The character shouldn't know the origins of the other character if he hadn't met him before. Perhaps only the basic stuff. But you know the basics without any info commands.
Depends how you look at it. Depends how you write it. You could write the info for your pirate character like a criminal history log from the LPI or something. Endless possibilities.
If this was put into effect, when you did /info on any of my characters you would get an entire book and it would probably cause you, the server, or both to crash.

Thinking of it this way... reading anyone's story on the forums, then meeting them in person is metagaming too when you put it the way you do..... just because you know some things about the person that your CHARACHTER does not doesnt make it metagaming... as long as you rp your charachter that he doesnt know makes it ok
