Pointless, Ego-Driven Blather
I'm a guy in real life. SHOCKING, I KNOW! Especially since I play male characters exclusively. But that's just how I roll. I'm on the edge. I'm living the dream. Or something.
I'm a casual, mostly reactive roleplayer. Reactive in that I usually don't do it unless other people around me are also doing it (though there have been a few notable exceptions in my MMORPG career), and casual in that I don't seek it out in RP-heavy locations (e.g. Pocket D, Gemini Park, etc), preferring instead spontaneous RP in other places (the metro station, Wentworths, under the Atlas statue, etc) or in pick-up groups.
I do prefer to have a modestly fleshed-out background for any of my characters. I'm not one of those people who just picks a powerset he likes, throws a costume together with a name and goes after it. If I can't come up with a definite character concept, I usually have trouble deciding on a costume and a powerset, and usually just blow the whole thing off.
I started playing in 2005, a couple months before I5 was released. I5 really turned me off the game, for reasons which now seem silly to me. I came back for another couple of months last year around this time, but then got sucked in to EQ2 by my old EQ guild.
I have a hard time staying focused on CoH. I find the missions very repetitive, and I get bored quickly. That said, I still think it's an excellent, well-done game. The repetition of the missions is really my only complaint about the game.
My current characters:
- Eisbock
- Mr. Chippendale
- Backhoe Bill
