I still have my first char. It was a Pirate Transport Cardamine-Slave smuggler under the name of Pacific. Now its a Kruger Miner and I play him when I mine :P.
' Wrote:Myself, I didn't know this was a roleplay server.
I was an Outcast Mjolnir with Unioner Guns, wandering around Gallia looking for a Mini Razor as 4.85 had literally just been released.
I chuckled, considering that at the moment you are one of the most solid roleplayers around
Anyway, my first created character on Disco 24/7 was, I believe, made as 11of10, at least some 6 months before I joined the forums. I remember just one image from it: Me, in a Bounty hunter LF, trading from Bretonia to Rheinland and back, trying to get enough money for a proper freighter.
Got inactivity wiped
Second:
Sa'Matra, which was a transport, with the idea of evolving to a large capital ship, like it's namesake. At the moment I still had no clue what ships were available on Disco, but I had this ambition;)
Sa'Matra produced enough money by smuggling slaves and cardamine to give me:
funkybomb, my Corsair Eagle (naturally, coming from vanilla server), which evolved to a Titan
Which then evolved to a Praetorian bomber, which evolved to a Lunchbox gunboat, naturally. For piracy
Irony is I never got around to pirating, as my friend and I then returned back to HCS, and spent a few more months there, resulting in an inactivity wipe for Sa'Matra and funkybomb
Now, when I came back, I think that friend of mine tossed me some money to get me started (funny how his chars didn't get wiped... hmmm) and I started trading.
I remember flying under an OSC banner, with a short train, RPing an OSC supply ship, and on a few occasions, an emergency people transport, when the regular ship's engines have supposedly failed.
However, it was very short around, and I can't remember the captain's name, and probably there wasn't any.
So, my first real character, that is still evolving is Andrew Duke (yeah, my name, kinda). He flew a Shetland for Gateway (indy) called Red.Giant, or rather GST_Red_Giant (Gateway Shipping Train). I started it's RP when I was in Bretonia once, shortly after buying the ship, and meeting this semi equipped bounty hunter, who flew around, and asked if I needed escort. He escorted me to Rheinland, we had an uneventfull trip, but (by then, I allready joined the forums, and kept the rules book open at all times) I decided he could use some help in RPing, so I decided to roll along. I cooked up a story of Mr Duke being a one time engineer's assistant on an Armed Forces Gunboat, and it just went on from there..
Long story short, after some stint as a security pilot for Bowex, Mr Duke now is a semi retired Freelancer, living on Freeport One, not too close, yet not too far from his old home. (for now Privus|Duke, an Anki freighter)
Tharog Frosthearth was my first name actually. Started as an LPI, became Navy, became LCBO, became Zoner, became Pirate and now finally is Hellfire Legion:P
Admitted I retconned the LPI part and the Zoner part was more a vacation after he got declared rogue. Pirate part didn't last very long either.
And yes the surname is actually a typo, but I decided to keep it cus Frosthearfffff sounds epic and yes the first name is just nonsense.
Also he is a tree-hugging Fleet Admiral, DJ and barteneder with a very sexy beard and dreadlocks and he is president of Maine. )))
To tell the truth, I can't remember the name of my first character on the server it was that long ago.
According to my profile, I joined way back in December '06.
The name of my first char was probably "Mickk" or "Trader_Mickk" at a guess.
Who knows what version of the mod was running back then, my best guess is 4.83 or 4.84.
I left the server for a fair while, got into the "Guild Wars" series of games, but for some reason I came back and was surprised to see that my forum account was STILL active and we all know what happened after that.
