they very clearly aren't.

Oh thank goodness, I was really worried about how other's reactions would be. Good to know I got it right, it is a huge confidence booster to write more!

And trust me, when you do finally getting around to writing a story, I would love to read it.

I think I may fall into a few of those.

Hell, I don't even know a lot of the lore, only the basics. But I think I do a pretty good job, nonetheless.

I won't lie to you guys, I've been trying to construct a character while knowing very little of the lore besides the broadest of strokes. In short everything I'm doing is like the plot of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, no idea what's really going on but trying to pick up clues and make it up as I go along. All I know is to not sell out Hamlet or make decisions based on the flip of a coin.

The way I've imagined the character, the mercenary work is a means to an end. That end being making a whole lot of money without committing a major crime. Though he does feel like there's adventure to be had while charging into battle. If he could get away with it, he'd swing into a battle with a cutlass between his teeth like every other character played by Erroyl Flynn.

Loyal to the Minmatar, but largely indifferent to the politics involved.

His distance from his birth family was a choice he made well before he became a mercenary. They were involved in seedy activities and arguably much of his persona is a deliberate effort to reinvent himself. Even if he's cultivating the image of a goofy cowboy it would be a welcome change from the career criminal he might have been if he stuck around.

If he managed to bumble his way to the top, I think he would live it up briefly then do his best to put in place someone more capable as he bailed out before getting assassinated.

In my mind, before you ever want to make a decent story (and I hate to be the one to say it) you really need to do some background reading before you start up. You don't need to know the WHOLE lore, but enough to make a certain amount of references and connections that will add value and merit to your writing. As an example, the whole reason I ever started RPing on the board a month ago was to bounce my character around until I had him figured out and do a little bit of a warm up to get in the mindset for writing. When I first came here, I am not going to lie, I knew very little about lore. Now however I like to think I have a strong enough grasp to be fiction literate.

I REALLY recommend reading at least a little bit of lore. The more you know, the better you are.

That being said YAY! I HAVE STUFF TO READ TONIGHT FROM YOU GUYS! \o/

I've been reading a lot of the fanfiction on this site, and I gotta say, you are all really good! It is an honor to share a fandom with you all.

Oh, and I made another minor edit to my story and character, seeing as I can still get away with it. Galm is actually younger than he appears (19-ish.) I figured it would be cool to play with the concept of a fully mature cloned body suddenly being pressed on a teenager. (Might explain his attitude aswell... Which I have to admit might be a bit of myself.)

Heh I should post up steadys long story arc. Iv been treating the day I first played to know as steady and got epic backstory to him now :-D

Think over it again, I have to admit I am mostly making this up as I go along, and forget my last post. Factoring in my story, his age should be just about right.

Nice do it. I'm interested to see your backstory and how your wrote out the whole turning your back on the Blood Raiders. That will be an interesting little bit of lore.

Still working out the details on that one trying to find sisters of eve stuff :-) but I good ammount of stuff written up now :-)

I'll summaries Gallentean society and be as unbiased as I can.

The Gallente are what I would calla hyper democratic federation of states, they are fully supportive of personal liberties which make them one of the most liberal societies in New Eden, and while it allows fo growth and change, it also allows for chaotic flux and massive crashes.

While people have the chance to rise to the top its all to easy for them to also crash down to the bottom, and with Federation being such a sprawl and mix of people its easy for those people at the bottom to be lost to those at the top.

The Gallenteans are also massive consumers of entertainment, this ranges from holoshows, to almost every conceivable product you can imagine, and since they are so liberal in terms of society they are more open to things like sex and drugs (( Those statistics aero pulled are not just made up, I believe the original source was a DEV but I cannot confirm)) as such they consider exotic dancing and art for, and are somewhat known rather dubiously for their orgiastic debasements in come circles (aka the Amarr).

So yes the Gallente are the closest thing to a libertarian society and do look upon themselves as champions of freedom and civil rights, but they are also sort of morally grey in regards to what we would consider morally repulsive things ((aka hard drugs and prostitution)).

Nice do it. I'm interested to see your backstory and how your wrote out the whole turning your back on the Blood Raiders. That will be an interesting little bit of lore.

Moved to DUST 514 Fiction.

Moved to DUST 514 Fiction.

I probably should of put it there in the first place, but want more visibility for those who RP in game

Roleplayers?! Oh, god, where have you been whole my life?!

This raises a new question, what do the geeks of New Eden do? Is there, like, gaming and an intergalactic Magic the Gathering competition every year?

There's a game called Mind Clash, it has a huge following, sets up huge tournaments and its top players are like rockstars. You could say its like Starcraft or Magic the Gathering, it has some video game feel to it with the neural interfacing thing. Other than that, I don't know about any other things that could be considered "geeky" at least not from CCP.

You could always come up with your own games though, I'd imagine the Gallente having something since they're the best people when it comes to entertainment and technology.

Not exactly related to the channel, but since this is the closest thing to an OOC place for the IGS, I thought I'd say it here:

Stop making OOC comments and threads in the Intergalactic Summit, no matter what. It's seriously disrupting the RP and is making me really annoyed, and others too probably. If you absolutely must need to make some OOC comment, send a PM and write something here, but NOT ON THE IGS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! If you see someone go OOC or make OOC references, don't reply and just report it, I've already started doing so myself.

And if you want a proper place to discuss the New Eden lore and your characters, go to the Backstage, it could really use more DUST roleplayers.
