Arnulf is supposed to be the intellectual Minmatar of which you speak. When he isn't flying he studies comparative religion and the current state of archeology. Both planet based & astroarcheology.
It's just I rarely find someone who is interested in chatting about such things.
Which is sort of the problem with roleplay and combat. We never see the Minmatar Brutors when are calm and intellectual such as Dr. Bruce Banner, only when they are all furiously mad like the Incredible Hulk (in a Rifter!)
I have had some good roleplay with the Minmatar when I was in Faction war. However, it was pretty rare. When you find an enemy that wants to RP, you have to dock up and talk in local. You can't focus on typing up dialogue and activate your ship modules at the same time.
-Blood Raider ala Silas: For some reason when I first started I thought that Blood Raiders were kind of hokey. However, I think what Naupilus has done with them is genius! Of course, I am only just now aware that there are many Blood Raiders with well developed stories and character backgrounds. I remember plenty of pirates when I was in Faction war, but none of them were interested in roleplay.
-Thukker Aligned Capsuleer: Having learned more about the Thukkers makes me wish sometimes that I chose to play them instead of Amarr. I like their gypsy like philosophy of carrying everything with them from one star system to another. I suppose if no one else is playing a Thukker though, I would feel pretty darned lonely. An Amarrian loyalist in FW was a pretty broad career path.
Caldari State loyalists pushing for a smaller State-aligned corp to make CEPI would like to see this happen. Perhaps a constellation could be conquered from the other Faction during Faction War?
Interestingly, there is a settlement of ex-patriot Caldaris that live in the Khanid kingdom. (Khaldari). In my mind at least, I imagine them to be like American ex-pats living in Europe during the war, sitting in cafes and perhaps even opening up some local businesses. In other words, still Caldari in culture, but unhappy enough with the State to want to leave it.
Since there are rumors of rebellion against the Empire brewing in the Khanid state, perhaps the Provists could find a home there now that there are arrest warrants out for Tibus Heth. The Khanid and Provists do share a kind of right wing fanaticism and hatred for 'Liberalism'.
Other than that, there is Null sec?
More Khanids (who don’t go Angel or Sabik after three months!)!Well, Naupilus is a Khanid. He went for at least a year before he went Sanik.
Khanids have interesting bloodlines, such as Zealot and Cyber-Knights. I am somewhat surprised that so few people choose Cyber-Knights.
Ammatar guys!It would be good to see more Ammatar characters being worked out. I think it's a bit confusing on character creation though. Should the Ammatar be considered 'Amarr'? In order to be an Ammatar character, you have to start off in Minmatar space at the Republic schools, only to somehow come across the Ammatar culture. There isn't much appeal to it either. If you want to fly Amarr ships, why chose a Minmatar and vice versa?
Jin-Mei folks!I would like to see some more spiritual Caldari, that's for sure.
Mannar : fucking hawkish mannar federals...
Udorian : tash murkonites with clear and reclaimed udorian ancestry.
Ealurian:
A bit off topic but I wonder why all of the humanoids of EVE are well, of Terrestrial origin? I haven't heard of any of the green skinned or blue skinned people that are a staple of other science fiction stories. Why is it a war between four ancient Earth cultures, and not the Terrans against say, a reptilian race of humanoids or something? Would that be too cliche?
Nefantars (republic loyalists)
Gallentean activist not fighting slavery:Would this mean they were more pro-slavery or just indifferent? I did meet a Gallente who moved to Jita right away (still on a trial subscription). He was very professional and businesslike in his roleplay. He claimed to move from the Federation since it disgusted him, and he promptly applied for membership in the Caldari state.
I tend to think of Gallente state as something like Barbarella meets the Jetsons. It's a place full of sin, sex, drugs and decadence, the place where all the spandex utopianism of the Science Fiction of 1970s went. I also imagine it's like Clockwork Orange in the bad neighbourhoods.
