Parky Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Howdy ho, again.  I was talking alot about my character, Larry, in the Discord mostly to have a laugh when an idea struck.  I like developing my characters sometimes. Giving them a backstory, characteristics, you know - a life. Nothing like "master lockpicker - can break into any car in 5 seconds undetected", just simple character development. I had to do this quite a bit back on HL2RP for some very intuitive roleplay, and I've got to say, it gives your character a soul. It gives them value. The time spent developing your character makes them a heap more meaningful and, I'd believe (and the higher-up staff & LSPD/EMS would be a fan of this) would give the player a higher feeling to preserve life. They wouldn't want their character to die, and they'd feel a much higher guilt for harming other players. Although that HL2RP server was permadeath, I am NOT suggesting that the server is made that way. It just wouldn't work for GTA. I'm suggesting that a forum category be created in this section for writing about your character. Their backstory, characteristics, age, major aspirations (such as wanting to buy an Adder, or obtain a Pilot's license, or become a cop). Important events can also be recorded to look back upon, like a diary, such as arrests, major purchases (cars, homes) or other if the player desires. Or, anything that the player desires can be recorded on their topic by editing their main post, such as "That time I was mugged" or "The crazy fellow who kidnapped me and sold me to hillbilly farmers for cheese".  I'm unsure how many people would like this, but I'd love to know. Please offer your opinion below!  This is just a suggestion, and I'd be perfectly happy for it to be ignored. Alot of you guys may enjoy it, however. I'm looking at you, Lili, with your damn great RP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 yeah , what he said http://badlandsrp.com/forum/6-introductions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hrm... fair point. I hadn't seen some of the character information some people put down.  It would be nice to have a dedicated area solely for characters to save filtering through personal introductions, however I suppose it's entirely unnecessary.  Oh well.
