Oh God... that... oh god...

[Esna Pitoojee]

As a non-immersive RPer - i.e., I'm not in a totally RP corp because I also crave the action being in a nullsec alliance gives - my bio is not filled with IC information about Esna (you can look at his blog for that). Rather, I've made it my job to try and make people smile with quotes from friends, corpmates, and random passers-by.

I'd like to comment on something else I see sometimes in bios, though: ASCII art.

Sometimes it's offensive (I've seen plenty of ASCII art of people's genitals) and some of it is old (Brofist, skull and crossboes) but occasionally I see something amusing and impressive. Example - when I flew in Providence, there was always one U'K guy who had an ASCII U'K fist in his bio. A few weeks after that appeared, a CVA guy copied it... with a big X through the middle of the fist.

The nowadays short lenght possible in the charachter biopage would make me do my char bio via link (in fact have always meant to do that but never seem to get round to it).

On a sidenote: it was a sad, sad day when BackdoorBandit came back to eve recently and logged in and his bio got nerfed....

Best I've seen:

(''') о___о (''')
-\ '( о_о )' /
--\ \_Ш_/ /
---l . . . . l
--/ ./---\. \
(„„„)____(„„„)
I SURRENDER
DONT HURT ME


Best. Bio. Ever.

Edit: Amusing. In the post edit window the font is spaced correctly. In a finalized post, it is not. How about that?

[Vieve]

Sabi's and Celeste's are brief snapshots of what someone would presumably be able to find out from a public record ... because we all know how genuinely informative public records can be, even if they are up to date.

I'm so gonna copy that and add a French Flag next to it.

[Misan]

For Misan I just put in the info that would probably show up in a dossier lookup that CONCORD would supply. It's fairly minimal, some of it only included because people would ask me roughly how tall she was etc.

Personally I like the quote filled bios but character limits means I can't fit them in as well.

[lallara zhuul]

For some reason I find the file thing as pretentious as hell...

Your bio is organic and a representation of the character.

Amusingly the guy I saw it on was a Gallente.

Could you elaborate on this? How would one have an "organic" bio?

Think it means that the bio should evolve as the charachter does.

[Casiella]

That's not exclusive from any of the other methods people have described, though.

[Senn Typhos]

It might just be a guttural reaction to my lengthy span of using cheap RP mods on other games to offer totally physical biographies, but when I do get around to a bio I think I'm going to be sticking with the public file version. The button itself is called "Show Info," I can't think of what else you'd receive other than CONCORD's information on the pilot.

That's not to say its the only way of doing things, but it makes the most sense to me. Along the lines of systems I'm irked by... I don't know why, but, the "blurb of overheard gossip" thing always tweaked my ear for some reason.

[Louella Dougans]

[mod]Please express your opinion in a different way.[/mod]



Anyway, I've put the links to the news articles I was in, and a linky to mum's char, and some other stuff, that might be reasonably well known.

[Rodj Blake]

I like bios which rhyme.

But writing them takes time.
