Simple forum game. Suppose that one of your RP characters is sitting down to write a work. What would s/he write, what would it be about and what would it be titled?
Reginald Lewis (my navy character) would likely write an autobiography called Perceptions , which'd deal mostly with the class-divide in liberty experienced by him, growing up in a poor family with few routes out, and discussions on nature of service in the Navy and how not everything is as patriotic and glorious as it seems.
Well my Bretonian Admiral Charles Davis would probably write two books. One about the Kusari war and one about being imprisoned by the Gallic Royal Navy.
My RP character would write about the information of growing human organs from stem cells and other various sources. It would be called "Genetically Modified Organs"
Nishi would write a few Synth-metal albums and probably play the instruments herself, along with one work of baroque chamber music and maybe a neo-romantic symphony if she gets bored.
I can see her also working on a book of beat poetry politicising the class divisions in Kusari. It'll probably contain highly irregular metres and regular innuendo, and a few unofficial neuralnet user's guides on how to change the droptanks on a Blossom. She would never write an autobiography of herself, and would certainly rather blow her own brains out than write one - she's a terrorist; she doesn't want to immortalise herself.
THE SYNDIC LEAGUES
(A co-operative of Rheinland's Shipping Unions, retired from a life of piracy.)
George Richard Hall, BAF admiral: "Divide and Conquer", "How to Prepare a Delicious Tea".
Pierre Vincent du Petit Thouard, Bohemes vice-amiral: something in romanticist style about the state, the King and his successes, probably a book of poetry, hoping it would sell well.
Eugene Goriot, Redemption captain: "Wars, the horror of mothers".
Billy Bo Jackson, secondary LN fleet Waran pilot: once he gets old, provided that he learns how to write, he'd write his autobiography, permeated with serious humour and symbolism. He was a farmer until a Rheinland gunboat crashed on his property on Houston, and destroyed everything for good. Then he joined the Navy.
Jawdat an'Nuss, Core (hey Lyth, what's the rank that allows you to fly a Mako?): He has a very complex personality. Maybe just weird, I haven't formed his full character yet. I think he is autistic. He would stare at a blank page for exactly an hour, then turn it and do the same with the next one. Eventually he would close the back cover and call it a book. Nothing would be written on the paper, only in his deviant mind.

Carmen Sanchez would probably make a book about mercenarying and how to get rich by doing it. She'd also make a detailed review of her list of people she killed.
