A minor topic, really, but I'm noticing the vast amount of Gallente characters that have "Caille, Gallente Prime" listed as their place of birth. Why is that? Why GP, and why not Hueromont or some fictional made up place?

Once you complete the infodump, I imagine we'll see more diversification. GP is an easy planet to claim to be from and requires very little research.

It's also a planet with several billion people of vastly different origins, beign the captital world for the Federation, evne if no actualy nation-wide governemnt body resides there IIRC. Ergo, it's almost never going to be opposed that you hail from the planet, while 'I was born on X planet in X system' can lead to 'nu-huh, I've BEEN there' etc.

I'll go with 'did little research' myself though.

Hey, not everyone.  Some of us blurted 'Villore' when we were asked ICly where our characters came from.  (The Mies stuff came later, when I rationalized that a substantial number of folks who live in Villore might just have moved there because of their work with the government.)

[Valdezi]

Yeah, well, Mammal's from Renyn.

Can't blame people for playing it safe with stuff, IMO. Caille is probably one of about maybe six places in the cluster that is at least 95% certain to not be handwaved out of existence or otherwise modified due to:

The graphics team that decide to make a planet's texture representative of a gas giant when it was previously skinned as something else on a whim.

A list of habitable planets is leaked and guess what? That homeworld you picked, isn't one of them.

TonyG's latest deus ex machina plot device.

"We need something awesome to make this next expansion sound awesome. Let's crash a titan into a planet!" "Awesome!"

The Enheduanni did it.

That would actually be kinda cool. Imagine playing a character that picked Seyllin (sp) as his/her/its home planet prior to it getting roached. Oops, CCP accidentally my entire family, dammit.

On the other hand, if you're looking to avoid such potential drama, then yeah, stick to homeworlds. Vicky was born and raised on Athra, which makes for some fun given that she's something of a murderer and terrorist and such like. Makes visits home challenging.

[Saede Riordan]

Nikita's home planet was technically a homeworld at one point. Was. 

[Casiella]

Yeah, totally stick to core PF worlds. Like Matar, they won't screw that up.

* Casiella looks at the IG texture after Tyrannis.

Dammit.

[DA5UN]

Personally I chose Caille, Gal Prime to keep my character as close to PF as possible but more so because I was trying to create a true Hedonistic Gallentean (or at least one with a past as that), and what better place for one of them to come from than Gal Prime?

See, this is exactly why you Fed types shoulda had your kids born in tubes on moons. Then you don't need a healthy planet.

Basically, but you don't let their faces get pressed up against the glass. :/

As all my planetary pictures are on my laptop which is in extended repair, I might as well post what I have done so far (can't take new pictures as the light layers are broken on planets)...

Here you go. Pick one!

And don't edit it without talking to me first, please ._.

Not to get too far off topic, but that's not how player-created pages on EVElopedia work.
