Ugh, I'm a rp'r not a story writer lol.
I've been a DM PnP wise since I was 13, I'm 33. I already discribed his life leading to now. And never once did I ask the player to tell me what the NPC's in his life do once the character was created.
I can't see how I need to explain details in the jobs he took in the guild in a story format before now, or, make up stuff for him after my story other then the rp I am doing while I play him. It's not up to me to DM myself...the DM's are suppost to run with what I am requesting.
I'm not sure what you want from me, I'm sorry. If you want names of his guild member leaders.. what they specifically sent him here to do.. ok, I can do that I guess. But I have a hard time understanding why It's important.
When I DM'd PnP all those years, all I asked the player to do was tell me a bit about his past, important NPC's he would like added and a discription of any guild or organisation they belonged to. That's it. I took care of the rest.
I can't write a story for him, when I haven't been DM'd yet.
All I am looking for is, a DM to either create, or use an already exsisting thieves guild and start creating orders for Jarl. An assassination mission, a robbery, a 'friendly' reminder to someone who owes money... etc.
I hope you aren't hoping that the players have a certain complete life in mind and write it out and the DM's make it happen... cause that defeats the purpose of RP. RP is random, events determine the outcomes and changes to a PC's life.
Anyway, this is not a rant, or a complaint. I just figured I need to inform you all of exactly what I want and how I am understanding your request for me to write a story.
If I am wrong, let me know and maybe explain to me a bit better and all is well. If I am right, well, we will see where this goes. Wether I'm able to comform to the way you work here on this server or not.
P.S. I don't have my characters that are obviously outclassed enter epic battles. I'm not much of a communal player in that regards where as the entire server is out for some massive war. From super epic PC's to lvl 4-5's.. imo, that just doesn't make any sense. My pc's need to evolve into that. Not jump into it oocly knowing that my PC will live because the DM's will make sure of it, or a high level pc/npc cleric is handy with a raise spell.
