Okay, another thread by me, this time it is a general context, applying to the areas of relationship RP. And a short preamble that I have been a dirty perpretrator of this myself. You can also call me an elitist tard as well, if you want
I am noticing a sharp trend of IC relationships and couples that seem to serve nothing but OOG wish fulfillment. Out of the x amount of lesbian couples I counted, a minimal amount of them seemed to make any sense as to why these characters should be involved in the first place. I also attempted to count straight couples and failed miserably. This is where Electus Matari comes in, because they seem to have a) straight couples and no space lesbians and most importantly, b) the characters being involved with each other makes sense.
Yes, this is overly critical, and you wonder why this is a problem. I believe this is a problem because it taints EVE RP. The distinct lack of any public IC couples that are intra-faction and not cross-faction makes romance between capsuleers just seem...well, for lack of a better word, shit. Where are the...
- Powerful Amarrian married couples, a Holder wife and husband who wield power over their domain as king and queen?
- Controversial Gallentean sweethearts, the focus of much fame and media attention. A war hero and his celebrity wife? An older, rich Gallentean businessman with a far too young model for a spouse?
- A Matari clan chief and priestess, being beacons of example and role models for the youth of their clan?
- A married Caldari couple with equal standing as the dastardly duo go from place to place striking deals and trades with various entities?
You see what I'm getting at...
(I fucking rant too much)
