Your RP characters

[Bazza]

My character started out as a random nobody freighter captain. 2 years of storyline later and she's somewhat infamous, ever-so-slightly reviled and also the mother of a discobaby fathered by another character in canon - something I'm actually quite proud of.

I found most of the background traits and events for this character were teased out of them through interactions with other people. She was originally a silent, newbie trader...:)Then she gained a voice as my experience playing the game grew. I often created background, family members, history and personality traits on-the-fly as required and jumbled everything together until I created an entire sodding wikipedia page about her.

There's nothing wrong with having only one or a few characters. It allows you to put more effort and time into them and eventually create something that feels "real".
