Hello RP'ers of EVE. Im a fresh faced recruit to this massive time sink of an MMO and looking for some like minded folks to join. At the moment I run a Gallente miner (accounts like 4 days old so barely any skills) and a Caldari explorer (or it will be soon enough). Personally Im feeling the Caldari, having looked into their background and their Japanese influences, thats me all over, plus they have funky looking spaceships that look like they were built function > fashion, good times.
So Im not really what could be called a hardcore RP'er from what ive found in games. Ive played WoW for the past 5 years and although the first 2 years of it I was a strong member of the RP community I ended up getting caught up in a whole load of crap that dulled the sheen of RP for me, as such nowadays I tend to RP very little in the game, and when I do its usually as "scene" setting RP, my char sat in the back of a bar smoking and drinking on his own whilst I watch others around me interact with one another.
I want to change this for EVE. One of the greatest enjoyments I got out of RP was that it wasnt bogged down by set mission objectives and the way WoW is designed, that leaves very little to actually DO with your character beyond writing what it is you imagine happening. The EVE universe has me wet because with this sandbox design, if I want to play an Explorer or blockade running smuggler, I can, equally I could become an anti-rat or rat, depending on what it is I want to do. This freedom is win, end of.
However with such a massively open universe, lacking in obvious "RP hot spots" such as taverns, and no ability to have capsuleer to capsuleer face to face, I find myself lost and not knowing where, how and what is the generally accepted behaviour within the community for RP.
So here I am, throwing my rather socially introverted ass to you lions and see what it is I can make of myself.
So yep, Im looking for a corporation, preferably something loyal to caldari (I often find it easier to be a faction loyalist to start with, as there is plenty of lore surrounding them and its usually easily accesible, if I want to change that, its easy enough given the right motivation most people will change their goals and methods) but they are going to need to be willing to deal with a total noob, as ive played EVE for a grand total of about 7 days now. Also Id prefer not to be tied down by a specific type of corporation, I dont want to be a purely miner, a purely pvp'er, id like to be part of a conglomerate of differently skilled players who work toegether.
From my outset, I would say I am intersted in;
Being able to team with people who dont mind the new guy coming along
PvP - Eventually, I dont wanna go storming in and getting popped straight away naturally, but later in my career I am most intersted in joining nul sec operations and getting my teeth into the nitty gritty
I do enjoy being part of a mining operation, hauling has been fun and the mining itself isnt all that bad, quite liked putting crap in an Orca or Jet canning it and watching the haulers remove it, however Id probably prefer to be top cover for these operations, or perhaps trail blazing for them, finding the operations location using scanning.
Ehr, I dont really know what else to say, or what ive missed, so feel free to ask away or throw suggestions as to where and how to get involved in the RP of EVE.
Fly Safe, Takuma.
