Hello everyone, I've been in and out of EVE in the past, I've always been really interested in the RP scene in EVE (I love the setting) as a Pen and Paper GM in real life but I've had a hard time finding people and places to meet with (having a Gallente character doesn't exactly seem to help either
) but somebody pointed me here so here I am.
I've got a fair amount of RP experience in different MMOs (City of Heroes, Star Trek Online and one or two others) and on the Tabletop... well I've done a lot D&D, Traveller, Shadowrun, World of Darkness etc.
I'm fairly easy going and tend to be a bit of a dilletante when it comes to EVE (so far I've got my head around Mission Running and Mining with a vague intent to expand into Manufacturing when I have enough capital to play around with, and at some point I wouldn't mind giving PvP a go... effectively I do a little bit of everything)
So what about my character in EVE: well Aellos isn't fully fleshed out yet... my characters tend to be determined more by RP than any more than the vaguest concept. But here's what I know about him... he'd describe himself as a "professional patriot to the human race" he speaks with a Gallentean accent reflecting his upbringing and tends to have a rather wry sense of humour. He believes in Gallentean ideals but isn't a rabid nationalist, he's more interested in humans than politics. He does have a strong sense of honour and chivalry and would carry on holding doors open for women and giving up his seat on the bus if he wasn't a capsuleer and most of the doors weren't automated these days. He's currently head of the Starfield Rangers Corporation... but since that's a one man band... as he tends to put it... "It's more of an honourary title than a meaningful one but it does keep the paperwork to a minimum" and tends to act more as a sort of professional well tailored drifter, he appreciates fine tailoring and good food but can go without them (although he'll probably complain in the process. Negative personality traits are that he's almost reflexively sarcastic to anyone he feels is pompous, enjoying authority too much or just a bit too sure of themselves, and well diplomacy isn't necesarily his strong point.... especially when it comes to Slave Holders and that sense of honour can lead to him being unwilling to back down even when it would be more sensible to do so.
I hope that's a good enough start for you guys, I'm looking forward to getting going with RP in EVE
