Character histories

Have a perfectly crafted backstory for your character? Maybe you've experienced a significant event since coming to Iridine? Has another character become like family to you?

We'd love for you to take the time to update your character's HISTORY with this information.

In addition to being a way for you to document things about your character interactions you don't want to forget, this is an easy way for GMs to quickly see that you have a grudge with Constantine because he once called you a baby, or that you secretly are #TeamRavan, or any number of past IG interactions that might help us tailor a story or NPC interaction to you, personally.

You can read your current history simply by typing HISTORY and then you can update your history by typing HISTORY EDIT then entering the info. While you can't erase previous info, you could certainly add notes like "UPDATE 5/18 - #TeamRavan has gone #TeamInvex"

As a thank you for taking the time to update your history, we will be awarding RPs to those that do. The more detailed and complete, the history, the more RPs you can earn - however, everyone that takes the time to make an update will receive an RP award of some amount.

Interesting initiative, great idea.

 

Out of curiosity, what's the max RPs that can be earned for updating our HISTORY?  Is it per character or per account?

I never tried, but are you looking for a full "character bio" type of history (like full-on paragraphs) or mainly bullet points?

 

I assume histories should be from "our" perspective, similar to power-emoting guidelines?
e.g.
2021-01-01: Dragaxus and Kered got into a fight and Dragaxus felt insulted.
and not
2021-01-01: Dragaxus and Kered got into a fight and Dragaxus was the victor while Kered admitted axes are better than swords and ran off to lick salmon and regret any poor choices in life.

Updated even had the old stuff from before there, it also states Drag admitted defeat that axes are good to cut trees not to fight #teamtrout all the way
