1. Why do you keep rather mundane characters?
A. I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. I suppose, for me at least, it is amusing enough to imagine how the life I know would be on a fictional universe. Since I'm just a regular guy, putting myself on the shoes of another regular guy is easier than, say, a macro-cyborg-slavering-machine-being. Don't get me wrong, I understand how people have fun that way, I'm just tired of that line of reasoning since I have been playing PnP RPG's since I was a kid and those are the kind of characters people tend to go with.

2. You trade almost 100% your uptime? Stop power traden! ಠ益ಠ
A. There are several reasons. First, in RL I enjoy driving a lot because it calms me down. It's so much a fact that I end up keeping (several) copies of Truck Sims around. I think it translates into Freelancer from there.

Second, regarding PVP, I don't handle competition that well, so whenever I put myself through it I have to keep in hand a handful of strategies to still enjoy it - plus, my connection isn't exactly the best, since I live far away from Disco servers. Still, from time to time I do step into it for the sake of character building - see Fade up there. In all due honesty it doesn't tend to last much, however. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Third, RP. I really, really enjoy iRP interactions - it's even in my work description. I tend to find those more often without the need for PVP. Being perfectly honest, to this day I don't know what to do with my credits. I don't think I ever bought something with more teeth than a Gunboat.

1. Why did you quit playing Allan?
A. I reached a point on his story I wasn't finding any leeway into RP venues any longer - not only that but I wasn't exactly having fun on the ones I had access to. I held it off for a while but when it became clear I was starting to head in a direction it made no sense for the original character I decided to call it quits.

2. Why did you quit playing The Lexicon?
A. Truthfully, what reminded me of Freelancer was a conversation I had with a friend about the character, so when I came back I remade my Whale and played for a while. I'm not sure where, but the glamour wore off. Although I have fond memories of The Wilde interactions, years ago, I just realized The Lexicon was better on my memories, so I dropped them. For now, at least.

3. Musica-whom?
A. Another side project. I intended to run him as a Dj, a musician, because I was messing with Winamp radio services at the time of his creation and thought "why not?". Plus, considering I still don't see a character running in game adds for the several factions who complain they lack members, he may very well come back one of these days - except this time I'll just have to learn how to code a bot on discord.

1. You keep talking about your distance from the servers.
A. This is not a question. But it's true, I'm from Brazil - which means English is not my main language and I tend to butcher grammar now and then, or sound like I'm trying too hard. Because of this, my ping usually sits on the low 200's, although I have a decent connection and low packet loss. I thought I should add this here just because.
