Character backstory?
« on: 22 Dec 2015, 23:29 »

Hey guys, so, been trying to get my RP game on, and still no success, though the boys in Spectre have a god chuckle when I RP in local while FC'ing, haha! So, how did you come up with you backstories and how far is to far? I will give you an overview of Ace, and tell me if you think I am taking it too far and should cut back, or if you like it and that, thank you for taking the time to read this far, and I hope to see your replies, here it goes.

Ace was born to a Amarrian mother, and a Gallentean father, on Caldari prime in 91YC, he joined the Federal Defense Academy because he wanted to protect his family from the threat of war, soon after graduating he joined the Federal Defense Union, and was in an event where he was hunted by both FDU members and members of the Republic, he was found and protected in a battle by members of the Duty. Corporation, who offered Ace a place with them, he took it up, and has since become an accomplished pilot. Ace believes in the Federation, but believes in the Amarrian faith, his reasoning is the the Federation is freedom incarnate, and that that allows him to choose what ever he wishes with anything he wishes, and he choose the Amarrian faith, rather then being born into, or forced into it, this he believes gives him his strength in combat, and why he follows an extremely strong sense of honour and pride, he speaks Matari, Napanii, Amarrad, and Gallentean, and his highly intelligent and analytical. Fights for the freedom and peace of New Eden, which is normally mixed into his battle cries in some way or another, he wants to bring His light to New Eden, and bring peace, to all, not just the faithful, and to protect it, even if it means his death.

Wears combat armour almost everywhere and carries a Long Broadsword which was his mothers fathers, who was an admiral of old in the Amarrian Navy, is known for wearing a cape with a breastplate, also his grandfathers. Carries an old pistol at his other hip, which was his fathers, who was a ground trooper for the Federation. Ace gained the nickname (This is legit in game btw) from a fight that took place over several locations within Ishomilken, at which he would accept duels, even when his, or the others fleet out numbered the other, earning him the title Pirate-knight of Ishomilken.

That is all I have so far.. What do you guys think? This is what I started him off with, but I haven't had anyone else to bounce ideas off, I like it, and from what I can see, it seem unique, but I dont know if i went to far with the Amarrian/gal thing.. Let me know

The one question I have - and please don't take this as any sort of attack, I don't see anything wrong with it - but the question I have is: how does Ace, as a character, reconcile the Reclaiming (a major belief of the Amarr faith) with his belief in the Federation and its representation of 'Freedom Incarnate'?

He sees it as a chance to bring all into the light, although he doesn't believe it has been done correctly, and does not agree with the travesties and bloodshed that came with it. He believes that if he can become a pilot of some renown he can protect those from further bloodshed and pain, and enlighten them on what the faith can be for people, what strength and sense of belonging it can entail if brought peacefully, and if it is accepted without force. And he will stand against those who would force people in 'His' light, people should choose, never be forced, that is the right of mortal man, and that right should never be abolished, and Ace believes that those who come into His light of there own volition, will be better, and stronger then those forced, and will work like a domino effect, where if he can get people, under this banner of a peaceful reclaiming if you will, that the Amarrian faith can change in beautiful ways, and have a spiritualism and freedom that it has never enjoyed, free of the evil of the past, and heading towards the peace of New Eden, a rallying beacon of hope and proof of what faith can do for one.

Sorry if that sounds dorky.. I get really into Ace.. He is a knight remember, so I try and think from his point of view.. Don't know if that makes me weird to other RP'ers though..

Thank you, I know it sounds strange, but I like the idea of being as different as possible, this is my first video game, so I am trying to get as far into as possible, if you every see me in Local, try and RP duel me, I will fall hook line and sinker, also, since I am a Spectre FC, it might be your only chance to get my one on one :P

I've actually been thinking about going out for more Spectre fleets.  And I happen to run a booster production corp, so there's that RP hook... expect to be contacted soon :)

You should come on mine :) I am AUS TZ, so I get smaller fleets, but I specialise in Small Gang, and anything that lets me bring my Megathron on a roam. Also, keep your eyes open this Christmas and Boxing day, we have a massive Carrier and Super Carrier fleet with Rattlesnake, Eagle, and Tengu fleet :D

Also, DRUGS! :D I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO CONTACT ME! :D I always need drugs!
